As the season of chills and thrills fills the air, there’s no better way to celebrate than by diving into Disney’s lineup of spooky (but totally fun) movies. Although Halloween may be over, let’s make it a tradition to enjoy the perfect mix of magic and fright that only Disney can deliver.
Monstober represents that special time in October when spooky, slightly cringe Halloween movies take over — when friends come together to relive old times, laugh at silly moments, and embrace the nostalgia that only Disney Channel can bring.
These timeless favorites bring something for everyone to enjoy. These films capture the spirit of Halloween without being too scary, making them ideal for both kids and nostalgic adults.
Every Disney fan should start with Halloweentown, of course, because it captures the true essence of Monstober on Disney through nostalgia and the sense of peace that comes with it (but hey, that’s just our recommendation).
You may be wondering what else to add to your Halloween marathon — here’s our full list of recommendations to keep the spirit going:
- The Harry Potter Franchise
- Hotel Transylvania
- Coraline
- Ghostbusters
- Coco
- The Haunted Mansion
- Frankenweenie
- Twitches & Twitches Too
- Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire
- Don’t Look Under the Bed

Whether you’re decorating pumpkins, sipping hot cocoa, or planning a costume party, a movie marathon sets the perfect cozy mood for the best season there is. It’s a chance to relive childhood favorites and introduce younger audiences to the spooky charm of Disney magic.
The Monstober mentality isn’t just for October, it’s for whenever you want to feel a little spooky, a little nostalgic, and a lot of Disney magic. Even if you missed the “31 Days of Halloween,” these timeless movies are always waiting for you.
So grab a blanket, dim the lights, and let the enchantment begin! Halloween may only last one night, but with Disney’s scary movies, the fun lasts all of fall. These films embody the cozy essence of the season: the smell of cinnamon candles, the warmth of hot chocolate, and the comfort of those fuzzy footie socks your grandma got you last Christmas.
