Updated October 31, 2026. US information; schedules and availability may change.
If you want a low-effort Halloween movie night, Freeform has already lined up the Sanderson sisters. Its published October 31 schedule puts Hocus Pocus at 7:20 p.m. and Hocus Pocus 2 at 9:30 p.m. on the Eastern and Pacific feeds. The schedule is subject to change, so check your local TV guide before planning snacks around it.
The October 31 lineup
Freeform lists Casper (1995) at 8:30 a.m., The Haunted Mansion (2003) at 11 a.m., Hocus Pocus at 1 p.m., The Nightmare Before Christmas at 3:10 p.m., Casper again at 4:50 p.m., Hocus Pocus at 7:20 p.m., and Hocus Pocus 2 at 9:30 p.m. The published listing labels times EDT/PDT; Central and Mountain viewers should use their own guide.
Where to stream instead
Disney’s schedule identifies Hocus Pocus, Hocus Pocus 2, The Haunted Mansion, and The Nightmare Before Christmas as available on Disney+. Casper is identified on Hulu, with eligibility conditions for Hulu content inside Disney+. A live Freeform feed is a different product from an on-demand Disney+ movie.
A two-movie plan
Start with the 7:20 p.m. airing of Hocus Pocus, then stay for Hocus Pocus 2 at 9:30 p.m. If you are joining late or live outside a listed feed, open the appropriate on-demand app and search the exact title. Availability, subscriptions, and TV schedules can change.
What if you have kids watching?
The original movie is a lighter family choice than many Halloween horror picks, but comfort levels vary. If younger viewers are sensitive to witches or jump scares, preview a trailer and choose a familiar film first.
Quick answer
According to Freeform’s October 31 listing, Hocus Pocus airs at 7:20 p.m. and Hocus Pocus 2 at 9:30 p.m. on its EDT/PDT schedule. Verify the local guide and the streaming subscription you actually have.
