Don’t blink, y’all! We’re rolling quickly into Fall. Signs of fall are popping up everywhere around here: I spied pumpkins, witches, and spiderwebs on front porches already. You know what that means: Halloween Time is just around the corner! Which also means it’s the perfect time to start working your way through the ultimate list of Disney Halloween movies including the Disney Channel Halloween Movies.
When I think of Halloween, I think Disney.
Okay, to be honest: I think Disney pretty much year-round. Guilty!
But really: the holidays are my favorite time to visit the Disney parks but of course, we can’t always make the trips I want!
What’s a Disney family to do?
We settle in front of the tv from September through October with some Disney Halloween movies.
Hey, when you can’t Halloween at Disney, you bring Disney to your house with these Halloween Disney movie marathon ideas.
Grab your popcorn and let’s do this!
Grab some popcorn and settle in for this list of Disney Channel Halloween Movies. You wont want to miss these!
Disney Channel Halloween Movies
We are definitely Team Disney Channel over here. And it’s not *just* the kids who are obsessed.
Ahem.
Hi, I’m Shenanigans and I have an obsession with Disney Channel Original Movies.
You can find me watching High School Musical (1, 2, or 3) whenever Disney Channel hooks a mom up with a rerun!
So it makes total sense that we mark these Disney Channel Halloween Movies down as must-see during the months leading up to Halloween.
Here are my personal top Disney Channel Halloween Movies (in no particular order). You can find most of them on Amazon (affiliate links included) if you need to rent or purchase the movies.
Disney Channel Halloween Movies: Halloweentown is a HUGE hit in our house!

14. Descendants
You know you love them, too! Disney Channel Halloween Movies includes The Descendants (1 and 2 AND 3) : Photo Disney Channel
I know… I know… FULL STOP.
You noticed that Hocus Pocus, the hands-down favorite of the Disney Channel Halloween Movies is not on the list.
Why? Why on earth would I leave that one off?!
(whispers…) because I haven’t seen Hocus Pocus yet… don’t take my Dis-nerd card away, please!
All I can say, in my defense, is that I was a poor college freshman when this movie came out and didn’t have cable.
And I just haven’t made a point to sit and watch it since then!
We’re making sure to get this one in this year as it’s also the 26th anniversary of Hocus Pocus.
I need to see what all the amuck is about, right? RIGHT!
If you need more Disney Halloween movies then the Disney Channel Halloween Movies have to offer, don’t worry! I’ve got that covered on this next set of kid-friendly Halloween movie lists.
