August is ending and that means, among other things, that Halloween is right around the corner. We see it already in the arrival of Halloween candy and snacks on store shelves, as well as Halloween-themed adventures, such as Halloween Horror Nights kicking off at Universal Studios. In terms of entertainment, the change in the calendar also means fans of the spooky holiday are also starting to make their plans for what movies to watch as they countdown to the big holiday itself and each year, Freeform makes the task just a little bit easier with their 31 Nights of Halloween programming event. This year is the network's 26th year with the special programming block and this year, it's full of fun frights, including 2023's Haunted Mansion, Hocus Pocus 2, the Goosebumps series, and plenty more.
From classic favorites like Halloweentown and the original Beetlejuice to some of the newer options mentioned above — and even a few Freeform premieres — there's no shortage of spooky content to get ready for Halloween with this year's 31 Days of Halloween programming on Freeform. Read on for the complete schedule!
