Letting Loose in the Freeform House

If you're like me, you watch scary movies year-round, but for those who are jumping on board the spooky train once October hits - Freeform has got the goods. All month long, Freeform is showing Halloween movies, starting with "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," and ending with "Scooby Doo - Monsters Unleashed," with pit stops at "Hocus Pocus," "The Addams Family" and many of Tim Burton's creations. To celebrate the kickoff of this month-long Halloween celebration, Freeform and its sponsors Party City and Butterfinger have brought back the Freeform House for a second year. And this year, it's better than ever with two floors!

After entering through the pumpkin tree to Halloween Town, you'll find yourself in a a cemetery where familiar names mark headstones along your path. It leads up to the famous Spiral Hill from Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas," as well as various scenes from "Hocus Pocus," a personal favorite of mine. One of those graves is that of Billy, lover to Winnifred and *ahem* friend of Sarah's. Spit out those butterflies and hop into this grave to recreate Billy rising from the dead. You can form a calming circle over the Sandersons' cauldron before adding in some dead man's toe. Call for Book through the Sanderson cottage window or fly through the air as you recreate the film's cover art. Even light the black flame candle as Binx the cat looks on.

Up the grand staircase, you'll find more "Nightmare Before Christmas," including the Mayor's car and Halloween Town Square. Next door, you'll find the attic where you can take the tub as Lock, Shock and Barrel - complete with masks and weapons! Slide down the clubhouse slide to Oogie Boogie's lair and roll the dice! Are you feeling lucky? You should be! Because there are two chances to win in Oogie's lair! Spin the wheel and roll the dice, and you've got double the odds of winning!

The last, and newest room to be sure, is sponsored by Party City and the all-new animated "The Addams Family," in theaters October 11th. This room features antique seating as well as costumes to REALLY get you into the creepy and kooky mood. Feeling mysterious? Grab a seat on the blood-red tufted loveseat. Or are you feeling more spooky? Strap yourself into the wooden electric chair. Either way, with the costumes from Party City and the taxidermy bear looming over you, you can't help but take a spectacular photo.

Check out Freeform's Halloween House, running October 2-7 in Hollywood by purchasing your tickets here. Don't be afraid to ask the room attendants to assist with taking photos. Major shoutout to the Hocus Pocus broom folks for suggesting and perfectly executing some of the best slow-motion video I've ever seen!
