Freeform's 31 Nights Of Halloween Confirms Jumanji Is A Horror Movie

This year, to celebrate the creepy season Freeform's 31 Nights of Halloween is adding some new movies to its schedule. Fan-favorites like Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus are, of course, still playing (Hocus Pocus is showing 14 times!). But, this year's Halloween lineup features an unexpected movie — Jumanji. No, it's not the reboot with The Rock, but rather the nightmare-inducing 1995 version starring the late Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst, and Bradley Pierce.

While not often considered a Halloween movie, Jumanji is about a jungle-themed board game coming to life, which, when you think about it, is truly every kid's worst fear. Add in the massive spiders crawling, the bats flying around, the scary lions, and some really mean monkeys roaming the streets, and you've got a straight up horror show. And it's additions like this that give Freeform's 2020 31 Nights of Halloween schedule a nice shakeup.

Of course, the annual event isn't known for showing the scariest of films. Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Goonies, and The Mummy aren't exactly Halloween movies, either. But, they have become fall staples over the years. And, really, is it October if movies like Casper, Ghostbusters, or Beetlejuice aren't playing every night?
