Get ready for a spooky surprise! John Travolta's 86-year-old sister, Ellen, is bringing her Halloween spirit to the big screen in Hallmark's 'Haul Out the Halloween' movie. But here's the twist: she's not just any ordinary fan of the holiday; she's transformed into the iconic Bride of Frankenstein! In a heartwarming scene, Ellen joins actor Daniel Kountz on Ever SCREAM Lane, where they enjoy a fun night out. The film, premiering this Saturday, October 11, on the Hallmark channel, stars Lacey Chabert, Wes Brown, Melissa Peterman, and Stephen Tobolowsky. But it's Ellen's unique take on the classic monster that has everyone talking.
In the movie, Ellen rocks a signature rectangular-shaped wig with two parallel white lines and a white long-sleeve dress with textured fabric. Her performance is a testament to her love for Halloween, which started early in life. As a child, she and her siblings crafted homemade treats, thrifted costumes, and went trick-or-treating together. One memorable moment was when her mother bought an antique dress, and with a bit of imagination, Ellen won a costume contest in New Jersey for her 'most unique' look. This passion for Halloween has only grown stronger over the years.
Now, Ellen continues the tradition with her daughter, making costumes from scratch, like a pumpkin costume made from a burlap oat bag, and even dressing her son Tom as Danny Zuko, the character John Travolta portrayed in 'Grease'. But it's not just about the costumes; it's about the community and the fun. Ellen emphasizes that Ever SCREAM Lane in Utah is designed to spark imagination and bring people together, not just to scare. Her involvement in the film industry, including the other two films in the trilogy, 'Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up', showcases her dedication to the craft. As she says, 'For me to be doing these is a great treat.' So, get ready to be inspired by Ellen Travolta's Halloween spirit and join the fun!
