Freeform's 31 Nights of Halloween Schedule: Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters, Halloweentown and More

Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween lineup might seem like a whole bunch of Hocus Pocus, but there’s actually quite a bit of variety this year.

In fact, the beloved 1993 film starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy is scheduled to air just 14 times in 2020. That might sound like a lot… until you discover that the basic cabler aired the Walt Disney flick a whopping 30 (!) times in 2019.

Aside from Hocus Pocus, 2020’s most frequently programmed films include Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride (airing 13 times), Beetlejuice and Casper (each airing 12 times), and The Addams Family and Addams Family Values (each airing 11 times). You’ll also find multiple Simpsons marathons and select Disney Channel classics, including Halloweentown and Twitches.

New to the lineup are 2016’s Ghostbusters reboot, Hotel Transylvania 2 and 3, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and The Scorpion King.
