Freeform’s 13 Nights of Halloween Begins Tonight; Full Schedule
Who doesn’t love a good horror marathon on TV?!
October is the greatest, and networks like AMC and Syfy are a big part of the reason why. Sure, the movies they air may be edited for content, but just being able to turn on the TV and watch a steady stream of horror movies is something special that I enjoy each and every October. And AMC’s FearFest and Syfy’s 31 Days of Halloween aren’t the only small screen marathons that help make the weeks leading up to Halloween extra enjoyable.
Freeform, formerly ABC Family, just announced the full schedule for their annual 13 Nights of Halloween programming block, which begins TONIGHT and runs straight through the big day. The spooky marathon first became a staple of the network way back in 1998, and was a direct answer to the success of their Christmas-themed marathon.
Read on for the full 2016 schedule, which includes fan favorite films like Hocus Pocus, Corpse Bride, Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow and even The Final Girls!

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
