If you searched “Disney Halloween movies” hoping for one solid, actually-complete list instead of the same ten titles recycled across the internet, this is it!

We are both moms and we know that finding Halloween movies that are fun and appropriate are a big deal.

So we pulled together every Disney Channel Original Movie, Disney+ original, and classic animated film with real Halloween energy — organized so you can find exactly what mood you’re in.

 The Halloweentown Franchise (Where to Start)

If you only know one Disney Halloween movie, it’s this one — and for good reason.

  1. Halloweentown (1998)
  2. Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge (2001)
  3. Halloweentown High (2004)
  4. Return to Halloweentown (2006)

Debbie Reynolds anchors the first three as Grandma Aggie, guiding her granddaughter Marnie through the discovery that she’s a witch — and that the town where ghosts, goblins, and witches live openly is real. It’s the single most-searched Disney Halloween title by a wide margin, and it holds up.
