There Are So Many Classic Halloween Movies To Stream On Disney+ Right Now

The one, the only, the original story of Jack Skellington, Tim Burton's famed Halloween cartoon, The Nightmare Before Christmas, is now a resident on Disney+, and is still as perfect for the season as you remember.

Hocus Pocus is still a mainstay of Freeform's Halloween movie countdown. But this Bette Midler-led film from Kenny Ortega (the man behind High School Musical) can be watched anytime on Disney+. (And there's a sequel in the works, too.)

Coco is Pixar's brilliant story of a little boy transported to the Land of the Dead to seek out his deceased musician great-great-grandfather. It's perfect viewing as part of any Day of the Dead celebrations. While that’s not exactly Halloween, the Mexican festival is in the same spirit, and one that deserves to be highlighted this time of year.

This 1975 tale of two psychic orphans is usually classified as science fiction. But the haunting story in what has become the long-running Witch Mountain saga has plenty of spookiness for the Halloween season.

A live-action Tim Burton classic, based on the novel of the same name, Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children is a magical story of a home for children with unusual powers. It's a time-traveling tale full of the terror of growing up and the wonder of discovering yourself.

The other Tim Burton comedy animation on the list, the 2012 3D stop motion Frankenweenie is a full-length remake of Burton's 1984 short story. In it, Victor Frankenstein uses electricity to resurrect his dead Bull Terrier, Sparky.

The scariest movie the Disney Channel ever produced, Don't Look Under the Bed details Francis' quest to determine if the Boogeyman is real. The film is famous for the House of Mouse pulling it from its rotation after parents complained, and it was the last horror-themed film made by the Disney Channel for many years after.

After the success of High School Musical, it's not surprising Disney Channel went whole hog one Halloween and made a zombie musical. Based on Zombies & Cheerleaders by David Light and Joseph Raso, Zombies stars Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly as a zombie football player and human cheerleader, respectively, who fall in love. It was followed by a sequel, Zombies 2.

Pixar gets into the Halloween spirit with an animated adventure. Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the toy gang head out on a road trip, only to find the scariest place is when you’re far from home.

One of the newest additions for Halloween, Disney+ brings Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent to the party. This retelling of Sleeping Beauty from the point of view of the Evil Fairy who loves her was a significant box office hit when it debuted in 2011, and it’s perfect fairytale Halloween fare a decade later.

Based on the series of novels by the same name, Twitches stars Tia and Tamera Mowry as twin witches separated at birth who rediscover each other on their 21st birthday. The film was so popular, it spawned a sequel, Twitches 2.

The first of four Halloweentown films, this 1998 Disney Channel classic creates an entire alternate universe where all the scaries of Halloween (witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, trolls, zombies, pumpkin heads, and so forth) have separated themselves from humanity and run their own village called Halloweentown.

Eddie Murphy stars in this 2003 supernatural comedy based on the famed Disney park ride. One of the few big-budget, big-screen films on the list, The Haunted Mansion was a critical disaster at the time but has since become a fun family-favorite and a so-bad-it's-good cult classic.

This 1999 Disney Channel science fiction comedy is based on a novel of the same name by Kathy Mackel. In it, Michael Shulman stars as Mike Pillsbury, who discovers he is an extraterrestrial when The Bom, an alien lawyer, arrives to have him sue for millions of galactic credits due to Earth's substandard living conditions.

This 1980 story of an army of ghosts trying to prevent the merger of 100-year-old Buxley Military Academy with a school for girls isn't just a classic; it's a timely tale of the futility of trying to hold back progress.

It's both ghosts and pirates all in one story when the spirit of Blackbeard decides to materialize in a New England town. He’s stuck until he manages to do one good deed, but it turns out that’s easier said than done when the college track team he haunts in hopes of helping them win turns out not to have a ghost of a chance.

A tale of colonial ghosts haunting a New England mansion is classic Halloween stuff. The Davis family moves in to find all sorts of haunted house goodies, including "The Boogedy Man." This made-for-TV movie was so popular when it arrived in the 1980s, Disney made a sequel, Bride of Boogedy.

Disney Channel's 2010 take on Phantom of the Opera, The Phantom of the Multiplex is as funny as it is gently spooky.
