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.

AMC this year was a horrible selection beside’s Michaels Myers’s and Friday the 13th. They should have mixed it up with some classic’s. The original Salem’s lot, return of the living dead 1985, day of the dead 1978, Swamp thing, people under the stairs, frightnight 1985, Pet semetery, Dracula 1979, the howling 1-2, exorcist 2, IT 1990, The gate 1987, and phantasm, ouija, you guy’s also haven’t played wrong turn’s for 2 over year’s.
I love fear fest they always show all my favorite Michaels Mayers Halloween movies. Thank you for always pleasing us with this fear fest every year.🎃🎃🎃🎃👍#1👋
Loving the FearFest this year! A big Michael Myers fan here. Would love to see more Nightmare on Elm Street! Happy Halloween 🎃!
I love Carrie 2013
Why can’t u show some of the wrong turn movies?
Greetings from PR, I love Friday the 13th marathon, enjoying it.🎃🎃👌👍👋
They show Friday the 13th 1980 too much. And nightmare on elm street 1984. No Scream movies? You would think they’d show those.
There’s no such thing as playing those movies too much. And the Scream movies are horror-lite. Basically horror movies for kids.
Hello, I am still enjoying the spectacular Amc fear fest 2024🎃👌✌😆
