RELATED STORIES
Let’s kick things off with some brand new content that’s set to premiere this fall.
On September 30th, Under Wraps 2 be will available for your streaming pleasure. In this highly anticipated sequel, an evil mummy has been released and is out for revenge!
Also arriving on September 30th is the Sing-A-Long version of Tim Burton’s immortal classic — ‘A Nightmare Before Christmas’
The best thing about The Nightmare Before Christmas is that it’s suitable to watch during the Halloween and Christmas seasons. How many other films can make that claim?
Finally, the month concludes with the debut of ‘Hocus Pocus 2’!
Fright fans of the ’90s have a lot to be excited about. It’s been nearly 30 years since we last saw the Sanderson Sisters and heaven (or hell) only knows what they’ve been up to.
Kicking off the month of October, MCU fans are in-store for a real treat.
Don’t worry, I’m not talking about Morbius . Rather, on October 14th, Marvel is set to unveil their bloodiest and most terrifying film to date — Werewolf By Night .
Then, on October 14th, yet another Disney Sing-A-Long film will be available to stream.
Into The Woods is the latest film in the Disney canon to receive the Sing-A-Long treatment. If it’s anything like its predecessors, then this promises to be a fun film that the whole family can enjoy.
Lastly, if trick-r-treating doesn’t keep you preoccupied, enjoy a Halloween night-in watching ‘Dancing With The Stars: Halloween Night’.
I personally can’t imagine anything more terrifying than spending my Halloween watching Dancing With the Stars . Albeit, for entirely different reasons than most.
If you fancy yourself a creature of habit, you’ll be pleased to know that a collection of “Frightful Faves” will soon be at your fingertips.
Zombies 3, LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales, Secrets of Sulphur Springs , and my personal favorite — The Simpsons’ “Treehouse of Horror.”
There’s also a tantalizing selection of “Shocking Shorts.”
Don’t forget that Halloween is all about the kids! They’re sure to enjoy watching The Headless Horseman chase Ichabod Crane in T he Legend of Sleepy Hollow , as well as Growing Fangs, Zombies: Addison’s Moonstone Mystery, and Toy Story of Terror!
Older kids in the home will most definitely enjoy burning through these “Eerie Episodes.”
There are a ton of Disney + streaming series with Halloween-themed episodes. These include shows like Kim Possible, Glee, grown-ish, as well as Marvel’s hit animated series What If…?
Next is for those parents looking to introduce their own children to some of the “Creepy Classics” from their youth.
You can hardly watch Hocus Pocus 2 without first re-watching the original. Halloweentown is also a great jumping off point, as is Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie.
But don’t make the mistake of thinking Disney + has nothing to offer adults.
Currently, I’m making my way through American Horror Story . It’s suspensul, shocking, and bloody brilliant so far. I’ve even dipped my toe into the revamped anthology series, American Horror Stories.
Disney + also features a heavy helping of nostalgia with series such as ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’.
I can still remember being too afraid to watch this as a kid growing up. I’m happy to report that it’s still as nightmare-inducing as it ever was.
Speaking of nostalgia, does everyone remember that one scream-filled Halloween episode of ‘Boy Meets World’?
The episode takes place shortly after Cory and Topanga have broken up. There’s a killer on the loos inside John Adams High, who seems hellbent on killing anyone and everyone who would dare to try and keep them apart.
Thanks to Disney’s recent acquisition of STAR, you can also watch the brand new ‘redator’ film — ‘Prey’.
I can practically hear the eyeballs rolling into the back of your head, but try to withhold judgment. Prey is a fantastic film and the only one in the franchise that can contend with the original.
In conclusion, no Halloween season would be complete without a viewing of ‘Edward Scissorhands’.
In this Tim Burton classic tale of tortured love , a man with scissors for hands winds up making a huge impact on a quaint suburban town and falls in love with the one woman whom he can never have.
