This Week’s FearFest Favs on AMC and AMC+
Only 16 days left until Halloween, but FearFest has a weekend packed full of classic horror to enjoy every minute of spooky season!
Creepy Catalog obsessively tracks the best horror movies available to stream and in October, these movies are part of FearFest. Turn the channel for terror with marathons like Slasher Sunday on Oct. 20th or stream for screams with new Shudder films like MadS and fan favs like Halloween III: Season of the Witch! Watch FearFest on AMC & AMC+. Check the full FearFest schedule and plan your October movie nights accordingly.
Our #1 streaming pick for this weekend is Candyman (1992), one of the best horror movies of the 90s. It follows a Chicago grad student who researches the “urban legend” of Candyman – a bloodthirsty villain with a hook for a hand. For extra fun, invite some friends over for a movie night and dare them to say “Candyman” five times after the movie ends. Catch it airing on AMC this Sunday as part of the “Slasher Sunday” marathon, or stream it any time on AMC+.
