The Full 13 Nights Of Halloween Schedule

by Alaina Urquhart-White

We all need stability in our lives. Network names may change, but there are some things that simply need to stay exactly the same. Well, like a true friend, Freeform (formerly ABC Family) is continuing the long-standing tradition of playing a myriad of scaryish movies for almost two full weeks at the end of October. That's right, it's time for the 2016 version of the 13 Nights of Halloween lineup. Of course, scary is a term that is sometimes applied loosely to the flicks that get picked for the Freeform Halloween schedule and this year is no different. After all, they are promoting Matilda as a Halloween movie, which I simply can't defend.

Occasional lack of relevance aside, this annual event is something that many people have come to love and look forward to each year. As soon as the leaves start to turn and the air gets crisp, it's time to search out every single opportunity to watch Hocus Pocus, am I right? Luckily, you can find that cinematic gem and other classics like A Nightmare Before Christmas on the schedule every year. And, I mean, who knew that there was like 45 sequels to Halloweentown? Trust me, if you need a good dose of family-friendly and super nostalgic Halloween goodness, this is your event. So buckle up, grab some spooky snacks and get ready for a seriously epic movie marathon.

Here is the official lineup with all times in ET that will run right up to Halloween.
