Here's the '31 Nights of Halloween' schedule

Light the black flame candle: This year's lineup is more spook-tacular than ever.

SALEM, Mass. — Freeform's "31 Night's of Halloween" schedule has arrived.

The spooky season kicks off Sunday, Oct. 1, and continues through Tuesday, Oct. 31.

"Monsters, Inc.," "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Cruella" and "The Addams Family" are among the film on this year's schedule, as well as the Freeform premieres of "Encanto," "Zombies" and "Zombies 2."

The Halloween classic "Hocus Pocus" will air at least 15 times this October on Freeform.

More popular than ever, the original Sanderson Sisters returned for "Hocus Pocus 2" last year. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy reprised their roles in the sequel that is streaming on Disney+.

"Over the last 25 years, our viewers have grown up with '31 Nights of Halloween' as a time-honored tradition to watch Halloween favorites and connect with their loved ones during this special time of the season," said Simran Sethi, executive vice president of programming and content strategy for ABC Entertainment and Freeform.

"There's something sentimental about these holiday classics that brings a real sense of comfort and nostalgia to people, and we look forward to celebrating this anniversary with another spirited lineup," Sethi said.
