October has officially arrived, and that means one thing: it’s time to cozy up with your crew and dive into the frightfully fun world of Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween! Whether you’re a die-hard fan of witches and werewolves or just love a good pumpkin-spiced movie night, this year’s lineup is bursting with family-friendly thrills, giggles, and just the right amount of goosebumps.
🧙♀️ What’s Brewing on Freeform This October?
From October 1st through Halloween night, Freeform is serving up a cauldron full of classic and modern Halloween hits. Expect beloved favorites like:
- Hocus Pocus & Hocus Pocus 2 (double the Sanderson sass!)
- Casper (the friendliest ghost you’ll ever meet)
- Hotel Transylvania & Hotel Transylvania 2 (monster laughs for all ages)
- Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (is it Halloween or Christmas? Yes.)
- Twitches & Twitches Too (twin magic and sisterly love)
- Monsters, Inc. & Monsters University (Pixar perfection with a spooky twist)
And for the grown-up kids (or brave tweens), there’s a Tim Burton marathon on October 13 featuring Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, and Edward Scissorhands—a perfect mix of eerie artistry and storytelling magic.
🧡 Family Fun, Freeform Style
What makes 31 Nights of Halloween so special? It’s designed with families in mind.
- Daytime delights: Many movies air earlier in the day, perfect for little ones who want spooky fun without the nightmares.
- Weekend marathons: Saturdays and Sundays are stacked with back-to-back hits, so you can turn movie night into a full-on pajama party.
- Nostalgia meets new: Parents can relive their childhood favorites (The Witches, Matilda, Addams Family) while introducing kids to newer gems like Encanto and Haunted Mansion (2023).

You can catch all the ghoulish goodness live on Freeform or stream select titles via Hulu and Disney+ (depending on availability). Just grab your blanket, pop some popcorn, and let Freeform be your haunted host all month long.
Whether you’re carving pumpkins, sipping cider, or dancing to “I Put a Spell on You,” Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween is your ticket to family bonding with a spooky twist.
