Fear is here: Everything coming to Hulu & Disney+ this Halloween season

As someone who’s spent countless hours binge-watching Disney+ shows and living vicariously through the lives of animated characters, I am absolutely thrilled about this upcoming October lineup!


Even though Halloween falls at the end of October, it seems like people no longer wait till then to begin the festivities. Instead, it’s more enjoyable when we can celebrate the spooky season in full! This year, Disney+ and Hulu make an excellent pair for delivering chills and thrills. There are plenty of family-friendly options as well as genuinely petrifying content available on both platforms.

This Halloween season, there’s a plethora of thrilling debuts to look forward to! The FX series titled “Grotesquerie” makes its premiere, along with new episodes from “American Horror Stories“. Movies such as “Mr. Crocket“, “Carved“, and “Hold Your Breath” are also joining the lineup. On the other hand, Disney+ subscribers can enjoy spending time with Agatha Harkness and her coven in “Agatha All Along“, catch up on “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place“, and watch Halloween episodes of fan-loved shows like “The Simpsons“, “Solar Opposites“, and “Family Guy“.

If you’re unsure about what to watch, Disney+ is introducing a special event called Hallowstream, where you can enjoy a non-stop stream of Halloween-themed content whenever you want. This spooktacular lineup will be available later this autumn. Here’s a rundown of all the thrilling titles to watch on Hulu and Disney+ this month and next for your Halloween viewing pleasure!

*All titles listed below will stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for Bundle subscribers unless otherwise noted (some titles are specific to Disney+).
