As seen from the yearly tradition of re-releasing perennial Halloween favorites The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus, Disney fans and movie fans keep flocking to these horror favorites to liven the season. And as seen from the box office, audiences are surely turning up.
However, the studio has a lot more in their library that can make for great Halloween traditions in the cinema. Imagine these hidden gems and cult classics getting a second life on the big screen, with seats being filled by fans and first-timers.
With that, here are five potential Disney movies that make for great re-releases for every Halloween season:
Frankenweenie (2012)
Tim Burton always knows that his comfort zone is in stories with horror undertones and paying tribute to his horror idols. So, he went for the chance to do both with adapting his 1984 short film and turning it into a black-and-white stop-motion flick.

Halloween is one of those days when families or even friends come together to feast on delicious food, spend quality time, and obviously, gobble down a truckload of sweets and chocolates. And honestly, it’s the best day to put on Halloween-themed movies and other horror/thriller flicks. When you talk about Halloween cult classics you think about movies like The Shinning, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Scream, Halloween (1978), The Conjuring and the list just goes on!

But there’s one movie which despite its lackluster performance at the box office is considered a spooky season cult classic, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman’s iconic Practical Magic. However, its failure to achieve big numbers at the box office and positive reviews from movie critics might’ve been caused by a small accident involving an actual witch.

The mainstream film industry seems like it’s finally ready to accept that animation can also be used to tell adult-oriented stories, but there are still very few animators that specialize in creating hand-crafted frights. In fact, most of the popular spooky animated films out there were actually directed by the same legendary filmmaker – the insanely talented Henry Selick.
However, after making it big in the ’90s with The Nightmare Before Christmas (as well as the less successful but still entertaining James and the Giant Peach), Selick decided that it was time to try his luck with live-action storytelling, a decision that led to the infamous 2001 flop Monkeybone. However, despite the film’s reputation as a nearly incomprehensible mess, today I’d like to discuss how this oddball production might still appeal to modern-day horror fans.

2024 has been very kind to Tim Burton. After years of commercial or critical flops, Burton's comeback started in 2022 with "Wednesday" season 1 and peaked with the recently-released "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" — a movie that was not just a success, but also became one of Burton's biggest hits ever. Now, a beloved Tim Burton animated movie is climbing the streaming charts.
Halloween is upon us, and that means the Top 10 charts for streaming services across the United States are filled with spooky titles for all kinds of audiences (as well as a handful of miscellaneous titles that managed to climb the ranks). On Max, for example, Burton's 2005 stop-motion animated film "Corpse Bride" is currently sitting comfortably at the number four spot, sandwiched between M. Night Shyamalan's new film "Trap," the latest adaptation of "Salem's Lot," and two chapters in Ti West's "X" trilogy (via FlixPatrol).

On paper, everything about Laika Studios’ initial theatrical release of Coraline feels a bit like a fever dream: a stop-motion animated horror film geared towards children based on Neil Gaiman’s even darker namesake novella, released in early February during the tail-end of The Great Recession, whose lead talent included Dakota Fanning and Teri Hatcher. By the time it was released in 2009, films like The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) and The Corpse Bride (2005) had helped pave the way for stop-motion in the mainstream. But for a little-known studio like Laika (Coraline was one of Laika’s first projects), banking on the success of such a niche concept felt quite ambitious. Sure, Laika had Nightmare alumni Henry Selick take the helm on the film, but it seemed like there was a lot stacked against it: the Recession had folks frugal about spending, social media was still way in its infancy to be effectively leveraged for marketing,...

“The Big War,” one of Europe’s most ambitious feature projects brought to market at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, is heading the AFM with some incredible new graphics for its CG animal cast.
Inspired by the iconic two-part graphic novel “La Bête Est Morte,” written by Edmond-François Calvo during the Nazi occupation of France during World War II and published just after the liberation of Paris, “The Big War” is helmed by “La Haine” director Mathieu Kassovitz and produced by leading French producer Aton Soumache, whose recent credits include Annecy winner “Little Nicholas – Happy as Can Be” and Netflix’s mega-hit “Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir, the Movie.”
Given that the original book has very little by way of narrative, longtime Tim Burton collaborator Caroline Thompson, the award-winning screenwriter of “Edward Scissorhands” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” was recruited to adapt the screenplay. Former Cannes Film Festival...

The top film of the box-office weekend seven days ago, Smile 2, found itself relegated to second place this weekend as Venom: The Last Dance debuted in first place and bested last weekend’s top film by $41.6 million.
In its first weekend of release, Venom: The Last Dance brought in $51.0 million for Sony Pictures Releasing. This was more than enough to unseat last weekend’s top film, Smile 2, and take control of the top ten. Despite falling to second place, Smile 2 still managed to bring in $9.4 million in its second weekend of release for Paramount Pictures, bringing its overall total to $40.7 million. Meanwhile, Universal Pictures saw The Wild Robot drop a spot and claim third place with $6.5 million in its fifth week of release – raising its total to $111.4 million. Focus Features enjoyed a $6.5 million debut for Conclave as well as a fourth-place finish as the film finished just south of The Wild Robot.

