The Freeform ’31 Days of Halloween’ is Back for 2022

Freeform 31 Days of Halloween

The spooky season is coming up, and if Hulaween‘s horror offerings are too adult, and the Disney Channel’s not-so-scary family fare isn’t your thing, then the Freeform channel’s “31 Days of Halloween” should be just right.


The Highlights

The Freeform “31 Days of Halloween” schedule starts October 1 at 7am ET, and runs until the clock rolls over into the wee hours of November 1, 2022.

In between will be airings of movies like “Hocus Pocus,” “Beetlejuice,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” and many of Tim Burton’s other movies. There will also be showings of movie series like “Maleficent,” “Hotel Transylvania,” “Ghostbusters,” “Halloweentown,” and “Monsters, Inc.”

This year’s line-up include Freeform premieres of adult horror like “Get Out,” “Halloween” (2018), “Happy Death Day’ and its sequel, and “A Quiet Place,” but they’ve been edited to not be so graphic.

Plus enjoy animated horror via episodes of “Family Guy,” and “The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror.”

Get your calendar ready, because I have the entire Freeform “31 Days of Halloween” schedule for you.
