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.

ilove hallowen on dvd nd ilove the Back story ofhallown on amc
I agree with Christian.. we need Halloween 3 season of the witch.. it is a classic!
C’mon it’s not Halloween without Season of the Witch! 14 days till Halloween…
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
Halloween Jason Freddy
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
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%
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
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
If you want REAL horror then just pipe in Cspan.
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 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
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 love fear feast . One thing could you do differently is starting October 1st thru November 1st could you play scary movies thru-out the whole month starting oct 1st thru novem 1st. 31 days of halloween movies non-stop.
and where in the fuck is Halloween 2 1981 they showed it last year but not this Halloween wtf
Pretty stupid isn’t it? For some odd reason part 2 is always given this treatment, do not know why bc it’s one of the best sequels to any franchise out there. Personally I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the board room with the brain trusts at AMC during Fear Fest time, must be a lot of clanking around with those ball bearings in their heads.
I agree why are they not showing the classic sequel of 1981 for this year’s Halloween fear fest