If you’re wondering what to watch on Max this month, here are the best new movies streaming in October 2024. They range from brand-new horror films to spooky classics to two very different serial killer thrillers, starring the likes of Josh Hartnett, Elizabeth Debicki, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. It’s a grab-bag of films perfect for your Halloween viewing. Check out our list below.
“Salem’s Lot” (Max) Salem’s Lot (2024)
Welcome (back) to “’Salem’s Lot.” While this new adaptation of Stephen King’s 1975 novel was originally meant for theatrical exhibition, it finally debuted this month on Max. In this latest iteration, Lewis Pullman stars as Ben Mears, the Soul/Lowe character, a novelist who returns to his sleepy (and potentially doomed) home town of Jerusalem’s Lot to work on a new novel and finds that this hamlet has been taken over by filthy vampires.

IndieWire has all sorts of horror and Halloween recommendations for you to have a scary-good time on October 31. But while “The Nightmare Before Christmas” teaches us the potential danger of indulging in Halloween all year round, perhaps you would like Halloween to stretch out a little longer?
That’s where TV can continue to haunt your watch list for weeks and months. This got us specifically thinking about Korean TV series and how they make use of supernatural and fantastical elements for more than just horror purposes — K-dramas love a comedy or heartwarming character piece with a ghost or reincarnation element; they equally love a silly rom-com or a poignant slow-burn with a ghost; and there are fantastic action series where the goal of defeating supernatural spirits and demons is what paves the way for the aforementioned rom-coms and slow-burns.

Two new films cracked the box-office weekend top ten this past weekend, and one of them – Smile 2 – took over first place by a margin of $12.9 million.
Paramount Pictures saw the horror sequel Smile 2 debut in first place this weekend as it took in $23.0 million over its first few days in release. This was more than enough to best second-place finisher The Wild Robot which held onto second place for another week with $10.1 million. This gives the Universal Pictures product a four-week total of $101.7 million. Meanwhile, last weekend’s top film, Cineverse’s Terrifier 3 fell two spots to land in third place where it took in $9.3 million to lift its overall total to $36.2 million. Similarly, Warner Bros. saw Beetlejuice Beetlejuice remained steady in fourth place, adding $5.0 million over the weekend, raising the film’s seven-week total to $284.0 million.

For theaters still in shock over the historic collapse of “Joker: Folie à Deux” (Warner Bros.), there’s optimism with the “Smile 2” opening of $23 million and Sean Baker’s strong award contender “Anora” (Neon) becoming the year’s best platform debut. (Baker’s also joining IndieWire’s Future of Filmmaking Summit November 2.)
In its third weekend, Todd Phillips’ film grossed under $2.2 million to drop another 69 percent and place sixth. With $56.4 million in, its domestic gross will fall short of $65 million. Bad for the studio and worse for the theaters that counted on another $135 million or so in box office revenue (and accompanying concessions).
With “Smile 2,” Parker Finn’s sequel to his 2022 horror success inched slightly ahead of the original’s opening weekend, which went on to gross $90 million. “Smile 2” will have a hard time replicating that, particularly with “Venom: The Last Dance” (Sony) debuting this Friday.

Paramount Pictures’s decision to turn Smile, which was originally meant to be a streaming-only film, into a wide theatrical release has continued to pay handsome dividends for the studio. Smile 2, the critically acclaimed sequel, managed to (narrowly) outgross its predecessor’s opening weekend, making a handsome $23 million this weekend (just slightly ahead of our predictions). With a budget in the $27 million range, that’s a solid result for what could become the studio’s first big horror franchise since the Paranormal Activity series ran out of steam some years back.
For the sequel, director Parker Finn expanded the scope, with star Naomi Scott (in an excellent performance) playing a Taylor Swift-style pop star who winds up cursed. Given the ending, Finn may return for a third film with an even broader scope, but one has to wonder how long he’ll stay committed to the franchise. He...

Kim Kardashian and her huge family attended a spooky Halloween event. She shared some pictures and videos with her fans to make them feel like they were there with them.
The Kardashians Have An Extensive Family History
The Kardashian girls are the daughters of Oj Simpson’s lawyer and their TV personality mom, Kris Jenner. Kim Kardashian is an American media personality, socialite, and businesswoman. Her name reached the headlines due to her friendship and stylist job for Paris Hilton. However, her true rise to fame came with the sex tape she made in 2003 and released in 2007 with her now ex-boyfriend Ray J.
All the Kardashians have a high net worth due to their fame. They also have millions of followers on Instagram alone, which makes sense given the viewership of their reality TV show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Kourtney and Khloé, along with their sister Kim, are also media personalities and socialites.

