Take a trip to the future—and the past—when FX airs X-Men: Days of Future Past Friday. Later that night, things get animated on Disney’s Magic Bake-Off when the creative minds behind Big City Greens evaluate three teams of two pastry chefs’ work on Disney Channel. Freeform’s “31 Nights of Halloween” is well underway, and this weekend’s “faboolous” lineup includes three of our favorites: Hocus Pocus, Maleficent, and Toy Story of TERROR!
