The Full Schedule for Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween Is Here!

If you’re a horror fan, you pretty much have to love Halloween. You may not enjoy dressing up, you might not be a huge fan of candy, and you may not be a huge party animal, but there’s one thing about this time of year that every horror fan loves: scary movies on TV. Pretty much all October long, you can always find something spooky to watch at any hour of the day (or night!). In fact, there are often numerous horror films playing on different channels at the same time, so you might even have some tough decisions to make.

Even though we’re still a month away from that glorious season, we’re already starting to get an idea of what terrifying treats will be waiting for us when we turn on our TVs. Every year, Freeform hosts “31 Nights of Halloween,” and they recently came out with their 2021 schedule for this much-anticipated event. It spans the entire month of October, and while it’s not 24/7, it never takes a day off.

Since Freeform is more of a family-oriented channel, don’t expect to find anything too extreme in this schedule. It usually tends to focus on movies like Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas, and this year is no different. In addition to those two staples, “31 Nights of Halloween” is also going to feature some other gateway horror classics like The Addams Family, Corpse Bride, and Frankenweenie along with a whole host of other spooky titles the whole family can enjoy.

And if you’re looking for something geared more towards adults, don’t worry, Freeform has you covered too. In addition to kids’ movies, they’ll also be showing a few genre milestones like Jaws, Alien, and Ghostbusters as well as Halloween-themed episodes of adult cartoons like Family Guy and The Simpsons. So whatever your spooky preferences, check out the schedule for Freeform’s “31 Nights of Halloween” this year, and you’ll be sure to find something to suit your particular horror tastes.
