5.8K

For those of you who still HAVE Disney Plus … abeg, you can stop crying into your pumpkin spice latte right now, babes, because if one of your favorite Disney Plus Halloween movies is The Nightmare Before Christmas, it didn’t make the list.

Along with a few others, of course! (Like: Girl Vs Monster, Frankenweenie, and Mom’s Got A Date With A Vampire.) Shocking? Probably not. Controversial? A tiny bit, I’m sure.

But, I’ve seen them, endured them, and honestly… they’re just not as fun as everyone claims.

That said, there are 9 other Halloween movies on Disney Plus that I would actually watch again and again! And these are funny, spooky, and just chaotic enough to make my spooky season feel complete. So yeah … some of YOUR faves didn’t make this list, but all of mine did! Sorry, not sorry!

Just so you know, I’m ranking these from least rewatchable to most rewatchable, because let’s be honest: not all movies are created equal, no matter how much I may love them.

The 9 Best Halloween Movies on Disney Plus, Ranked for 2025

9. Don’t Look Under the Bed (1999)

This Disney Channel classic is creepy enough to feel like a Halloween film, yet it’s still fun and playful. Of course, I LOVE the clever mix of suspense and humor, but that late-’90s DCOM charm is what makes this nostalgic every October.

Plus, the monster-under-the-bed concept is memorable and is just the right amount of eerie for a family-friendly film.

• Younger kids and teens looking for a good laugh
• Families who want a spooky-but-fun movie
