2018 Halloween TV Specials and Movies Schedule

It seems way too early to even be thinking about Halloween (the leaves haven’t even started changing color yet) but date announcements for Halloween specials and movies are already coming out pretty regularly. Some Halloween-adjacent programming is even beginning to air in early September. While it’ll be awhile before we begin our own Halloween coverage on Geeky Hobbies, the time has come for our yearly roundup of every 2018 Halloween TV special, TV series, and movie and the dates and times they are airing. Not everything has been announced just yet but this list will be updated as new air dates are released. If you notice I have missed something, feel free to let me know in the comments section (or contact us) and I will add it to the schedule.

The first time listed for each title is the time for the Eastern, Mountain, and Pacific time zones. The second time listed is for the Central time zone.
