The 2023 AMC FearFest schedule is packed with an impressive lineup of horror movies, featuring some must-watch picks for this spooky season.
Halloween encompasses various traditions, from costumes and pumpkin carving to enjoying spiced lattes. However, at its core, October wouldn’t be complete without indulging in some incredible horror movies. While Freeform runs ’31 Nights Of Halloween’ with family-friendly content, for a more intense scare, the 2023 AMC FearFest schedule is the go-to.
In the lead-up to Halloween, different networks and streaming services pull out all the stops to immerse audiences in the spirit of All Hallow’s Eve. Each brand offers a unique lineup, and AMC is known for a blend of classic horror films spanning different eras, including hits from the ’80s and ’90s, as well as recent modern classics. Additionally, as the owner of the streaming service Shudder, AMC provides crossover opportunities not only for Shudder original TV shows but also for exclusive films available only on the Shudder platform.
FearFest 2023 started in September and extends beyond just the weeks of October, promising plenty of terrifying tales in the weeks to come. The complete FearFest programming includes installments from iconic franchises like Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th, along with contemporary favorites such as Trick ‘r Treat, Zombieland, and Drag Me to Hell.
For horror aficionados, here’s a glimpse of the complete schedule for 2023’s AMC FearFest, showcasing a wide array of spine-chilling movies to keep you captivated throughout this eerie season.
October is all set to launch with non-stop coverage featuring a blend of beloved horror classics and exciting new content from Shudder. Get ready for a month filled with screams and excitement!
What is AMC FearFest?
In 1997, AMC introduced Monsterfest, a highly anticipated week-long horror movie marathon that graced television screens in late October. However, on September 26, 2008, AMC unveiled its new horror-themed movie extravaganza for the October schedule, aptly named “Fearfest”, effectively replacing Monsterfest. Fearfest traditionally spans from mid-October, usually until Halloween, and often extends to the day after. In recent years, it has expanded to encompass the entire month of October, delighting horror enthusiasts throughout the spooky season.
How to watch AMC FearFest without cable?
Subscribing to AMC+ through Amazon Prime Video Channels at $8.99 per month (with the flexibility to cancel anytime) is a convenient way to access a wide range of channels, featuring AMC+ and Shudder, without the need for a traditional cable subscription.
What is the AMC FearFest 2023 schedule?
AMC FearFest is back, delivering spine-tingling scares in the run-up to Halloween with an entire month of chilling genre programming. Brace yourself for 31 days packed with 80 films and a whopping 400 hours of terrifying content. This spooktacular lineup includes legendary film franchises like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Leprechaun, Alien, and timeless Stephen King classics. Get ready for a hauntingly good time!
