Grab your pumpkin spice lattes because Freeform’s “31 Nights of Halloween” returns for a frightfully delightful lineup of Halloween favorites that will keep viewers entranced all month long.
Eerily epic Halloween films ranging from classics like “Casper,” “Beetlejuice,” “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Edward Scissorhands” to modern fan favorites like 2023’s “Haunted Mansion” (broadcast debut), “Cruella” and “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” fill Freeform’s beloved lineup.
Dastardly double features include “Hocus Pocus”/”Hocus Pocus 2” (broadcast debut), “Monsters Inc.”/”Monsters University” and “The Incredibles”/”The Incredibles 2.”
Timeless favorites include the Freeform premieres of “Arachnophobia,” “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad” and “Muppets From Space.”
Tim Burton fans, rejoice! THE LINEUP features a marathon of Tim Burton’s ghoulishly grand films on Sunday, Oct. 13, including 2019’s live-action “Dumbo,” “Frankenweenie” and “Dark Shadows,” among other classics.
In need of a good binge session? Season one of the Disney+ hit series “Goosebumps” will air in its entirety on Friday, Oct. 25.
Last year’s event reached 24 million viewers, and Freeform ranked as a Top 5 cable entertainment network among Adults 18-34 (#2) and Adults 18-49 (#5).**
