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’m truly excited for FearFest this year!! it’s an essential time for me to come back & watch FearFest every Halloween year. I wonder if FearFest & Shudder are going to do a collaboration with each other this year like they did last year. Boy, They had so many tv ads last year i loved them!! Makes me wonder if they are going to do it again this year too?✨🧡🎃
