Get ready for a thrilling Halloween treat! John Travolta's sister, Ellen Travolta, at the ripe age of 86, has embraced her love for the spooky season in a unique way. She's transformed into the iconic Bride of Frankenstein for Hallmark's latest movie, Haul Out the Halloween, and it's a sight to behold!
But here's where it gets controversial... Ellen's portrayal of the Bride isn't just any ordinary costume; it's a statement piece that challenges the typical horror-filled Halloween tropes. In a refreshing twist, she explains that Ever SCREAM Lane, the setting for her character's adventures, is designed to spark imagination and community spirit rather than scare people witless.
And this is the part most people miss... Ellen's passion for Halloween runs deep, rooted in her childhood memories with her five siblings. They crafted homemade treats, scoured thrift stores for costumes, and went trick-or-treating together, all while learning valuable lessons about sharing and financial responsibility.
In an emotional revelation, Ellen shared how, due to their family's financial struggles, they were taught to give back. She recalled, "When you get (a full bag of candy), circle around back and we'll put it in our bowl and we'll regive it." It's a heartwarming reminder of the true spirit of Halloween and the importance of community.
As a mother and now a grandmother, Ellen has carried on the tradition of homemade costumes, creating unique outfits for her children and even her son Tom, who dressed up as Danny Zuko from Grease, a role famously portrayed by John Travolta.
Ellen's love for Halloween has stood the test of time, and she continues to embrace it with her family in Spokane, Washington.
So, what do you think? Is Halloween about scary costumes and thrills, or is it a celebration of community and imagination? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Let's spark a friendly debate and share our Halloween stories and traditions.
