And that's not to ignore other new entries from across the Disney spectrum such as long-awaited sequels to Hocus Pocus and Under Wraps, along with new releases of classic movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Halloween Almost Here for Disney, Marvel, & Star Wars
While Halloween only comes around once every year, Disney, and the properties it owns, always does its best to get into the spooky holiday spirit before the big day on October 31. This is especially the case in 2022 with both Marvel and Star Wars bringing Halloween-centric projects into the mix.
Of course, as a whole, Disney has dozens of fun Halloween movies from the past few decades, whether they be original movies or spooky spin-offs from already established franchises. With music being such a big part of Disney's repertoire, sing-alongs will even make their return this year as fans get to jam out to memorable songs from these scarier entries.
Then, Marvel will kick off the month's first weekend with the Werewolf by Night special, which had gone completely under the radar until it took the spotlight in Marvel's D23 presentation. This will pay tribute to classic 1940s horror movies as Jack Russell and Elsa Bloodstone take their place in the growing MCU - even Man-Thing will be featured at some point in the story.
And fans can't leave Star Wars out of the mix as well with how often the franchise has taken to LEGO form, this time revisiting a scary look at the Dark Side. This comes before a more real look back at the Sith's story in next year's The Acolyte, which will take the story back a century before the Skywalker Saga began.
All of this and more will be available on Disney+ starting on Saturday, October 1.