Thanks to breakout roles in the Scream revival, Netflix's Wednesday and this year's Beetlejuice sequel, Jenna Ortega is fast becoming one of the most sought-after young actors in Hollywood, so it probably won't come as much of a surprise to learn that she's being courted by Marvel Studios.
According to scooper Mttsh, Ortega is now in talks for an undisclosed Marvel Cinematic Universe role.
It's always worth noting that Marvel meets with a lot of talent, but if Ortega has actually entered negotiations for an upcoming project, there's a good chance the trades will get hold of the story before too long.
Even if she is in talks, there's no guarantee that things will work out. Ortega has a busy schedule ahead, with a lead role in Taika Waititi's Klara and the Sun adaptation, and an untitled Trey Edward Shults film that will co-star The Weeknd and Barry Keoghan.

As expected, Smile 2 has gone straight to #1 at the North American box office this weekend with a $23 million opening. The movie received a B CinemaScore from audiences, an improvement over Smile's B- score.
One sequel that isn't making much of an impression, though, is Joker: Folie à Deux. The movie lost 1,245 theaters during its third weekend and is eyeing a disastrous $2 million - $2.5 million haul over the three-day frame following a laughable $665,000 Friday.
Now, the Joker follow-up sits at a dismal $54.9 million in the U.S.
Exhibitors have decided to instead rally around Deadpool & Wolverine. Yes, the movie is available on Digital and just days away from hitting DVD and Blu-ray, but it added an additional 535 theaters this weekend and grossed $185,000 on Friday.
With a predicted $500,000 - $700,000 haul during its thirteenth weekend, it looks set to pass Barbie's $636.2 million haul from last summer by close of business on Sunday.

While it’s easy to get stuck in the muck of “Joker: Folie à Deux’s” underperformance or the continuation of Lionsgate’s losing streak, there was a bright spot at this week’s box office that marked a historic first — five of the Top 10 movies were animated features.
The animated movies that made the Top 10 are so varied, too, which speaks to the fact that animation as a medium is just as versatile and bespoke as live-action filmmaking. These films also came from a variety of studios, showcasing how important animated features are to every company’s bottom line. At one point, the marketplace was dominated by a handful of players. Not anymore.
The movies were DreamWorks’ painterly adventure “The Wild Robot” (No. 2); Focus Features’ animated music documentary “Piece by Piece” (No. 5); Paramount’s sci-fi spectacle “Transformers One” (No. 6); Crunchyroll and Sony’s domestic release of Japanese anime “My Hero Academia: You’re Next” (No.

The late nineties and early 2000s marked the peak of Brendan Fraser’s career as a leading man. The 1992 comedy classic, Encino Man put him on the map in a big way, and he had several other comedy hits throughout the decade, including George of the Jungle (along with an underrated drama called School Ties). But, it was 1999’s The Mummy that truly elevated him, with him cast as the wisecracking, Indiana Jones-style hero in what turned out to be one of the year’s biggest hits.
Yet, one movie Fraser did pretty soon after The Mummy has all but been forgotten, the live-action/ stop-motion hybrid Monkeybone, which was directed by The Nightmare Before Christmas’s Henry Selick. In it, Fraser played a harried cartoonist who meets his most famous creation, Monkeybone (voiced by John Turturro) while in a state of limbo following a car accident. Bridget Fonda, Chris Kattan and Rose McGowan co-star.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. In 2019, a reasonably budgeted film about a killer clown ruled the box office. In 2024, the sequel is being completely eclipsed by another sequel with an even more reasonable budget about a different killer clown. Arthur Fleck simply couldn't compete with Art the Clown.

A new film took control of the box-office weekend as Cineverse’s Terrifier 3 managed to unseat last weekend’s top film, Joker: Folie à Deux, by a margin of $4.9 million.
In its first weekend of release, Terrifier 3 brought in $18.3 million for its studio, landing in squarely in the first slot of this week’s top ten.

To say that October has been horrible at the box office so far would be putting it lightly, but low-budget horror might end up being this month’s savior. Read on for the weekend box office report.

After Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix‘s “Joker: Folie à Deux” bombed in its opening weekend and was hated by critics and audiences alike, it wasn’t likely to hold up well in its second weekend, and indeed it didn’t.
Instead, the box office phenom of the weekend was the breakout success of Damien Leone‘s grisly indie horror flick, “Terrifier 3,” once again starring David Howard Thornton as the smiling serial killer, Art the Clown, and Lauren Lavara as his final girl nemesis.

