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.

Halloween rob zombie 1 and 2 are not on amc this year also no Halloween 2 original or Halloween 3 smh AMC needs to fight to get these classics back on the lineup this year amc is getting bullied by steaming companies like peacock
Also there has been none of the Scream movies shown
Hi everyone, or anyone,
Based on all the comments, depending on what generation you’re from. this is just my honest and humble, opinion. what the heck even happened to the real Halloween CLASSIC movies back in the day, oldies but goodies, rethinking reality, critical thinking, 1950’s 1960’s, 1970’s and early to mid-1980s like the Wolf Man, Lon Chaney, The Mummy, Frankenstein, Dracula, and the best actors like Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee. The original Halloween was the best ( 1976) see the problem today is directors and producers try to reinvent the wheel. Just leave it alone. Those are classics that will never be the same just like the original movies as well. Because most of the time I think they’re just not the same or good. Today’s movies don’t look real ( it’s all this computer ammunition, drama on steroids, they’re not like back then at hammer studios in
( England) or actually shot live on real locations. It felt more real and kept you in suspense and the actors, and writers were brilliant. Now it’s boring and most of these horror movies are on a loop. But it’s like everything today greed, going with the flow, and politics. Not me, I’m 97 % in boycott mode with even today’s sports, But the good news is, you can now buy them all on the internet 😉 I’ve enjoyed the glory days now it’s over.
Sign, Baby Boomer.
Why do they cut everything out it should be played like it is in the theaters that’s the only thing about fear fest that sucks.
I think the people are right when they say the same movies play year after year they should play classics and what about all the great slashers and horror from the 70’s 80’s they need to upgrade their gear fest in the future cause I’m sure alot of people will not watch they’s movies they may as well play cartoons
I think I saw a movie on amc a few years back and I can’t remember what it is. It had something to do with hunters going into a club/bar in the middle of no where and I think at night women turned into some type of creatures and I think they all died when the sun came up or something like that?
From dusk till dawn
Year after year, they never show Halloween 2 (1981) or Halloween 3 (1983). Why? Stop showing Resurrection and show H2 & H3. I’ll even take the Zombie remakes over Resurrection.
James, all networks including AMC are bound by law that they cannot show a movie or film with out the explicit rights of the producer or film company. It sucks yes, they can go ahead and air it, but they will have their butts sued off, so they are not willing to have that just for OUR viewing pleasure.
if you have comcast xfinty and one of those grey remotes that have microphoe press it and say halloween 2 you might have to pay a small rental fee like i did or you can buy it they also have halloween james think if you google it halloween 2 it should come up on tubi website i found it there as well
AMC fear fest is not the same anymore I been a fan for 15 years and this year it’s just a terrible mix they are showing Halloween 6 Halloween 5 and 4 in the morning on Halloween lots of the movies are during the day latest 10pm all AmC cares about now is the walking dead
It’s basically October. I hope none of you are happy with the schedules.
No shining?!
I like, love horror movies
For those who may not have seen yet and are interested . Halloween II (1983) and Halloween III season of the witch will be on SYFY this October.
Do you know what days?
Need Creepshow and Humanoids from the Deep!
