I hope that is The Prophecy with the evil angel and not the Prophecy with the mutated bear killing humans.

Dang, I wanted to make another copy of the Halloween II television cut too. Oh well, at least I see some other interesting additions this year.

While it is one of my favorites, I haven't seen Silver bullet in quite a while. I'll have to be sure to watch that one.

sorry about the grammer, i was in a hurry.

[Chomp_on_this]

WTF!? No Army of Darkness either?!? BOOOO!!!!. Why didn't they get rid of Pinata: SI or Mimic 2? Now those movies suck! It's just not going to be the same without a Halloween II TV cut this year...Damn.

Nice additions are The Omen and Puppet Master though. I'll tune in for those! I'll even probably end up watching They Live for the 203850984509790254th time on AMC. :rolleyes:

And add some more Halloween, and other good horror/monster movies in there. Nothing against Godzilla, but if they have those movies playing, stick to the original and maybe some recent ones.

btw h2 tv cut and h3 tv cut r on scifi on halloween.. tape it..

[H-Field Hero]

I wish AMC was showing more halloween in this years monsterfest, but it's no biggy I guess. What makes up for this is the fact that USA apparently is going to air Halloween. YESSSS! I'll finally get my halloween tv cut dub.

[MischievousSpirit]

Halloween II and III are replaced by movies like Mimic 2 and Scream 2? Ew. What are they thinking?! It's great that Sci Fi is playing Halloween II and III, but they belong more to the AMC Monsterfest than Mimic 2 and Scream 2 in my opinion. Just EW! Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Yeah, when I think halloween/fall season I don't really think mimic 2 and scream 2 lol. Is mimic even horror? Isnt' it like sci fi?

Exactly my point!

[TaddSays]

I'm sure it's all a matter of money. The stations buy the rights to play the movies. AMC buys so many movies for the season, so they go for sequels and b movies to fill up time because they are cheaper. On the other hand, USA prob spent alot of money on Halloween, but not much on other movies. It's not really that AMC decided that the fans would rather watch Mimic 2 than H2, just business. Each year monsterfest gets worse, so I'm guessing the ratings are falling. Three years ago it started to go downhill, but this last year sucked bad. I'm glad I have alot of horror dvd at least. And I doubt that Spike will play the Friday movies. I haven't seen them on there for a long long time. Unless someone has some comfirmation, I'm afraid they have given that up already. And the dvd boxset will be out by then anyways. I'm still hoping for some short screamers though, those are great. Too bad they won't have an hour devoted to them like 2 years ago w/John Carpenter. That was awesome.

[theoutfieldguy]

Halloween 4 and 5 instead of 2?For fucks sake!

[Todd]

No Halloween 2? What are those wienies thinking? You're telling me they couldn't have fit it in somewhere?

[atomic dog]

well it's an ok lineup. but why can't they show the movies in order or at least some of the sequels. they have only phantasm2, what about 1, 3-4?

[Todd]

Yeah, but it's HALLOWEEN, for the love of common sense!
You'd think they could have put H2 into the lineup, especially since most people like it better than H5.

It features a mutant bug that takes the form of a human. I don't remember the exact happenings of what went on in the movie, but I think it could be classified as a monster movie and be shown on Monsterfest. But the movie itself sucks anyway.

[Jenn]

Wow, I can't think of a Halloween I *didn't* watch H2 on AMC...

Thanks for the Sci-Fi and USA listings totempoll :)

well tnt and tbs only have up 2 oct 12 right now, ill check spike and fx but i doubt spike has anything

[totempoll]

spike and fx dont show yet either up to ooct 31

[ILoveHalloween3]

"Halloween II & III" are way better than any of those movies on the list. "Halloween 4 & 5" & "Phantasm II" are the only pardons. Even "Psycho III" sucked major ass.

[totempoll]

well watch em on scifi :)

[ILoveHalloween3]

Spike TV usually runs "Friday The 13th Parts I-VIII" on Halloween.

That's usually, I don't know what they're doing this year.

im not a fan of f13, but i think the f13 fans would enjoy that.. maybe they will put the halloweens?

[Midnight Wolfie]

i'll update some other liistings when the time gets closer. If anyone has another listings that wasn't shown here tell me and i'll look it up if i can later :eek:

[atomic dog]

i wouldn't.

I don't think they have the rights to any of the "Halloween" films.

Of the franchise films, I believe they've got the rights to the first eight "Friday The 13th" films, and the original "Nightmare On Elm Street", and that's it.

[atomic dog]

yeah there you go. how about a night or just originals? like h1, noes1, f131, etc...

[King Sly Joker]

I know,damn they really dropped the ball...

[JWILL2]

if theres not enough michael on TV on halloween ill resort to my DVD's lol

[boogeyman87]

I've never seen the tv cut of Halloween II so i hope sci-fi's version is that. I want to see it. :(

[atomic dog]

i own it.

