It’s the most spooky time of the year, and we’re already getting all the pumpkin decor out of the basement. We’re officially in the Halloween season, and we, for one, can’t wait to celebrate to the fullest. From the Halloween decoration deals to queueing up the movie nights, we love everything about the spooky, fun holiday.
So, as we prepare to enjoy the season, why not plan for a family movie night? We all remember when Disney Channel got their Halloween update as soon as October hit, and we’d be binging all the Halloweentown, Twitches, and every new film in between. Fast forward to 2024, and let’s face it, the only thing that’s changed is that we watch those movies more frequently since Disney+ became a thing.
For only $7.99 a month, you can watch everything Disney+ has to offer for the spooky season. To find out all the family-friendly Halloween flicks available, scroll below!
