Here’s Every Single Time ‘Hocus Pocus’ Is Airing On Freeform’s 31 Nights Of Halloween
September is almost here, which means the time for Halloween costume prep and pumpkin spice everything is approaching. But more importantly, it means that Freeform's 31 Nights of Halloween television event kicks off in just over a month. Freeform has announced their 31 Nights of Halloween 2019 schedule, and you're going to want to clear your schedules so you can stay in every night.
The spooky extravaganza kicks off on Oct. 1, lasting all the way through the actual holiday on Oct. 31. As usual, the network will be airing all of your favorite Halloween movies, including The Haunted Mansion, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, and of course, Hocus Pocus, which you have 29 chances to watch this season. That equates to nearly one airing per day!
Most excitingly, Freeform will be airing the classic Ghostbusters films, all three Scream movies, and the "Treehouse of Terror" episodes of The Simpsons for the first time this season. Of course, there are some movies on the schedule that don't make much sense (what do Finding Nemo, Moana, and Iron Man have to do with Halloween?), but they're still great so who cares. In addition, Freeform will film the 31 Nights of Halloween Fan Fest at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, celebrating the holiday's most iconic and hilarious pop culture moments.
