This Disney Channel classic can put anyone in the Halloween spirit. Halloweentown follows Marnie Piper and her two siblings, as they discover that their grandmother and mother are secretly witches. After learning their family secret, Marnie and her siblings follow their grandmother home to Halloweentown, where they plan on having her train them to be witches.

When Jim and his family arrive at the mansion, they quickly learn that the place is haunted. Jim then embarks on the difficult task of helping the mansion's servants break the curse.

In addition to being a great Halloweentime film for the whole family, The Haunted Mansion is also a fun movie to watch since the art team hid five Mickey Mouse designs in the background of the film.

Hocus Pocus is arguablyone of the Walt Disney Company's best and most beloved Halloween-time films. The film stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimu as the Sanderson Sisters, three witches who are accidentally resurrected on Halloween night and begin to wreak havoc on the town of Salem, Massachusetts.
