Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween 2026 Schedule: See the Full Lineup
It’s almost that spooky time of the year, and you know what that means: Freeform’s “31 Nights of Halloween.”
The network has released the 2026 schedule, which includes the premiere of new supernatural series Coven Academy on October 1 — with the full season available to stream the next day on Disney+, Hulu, and Freeform on Demand — as well as classics and staples of the event, like Hocus Pocus, Tim Burton‘s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Casper.
Tim Burton takes over Friday, October 16, with Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Dark Shadows, and, of course, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The Ghostbusters franchise, including Freeform’s premiere of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, is also part of the lineup.
