Disney+ came out with a new Groupwatch feature just in time for Halloween. Now you can watch your favorite Disney halloween movies with your friends while social distancing.
The app which debuted on Sept. 30 allows you to invite friends simply by texting a link and lets you display emojis on the screen during the movie.
Here are eight Halloween films you can watch on the platform.
Hocus Pocus
This 1993 Halloween classic follows the Sanderson sisters after a skeptical prankster conjured them on Halloween after a 300-year hiatus. Now they are facing challenges of three children, early 90s technology, and a talking cat. Starring Bette Middler, and Sarah Jessica Parker, this is a must-watch during the month of October.
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
This early 90s Tim Burton must-watch about Pumpkin King Jack Skellington who yearns to find a new routine after constantly focusing on Halloween. He decides to dedicate the next year to Christmas creating chaos for the people of Halloweentown and Christmasland. Though there is a debate on whether this is a Halloween or a Christmas movie, you could play it safe and just watch it both holidays.
3. Halloweentown
This movie was one of the best Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOM) to watch in the late 90s and early 2000s. Featuring the late Debbie Reynolds, as Aggie Cromwell fighting “the bad thing” with her grandchildren. If you enjoy this movie, there are also three sequels to dedicate a whole movie night to.
4. Twitches
This Disney Channel Original Movie starring Tia and Tamera Mowry, about twins Alex and Camryn separated at birth reuniting on their 21st birthday. They try to live their lives and learn about their powers and battle the Darkness together. This is a lesser-known but great movie to add to your Halloween watchlist. If you enjoy this movie, you’ll definitely enjoy the sequel.
5. Frankenweenie
Whether you enjoy the 26 minutes 1984 version with Shelly Duvall or the 2012 full movie this should definitely be on your Disney+ watchlist for October. This movie follows Sparky and his new journey as Frankenweenie. The Disney version presents a more comedic approach to the 1984 film. This movie takes dogs are man’s best friends to a new level after a young boy loses his dog, and his science teacher believes the dog can be resurrected.
6. Haunted Mansion
Loosely based on the ride at Disneyland, this comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Tilly takes a different approach and presents a set of challenges for Murphy’s character and his family to escape the Gracey Manor with the help of Madame Leota. This movie is very cheesy, but it’s still a great movie to add to your Halloween watchlist for family and friends.
7. Don’t Look Under The Bed
This 1999 Disney Channel Original Movie about a skeptical teenage girl who doesn’t believe in the supernatural, gets the blame for a series of pranks in her neighborhood. She questions her skepticism when she realizes that the boogeyman is the culprit of the pranks. This movie was taken off of Disney Channel because parents believed the movie was too dark for their young children. This is definitely a movie for a Halloween movie night!
8. Girl VS. Monster
After discovering her parents are monster hunters due to a power outage, Skyler accidentally releases an immortal monster who feeds on fear from her chamber on Halloween. Skyler and her friends must face their fears to recapture the monsters and save Skyler’s parents.
