August is almost gone, which means Halloween is around the corner — and Freeform is here to help with the official schedule of its annual 31 Nights of Halloween.

On August 29, 2024, Freeform officially released the full schedule for this year’s iteration of 31 Nights of Halloween, an annual event where, in the leadup to Halloween, Halloween-adjacent content airs pretty much round the clock. What does that mean? Well, essentially, that all of your spooky needs will be covered from October 1 to October 31, with new titles airing each day.

This year’s 31 Nights of Halloween lineup features plenty of classics like Casper, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Edward Scissorhands. The slate will also include Beetlejuice, which is perfect if you need a refresher before or after watching its sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which comes out this September.

If you want your watch sessions to be longer, fret not because Freeform will also have “frightfully delightful” double whammies like Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus 2, as well as Monsters Inc. and Monsters University. If a sequel is not enough, there will also be a marathon of season one of Disney+’s Goosebumps. And it won’t be the only marathon. Sunday, October 13, will be a Tim Burton-only day with titles like Dumbo, Frankenweenie, and Dark Shadows, among others.

While a lot of these have made Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween before, the channel will also premiere new titles this year, including Arachnophobia, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Muppets From Space, and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. Haunted Mansion will also have its broadcast debut during the event.

If you are ready to bid summer adieu and get into the spooky mood, you can check out Freeform’s full schedule for 2024’s 31 Nights of Halloween below.