[H-Field Hero]

After giving that monsterfest line up a quick look, I'll admit that I'm pretty dissappointed. Since i'm pretty much strictly halloween when it comes to horror films, I basically judge monsterfest by how much they'll be airing the halloween films. MF 2002 was awesome, last years was pretty good too, but this looks a bit lame. But like I said before, at least i'll beable to finally dub H1 from usa and have the true tv cut.

[Jackolantern99]

Oh snap, that pisses me off. I almost fell off my chair when I was watching H2 on AMC and the room explodes and Jimmy slips in the puddle. I was in a "what...the fuck..." stage for the rest of the night.

Heh. I'll be having my own Halloween marathon this year anyway. All 8 "Halloween" movies, "Friday the 13th" marathon, Scream, Ginger Snaps 1, 2, and 3, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, TCM 1, 2, 3, and Next Generation, Exorcist, Hellraiser, Children of the Corn, and some other classics....


...obviously I'll be starting a few days early :)

[Todd]

We need to contact those AMC goons and let them know that not airing Halloween 2 during monsterfest is unacceptable.

[H-Field Hero]

It not only sucks, it doesn't make sense. The whole monster fest concept is about the Halloween holiday. Why the **** wouldn't they show as many of the Halloween movies as they are capable of?
I wish I knew how to contact AMC because I would certainly let them have a little piece of my mind.

[loomis6]

Well you would of thought they'd drop H5 instead of H2. I am rather excited about The amityville horror though.

Well i've seen "Halloween II" on Sci-Fi before, quite a few times, and sorry to tell you this, but ... it's always the theatrical version.

AMC is the only station to air the TV-Cut. USA, TNT, TBS, & Sci-Fi (all the other stations i've watched it on), all air the Theatrical Cut.

Which is why I am so p'od about AMC's decision not to show H2.

[Jackolantern99]

Who says it's their decision? Maybe they just lost the rights to show the film?

EDIT: Anyone have any clue what FX will be showing this Halloween? I know H20 (the TV cut) was on their list last year, as well as the original Halloween and a few other good movies.

[It's Neal]

OK so do all channels start their marathon on the 24 or is that just AMC?

Just AMC. No other channel that I know of has a week-long Halloween marathon.

The lack of H2-3 on AMC this year is pure madness.

Indeed. It's especially sad to find out they're not going to be on because I lost my VHS of the H2 tv cut. I was really looking forward to MonsterFest until this thread was made to deliver the bad news.

They would show 2 halloween films per night leading up to the 31st, then on that day, starting in the morning they would play the cycle 2, 3, 4, 5. Then they would just start the cycle over lol. I loved it.

That's what I'm talking about. That was awesome.
Either they lost the rights to H2 and H3, or they've lost their minds. If they do have the rights to H2-3 then what possible excuse could they have for not showing them this halloween season??????????

[atomic dog]

and way can't they show h1?

You're right, it's confusing. Airing H2-5 is a tradition each year on AMC. I can't believe they're not going to air 2 and 3, I'm really pissed now.

i ment on halloween, spike would put halloween

[Midnight Wolfie]

Monsterfest is going downhill "fumble" like I said. If they dont show any short screamers i might not even watch monsterfest then and go watch USA or Spike or Sci-Fi.

Sorry if I offended you in any way. I'll rephrase what I said. In my opinion, last years monsterfest wasn't as good as previous years. I guess I'm just comparing the amount of movies I liked. I still respect that AMC does this for horror fans, I'm was just disappointed that the movies weren't as good. In 2002, we had H2, H3, H4, H5, predator, and all of the Universal Monsters. I felt this lineup was very strong. We also saw the short screamers and had a whole hour hosted by John Carpenter himself. They had interactive games where you could win free stuff, and they did the Backstory:Halloween that was really good. Then last year came. We still had the Halloween sequels, but that's about it. I'm not sure on how long they have been doing it, but I do remember years back watching the universal monsters and other greats. I've also read alot of posts on the amctv.com boards from longtime fans speaking of years I didn't get to watch.

[xmiserysignalsx]

I don't know about all of you but I really was happy with last year's line-up. There was a really good combination of newer films as well as a bunch of old classics. All I have to say is, "Where is The Funhouse?" Tobe Hooper movies=fun. I haven't looked at the official schedule but last year it was basically a Halloween marathon all day on the '31st. That's sweet that sci-fi is play Night of the Living Dead. That movie is never on the tube probably because it still holds up as a violent shocking movie today...but that's another story.

I'll agree that 2002 was better than last years, but still 2003's MF had the short screamers, Clive Barker hosting the actual short screamers show (JC was 02'). I'll admit I can't remember exactly, but i'm pretty damn sure they had the "play and win" games last year. I generally don't pay them too much mind, but there still fun to have.

[Todd]

Does anybody know why AMC isn't showing H2 or H3 this year during monsterfest? I noticed that the Sci-fi channel is showing H3. Did AMC lose the rights to H2 and H3, or did they just decide for some stupid reason not to show the movies?

