Freeform is brewing up yet another year of spine-chilling programming. The highly anticipated “31 Nights of Halloween” is back with a lineup of memorable Halloween films. From October 1-31, 2020, celebrate All Hallows’ Eve at home with haunting movies, including The Addams Family (1991), Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and Hotel Transylvania. New to this year’s lineup are Ghostbusters (2016), Hotel Transylvania 2, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and The Scorpion King.
The network will kick things off with “Freeform’s Halloween Road,” a socially distant drive-thru experience filled with tricks and treats for Halloween lovers in the Los Angeles area. For the third year in a row, Freeform is creating an immersive event that will take fans on a thrilling journey through some of the most nostalgic Halloween movies, including Hocus Pocus, Ghostbusters and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Freeform will fright and delight guests with themed surprises, interactive experiences, live entertainment, and exciting photo moments—all from the safety of their own vehicles! Guests can also look forward to additional themed environments from other “31 Nights of Halloween” movies.
The free, spook-tacular experience will take place at Heritage Square Museum in Los Angeles. It will be open to the public from Friday, October 2, through Sunday, October 4. Reservations are required to attend; subscribe here for reservations and other event details.
