If you are a fan of horror movies and TV shows and you’re NOT a cord cutter, then you will not want to miss AMC Fear Fest 2023, the network’s annual celebration of all things spooky and scary.

AMC Fear Fest 2023, presented by Shudder, will feature over 700 hours of films, series and specials hand-curated by Shudder for the first time ever. The event will span across September and October and will include new programming from Shudder as well as iconic horror classics you’ve come to know from the premiere celebration of spooky season on cable TV.

The countdown to Fear Fest began on September 1 with Shudder’s 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments of All Time, a series that counts down the most terrifying scenes in horror history, every Friday at 11:00 p.m. on AMC. The last week of September will feature a primetime takeover of horror movies every night of the week, including the Scream and Halloween franchises, as well as Stephen King classics like The Shining and Firestarter.
