BUENA VISTA PICTURES/ANDREW COOPER

Get ready for a spooky good time and lots of Hocus Pocus this October as Freeform revealed its 31 Nights of Halloween lineup with all new premieres and more.

Beginning Monday, October 1, the longtime Freeform (formerly ABC Family) tradition of Halloween-themed programming will continue with fan favorite Hocus Pocus as well as The Nightmare Before Christmas, among others.

However, instead of its usual 13 nights, this year’s schedule extends to every day in October through the holiday on October 31. Freeform is getting edgy with some never-before-seen-on-Freeform titles, including the Johnny Depp-starring Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the classic Witches of Eastwick, and modern favorite Warm Bodies.

Fans of Hotel Transylvania will be glad to see the family-friendly film make its Freeform debut this month, as well. Of course, the most highly-anticipated title in the lineup is the Hocus Pocus 25th Anniversary Halloween Bash, which will feature the film’s stars discussing the movie on its anniversary.
