Yes where is The Witches? Coraline? Corpse Bride? Frankenweenie? Addams Family Values? Sleepy Hollow? IT? Goosebumps? Ghostbusters? Tower of Terror? Mickey’s House of Villians? Van Helsing? Etc? Just wondering
I have seen these movies a million times some of them I have seen.
I miss Coroline.
They’ve expanded to 31 nights from 13 yet still opt to beat a dead horse with the same movies over and over again. Not to mention irrelevant ones that have nothing to do with Halloween or spooks. At least I’ve got a smart T.V.!
I would like too see Halloween town and the little vampire instead of parent trap these type of movies have nothing to do with Halloween
Where is the corpse Bride!!!??? This line up is awful
I’m very disappointed with the fact the corpse bride isn’t one here! I’ve watched that movie every year!
There should be more Halloween movies on freeform
Don’t care for the line up this year. At least show some “Halloween” movies. Don’t care to watch so much Adams Family. ☹️ Sorry I’ll be watching different channel this year!!!
Finally a month with no Harry Potter!!!!!!!!! Please don’t kill weekends in December with Harry Potter.
It would be great if along with Silver bullet that we could get a Monster Squad!!! That was a classic movie!!!
So I’m trying to watch the ancient thirteen nights of Halloween. However instead of “the Adams Family” movie, I get Grey’s Anatomy??
Where are my Halloween programs?? My kids and I are very disappointed!!!
I’m with you
i look forward to hocus pocus etc . but what i wish would happen is that like christmastime a few, fun new halloween movies would be shown once a week i don’t like blood and gore but what i like is suspense.
i love hocus pocus glad its on 9 times so i got 9 chances to see it
Me to
why is Halloween town on so late.
I don’t even see it on the list
there on disney channel earlier

7:00pm – Return to Halloweentown
This is Freeform, not Disney Channel. Each channel plays different movies. If you want to watch Halloween Town then stick to the Disney channel. It’s not the same channel. Each one has the rights to different movies, Halloween Town is exclusively for Disney.
What about the little vampire??
That’s what I m saying
Yeah, the Little Vampire. Me n my kids used to LOVE the Little Vampire. I dont think ive seen it on in years, but they should def play it this year.
Ghostbusters they need ghostbusters
i like the line up but i think huger games shouldnt be on here it has nothing to do with hallween
Absolutely agree.
I Love this, I think that Adams family movies and the hocus pocus should NEVER stop playing during the 13 nights of Halloween you should defiantly keep them for every year.
I liked last year better. Not so much Adams Family because to me that’s not Halloween or chain saw massacre filled with nothing but blood. To me shows should be about keeping you on the edge of your seat like Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis where you have the horror and not all the blood. Halloween should be scary but not gory. I like the Stephen king marathon that you had. Shows like that are what I like to see. thank you for your time
Personally disappointed no poltergeist this year
Poltergeist was a terrible movie. All of them were. Don’t be dumb.