Manfred Mann’s 1968 hit single “Ha! Ha! Said the Clown” synthesizes theaters this weekend as “Terrifier 3” (Iconic/Cineverse) easily took the top spot. “Has the king lost his crown?” the second verse goes. Well, yes he did, and more, as “Joker: Folie à Deux” (Warner Bros.) fell 81 percent and likely to fourth place.
“Terrifier” is the third entry in the microbudget unrated horror series. With a $5 million budget (including marketing), it more than doubled what was anticipated as an already-decent $8 million opening. Positioned perfectly before Halloween, ahead of “Smile 2” (Paramount) next week, it built on its growing fandom and a smart social media campaign.
With an audience that reportedly is almost half Latino, “Terrifier 3” saved a bad weekend from being even worse. It’s an impressive achievement, all the more so without an MPA rating, and it could reach $50 million.
The caveat is we’ve got $18.3 million...

The box office numbers are coming in, and one thing is for sure – Joker: Folie à Deux is officially Doa at the box office. How does a movie go from being the most anticipated film of the year to one of the biggest box office flops ever? I guess by making it a musical and showing absolute disdain (if not loathing) for the fans that made the first one a billion-dollar box office smash (and an Oscar winner to boot).
Indeed, the battle between Terrifier 3 and Joker: Folie à Deux wasn’t even close. The $5 million budget, unrated Terrifier 3 way outpaced expectations (including our own) to make just over $18 million this weekend (according to Deadline), despite no stars or studio support. When all is said and done, studios are going to have to sit up and take notice of the fact that two of the year’s most profitable movies,...

This weekend’s box office is a tale of two clowns, as Cineverse/Bloody Disgusting’s “Terrifier 3” has become a can’t-miss film for horror fans with a $18.3 million opening weekend from 2,514 theaters while Warner Bros.’ “Joker: Folie a Deux” has suffered one of the worst second weekend drops ever seen for a wide release.
Todd Phillips’ $190 million sequel to “Joker,” the first R-rated film to gross $1 billion worldwide, has fallen 81% from its $37.8 million opening weekend to just $7 million. According to data from Box Office Mojo and exhibitor sources, that will be the worst second weekend percentage drop for any wide release with an opening weekend of $30 million or more if it stands after Monday actuals are reported.
“Terrifier 3,” meanwhile, a film with a combined production and marketing spend of just $2.5 million, has completely eclipsed the $10.6 million domestic total of “Terrifier 2.” Even if it sees its second...

After the tease last week, Epic Games has pulled back the curtain on Fortnitemares 2024 for Fortnite, bringing not only Leatherface and Billy the Puppet into the fray, but also the likes of Edward Scissorhands, Jack Skellington and other season-appropriate Disney properties. This year’s Fortnitemares will run until the end of Chapter 5 Season 4.
Saw is the big focus this year for Fortnitemares. Along with a Billy the Puppet outfit, there’s also Boom Billy, an explosive mini-Billy the Puppet that’ll homes in on the nearest opponent, including you! If you are the unfortunate player, you’ll need to outrun it so that it detonates. Boom Billys can be found on the ground or in Chests. Or, you can get one from defeating the real Billy the Puppet at Freaky Fields.

10 2024 Films that Will Get You Into the Halloween Spooky Season - Main Image
Though horror films are released all year round, the Halloween season in October is really the time to celebrate all things dark and creepy.
Several movies have been come to known as Halloween classics with films like The Thing, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Poltergeist, but 2024 has also brought in some interesting movies that should get you into the spooky season (in no particular order).
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Halloween isn’t always about things being scary. Sometimes things can just be gross and silly, and the Beetlejuice sequel from Tim Burton delivers a great return to his kooky depiction of the afterlife.

Ken Page, the Broadway veteran who provided the voice of the ghastly villain Oogie Boogie in the Tim Burton-produced The Nightmare Before Christmas, has died. He was 70.
Page died peacefully Monday at his home in St. Louis, his manager, Todd M. Eskin, announced.
In his Broadway debut, Page stepped in as a replacement to play the Lion in the original 1975-79 production of The Wiz, and he won a Drama Desk Award and drew standing ovations when he sang “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat.”

Ken Page, one of Broadway’s most familiar character actors who indelibly lent his voice to Tim Burton’s holiday film classic The Nightmare Before Christmas as the villainous Oogie Boogie, died Monday, September 30. He was 70.
His death was announced on social media by his friend Dorian Hannaway, who wrote that he “passed quietly and peacefully at his home.”
Born January 20, 1954, in St. Louis, Page was determined to pursue a career on the stage as early as high school, and received a full scholarship in musical theater at Fontbonne College in Clayton, Missouri. He began his professional career in the chorus of St. Louis’ Muny theater before making his Broadway debut in 1977 in the replacement cast for Cats as the Lion.
A more noticeable star turn came in the 1976 Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls, with Page all but stealing the show as Nicely-Nicely. Next came the 1978 hit Ain’t Misbehavin...
