Creepy Catalog obsessively tracks the best horror movies available to stream and in October, these movies are part of FearFest. From frightful new films like Daddy’s Head to monster-sized events like the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, experience the joy of horror with FearFest all October on AMC and AMC+. Check the full FearFest schedule and plan your October movie nights accordingly.
Our #1 streaming pick for this weekend is The Thing (1982), John Carpenter’s classic isolation horror movie about a research team in Antarctica who are hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims. Dripping with paranoia, dread and iconic jumpscares, there is a reason The Thing is a favorite among die-hard horror fans. We have it ranked as the #1 horror movie of the 80s, which is arguably the #1 decade for horror. Catch it airing on AMC this Sunday as part of the “Fear the 80s” marathon, or stream it any time on AMC+.
