Last Monday, I had the chance to attend Freeform’s Halloween House in celebration of their 31 Nights of Halloween. The event, which was located at the historic Lombardi House in Hollywood, California from October 4-9th, was a free pop-up experience that allowed guests the chance to immerse themselves in the world of Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas, as both films were celebrating their 25th Anniversary this year.

Though not a haunted attraction, fans got to take one-of-a-kind photo opps on top of the Spiral Hill seen in The Nightmare Before Christmas, conjure up a potion at the Sanderson Sister’s cottage, and test their luck in Oogie Boogie’s Lair. Being 10 years old when both films came out, I was at an impressionable age which allowed each film to leave a lasting impression on me; so much so, that I consider both to have been a gateway for me to step into the horror genre. Which is a reason why Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween is so phenomenal because it’s the perfect combination of films that feature the spooky and scary mixed in with humor and fun.

The following is the schedule for their 31 Nights of Halloween as well as some photos taken from the event. With the spookiest holiday just around the corner, this is the perfect change to gather up your family and tune in to some of the most ghoulishly entertaining films to help you get into the frightful spirit!
