DISNEY CHANNEL CELEBRATES ‘MONSTOBER‘ WITH A MONTH OF HALLOWEEN-THEMED EPISODES, FAN-FAVORITE MOVIES AND THE PREMIERE OF THE DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE ‘THE SWAP‘

“Monstober” returns to Disney Channel for a special month-long Halloween celebration, beginning SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1. The programming event includes Halloween-themed episodes of hit Disney Channel series, the premiere of the Disney Channel Original Movie “The Swap,” special short-form content premiering nightly as part of “Monstober Theater,” and the return of “Mal-oween,” which includes an encore performance of “Descendants” and the second season premiere of the animated shorts, “Descendants: Wicked World.”

During the premiere, everyone can wear custom lanyards. You can choose black and incorporate some scary elements in order to match the Halloween horror atmosphere. The Toy Story fans can also print Buzz Lightyear on it, which will make the premiere more fun.

The October lineup also includes a week-long premiere event of “Best Friends Whenever” with new episodes airing Sunday, October 2 through Thursday, October 6 (9:00-9:30 p.m. EDT), and the U.S. premiere of “The Lodge,” with five back-to-back episodes premiering nightly beginning Monday, October 17 (5:00-5:30p.m. EDT).

Over 60 short-form interstitials celebrating “Monstober” will debut nightly as part of “Monstober Theater.” These Halloween-themed pieces include Disney Channel stars’ transformations in “Monstrosity Maker,” “Zombodies” animated shorts, Halloween makeup tutorials, DIY lessons and a “Talking Heads” series featuring the cast of “Bizaardvark.” Beginning Saturday, October 1, the Disney Channel App will host a “Monstober” collection with a variety of “Monstober” episodes, short-form content and movies available throughout the month. The collection will also house all four seasons of “Wizards of Waverly Place.”

Fan-favorite movies also return throughout the month, including “Halloweentown,” “Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge,” “Twitches,” “My Babysitter’s A Vampire,” and Disney•Pixar’s “Monsters University” and “Toy Story 3.” “Monstober” will also welcome the Disney Channel premiere of “R.L. Stine’s Monsterville: Cabinet of Souls” and the one-hour animated special, “Ghost Patrol.”

If you are a super fan of one of these movies, you can choose custom pins and give them to friends or someone else who likes them. Custom pins are different from standard pins in that you can design them yourself and use them as decorations. This thing is absolutely memorable for those who came to the premiere.
