Remember Disney channel in October during the earlier 2000s? What a time to be alive! No wonder so many millennials are obsessed with Halloween. The Disney channel really made that a special time. All the shows like got special Halloween episodes and the Disney channel original movies became strictly spooky. We're talking Hocus Pocus, the Halloweentown anthology, Mom's Got a Date With a Vampire, The Tower of Terror, The Haunted Mansion, The Nightmare Before Christmas and so many others that became Halloween classics. Seriously, now it just doesn't feel like Halloween unless you get a chance to watch one or all of these movies. At least for us millennials who grew up with them. They were so soothing—just enough jump scares to make you feel like you were being brave, but just enough Disney sweetness to have you learning some good morals. Hopefully we let these films live on forever during spooky season, for now, enough the memes!
