Disney+ has quietly become one of the best destinations for Halloween viewing, offering everything from cheesy classics to creepy comedies to family-friendly frights. Whether you’re looking for nostalgia or something newer, a perfect pick awaits you.
Here’s a look at the 20 best Halloween movies you can watch on Disney+ in 2025, neatly grouped into categories to build your perfect watchlist this season.
Classic Halloween Staples
1. Hocus Pocus
You can’t talk about Disney Halloween without mentioning Hocus Pocus. The Sanderson Sisters return from the grave and wreak havoc in Salem after being resurrected by a curious teenager. With its blend of camp, humor, and just the right amount of spookiness, this one’s a must-watch every October.
2. Hocus Pocus 2
Nearly 30 years later, Disney revived the magic with Hocus Pocus 2. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy return to play the witchy trio, and while it’s filled with modern updates and younger characters, it still captures the fun that fans love.
3. The Nightmare Before Christmas
Is it a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? The debate will never end, but Jack Skellington’s journey from Halloween Town to Christmas Town makes this Tim Burton stop-motion masterpiece a seasonal essential for both holidays.
The Halloweentown Saga
4. Halloweentown
Disney Channel Original Movies defined Halloween for many fans, and Halloweentown leads the pack. Following Marnie Piper as she learns she comes from a family of witches, this film is pure Disney nostalgia.
5. Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge
The sequel builds on the original by bringing Kalabar’s son back to take revenge on Halloweentown. Darker but still family-friendly, it’s often considered the best of the series.
6. Halloweentown High
This installment brings the magical creatures into the human world, with Marnie trying to integrate her friends into her high school. It’s lighter, funnier, and carries the same heart as the earlier films.
7. Return to Halloweentown
The final film shifts focus to Marnie attending Witch University. While the recasting of Marnie upset fans, the story still offers whimsical Halloween vibes worth revisiting.
Enchanting Disney Channel Originals
8. Twitches
Twin witches, separated at birth, reunite on their 21st birthday to save their kingdom from evil. Tia and Tamera Mowry bring charm, sisterly banter, and plenty of magic in this Disney Channel favorite.
9. Twitches Too
The sequel leans into the twins’ growth as they embrace their powers. While a little cheesier than the original, it’s still a fun double feature for a Halloween marathon.
10. Girl vs. Monster
This one’s for the younger crowd, but it’s filled with Halloween energy. The story follows Skylar, a fearless teenager who accidentally unleashes a monster. It mixes comedy, music, and mild scares in that signature Disney Channel way.
Haunted Houses and Spooky Mansions
11. Muppets Haunted Mansion
A delightful crossover, this special takes the Muppets into Disney’s iconic Haunted Mansion ride. With appearances from Gonzo, Pepe, and a slew of ghostly cameos, it’s both hilarious and nostalgic.
12. The Haunted Mansion
Eddie Murphy stars in this early 2000s take on the theme park ride. Though campy, it has its charm, mixing slapstick humor with creepy visuals that keep it a Halloween staple.
13. Haunted Mansion
A modern reimagining of the ride, this film boasts a star-studded cast including Owen Wilson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Danny DeVito. It balances family scares and heartfelt storytelling, making it a fresh choice for Halloween night.
Quirky and Creepy Creature Features
14. Frankenweenie
Tim Burton’s stop-motion tale of a boy who brings his dog back to life is emotional and spooky. Its black-and-white visuals and quirky characters make it perfect for fans of classic monster movies.
15. Don’t Look Under the Bed
One of the scariest Disney Channel Original Movies, this story about a girl teaming up with her imaginary friend to battle the Boogeyman has earned a cult following. Even now, it can give kids (and some adults) goosebumps.
16. Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire
This is a lighter Disney Channel flick that follows kids who discover their mom is dating a vampire. It’s silly, campy, and exactly the kind of fun that defined Disney’s early 2000s Halloween lineup.
Remakes and Modern Additions
17. Under Wraps
With this remake, Disney reimagined its first-ever Disney Channel Original Movie, updating the story of kids who discover a mummy in their neighborhood.
18. Under Wraps 2
The sequel continues the mummy’s adventures, adding fresh twists and modern humor. While geared toward younger audiences, it makes for easy Halloween viewing.
19. Spooky Buddies
Talking puppies dressed in costumes facing supernatural challenges? It’s as silly as it sounds, but kids love it. For families with younger children, it’s an easy Halloween go-to.
20. Zombies
This Disney Channel musical flips the monster tale into something colorful and fun. When zombies are integrated into a human high school, sparks fly in conflict and unexpected friendships. With big dance numbers, catchy songs, and a message about embracing differences, it’s a lively pick for Halloween that’s more sweet than scary.
Animated Shorts and New Series
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
Specifically, the Legend of Sleepy Hollow segment features the Headless Horseman. This short is a Disney classic that brings Washington Irving’s tale to life with a surprisingly creepy animated twist.
Lonesome Ghosts
