I have to be honest. Whenever Halloween time rolls around each year, I get nervous. I’m the type of person who scares really, really easily, so Halloween time is a struggle for me. From the scary decorations in stores to trailers for new horror movies popping up in YouTube or Snapchat ads, there are so many opportunities for me to be scared. I know some people enjoy the feeling of getting scared, but that’s definitely not me. So, during Halloween time, I have to find things that are in the spirit of Halloween but not scary. Disney Channel Halloween specials are the best way to get the Halloween feel without the scares! These are my top 7 favorite Disney Channel Halloween specials:
- The Suite Life of Zack and Cody: “The Ghost in Suite 613”
Season 1, Episode 19
I remember this episode scaring me when I was younger. This has to be one of the scariest Disney Channel episodes. Zack was trying to scare his brother Cody when Muriel, a maid at the Tipton hotel, tells them about the legend of the ghost that haunts suite 613. Zack and Cody, along with some of the employees of the Tipton, make a bet to see who could last in the suite the longest. In the suite, they try to call upon the spirit, which leads to a possession.
