It might feel too early for Halloween, but y’all, it’s NEVER too early to start making plans! Freeform 31 Nights of Halloween 2023 list is here! Breaking news from Freeform about what you can expect in October 2023 includes some new additions to old favorites: “Encanto,” “ZOMBIES” and “ZOMBIES 2.”
Halloween is huge around here and we all love watching the not-so-scary Disney Halloween movies all month long.
It gets us in the mood to dress up and celebrate when Halloween night appears.
But we gotta say, last year we watched way more of the Freeform offerings last year than the straight Disney ones.
You know the old saying: older kids, better family night movies. Check out these not-so-scary movies for tweens and teens.
We’re excited that the 31 Nights of Halloween are coming back- and it looks like it’s going to be bigger and better than ever!
