What is FearFest? In 1997, AMC 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.
AMC Fear Fest 2019 Schedule
Now in its 23rd consecutive year, AMC’s annual horror marathon FearFest is bringing the frights in the lead up to Halloween with 19 days of genre programming featuring 80 films and 400 hours of programming. Includes the iconic film franchises Halloween, Friday the 13th, Leprechaun, Alien, and Stephen King classics. FearFest programming will also be available to On-Demand platforms.

now that it’s underway, it’s really nice to see these movies again, so THANKS!
it’s too bad though, that you’re showing the same movies over and over and over again. twice during fearfest is really enough, as there are so many other horror movies available that can fill these spots.
as well, why does the good programming stop mid-evening on sundays, and at 10pm on weekdays? fearfest should continue 24×7 during october!
walking dead is STILL on during this fest – and honestly – it doesn’t have a place during this month, as it’s on all the time!
i love the ‘halloween’ series, and the ‘friday the 13th’ series, but there are more horror movies to be seen this month, instead of repeating them so many times.
and for heaven’s sake, please show the series in sequence, and don’t leave any of them out. some of the ‘omen’ movies are listed, but not all, and not all the ‘chucky’ movies either.
thanks for including final destination series. would also love to see the newer ‘haunting’, and some other faves!
I love LOve LOVE this time of year, one of the reasons being this! Tha kms for all the spooks and creepy shows, I just love them 👍💯😯😳
I am convinced that AMC is content to shove The Walking Dead down everyone’s throats to squeeze every inch out of the TV ratings that they possibly can, while the show continues to die a slow, horrible death. It’s old, boring, and has dragged on way too long. But don’t try to convince AMC of that. It won’t matter. They will only believe it when the TV ratings finally tank to rock bottom.
I love the Stephen king series excellent choice
If you want REAL horror then just pipe in Cspan.
In 1963, Michael Meyers murders his sister on Halloween night. Years later, he escapes from a mental hospital and returns to his hometown to kill again. Watch
The hills have eyes
Invasion of the body snatchers
Birds
Children of the corn
Prom night
The exorcist
Christine
Pet secretary
Flowers in the attic
The burning bed
Are some others perhaps for next year viewings
Pet Secretary… LOL
I have been watching Monster/fearfest since ’02 and this is the first time I have seen them not care about it. The way they started off is not good to me. There is no anticipation for the movies, no buliding us up, no excitement. This is the problem with them having it for a month long. They have already shown the Halloween movies, The omen Trilogy, and then on Friday the Friday the 13th marathon. That’s all in the first week of the marathon which is not good. Then they will show them again in two weeks. Amc needs to go back the basics start off with the universal monsters, then ghost/ paranormal for the second week. The last week should be all about slashers. It would bulid up anticipation, it would be fun and most importantly it would be fun and exciting to watch again!
I agree 100%
Is it too much to ask for you to play a movie series in the right order? Stop playing 4 and 5 before 1 and 2
yessssssssss
C’mon it’s not Halloween without Season of the Witch! 14 days till Halloween…
Halloween Jason Freddy
Even Halloween day the movies not even played in order seriously!!
Yeah…. They really dropped the ball this year. Too much Walking Dead, too much Jurrassic Park, I mean I like Alien but it shouldn’t be a part of FearFest. Maybe I’m looking back with rose colored glasses but it has been much, much better in the past
I agree with Christian.. we need Halloween 3 season of the witch.. it is a classic!
ilove hallowen on dvd nd ilove the Back story ofhallown on amc
What films are you showing on actual Halloween, Oct 31? You only show schedule up to Oct 30.
It’s a shame that Children Under the Stairs doesn’t get a daytime showing, it’s always at the obscure hours of night and only airs once. That film deserves more recognition than some of these so-called classics like Friday the 13th Part 9 and Halloween 6.
Would also be nice if they had chosen to air some other greats such as Exorcist 3 or Black Christmas. I like that Lake Placid is there, it’s quite a fun one and a few more of that nature such as the original Leprechaun would have also been welcome. And there’s always room for some silly ones such as Cutting Class or Troll.
Why do you play the Halloween movie franchise three days in a row? Why not just save if for Halloween?
Out of all the Halloween films, why does Halloween II (1981) always get the boot? Makes no sense to show Rob Zombie’s film. I mean unless they don’t have rights to it or something???
i wonder if anyone at AMC ever reads this blog. hope so, as the FEST this year was good to a point, but severely lacking in many ways.
HALLOWEEN, FRIDAY THE 13TH series were played way too often and though i love them – there’s room for other movies.
again i reiterate, as others have, show them in the proper order. there were so many parts of every series missing. truly disappointing.
including movies like INDEPENDENCE DAY, JAWS, JURASSIC PARK, were not necessary.
and closing on oct 30, 31, nov 1 with the HALLOWEEN series, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, was really sad. 29 times they were shown, in 2 days!!!!!
they missed the rest of the CHUCKY movies, and what about CANDYMAN?
and again, why was the programming not run 24×7 – the night time stuff was cruddy!!
FINAL DESITINATION was missing a good part of the series.
PARANORMAL movies – okay – really – watching hours of home video with some scary snipits is truly boring!!!
thanks anyway AMC, but it would be nice to hear on this blog, from AMC – hoping next year is much better.
Jaws and Jurassic Park are Halloween worthy?! so many other classics to play. Who schedules these anyway??
No Halloween 3- Season of the Witch, no fear fest. Shame…
9 more days till Halloween!
Gonna have to have my own personal screening I guess….
Im currently in Mexico.I have AMC but these movies do not appear!Why?!?!
