31 Halloween Nights

From USA Today:
"Freeform's 31 Nights of Halloween is here and it includes a 'Hocus Pocus' marathon"

Halloween's here – even if it's still September.  Huge bags of candy are back in stores. Pop-up costume shops are open for business. But the real reason we KNOW it's here is that Freeform's 31 Night's of Halloween schedule has arrived. Wait a minute, wasn't it the "13 Nights of Halloween?" True. The 13 nights began in the days leading up to Halloween, but as anyone knows the Halloween movie showing started on Freeform well in advance of that. So the channel got real about its name with movies beginning Oct. 1.  Expect seasonal favorites like "Hocus Pocus," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," and "The Addams Family."  There's also a mix of Disney movies including, "Monsters University," "Frozen," "Mulan" and "Toy Story of Terror!"  The spooktacular finale is a "Hocus Pocus" marathon, where the movie will be aired seven times on Oct. 31. Ready? Set your DVRs for the 2018 line-up. All times are Eastern. Check your local listings.

^ It's a little annoying to have the same handful of movies show over and over again for a month. I'm sure they could find more Halloween-related films so they didn't have to repeat so many so often. It is surprising that "Hocus Pocus" is 25 years old this year. ^
