69 free Disney Halloween trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
61 free Disney Halloween trivia questions with answers. Disney owns October. Between the Sanderson sisters, the Cromwell witches, Jack Skellington's Halloween Town, the Haunted Mansion's 999 happy haunts and a rogues' gallery of villains, the studio has spent almost a century making Halloween feel cosy rather than scary. This quiz covers all of it in fifty questions. Expect the big Halloween films (Hocus Pocus 1 and 2, the four Halloweentown movies, Twitches, Coco, Frankenweenie, The Haunted Mansion), the Disney Channel Original Movies that scared a generation (Under Wraps, Don't Look Under the Bed, Mr. Boogedy), the classic shorts (Lonesome Ghosts, Trick or Treat, The Skeleton Dance, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow), the villains, and the parks: Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Oogie Boogie Bash and the Haunted Mansion itself. It is family-friendly throughout, so it works for a Halloween party, a classroom or a movie-marathon night. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia and the films' own credits, and each question carries its source, so you can trust the answers when someone at the table argues.
