From the article:

“Initially, the original ending of the first ‘Halloweentown’ movie was not Marnie putting the talisman in the middle of the jack-o'-lantern. It was Marnie putting the talisman in the middle of a deep, dark forest,” the 37-year-old explained.

In the original ending, Brown revealed, the protagonist of the story grew "exponentially older" as she traveled deeper into the forest.

"So, they made a plaster of Paris mold of my face so they could then make the older mask for me," she said. "But we never got to making the mask because the ending was rewritten."
