Freeform’s “31 Nights of Halloween” is back and better than ever for its 25th anniversary, this time featuring spooky favorites from “Encanto” to “Hocus Pocus.”
The lineup, which runs from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31, will return to classic holiday tales including “The Haunted Mansion” (2003), “Hocus Pocus” (1993), “Little Shop of Horrors” (1986), “The Addams Family” (1991) as well as the 30th anniversary of “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas,” as new releases like “Encanto,” “Zombies” and “Zombies 2” make their debut on Freeform.
The monthlong event, a trailer for which you can watch above, will also reconnect viewers with nostalgic film series from the 2000s and 2010s, including “Halloweentown,” “Twilight,” “Shrek,” “Twitches” and “Hotel Transylvania.” Beloved film series “Monsters, Inc.” and “The Amazing Spider-Man” will air this October, alongside monster-adjacent Disney spinoffs “Cruella” and “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.”
“Over the last 25 years, our viewers have grown up with ‘31 Nights of Halloween’ as a time-honored tradition to watch Halloween favorites and connect with their loved ones during this special time of the season,” ABC Entertainment and Freeform EVP of programming and content strategy Simran Sethi said in a statement. “There’s something sentimental about these holiday classics that brings a real sense of comfort and nostalgia to people, and we look forward to celebrating this anniversary with another spirited lineup.”
During last year’s “31 Nights of Halloween,” the programming event boosted Freeform’s ratings to become the most-watched primetime cable networks in entertainment — excluding news and sports — across several key demographics, including adults 18-34, women 18-34 and women 18-49.
