Freeform Kicks Off ’31 Nights of Halloween’ With a ‘Hocus Pocus’-Inspired Music Video
Freeform made a big change to its 13 Nights of Halloween schedule this year and is instead offering fans 31 Nights of Halloween. And to kick off the spooky fun, the network released a “Hocus Pocus” music video on Monday, October 1.
Dance icons — and real-life husband and wife — Stephen “tWitch” Boss and Allison Holker teamed up for the freaky music video, which is set to an original single by Rondo Stacks and IZK Jenkins, inspired by the tune “I Put A Spell On You” from the 1993 Hocus Pocus movie.
Freeform’s month-long creeptastic extravaganza will also include a Hocus Pocus 25th Anniversary Halloween Bash, featuring interviews with stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, Omri Katz, Thora Birch, and more. You can catch the special on October 20 at 8:15pm ET/PT, before a Hocus Pocus marathon on October 31.
