It’s not fully Halloween until AMC starts showing horror movies for the month of October. It’s long been the place where many of us got our Horror start. Now, we’ve got the full schedule and it turns out as THS did with Fright-A-Thon, they’re starting a bit early on September 30th. FearFest runs from September 30th all the way up to October 31st. So if you’re in need of some content throughout the month, AMC has you covered. Starting off strong, here’s the full schedule for FearFest.

When we get the full schedule from AMC, we’ll update this!
So, what do you think of the FearFest lineup this year? Lots of classic movies combined with obscure ones. It’s a nice mix. Remember, FearFest is usually the jumping on point for new Horror fans. So if you look at this and say “That’s a lot of Friday the 13th, Halloween, and A Nightmare on Elm Street, well, yeah, that’s because those are the points of entry for people. This looks like it should be another successful FearFest for the channel though.
For more on Horror, make sure to check out the Fright-A-Thon Index, the 61-day Halloween Content Marathon!
They need more 80s horror! Critters, The Entity, Night of the creeps, Cat People! More variety!
