Like the first it began on Halloween, though this time around the Cromwell household was hosting a large Halloween party rather than avoiding Halloween altogether. Mum Gwen (Judith Hoag) and grandmother Aggie (Debbie Reynolds) were still bickering and eldest sibling Marnie (Kimberly J. Brown) was well in with her witch training. We do get a mortal (Jessica Lucas) dressed as a vampire at the party.

Less vampire appearance than the first film, but still there. The imdb page is here.
Honourable Mention: Halloweentown High
This third instalment was from 2004 and was directed by Mark A.Z. Dippé. It followed on from the second film and the fact that Marnie opened the Halloweentown portal so that it worked all year round. The council of Halloweentown congratulate her and look to the proposal that some Halloweentown kids go to the mortal world on exchange. When there are reservations about this, Marnie bets the Cromwell magic that it will be successful.
This leads to a group of kids (in human suits) going to the high school and posing as Canadian exchange students. It also leads to the resurrection of the fear of a group of knights sworn to destroy monsters and protect the world from the denizens of halloweentown.

For information, the fourth film – Return to Halloweentown – had a different actress playing Marnie and no noticeable vampire element.
