Get Excited, Because Freeform Is Showing Hocus Pocus 12 Times For ’31 Nights of Halloween’

Nothing says spooky season is starting like the launch of the Freeform 31 Nights of Halloween schedule. The network just dropped its jam-packed list of daily and nightly seasonal movies, and we’re hyped, to say the least. Cue the planning of our Halloween costumes and sipping of spiked apple cider under warm blankets while catching our favorite flicks on repeat. This October marks the third year of extra tricks and treats from Freeform—in 2018, 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 film, 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, because it’s slated to play 12 times. In fact, we may even plan an entire Zoom viewing party around it. Just as exciting? Legit scary movie trilogy Scream, will air this year, and you can watch it back-to-back with Scream 2 and Scream 3. More spooky flicks include Disney favorites Twitches and Halloweentown, plus the 1995 classic, Casper.

From delightfully frightful films to silly stories of the supernatural, Freeform’s 2020 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.
