Time for a 'Scream': Freeform releases its '31 Days of Halloween' full schedule

TV Halloween
Halloween movie schedule Hocus Pocus Hocus Pocus/Disney

Freeform has released its "31 Days of Halloween" schedule which include 27 airings of the Disney film starring Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker, "Hocus Pocus," as well as classics, "Scream," and "Ghostbusters."

Freeform has released the "31 Days of Halloween" schedule, and it features a plethora of spooky, horror favorites to watch all throughout the month of October.

This year the Disney-owned network is bringing in some slasher classics, including all three original "Scream" films, and even a few that have been missing in previous years, including "Edward Scissorhands" and both "Ghostbusters" films. To say we're excited is a little bit of understatement.

This year "Hocus Pocus" lovers will be able to watch the movie so many times they could grow to hate it come Nov. 1. The network is airing the movie starring Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker a record 27 times for the month of October. The movie will play five times on Halloween, alone. 

There still seems to be a few classics missing, like "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "The Craft," or "Sleepy Hollow," but more than likely those films will just air on other networks. 

Though, it's a little heartbreaking that "Teen Witch" is, yet again, missing from the lineup — what am I supposed to do this Halloween? Not watch the 1980s classic starring Robin Lively and a very magical rap battle? Sigh.
