Top Spooky Movie Franchise Leading Disney+ Before Halloween
neration of ’90s kids longed to return to Salem and revisit the Sanderson Sisters. Now, both the original film and its follow-up are dominating the Disney+ charts for the 2025 spooky season.
According to FlixPatrol, a site that tracks streaming viewership data, “Hocus Pocus” and its 2022 sequel are holding the top spots on Disney+. Surprisingly, the 2022 movie didn’t receive the same glowing reviews as the original. “Hocus Pocus 2” was a bit extra silly and didn’t quite capture the magic of the first movie. Despite this, fans of the original have embraced both films, catapulting them to the top of the streaming charts.
The original “Hocus Pocus” jumped to the number one spot on Disney+ on October 20, 2025, and has held strong since then. The sequel has also been performing well, briefly holding the number one position in mid-October before being overtaken by its predecessor. Currently, the “Hocus Pocus” movies are holding the top two spots on Disney+ as we head into Halloween.
While the Sanderson Sisters are reigning supreme, other Halloween favorites are also making waves on Disney+. The TV series “Vampirina: Teenage Vampire” is in third place, closely followed by “Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge.” Fans of the “Halloweentown” franchise will be delighted to see it represented in the rankings.
In addition to these favorites, classics like “The Haunted Mansion” and the Marvel Zombies series are also holding spots in the top ten on Disney+. While Marvel may have a loyal fanbase, the nostalgic charm of the “Hocus Pocus” films seems to be unbeatable during the Halloween season.
As we count down to Halloween 2025, it’s clear that the “Hocus Pocus” movies are casting a spell on Disney+ viewers. Whether you’re a fan of the Sanderson Sisters or prefer a different kind of Halloween fare, Disney+ has something spooky for everyone to enjoy this season.
