Freeform's 2022 31 Nights of Halloween Is Here — What to Watch and When

GHOSTBUSTERS, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray, 1984

Freeform's spookiest viewing season has started. The network is airing its beloved Halloween lineup, 31 Nights of Halloween, and you can plan ahead with the full schedule.

The month-long marathon includes spooky classics like "The Addams Family," "Ghostbusters," and "Hocus Pocus." On the schedule this year, there's content for the younger set, like "Hotel Transylvania" and "Halloweentown," but also downright scary horror films, including "A Quiet Place" and "Happy Death Day." Fans of fall can also watch how Walt Disney World gets transformed with pumpkins and leaves in the "Decorating Disney: Halloween Magic" special. Many of the movies this year are Freeform premieres, aka totally new additions to the channel's annual Halloween slate!

So while it's just starting to be crisp fall weather in most of the country, it's never too early to start planning for cozy nights in to enjoy a good jump scare. Read ahead for the full 31 Nights of Halloween schedule.
