Get excited because Freeform is showing Hocus Pocus 30 times this month—here's the lineup

Caitlin White

Nothing says spooky season is starting like the launch of the Freeform 31 Nights of Halloween schedule. When the network dropped its jam-packed list of daily and nightly seasonal movies in August, we were hyped, and now that it’s finally here, we are planning our entire October schedules around these ghoulishly fun Halloween movies. Cue the planning of our Halloween costumes and sipping of spiked apple cider under warm blankets on the couch, catching our favorite flicks on repeat. This October marks the second year of extra tricks and treats from Freeform, since last year the beloved “13 Nights of Halloween” got upgraded to “31 Nights of Halloween” to encompass the entire month of October.

Of course, more nights means more showings of our personal favorite, Hocus Pocus. Look, we may have seen it dozens of times already, but now we know for sure we aren’t going to miss it this year. In fact, we may even plan an entire viewing party around it. Just as exciting? Legit scary movie Scream will air for the first time in the event. You can watch it more than once and back-to-back with Scream 2 and Scream 3. This feels like a really good opportunity to invite all your friends over to half watch, half hide your faces in a pillow.

From delightfully frightful films to silly stories of the supernatural, Freeform’s 2019 Halloween lineup is one you don’t want to miss. Here’s the full Freeform 31 Nights of Halloween schedule for your planning purposes. All times listed are Eastern time.
