Nothing screams Halloween quite like Freeform's spell-binding "31 Nights of Halloween" roster. It's probably one of the easiest ways to get in the spooky spirit with classics like Hocus Pocus and fresher additions like Hotel Transylvania. A full month's worth of ghouls, ghosts and Sarah Jessica Parker casting spells? Sign us up!
