What is Monstober? Monstober (previously named Disney Channel’s Hauntober Fest and later called Wiz-tober in 2008) was a nightly marathon of Halloween-related movies that debuted on October 1, 2005 on Disney Channel. In 2012, Wiz-tober was renamed Monstober to get ready for the Girl Vs. Monster premiere. While the Disney Channel does continue to air Halloween related programming during the month of October, Monstober appears to have officially ended after October 2016.

To the person who makes these schedules, remember last year I told you that I had a dream where Disney Channel would play The Haunted Mansion and The Nightmare Before Christmas?
Well they never aired Haunted Mansion last year on Oct 31 but they are playing it this year on OCT 29 at 8pm.
FYI: Muppets Haunted Mansion (2021) will have a Cable TV premiere on Disney Channel OCT 22 at 8pm. ZOMBIES 3 will have the Lost-Song version premiere At 7pm on Oct 30th and another rerun of Muppets Haunted Mansion comes after that.
🎃🎃🎃
I’ll give you more detail on this tonight. I have the rest of this years schedule written down and I’ll tell you it tonight or tomorrow!!
Unbelievable! Disney wants an additional 1 billion dollars from DISH Network to renew the contract they have between the companies. Since they are unable to come to an agreement most of the Disney owned companies have been taken off the air. Guess what that means? No Halloween movies, GREAT! I had The Witches and The Haunted Mansion ready to record on Freeform this morning, instead a DISH employee is announcing that Disney wants an additional 1 billion so that Dish can pass that price increase on to the consumer. Disney also owns ABC but for some reason it’s airing on DISH right now, although it should be taken down. I’m so disappointed in Disney.
Same on-screen logo for Disney Channel this year, but I loved it from last year and I’m happy it’s back.
The bumpers are very nice but they got rid of China McClain saying “Calling All The Monsters” and I’m kinda sad 😔 the music in the background is gone too and it’s so depressing because I was so excited for it to be back since the title “calling all the monsters” was announced to be back 2 weeks ago. Besides all that, I’m very happy for this logo and the theme is nice. Pretty boring that all they say it “we’ll be right back to the show” why can’t they add more like they did before. Example: “Spooktacular, we’re back to the show on Disney channel”
Hmm… maybe more will be added Saturday. It’s not even October yet.
What’s coming this ‘Calling All The Monsters’ to Disney Channel.
Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie. Looks like Disney is following a Tim Burton marathon all October and each one is likely premiering on Sunday’s starting on Oct 9 starting with corpse bride, Nightmare before Christmas and then Frankenweenie.
More things included are Halloweentown 1 & 2. Hotel Transylvania 1-3. Under Wraps 1 &2. And More movies possibly included. Catch ‘The Worst Witch’ weekdays at 4PM.
More amazing news pumpkins!! 🎃
Next week on DISNEY CHANNEL is called “calling all the monsters movie week” with reruns of Halloweentown 1 & 2 and Hotel Transylvania 1-3. It was announced today that Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride will air on Disney Channel Sun, Oct 9 at 7:00pm. The Worst Witch season four premiere is Fri, Oct 21 at 4:30pm – the season finale is Mon, Oct 31 at 4:00pm 2-part finale.
Spookiz (A short film) will debut on Disney Channel Wed, Oct 19 at 1:00pm. Zombies 3 Alien Stories will premiere on Disney Channel Sun, Oct 30 at 7:00pm. FYI: Toy Story of TERROR will air continuously throughout October on DISNEY XD. ZOMBIE-Thon will premiere Oct 17 on Disney XD. The Corpse Bride will be aired frequently on Disney XD including (Oct 2, 3 & 16) more to be included soon! 🎃 THIS HALLOWEEN IS SO AWESOME FOR DISNEY. I can’t wait to see what other movies Disney has in store for us eager Fans!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Disney is being SO amazing this Halloween 😭 I Never thought in a million years that Monstober would return and Halloween Movies would be back on Disney Channel.
For anybody who doesn’t know, Halloweentown (1998) will be on Disney Channel Thursday, September 29 at 8:00pm and Halloweentown ll: Kalabar’s Revenge will air Friday, September 30 at 8:00pm 😁🎃 all of this is happening in September, what will October bring?? And why is this happening? They haven’t aired Halloweentown (1998) since May 1, 2021. And Halloweentown 2 was last aired Oct 31, 2019.
THANK YOU DISNEY!

Disney Channel is starting Halloween SO early this year that it’s starting to seem like they’re planning something amazing for October this year.
Here is everything coming!
Sun, Sep 25 – UNDER WRAPS 2 (Halloween DCOM) 8/7c
9:35pm – BUNK’D (HALLOWEEN EPISODE)
Halloween premiere week:
Tue, Sep 27 – Eureka (HALLOWEEN EPISODE) 11:00am.

