AMC FearFest
What is FearFest? In 1997, the AMC network launched Monsterfest, a popular week-long marathon of horror movies and thrillers that aired in late October. On September 26, 2008, AMC announced the launch of a new horror-themed movie marathon for its October schedule called “Fearfest” which replaced Monsterfest. Fear Fest typically runs from mid-October every year until Halloween (often the day after too) and in recent years has run throughout the entire month of October. In 2023 AMC ran a “Kickoff to FearFest” that began on September 25th.

I have been waiting for months to watch The Shining on Fear Fest. PLEASE SHOW!
Appears they only had the rights to the original Halloween II for one year. Bummer
Need more werewolf movies like ginger snaps and American werewolf in London and Paris…dog soldiers ect….
Yes please!!!! How was the shining not on the list? They better air it.
100% exactly
Repeat movies way too much.Schedule says American werewolf in London October 27 at 9 am.Wasnt on.Gremlins 2 was.Since when is Gremlins horror.Played 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street over & over try playing 1984.Bad scheduling all around.
Damn right
The Boogeyman is coming!!!
I wish they showed more Chucky movies, more of the original parts of Friday the 13th, and at least most of the original Nightmare on Elm Street movies
PLEASE HAVE THE SHINING!!!
Please, please show Trick R Treat more than just October 5 at 1:30 in the afternoon. That movie deserves a night time slot and preferably a few airings in October. Probably one of the best Halloween movies in the history of true Halloween movies!
Insidious, sinister, the nun, conjuring series. Love fearfest but need more variety. Not Sure why they dont play halloween 2 with the rest of the series
Prepare for an army of downvotes. People are a little upset by the very notion of schedule changes.
Night of the living Dead…Dawn of the Dead…
Dawn of the Dead 1978 won’t be on AMC ever, Richard Rubinstein won’t ever allow it, he is a screwball.
Love the schedule this year great job
I wish they would air Halloween 3
“Final Destination” is NOT a Halloween movie!!! It’s a horrible series and of course they’re playing the atrocious sequels
There is no such thing as Halloween movies, in general they are horror movies played for Halloween.
As to the sequals, they can only play what they are allowed to play.
You are sooo right!
Yes it is
Can’t wait for Halloween!! Huge Halloween 3 guy.. love all Halloween movies!!
Can’t wait !!! Bring it in
Halloween 3 is a CLASSIC.
Halloween 3 is Big Time!! A cult Classic!
