31 Nights of Halloween 2024 Brings Chills, Haunts, and Thrills to Freeform

Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween is back with all the thrills of cult classics, double features, TV marathons, and Freeform premieres.

The spectacularly stacked line-up of themed content returns on Tuesday, October 1, beginning with the Disney Channel Original Movie Halloweentown. 

The 31-day schedule of Halloween favorites includes classics like Casper, Beetlejuice, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Edward Scissorhands. It even features newer movies like 2021’s Cruella and sees 2022’s Hocus Pocus 2 and 2023’s Haunted Mansion make their broadcast TV debuts.

 

Arachnophobia, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, and Muppets From Space are all making their Freeform debuts during this year’s 31 Nights of Halloween. 

Freeform is dedicating Sunday, October 13, for a Tim Burton marathon. Also, Disney+’s Goosebumps series will air its entire debut season on Friday, October 25.

Last year’s 31 Nights of Halloween marked the seasonal programming’s 25th anniversary. It “reached 24 million viewers, and Freeform ranked as a Top 5 cable entertainment network among Adults 18-34 (#2) and Adults 18-49 (#5),” per Freeform.

So, cancel your plans and get ready for a month filled with spine-chilling movies and shows on Freeform. All programming is subject to change, and all times are EDT/PDT.
