Good grief! It looks like one of our favorite Halloween movies for kids is switching things up this spooky season. 

Typically, the Peanuts classic It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown airs on ABC. This year, it will air exclusively on Apple TV+, according to tweet on Oct 19.  

This has been a Halloween tradition since 1966—first appearing on CBS before switching over to ABC in 2000. However, there are still ways to enjoy the lovable film: You can sign up for a free trial of Apple TV+ and watch it before Oct 31. Or you can wait until Oct 30–Nov 1 when the streaming service will offer it for free, according to MSN

While you're at it, be sure to marathon these other great scary movies and snag tickets to one of these neat Halloween drive-thru experiences, where you will, in fact, stumble upon a great pumpkin.