[Chomp_on_this]

I have all the halloween movies on DVD too, but there's just something about watching them on satellit or cable knowing that there are a bunch of other people watching it too.

[MyersFan927]

Since it seems as if we will not be seeing H2-3 on television on AMC, and I have in fact lost my copy of the H2 AMC tv cut, I was wondering if anybody here can make me a DVD copy of their tv cut or duplicate their videotape for me? Of course I'd pay for the copy, and I really need it as part of my collection.

[Roswell]

I really watch my H2 VHS more than my TV Cut, so if I find it, maybe I could give it to you

Plus this movie has good atmosphere and it's fun to watch during the month of October if you live in a climate area whose fall mirrors that of Haddonfield... like me :)

[fanatic986]

Wow, alot of these movies I've never seen. Sounds interesting. And so what if they only show Halloween 2,4,5. Its not like you've never seen them before.

[cmork2000]

Well....as always, I'm a day late and a dollar short. Thanks to atomic dog for not chewing my head off for making another thread about this. Yeah....AMC really fucked up by not showing the television cut of Halloween 2 this year. What were they thinking?

[Boogeyman1978]

I think they've got a pretty solid lineup for this years Monster Fest, and the other programs that are on around Halloween every year. I for one, can safely say im not bummed out because i already have H2 tv cut on DVD and vhs. I got the DVD at the 25th Anniversary con last year!

As for the rest of the movies, looks like im gonna need a shit load of VHS tapes this year..lol. God I love this time of year!

[MichaelMyers]

Halloween 2 and 3 will be on Sci-Fi this year.

[MyersFan927]

Originally posted by MichaelMyers

Not as good. :( Halloween II on Sci-Fi doesn't show us the television cut, just the theatrical cut with the usual elements ommitted (language, nudity, gore). At least H2/3 on Sci-Fi is better than nothing, though.

[Annie]

I'm THERE, baby!!! When does it all start?

[Midnight Wolfie]

After seeing the previews on tv monster fest doesn't look to bad.....

[Todd]

Oh well. I've got all the movies on DVD anyway, but there's just something about watching them on tv.

What the hell??! No horror movies on Halloween is absurd to say the least. Halloween day should be flooded with scary movies but that never happens. I don't get it.

tell me about. If spike dont show any friday movies.......

[Midnight Wolfie]

Its coming can't you feel it monsterfest! Im ready

[deedeepage]

I HATE THAT AMC ISN'T HAVING THE HALLOWEEN MARATHON THIS YEAR. AT LEAST WE'LL GET TO ENJOY OTHER HORROR CLASSICS IT WON'T BE THE SAME THOUGH.

[H-Field Hero]

Looks like things are getting kicked off tomorrow morning with monsterfest 2004. First on the docket: The omen.

I was checking out the listing and it appears they're showing a backstory for the omen this year, but it's only listed at 30 minutes, which is a little dissapointing.

Not nearly as much halloween being showed this year, but eh, times gotta change I guess. I miss the 2002, 2003 years where they showed them like crazy.

[MischievousSpirit]

This is why I'm glad I have the whole series on DVD. So I can watch 'em all in the order that I want, and when I want. :)

Widescreen format, the way there intended to be seen and optimal audio. But there's something about watching them on tv around halloween time.

[Franchise]

Come next year, you may see all the old Halloweens come back if H9 gets its release. Everything goes in cycles. When popularity is down, they don't show it as much. New movie=more play time

Good point Mike, didn't think of it that way.

[Cruel Intentions]

I printed the scedule from the website.

My VCR is going to be busy taping!

I'll be taping The Omen, Scream 2, Amityville Horror, and more!

[Pharmdee]

Hey guys,

Just thought I would let you know that there are other horror movies playing on most of the before mentioned channels on
oct 29th oct30th as well as halloween. although I have seen no channel's besides AMC,SCI fi, and USA playing any of the Halloween movies. perhaps local stations will also carry various horror films oct 29th-31st(hopefully some halloween). I was also looking at the THC website (The horror channel) and I am not sure what areas if any, It is available in. I can't believe some of the networks are not playing any horror movies at all on halloween, very sad. Anywho, if anyone has any more info on the horror channel or local horror movie listing in various areas please list them.

Thanks.

[Chomp_on_this]

I just have to say that AMC Monsterfest sucks the big one so far.

[TheCurse]

What channel is that whole monster-fest on in Canada?

And yes, this years monsterfest was a little hokey. My reasoning is that I'm used to watching basically nothing but halloween films on it, not the stuff they showed. Decent effort, hopefully they'll revert back to more halloween films next year.

This wasn't the best monsterfest ever, but I wouldn't call it the worse. It was nice seeing Silver Bullet included.

[Beetlescott]

I was disapointed to see so many repeats this year. I was also disapointed to see the omission of the classics. Tarantula and some of the old campy horror movies were gone! I was very disapointed! On Sunday, I started my own Monsterfest and played all my old black and white movies......