Thu Sep 29 – Mickey Mouse Funhouse (HALLOWEEN EPISODE) Disney Jr 11:00pm.
Fri, Sep 30 – Firebuds (HALLOWEEN EPISODE) 10:30am Disney Channel.
I don’t know why everything Halloween is getting premiered in September, but I’m over the top excited and I hope all this excitement pays off with a monstober surprise.
Any updates on Girl vs Monster, Twitches, Twitches Too, Halloweentown, Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge, Halloweentown High, and Return to Halloweentown?
I remember watching Disney as a kid and always looked forward to Sunday nights. I even watched Disney as I grew older and became an adult. Eventually, I had children and raised them watching Disney. As a family we all have our favorites and miss seeing them aired on the Disney Channel. The old Disney Halloween movies were the best!
I’m sure I’ve missed a couple but here are some of the best…
Don’t look under the bed, Under wraps (1997), Mr. Boogedy, Bride of Boogedy, Tower of Terror, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949), The Scream Team, Phantom of the Megaplex, Mom’s got a date with a Vampire, Bed knobs and Broom sticks, Halloweentown, Halloweentown II, Halloweentown High, Return to Halloweentown, The Black Cauldron, Frankenweenie, The Haunted Mansion, Fantasia, Escape to With Mountain, Return from Witch Mountain, The Ghosts of Buxley Hall, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Watcher in the Woods, The Addams Family, The Devil and Max Devlin, Dragonslayer, and The Cat from Outer space.
Hoping next Halloween is another Halloween DCOM – AND No, I do not want an ‘Under Wraps 3’ with “EVEN MORE MORE MUMMIES”
THE extra mummies is obscured, can’t we just be creative and more spookier than mummies?
I loved Under Wraps last year, it was a great welcoming to spooky season, but they really didn’t need a sequel this Halloween.
If anything, we should get a sequel to Girl vs. monster, that movie definitely needs a sequel. But I wouldn’t say everything needs a sequel, let’s just make new Halloween movies every Halloween and have fun!
‘Under Wraps 2’ premieres Sun, Sep 25th at 8/7c after a new Halloween Episode of Bunk’d at 7:30pm.
Under Wraps (2021) will likely be aired at 8:00pm on Sat, Sep 24th since they have no room for it on the 25th because of the new episode of BUNK’D.
All I can say is… this is freaking amazing!
First, A SUNDAY NIGHT?! They haven’t had Sunday premieres in like 6-8 years.
Second, Halloween will begin in September on Disney Channel making this the first Monstober to take place in September.
Finally, premiering in September is kinda odd for Disney, they are letting loose Halloween premieres earlier which might be a “HOPEFUL” sign that they will use that extra room for Halloween movies.
You can check out the ‘Under Wraps 2’ trailer on Disney Channels YouTube.
Let’s keep hoping for a Monstober Return
Ok this really gets my hopes up that the Disney Channel will do SOMETHING this Halloween!
maybe they just repeat all over the month the same two movies puf
Please start October with Girl vs Monster, Twitches, and Twitches Too. Lot more than once and then please start Halloween this year with Halloweentown, Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge, Halloweentown High, and Return to Halloweentown. Please make it last the entire Halloween day. Please and thanks.
Please start the month with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow from 1949 to allow the children today the opportunity to experience a masterpiece from 70 years ago. Flood your Monstober lineup with all of the greats from Disney!
Something I do not like is how when the schedule finally appears on the guide for October everything is labeled as TBA for 3-8 days. Legit, Disney is the only channel to do that and it’s irritating.
I don’t know why, or how, but my only guess is Disney is slow on making their holiday month schedules if they can’t do it, give the job to somebody who can.
Besides that, Happy July 1st everyone, we are another step closer to a disappointing monstober on Disney Channel. Or, more just like Disney considering the so called “Channel” is just reruns of big city greens which does not fit into the category of a channel.
Disney should play all of the greats like…
Don’t look under the bed, Under wraps (1997), Mr. Boogedy, Bride of Boogedy, Tower of Terror, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949), The Scream Team, Phantom of the Megaplex, Mom’s got a date with a Vampire, Bed knobs and Broom sticks, Halloweentown, Halloweentown II, Halloweentown High, Return to Halloweentown, The Black Cauldron, Frankenweenie, The Haunted Mansion, Fantasia, Escape to With Mountain, Return from Witch Mountain, The Ghosts of Buxley Hall, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Watcher in the Woods, The Addams Family, The Devil and Max Devlin, Dragonslayer, and The Cat from Outer space.
I noticed you did some updates to this website and I love them.
Everything looks amazing and I like how you updates the detail on monstober and unfortunately had to add that monstober ended 😢
Hopefully this year they will play at least a single airing of Halloweentown but I’ll just go to Freeform and AMC fear fest where they acknowledge fans.
Happy early Halloween! 70 days till Falltime
Thank you Jason, I am glad you like the updates! Yes, it was with much sadness to include what appears to have been the official ending to Monstober. So disappointing. Happy early Halloween to you! Can’t wait for October.
