Here’s Every Single Movie Airing During Freeform’s ‘31 Nights of Halloween’ in 2023

Assume your binge-watching positions, because 31 Nights of Halloween is almost here. That’s right, Freeform is giving us 31 reasons to cancel all our plans with a month-long marathon of fall classics in October.

Originally offering 13 Nights of Halloween (and previously 13 Days of Halloween), the network stepped up their spooky game and changed the event to 31 Nights of Halloween back in 2018. And it seems like that’s how it will remain because 2023’s lineup includes 31 days of classic, family-friendly films beginning on October 1. 

Keep reading for the full 31 Nights of Halloween schedule.

Each year, 31 Nights of Halloween is a seasonal programming block on the Freeform channel featuring holiday-themed films that are family-friendly (that means you won’t be finding horror films like Silence of the Lambs or Insidious on the lineup). The month-long event originally began in 1998 after the Family Channel became Fox Family, and was continued through the channel’s change into ABC Family and now, Freeform. Films run from the first of the month until Halloween, with up to nine (!) movies showing in one day. And yes, there are reruns (more on that later). 

You can definitely expect to see some fan favorites on this year’s lineup and most likely, they’ll be played a handful of times so you’ll never miss a beat. For example, last year the network played Hocus Pocus 13 times, ahead of the release of the highly-anticipated sequel Hocus Pocus 2. (In 2023, they'll be playing it 18 times.)

The list also included staples such as Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, Bewitched, The Addams Family, Halloweentown and more. Not all films on the schedule are necessarily Halloween movies, though. For example, Mrs. Doubtfire, Monsters Inc., Cruella and Spider-Man are all included in this year’s lineup. 

You can watch 31 Nights of Halloween on Freeform beginning on October 1. However, you can also stream it on Hulu here.
