Freeform is doing its ā€˜31 Nights of Halloweenā€™ during 2020

Social distancing got a little easier thanks to Freeform and its iconic movie marathon. For October 2020, this television network will again have its ā€œ31 Nights of Halloween.ā€ In fact, earlier this fall, Freeform released its movie schedule for the Halloween month.Ā 

The ā€œ31 Nights of Halloweenā€ movie schedule includes Disney movies like Halloweentown, Monsters University, and Halloweentown II: Kalabarā€™s Revenge, as well as iconic Halloween-related movies like Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation and The Addams Family.Ā 

These Halloween favorites broadcast on a daily basis, with movies playing all day during Oct. 31. However, this schedule is somewhat different from years past. Hocus Pocus is reaching new heights, broadcasting on Freeform a total of 14 times throughout the month of October.

Last year, however, Freeform had its own Hocus Pocus marathon all day on Halloween. Instead, this Halloween, movies available for streaming include Twitches, Halloweentown, Hocus Pocus, and The Addams Family.
