WATCH: How to safely celebrate Halloween
Halloween is fast approaching, which means it's almost time to curl up on the couch, mummify yourself up in a blanket, unwrap a king-sized candy bar and prepare for Freeform's annual "31 Nights of Halloween."
This year's lineup of spine-chilling programming was released Wednesday, and it's packed with classics, fan favorites and some new treats.
Joining the roster this year will be the premiere of "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil," "Fright Night" (the remake, not the original), "Men in Black II," three "Jaws" installments and many others.
However, it's not "31 Nights of Halloween" without the staples, with "Casper" kicking off the fright fest. Other must-haves that will keep viewers up at night will be "Hocus Pocus," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "The Craft," "Halloweentown" and "The Addams Family."

The Sanderson Sisters are 17th century witches who were conjured up by unsuspecting pranksters in present-day Salem, in the movie, "Hocus Pocus." The key to their immortality involves three children and a talking cat, who also turn out to be their biggest obstacles.
Multiple movies and Halloween-centric episodes from "Family Guy," "The Simpsons" and more will play every day until Halloween, with the iconic "Ghostbusters" being the big, hair-raising finale.
