Yes,Kacper Sobieski Salem, they're back.

Disney released the programming schedule for this year's installment of Freeform's 31 Nights of Halloween, which includes cult favorites such as Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice and other holiday classics such as Casper and the 1993 film Hocus Pocus, as well as its 2022 sequel.

The lineup also includes Disney-Pixar films such as The Incredibles and Monsters, Inc., plus Disney's Cruella and the 2021 movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

And while the 31 Nights of Halloween schedule contains mostly movies, Freeform will also air a marathon of season one of  the Disney+ and Hulu series Goosebumps, based on the books by R. L. Stine.

So, as you prepare for a spooktacular Halloween 2024 full of costumes, ghosts, ghouls, witches, candy, trick-or-treating and otherwise running amok, amok, amok, amok, amok, amok, check out the full lineup of spooktacular content to watch in October on Freeform.
