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.

Very, very disappointed at the films being shown again this year. Same ones every year that we have all seen too many times. There are so many great horror films that are never shown on any channels. But I do at least give AMC one positive, they are at least showing horror movies. Most of their competitors are not even showing horror films at this time of the year. Come on television programmers, lets show your subscribers you are at least trying to get someone to watch!
I I so agree they show the same ones repeated if you want to show them fine show them once and maybe repeat them towards the end of it where Halloween comes but show some new scary movies you know like either show The conjuring show something like they used to show wrong turn now you don’t even see them anymore all you see is Halloween and Friday the 13th and Chucky like I want to see some old ones some scary ones like hills have eyes too even when they like The walking Dead yeah that’s awesome but show from season 1 all the way to the end especially when this is coming to be the last season they don’t even do that anymore like this channel has gotten so awful
Amy, they can only show movies to which they have permission to show. If they only showed those they can once then Fear Fest would be short lived. That is why the repeat over and over, I agree it would be great to be able to show everything, but they cannot.
They cannot get the rights to show certain movies.
I love this entire month of movies ! I also think that scream and all of the walking dead is played way too much ! I think you could add some other older movies that are better than seeing scream 100X – however i will still watch them all because I love these types of movies.
Halloween III should be shown Halloween night at 7pm so that it ends at 9pm right when “the big giveaway” starts. At least one primetime viewing would be nice. This is a cult classic that horror fans watch every year.
I Want Star October 20 2021 Wes Caven’s New Nightmare (1994) for 2hrs 30 min a.m.9:00-11:30-a.m. Star October 26 2021 Wes Caven’s New Nightmare (1994) for 2hrs 30 min a.m.7:00-9:30-a.m. Star October 27 2021 Wes Caven’s New Nightmare (1994) for 2hrs 30 min a.m.11:30-2:00-p.m. Star October 28 2021 Wes Caven’s New Nightmare (1994) for 2hrs 30 min p.m.12:00-2:30-p.m. 10-19-2021
Why are you not playing Halloween 6? Those of us like me who want to watch the series in order can not do so because you’re not playing 6. Why?
Guessing they don’t have the rights to air it
AMC WHERE is the Friday the 13th series?! So disappointing. A full day of Final Destination?! Who schedules these movies??
I love this time of the year it’s my birthday October next Fear Fest y’all should play House on Haunted Hill..Dead Silence and my all-time favorite and my kids love to watch Child’s Play..
Your friend Michael Myers…
AMC Fearfest is always a good time, definitely look forward to it every year
same shit, different year. is it too much to ask for some old 60s and 70s weird films?
Amen to that
This one is good no walking dead no zombies just blood and guts
Hasn’t been a decent AMC marathon since Roger Corman hosted it, that was a great fest!!!
exactly right hasn’t been any good in years. whoever programs it doesn’t care at all . Need to bring back monstervision and a host like Roger Corman or somebody. A disappointment every year.
Very disappointed that the entire Friday the 13th series is not being shown this year; it was shown last year. Also, no Trick r Treat. Once again, very disappointed.
I love this time of year …..I especially love me some #HALLOWEEN time Halloween
🎃☠️💀🦴🕷️🕸️ 👻🔪❤️
The #MOVIE list on here and for AMC this year for 2021 is good…. I’ll definitely be watching some of the movies…I #LOVE it…It sucks #JASON #TheFridaythe13th movies didn’t make the cut this time around…. Maybe next time huh or next year….Guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens….I ALWAYS look forward to these types of things,hey it keeps you distracted and it NEVER disappoints
((AMC is the MUST to watch))
…. Thanks #AMC
**LET’S keep HORROR movies alive**

👻🕸️🕷️🦴💀☠️🎃🔪❤️
no Trick r’ Treat this year? Really? Sad. Anybody know any other channels I can watch that probably have a better line-up?
HBO Max has Trick R Treat. It might also have the Friday the 13th movies but not for sure.
Halloween 3 Season of the witch!! Awesome 👌
