Is it October yet?! A few weeks remain in September, but the Disney Channel is already gearing up for the spookiest event of the year. The network released their “Monstober” schedule, a programming special that includes Halloween-themed TV episodes, movies and more throughout the month of October.

The “Monstober” fun kicks off on Sunday, Oct. 2. Highlights for 2016 include the return of “Mal-Oween,” with the Season 2 premiere of “Descendants: Wicked World.” An encore of “Descendants” will also be airing for those who have yet to get a chance to catch the 2015 TV movie, which follows the teenage children of some of your favorite Disney characters.
