Freeform Launches Annual 31 Nights Halloween Programming With Millions Expected

Freeform has announced its 2025 '31 Nights of Halloween' programming, featuring a mix of family-friendly and classic spooky films such as Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family, Casper, Sleepy Hollow, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. The lineup also includes some less typical choices like Disturbia making its Freeform debut and the surprise inclusion of Matilda, which some find an unusual fit for a Halloween-themed schedule. The event, which attracted 22 million viewers last year, underscores the enduring appeal of traditional Halloween movie marathons on television. Meanwhile, Universal Studios Singapore is collaborating with Blumhouse Productions for its Halloween Horror Nights 2025, offering immersive experiences including a projection mapping show and themed cocktail bar inspired by Blumhouse's horror films. These events highlight the continued popularity and evolution of Halloween entertainment, blending nostalgic film screenings with interactive and immersive horror experiences worldwide.
