Mark Your Calendars, Freeform's '31 Nights of Halloween' Lineup Is Scary Good
Get ready, ghouls and goblins, because the Halloween season is fast approaching. The last wave of summer heat may still be going strong, but Freeform is already preparing to celebrate the spookiest time of all. Freeform's "31 Nights of Halloween" 2019 lineup has been announced, so pencil in a month of witches, warlocks, and monsters into your October TV schedule.
Just as it celebrates "25 Days of Christmas" as soon as the calendar hits Dec. 1, Freeform is honoring Halloween this year with a packed schedule of family-friendly horror movies every day of October. While you have plenty of opportunities to see seasonal favorite Hocus Pocus, there are also chances to see less spooky flicks involving costumes or magical twists that definitely fit with the spirit of Halloween. Whether you're in the mood for a classic like The Nightmare Before Christmas or a newer animated movie like ParaNorman, Freeform's "31 Nights of Halloween" plans definitely can't be missed.
