Certain plebeians — perhaps those unfamiliar with the concept of time inversion — will tell you that Halloween is "on October 31st". To those I say, "Boo!" And then, as they run away scared out of their shorts, I say, "Halloween is whenever you want it to be!" I'm thankful Disney+ backs up my strong stance, because they just released a group of spooky movies, episodes, and specials to get your Halloween celebrations started as early as you want them to.
There's lots of gems in this new Halloween-themed collection of content to cuddle up and enjoy your PSL's to. Of particular note? The stone-cold classic The Nightmare Before Christmas, the horror-comedy trio hall-of-famer Hocus Pocus, the "absolutely traumatized me as a child" The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Tim Burton's underrated Frankenweenie (both versions!), and the entire dang Halloweentown saga. These movies are a lovely kind of "spooky," giving you all the vibes and atmosphere you'd want, while not genuinely "scaring" you out of a good night's sleep. Unless you watch The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. Then I have no hope for you.
