After last year’s highly successful “Hocus Pocus 25^th Anniversary Halloween Bash,” Freeform will continue the party this year with a new original special, “31 Nights of Halloween Fan Fest.” Taping on Sept. 12^th at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, California, the celebration of Halloween’s biggest pop culture moments 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. More details about the special will be announced at a later date.

The network has also added more chills and thrills with new movies to the line-up. Marking its 35^th anniversary, the classic hit “Ghostbusters” and its sequel “Ghostbusters 2,” as well as the first three “Scream” films, will be airing throughout the stunt, joining other 31 Nights of Halloween staples including “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “The Addams Family.”

And not to be forgotten, Freeform is THE home for the iconic Halloween feature film “Hocus Pocus,” airing throughout the stunt and a back-to-back-to-back marathon on Oct. 31.
