While many Halloween fans might be planning all the movies they aim to watch to get ready for spooky season, Freeform makes the whole thing a bit easier by delivering beloved films and TV shows every night in October as part of their 31 Nights of Halloween programming event. This year marks the network’s 25th year of the programming block, which could be its most exciting and eclectic mix yet. Not only will the network deliver a number of fan-favorite movies like Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Goosebumps, but it will also mark the debut of Encanto, Zombies, and Zombies 2. Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween officially kicks off on October 1st.
