We are just two days from the start of October, which means we are just two days away from the start of AMC’s FearFest, the network’s annual month-long celebration of all things horror.
This year’s AMC FearFest is extra special, as AMC has dug up the corpse of the Crypt Keeper and they’re forcing the beloved horror icon to HOST this year’s FearFest celebration all month!
It makes sense considering the classic HBO television series “Tales from the Crypt” is now streaming on the AMC-owned Shudder, and the series is also playing as part of FearFest!
With presenting sponsor BACARDÍ Rum returning for a second year, the long-running annual horror and genre programming event, featuring over 650 hours of iconic horror films, franchises, new series, specials and more, kicks off Thursday, October 1 on AMC and AMC+.
