Here’s the Lineup for ABC Family’s ’13 Nights of Halloween’ 2015

corpse brideIt’s that time again. Time for ABC Family’s 17th Annual “13 Nights of Halloween.” It’s a great opportunity to get into the spooky spirit as the clock winds down to Halloween on Oct. 31.

This year, the event kicks off on Monday, October 19 and concludes on Saturday, October 31, and features a special Halloween episode of the procedural drama “Stitchers.”

The event will also include the ABC Family premiere of Johnny Depp in  “Sleepy Hollow,” the network premiere of Disney Pixar’s Monsters University,and a delightfully scary mix of Halloween-themed programming airing for the 13 nights leading up to Halloween.

Yes, I realize not all of these shows are exactly family-friendly, so use your best judgment when  you decide to watch with your kids. Like for example, you should probably skip “Poltergeist” if you’ve got kids in the house. Fortunately, they’ve scheduled some of the scarier titles for later in the night.

Here’s the lineup. What shows or movies are you most looking forward to? Tell us in the comments below.
