Disney Channel is known for their iconic TV shows and original movies. Their Halloween specials featured during “Monstober” are no exception. From the storylines and the costumes to the special appearances, these episodes and movies are arguably the best and most spirited amongst all others. If you want to get in the Halloween spirit, here are nine Disney Channel Halloween episodes and movies that will do the job.
Episodes
Jessie: Season 4, Episode 18: “The Ghostess with the Mostest”
This episode exceptionally plays on all parts of the Halloween spirit, like: spooky ghosts, crazy costumes, and fun decorations! It highlights Jessie and the kids as they are haunted by a frightening ghost named Abigail that resembles the popular ghost girl with long hair that appears in many horror films. It is on the creepier side for a Disney production and is the perfect alternative for a scary movie if they are not your thing. You might even recognize a couple guest stars from “I Didn’t Do It,” wink wink! This episode is part of the Monstober Spooktacular which consisted of several crossover episodes from various Disney shows airing in 2015.
Austin & Ally: Season 4, Episode 15: “Scary Spirits & Spooky Stories”
Do you love Halloween parties and scary stories? If so, this episode is perfect for you! It follows Austin, Ally, Trish, and Dez as they travel to a Halloween party in New York at a haunted house and tell each other frightening stories that they made up. The stories they tell are more on the silly side, which makes this episode more lighthearted rather than creepy. This episode is also part of the Monstober Spooktacular so keep a look out for a couple “K.C. Undercover” characters!
Girl Meets World: Season 2, Episode 18: “Girl Meets World of Terror 2”
This episode is like a two in one! Not only does it connect to Austin & Ally’s Halloween episode since it is also part of the Monstober Spooktacular, but Auggie also tells two stories throughout this episode. The first one is about the ghost who lives in Riley’s iconic bay window. The second one is the story of the haunted house where a Halloween party is held; Maya and Riley go and just so happen to run into the Austin & Ally gang. It is a classic Disney crossover with a meaningful story, something that Girl Meets World is known for.

When you think of “Liv & Maddie,” you think of twins, right? Not in this episode! This episode introduces Liv and Maddie’s triplet, Helga.
