It's the dog days of summer, and Freeform is gearing up for the spookiest month of the year. On Thursday, the network unveiled the lineup for its annual 31 Nights of Halloween programming, which will kick off on Oct. 1 with a few nostalgic scares.

This year's round of haunted films will include the classics The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Addams Family, and a bewitching 27 airings of Hocus Pocus, which will air all day on Halloween. In addition, several new films are making their way into the mix, including Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2, and the first three Scream films.

Following on the success of last year's Hocus Pocus 25th Anniversary Halloween Bash, this year's lineup will also include a new original special, 31 Nights of Halloween Fan Fest. Set to be taped at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, California on Sept. 12, the special is described as a "celebration of Halloween's biggest pop culture moments" that will "honor the icons of the season as we celebrate the most beloved movies, television shows and musical artists who have become synonymous with Halloween."
