Freeform's 31 Nights Of Halloween Schedule Is Frightful And Delightful

Can you smell it? The pumpkin spice in the air? The smell of fear wafting off of children as they head back to school without their homework? Halloween is the queen of fall, and with cooler weather coming, that means spooky season is almost here. And to help get you in the mood, Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween 2021 schedule is here to make the season’s TV full of fright.

Some networks live and die by the winter holiday season, but not as many go hard for Halloween. While some may feature a few nights of horror films or debut a scary TV show or two, Freeform goes all out for October, with a daily schedule that’s packed with spooky season goodies. It’s the perfect at-home accompaniment for DIYing costumes, making decorations, and carving pumpkins.

This year brings new titles to the network, adding more terrible terror and fun festivities to the schedule. Fans will get to watch Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Fright Night, Jaws, Cowboys & Aliens, and Men in Black II, among other visual treats. But don’t worry, the classics are still out in force, with Hocus Pocus as the channel’s centerpiece along with Tim Burton classics and timeless films like Ghostbusters.
