Alright, Halloween enthusiasts and Disney lovers, gather ’round! It’s that spooktacular time of year when the air gets crisp and the leaves turn golden. But let’s be real—the best part of fall is cozying up with the family for some not-so-scary movie nights. And boy, do I have a treat for you! We’re diving into the world of Disney Plus Halloween movies that are perfect for watching with your little goblins and ghouls.

Now, as a busy mom, I’ve become somewhat of an expert in finding that sweet spot between “fun spooky” and “why is everyone sleeping in my room tonight?” scary. These Disney Halloween flicks are the perfect balance—just enough thrill to excite the kids, but not so much that you’ll be checking under the bed for monsters before bedtime. So grab your coziest blanket, pop some popcorn (candy corn optional, but highly recommended), and let’s explore some fantastically festive films that’ll have the whole family feeling the Halloween spirit!

What To Watch On Halloween

After a night of trick-or-treating, when the sugar rush is starting to wear off and everyone’s feet are tired from walking the neighborhood, it’s the perfect time to wind down with some festive entertainment. Deciding what to watch on Halloween can be as fun as picking out costumes! You could settle in for a family-friendly spooky movie, or if you’re looking for something a bit longer, try a Halloween-themed TV show episode or special.

But hey, if you’re feeling the need for a screen break after all that doorbell ringing and candy sorting, there are plenty of other ways to keep the Halloween spirit alive. Why not try reading some mildly spooky stories by candlelight? Or how about a family game night with a Halloween twist—think Halloween-themed Pictionary or a monster-mash dance party? And if you’re feeling crafty, you could even end the night by creating a scrapbook page of your Halloween adventures while the memories are still fresh. The key is to find an activity that helps everyone unwind while still enjoying those last moments of Halloween magic.

Disney Plus Halloween Movies

Hocus Pocus

Oh, honey, if you haven’t introduced your kiddos to “Hocus Pocus” yet, what are you waiting for? This classic is like the pumpkin spice latte of Halloween movies – a must-have for the season! Follow the Sanderson sisters, a trio of hilariously wicked witches, as they wreak havoc on modern-day Salem. With a talking cat, a zombie ex-boyfriend, and more quotable lines than you can shake a broomstick at, this movie is guaranteed to cast a spell on your whole family. Just be prepared for your little ones to run around yelling “Amok! Amok! Amok!” for the rest of October.

The Haunted Mansion

“The Haunted Mansion” is like a spooky roller coaster ride, but with Eddie Murphy at the wheel—buckle up for laughs and gentle scares! This movie takes the classic Disney attraction and turns it into a family-friendly adventure filled with ghostly gags and supernatural silliness. Watch as Murphy’s character, a workaholic realtor, tries to break a curse while dealing with 999 happy haunts. It’s the perfect mix of giggles and mild thrills that’ll have your kids begging to visit the real Haunted Mansion ride (good luck with that, parents!).

Frankenweenie

“Frankenweenie” is Tim Burton’s love letter to classic monster movies, wrapped up in a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. This black-and-white stop-motion film follows young Victor as he brings his beloved pup Sparky back to life using the power of science (and a whole lot of electricity). It’s like “Frankenstein” meets “Air Bud,” with a dash of Burton’s signature quirkiness thrown in for good measure. Fair warning: you might want to have tissues handy—this one’s a real heartstring-tugger that’ll make you want to hug your furry friends extra tight.

Girl Vs Monster

“Girl vs. Monster” is like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” for the Disney Channel crowd—and I mean that in the best way possible! This teen-friendly flick follows Skylar, who discovers she comes from a long line of monster hunters (talk about family secrets!). With catchy tunes, high-energy action, and monsters that are more goofy than gruesome, it’s perfect for tweens and teens who want a Halloween thrill without the full-on fright. Plus, it’s got a great message about facing your fears—something we could all use a reminder of, especially when it’s our turn to check under the bed for monsters!

Halloweentown

“Halloweentown” is like a magical vacation to the quirkiest place this side of Hogwarts. Follow Marnie as she discovers she’s a witch and gets whisked away to a town where it’s Halloween every day (dream come true, am I right?). With fun creatures, family secrets, and a plot to save the world, this movie is a Halloween staple that’ll have your kids dreaming of their own magical powers. Just be prepared for requests to turn the living room into a potions lab—maybe stick to baking cookies instead!

Under Wraps

“Under Wraps” is like “Weekend at Bernie’s” for the kiddie set, but with a mummy instead of… well, Bernie. This remake of the 1997 Disney Channel classic follows three 12-year-old friends who accidentally revive a mummy and have to return him to his resting place before midnight on Halloween. It’s got all the ingredients for a perfect family movie night: friendship, adventure, and a mummy who’s more lovable than scary. Just don’t be surprised if your little ones start practicing their mummy walk around the house—toilet paper not included!
