It looks like Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy have Freeform to thank for the giant royalty checks they're going to get after Halloween, because Freeform (formally ABC Family) unveiled its "31 Nights of Halloween" schedule and its playing the classic Halloween movie "Hocus Pocus" 28 times.
Even though summer technically hasn't ended, that didn't stop Freeform from reminding us that fall is on its way with the "31 Nights of Halloween" schedule.Â

All of your favorite Halloween movies will be played during the month of October on Freeform, such as "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "The Addams Family" and all three "Scream" movies.Â
The Halloween movie marathon will conclude on Oct. 31 with an all-day marathon of "Hocus Pocus," which is arguably the best Halloween movie ever made.Â
Freeform has exclusive broadcast rights to "Hocus Pocus," so it's no surprise they're making the most of it. You may think that playing the movie all day long on Halloween is excessive, but if "A Christmas Story" gets to play all day on Christmas, "Hocus Pocus" deserves the spotlight on Halloween.Â
You can see the full schedule for the "31 Nights of Halloween" below.Â
