ABC Family's 13 Night of Halloween Schedule

Halloween is not my favorite holiday, but it has one of my favorite movie events of the year - ABC Family's 13 Nights of Halloween. The majority of the movies are not-so-scary, perfect for this frightful whimp. Below, I have organized the schedule by movie so that, for example, if you want to watch "Hocus Pocus" every time it's on, you can. Or if you miss one, you can catch it again at the next showing.

Enjoy! It all begins Oct. 19, and don't forget all the below times are in ET.

Halloween Weekend Movie Schedule

What are you going to do with a whole weekend of Halloween? Watch movies and eat candy of course! I'm not a huge horror and gore fan so here is a list of not-so-terrifying films that are sure to fill your weekend.

Friday, Oct. 31st- Halloween

Work til 5pm (ish)

6pm- Spoon your chilli into your favorite bowl (preferably one with a Halloween theme) and top with sour cream, cheese, and oyster crackers. Pair with an Angry Orchard Hard Cider.

6:10-8pm- "Hocus Pocus" (Bette Midler will start your night right with a song and with a bit of nostalgia)

8:20pm- Answer the door for those kids who are way too old to be trick-or-treating. Glare at them until you know they are too far away to egg your house.

8:25pm-10pm "Young Frankenstein" (Mel Brooks is a comic genius. After the movie go download the Broadway soundtrack. He makes musicals just as funny as movies.)

10:15pm- Do you hear that? What is that whimpering? It's your stomach. Cave into your "diet" and grab the candy bowl. Trick-or-treaters should be all done for the night, and those Clark Bars aren't going to eat themselves.

10:15-12pm- "The Witches" (You need a little bit of scary in this haunted night. Angelica Huston will do that for you.)

12:15pm- Realize there is no way you can sleep after that movie. The witches are coming to get me! How about we put in something a little tamer.

12:30-2am- "Hotel Transylvania" (So much better! An Adam Sandler movie that you don't want to throw against a wall.)

Saturday, Nov. 1- All Saints Day

10:30am- wake up sprawled out on the couch. Did I sleep here all night? Roll over. It's a Saturday there is no way I am getting up now.

11:45am- Jolt awake. Pour yourself a cup of hot cider. real clothes are an option today. Finish off the leftover chili.

12-2pm- "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (let's start out with an easy one. And we haven't had any aliens yet)

2-4pm- "Casper" (Who wouldn't want a ghost friend? Ghost boyfriend? Not so much.)

4-6pm- "Corpse Bride" (Tim Burton needs to be represented here in some way. "Nightmare" is also another option that would work here)

6:15pm- listen to your stomach growl for 10 minutes before dragging yourself off the coach to order pizza. Throw on a sweatshirt and jeans before the pizza guy comes. You don't want him to think you're a lazy bum who sits around all day...oh, wait...)

7:15pm- 9pm "Adams Family Values" (This one ends up being better than the original due to Joan Cusack as a husband-killing, jewelry loving psycho. As well, as the scene where Pugsly and Wednesday are punished by watching Disney movies)

9-11pm- "Rocky Horror Picture Show" (singing and dancing are optional though greatly encouraged)

11:15pm- Where did that candy bowl go?

11:30-1:30pm- "Practical Magic" (Sister Power!)

Sunday, Nov. 2

9:30am- Decide that the coach is not looking comfy anymore. Decide to take a shower, brush cavity-infested teeth, comb tangled knots of hair, and go out today. (bring a friend if you would like)

12pm- Grab some lunch at your local Mexican restaurant. They're still open right?

2pm-4pm "Book of Life" (this one is still in theaters, but totally worth the money you will spend. With intricate and beautiful animation, it's the perfect eye candy)

4:30pm- Invite your friend over, but tell them to wait in the hallway until you can throw all of your candy wrappers and dirty clothes under your bed. Maybe it is a good idea to see a living being this weekend.

5pm- Play the I-don't-know-what-do-you-want-to-eat game until you realize you haven't had Chinese yet.

6-8pm- Any of the HP movies ("I'm a what?" "You're a wizard, Harry.") Share the remainder of the candy bowl

8:30pm- Your friend heads home to get to bed early. Maybe you should too... Nah. We need one more movie to finish off this weekend.

8:45pm-11pm- "Halloweentown"

11pm- Got to bed... Seriously, you spent a whole weekend watching movies. You're crazy.

Until next year, Halloween!
