Quick Answer: Disney+ has built a huge Hallowstream lineup in recent years, including Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Halloweentown, and Haunted Mansion (2023).
For families (Section 3), the safest starting points are Muppets Haunted Mansion, Coco, and Monsters, Inc. KeepStreams can download these movies for offline viewing.
Every October, I open Disney Plus, type "Halloween movies on Disney+" into the search bar, and immediately regret it. There's so much stuff—classics, Disney Channel Originals, new remakes, even Marvel specials—that it's hard to tell which titles are perfect for a cozy family night and which ones will leave your youngest kid sleeping in your bed for a week.
So in this guide, I'm going to do what I actually do for my own family:
- Pick the best Halloween movies on Disney Plus for different ages
- Highlight truly G-rated Halloween movies on Disney Plus (or very gentle PG)
- Flag scare level and recommended age using real parent/critic guidance, not just vibes
- Show you how to watch Disney+ Halloween movies offline, both with the official app and via KeepStreams
Editor's Top Picks at a Glance
Here's my "open-Disney+, pick something in 30 seconds" list. Think of this as the quick answer to the best Halloween movies on Disney+ for families:
| Movie | Rating* | Suggested Age | Scare Level | Why I Pick It |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hocus Pocus (1993) | PG | 8+ | Spooky-fun | Quintessential Disney Halloween, witchy chaos, but mostly laughs. |
| Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) | PG | 9+ | Mildly spooky | Modern sequel on Disney+, great for a double-feature night. |
| The Nightmare Before Christmas | PG | 8+ | Spooky & weird | The classic "is it Halloween or Christmas?” stop-motion musical. |
| Halloweentown (1998) | TV-PG | 7+ | Mildly spooky | A Disney Channel classic, pure cozy nostalgia for parents. |
| Muppets Haunted Mansion (2021) | TV-PG | 8+ | Mildly spooky | Muppets + Haunted Mansion ride = silly songs and gentle scares. |
| Haunted Mansion (2023) | PG-13 | 11+ | Spooky | Newer, ghost-heavy ride adaptation, more intense but still comedic. |
| Coco (2017) | PG | 7+ | Emotional & mildly spooky | Día de los Muertos setting, beautiful and heartfelt rather than scary. |
| Monsters, Inc. (2001) | G | 5+ | Non-scary | A G-rated "monster" movie where the monsters are more scared than the kids. |
| Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie | G | 3+ | Non-scary | Winnie the Pooh, trick-or-treating, and the gentlest Halloween tension. |
| Spooky Buddies (2011) | G (but intense) | 6+ | Mildly spooky | Golden retriever puppies in a Halloween adventure, but darker than you'd expect for little ones. |

How I Choose Halloween Movies on Disney+ for Different Ages
Note: When in doubt, I treat TV-PG and PG as "okay for big kids, pre-watch for sensitive younger ones".
A rating letter alone isn't enough. Here's how I actually think through what to play.
Ratings 101: G, PG, TV-G, TV-PG, and PG-13
Very roughly, here's how the common ratings map to a Disney+ Halloween night:
- G / TV-G – Almost no real threat. Great for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Monsters, Inc. and Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie live here.
- PG / TV-PG – Some scares, peril, or emotional intensity. Most Disney Halloween staples—Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, Coco, Muppets Haunted Mansion—are here.
- PG-13 – Noticeably spookier, with heavier themes or more intense ghosts/creatures, like the 2023 Haunted Mansion reboot.
For parents googling rated G Halloween movies on Disney+, the frustrating truth in 2025 is: there just aren't that many strictly G-rated Halloween movies on Disney+, so I treat gentle PG titles almost the same—but I still pre-check for skeletons, ghosts, and emotional themes.
For my own family, I've found that lighting and sound matter as much as visuals. A PG movie with bright colors and music often feels safer to my kids than a darker PG film with lots of sudden crashes and whispers.
Best Family Halloween Movies on Disney Plus (All Ages)
Note: For a classic family Halloween movie night that works for most ages, I usually go with: Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, Muppets Haunted Mansion, or Coco. For tweens and teens, Haunted Mansion (2023) and Werewolf by Night are great next steps once they’re bored of lighter fare.
These family Halloween movies work for everyone on the couch, from elementary kids to teens—and usually parents too.
Halloween Movies on Disney Plus for Little Kids (Ages 6–8)
For kids who are beyond toddler stage but still hate jump scares:
- Halloweentown (1998) – A girl discovers she's from a family of witches and visits a secret Halloween world. It's a staple of Disney's Halloween programming and a go-to family recommendation in 2025.
