The Whole Family Will Love Disney Plus’ Halloween Collection
It’s the most spooktacular time of year, and of course Disney has some of the best Halloween movies! My brother and I used to watched Halloweentown together every year! So I was excited that we can stream some of our favorite Disney Channel Original Movies on Disney Plus. There are Halloween movies for even the youngest of Halloween lovers (any Spookley the Square Pumpkin fans?). I love that Disney Plus separates their films/shows into collections (which are like watchlists). This makes it easier for you to find a certain type of content. (Looking for Educational content on Disney’s streaming platform? Here’s the best educational content now streaming on Disney Plus.) Check. out what’s included in the Disney Plus Halloween Collection.
