Today I’m excited to share with you a list of all the great Halloween movies on Disney+!
October is the perfect month to watch Halloween movies! Now that it’s fall there’s no shortage of Halloween Movies on Disney+. You’ve got fan favorites like Hocus Pocus. Older but still spooky films like The Ghosts of Buxley Hall. And fun, barely scary Pixar and Mickey shorts.
Maybe you decide to have a Halloween movie binge-watching weekend. Maybe you want to spread your viewing out through the month of October. Either way, Disney+ has you covered. And so do I! I’ve created this list of Halloween related movies on Disney+. Some are outright Halloween, some just spooky or involve fantastical creatures. There are a few Halloween-themed comedies as well!
Note: There are even more options now that Disney owns Hulu. For the most part I’ve left Hulu content off of this list. My goal was to focus on movies that Disney made or was involved in distributing. If you’re looking for scarier options than what’s here, Huluween is probably a good bet!

Halloween Movies on Disney+
There are so many great Halloween-themed movies on Disney+ that I’ve decided to break this list into categories. So if you want classics, Mickey & Friends, Marvel, or something else, there is really something for everyone.
There are a number of great TV shows too. I tried to keep this list mostly focused on movies and shorts. But I do mention a few TV shows that really fit the Halloween vibe!
Halloween Classics
Hocus Pocus
1993, 1 hour and 27 minutes
A fan favorite. I would probably rank this as one of the most popular Disney Halloween movies. It has achieved cult classic status.
The Nightmare Before Christmas

One of the great Disney Halloween movies. This work by Tim Burton is spooky and features a fantastic soundtrack.
Ichabod & Mr. Toad
1949, 1 hour and 10 minutes
A classic. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is an iconic story for Halloween. Mr. Toad may not have the Halloween vibe, but it’s still a fun watch!
Frankenweenie

Based on a short from 1984. This full-length movie by Tim Burton has a more comedic twist.

Which of these Halloween Movies on Disney+ have you watched?
Wow! I didn’t realize there so many of these. I will have to watch “The Cat from Outer Space.” And I did love “Coco.” I wouldn’t mind watching that again.
I think you will LOVE The Cat from Outerspace!
Can you believe I’ve NEVER seen *any* Halloween movie?! Halloween just isn’t big over here in Australia, and I’ve honestly never cared about it until this year, when I’ve all of a sudden started to really appreciate how much you guys love it! After such a rough year, I love seeing the other side of the world fall in love with fall and Halloween just as much as you always do, it’s really heartwarming! It’s nice to see you all still enjoying the little things. I know I need to watch some Halloween movies, too. Hocus Pocus would definitely be the first one as I’ve heard SO MUCH about that one!
Yeah, I didn’t realize Halloween wasn’t a big deal everywhere else until I studied abroad in the UK – and they did celebrate it but nothing like we do here. It is nice to have something to look forward to and be excited about in the fall, especially this year!
There are so many of these that I haven’t seen! I love the Halloweentown movies (specifically the original) and the Twitches movies! I’ll have to start watching some of the others to get super festive about spooky season (without totally scaring myself – because I don’t like being scared)!
All those Halloweentown movies! I grew up watching that series, so it’s fun that I can rewatch on Disney+ this month. Of course Hocus Pocus is the true Halloween classic, but there are also a ton here that I’ve never seen or even heard of (especially some of those ones from the 80s). I also did not realize Frankenweenie was a remake. I have a lot of D+ watching to do, for sure!
Unfortunately Disney+ is not available here, but most of these are either on Netflix or HBO GO, so it looks like I have a full month ahead.
