I love watching scary movies but my family is a bunch of wimps. They flat out refuse to watch any type of horror movie with me. Who doesn’t love cozying up on the couch for a good thrill? This is why I look forward to Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween schedule because the line up is what I call scary-light. I can get the taste of a good Halloween movie without my husband and daughter turning on all the lights when they go upstairs. Here are the highlights of Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween schedule.
Freeform just released their 31 Nights of Halloween schedule and here are the highlights. This post has been updated for 2022.
When does Hocus Pocus 2 premiere?
Hocus Pocus 2 will stream exclusively on Disney Plus starting September 30th. Even Freeform is excited about this revival and will be airing Hocus Pocus all month long.
When is Hocus Pocus on this October?
When is Hocus Pocus not on is the real question. It seems this 28-year-old fantasy/horror movie starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy is all over current pop culture. Good thing is Hocus Pocus will air thirteen times on Freeform throughout October, starting on October 1.

What’s the Scariest Movie on the 31 Nights of Halloween Schedule?
For me it’s got to be A Quiet Place. Have I seen this movie? I absolutely have not, but the preview alone is terrifying.
Get Out will also premiere on FreeForm as part of 31 Nights of Hallloween. Yet another movie I’m entirely too scared to watch, but you might be the perfect audience.

Freeform will premiere several new movies during 31 Nights of Halloween. These aren’t technically new, original movies but new to Freeform.

Halloween Movies that Make You Go Hmmm
Megan and I debate a lot about what makes a Halloween movie. The big one we argue about is ET: the Extra-Terrestrial. Weigh in down below in the comments, would you? There is one movie on the 13 Nights of Halloween line up that seems real off and it’s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. It’s a great movie but is it a Halloween movie?
