Complete movies on TV for Halloween schedule for 2026
We merged every movie airing on AMC and Freeform with the Halloween-worthy movies arriving on Disney+ and Hulu into one chronological lineup. Slasher marathons, Stephen King adaptations, Addams Family reunions, and “Ghostbusters” double features all share the calendar, so there’s something for every scare tolerance.

In this article
YouTube TV carries both AMC and Freeform, so FearFest and 31 Nights of Halloween live under one login.
Hulu + Live TV includes Freeform plus the Hulu and Disney+ libraries, covering most of this guide. It doesn’t carry AMC, though, so FearFest fans will need another option.
Sling Orange includes AMC and Freeform, making it a pared-down way to catch both marathons live.
Movies on TV for Halloween schedule FAQ
What channels play Halloween movies all October?
AMC and Freeform are the big two. AMC FearFest leans into slashers and Stephen King adaptations, while Freeform's 31 Nights of Halloween sticks mostly to family-friendly favorites.
How can I watch Halloween movies on TV without cable?
Live TV streaming services like YouTube TV and Sling TV carry both AMC and Freeform. Hulu + Live TV adds Freeform but skips AMC, so check channel lineups before you subscribe.
Where can I stream horror movies year-round?
Shudder is a streaming service built entirely around horror, with classics, cult favorites, and originals. It's also included with AMC+, making it a natural next stop once FearFest wraps.
