when does the 13 days of halloween start on freeform
13 Nights of Halloween 13 Nights of Halloween (formerly known as 13 Days of Halloween) is a seasonal programming block on Freeform. It originally began airing in 1998, after the Family Channel became Fox Family, and was continued through the channel's change into ABC Family, and later, Freeform. The 13 Nights of Halloween block was created mainly due to the success of the channel's 25 Days of Christmas, which had started two years earlier. The special lasts from October 19 until Halloween night, covering the thirteen days before the holiday.[1] The latest event aired on Freeform on October 19, 2017, and has some films returning including Monsters, Inc.