- Girl vs. Monster (2012) – A tween learns she's a fifth-generation monster hunter and accidentally releases a powerful monster on Halloween. Disney+ still carries it as a Halloween-set DCOM.
- Invisible Sister (2015) – A misfit scientist turns her popular older sister invisible on Halloween and has to impersonate her at school. Light sci-fi, school drama, and Halloween party vibes, not horror.
Halloween Movies on Disney Plus for Big Kids & Tweens (Ages 9–12)
These pick up the intensity just a little:
- Hocus Pocus (1993) – Three resurrected witches causing chaos in Salem. It's still one of the top-streamed Disney Halloween movies and anchors many 2025 "best Halloween movies on Disney+" lists.
- Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) – A modern sequel that brings the Sanderson sisters to a new generation, released directly on Disney+ and still streaming there.
- Muppets Haunted Mansion (2021) – A Halloween special set in the Haunted Mansion ride, with Gonzo spending the night in a haunted house. Most parent and kid reviews describe it as spooky but fundamentally playful.
- Toy Story of TERROR! – Short, punchy, and perfect for kids who love Toy Story but want a "tiny bit scary"& Halloween adventure.
Halloween Movies on Disney Plus for Teens & Parents
For older kids and adults who want a little more edge while still staying in the Disney ecosystem:
- Haunted Mansion (2023) – A ghost-packed remake with stronger scares and themes of grief and loss. Critics and kid-review platforms generally suggest it's best for tweens and up.
- The Haunted Mansion (2003) – The earlier Eddie Murphy version, lighter and sillier, but some parents find it unexpectedly intense for young kids.
- Werewolf by Night / Werewolf by Night in Color – Marvel's special presentation leaning into classic monster-movie style. Good for teens who already watch the MCU.
- Frankenweenie, Edward Scissorhands, and other Tim Burton titles – These appear frequently in 2024–2025 Halloween guides as spookier options for older kids and adults.
Can I Watch Halloween Movies on Disney Plus Offline?
Note: For most people, Disney+'s built-in offline mode on phones and tablets is enough for Halloween trips. If you need long-term or desktop-level offline access, KeepStreams for Disney Plus can help.
Yes, Disney Plus supports an official download feature, but with important limits—and that's where KeepStreams for Disney Plus can also come in as an extra option.
Official Disney+ Download Options (Mobile Only)
Disney+ has a built-in offline mode, but it's not universal:
- Downloads are only available on supported mobile devices (phones and tablets), via the official app. You can't download directly onto a smart TV or web browser.
- You need an eligible ad-free plan. Recent guides note that offline viewing is typically limited to the Standard (no ads) and Premium tiers.
- If you change to a plan that doesn't support downloads or cancel your subscription, you lose access to your downloads, even if the files are still on your device.
Basic steps (which haven't changed much in 2024–2025):
- Open the Disney+ app on your phone or tablet.
- Search for the Halloween movie you want (e.g. Hocus Pocus or Halloweentown).
- Tap the Download icon next to the title.
- Later, go to the Downloads tab to watch offline.
For many families, especially those who only watch on tablets in the car, this is enough.
Limits of the Built-In Download Feature
Where I start to bump into friction:
- No official way to move downloads onto a laptop or smart TV. If your kids want to rewatch offline on a bigger screen, you're out of luck.
- Downloads take up mobile storage, which fills quickly if you keep multiple HD movies.
- Titles can expire or be removed. You may need to reconnect online and re-authorize playback periodically.

FAQs
Q1. Does Disney Plus have Halloween movies for very young kids?
A1. Yes. For preschoolers and early elementary kids, Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie and Monsters, Inc. are my top non-scary picks, both rated G and widely recommended as suitable for all ages.
Q2. Are there any rated G Halloween movies on Disney Plus?
A2. Right now, the truly G-rated Halloween-appropriate titles on Disney+ are:
- Spooky Buddies (though many parents feel it plays closer to PG)
- Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie
- Monsters, Inc. (not set on Halloween, but a gentle monster movie)
Q3. Is Hocus Pocus / Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney Plus?
A3. Yes. Both Hocus Pocus (1993) and Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) stream on Disney+, and they remain centerpieces of Disney's seasonal "Hallowstream" programming and Freeform's "31 Nights of Halloween" schedule.
Q4. Can I watch Skyler Gisondo's Halloween movies on Disney Plus?
A4. On Disney+ you can watch Spooky Buddies, where Skyler Gisondo voices B-Dawg in a Halloween-themed Buddies adventure. His role as Tommy Doyle in Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007) is part of a much darker, R-rated franchise and streams on other platforms, not on Disney+.
