Hmm... Check, check, check, check, check... Resurrection.

Awesome news, though.

[MyersFan927]

I'll end up watching the Halloween's, The Excorcist 1 & 3 (I'm dying to see how it's better than the original lmao), and some classics like The Mummy and Frankenstein.

[benluvin]

That's pretty sweet. Usually they play the same old things every yr. I might have to have that station on 24/7 during that wk.

[Turd Ferguson]

Why the fuck no H6 and H20? They were perfectly good movies...IMO, please dont fuckin tell me how you all think H6 and/or H20 sucked, I dont wanna her it

[fatbob]

Awosome line up. Miles better than the last couple of years.

[H-field Hero]

I'm a huge monsterfest fan and I must say WOW, they really went all out this year. Glad to see they've brought Halloweens II and III back for the first time since 2003. Also, I had no clue this thing has been running since 1996. Thats crazy. I never knew about it until 2002.

So glad that the October tradition will continue. Nothing like kicking back on those chilly october days/nights and watching horror films on cable. Old school style .

It has nothing to do with whether or not their good movies. AMC doesn't own the rights to show them. I must admit though, it would be cool as hell if they picked up the rights to H6 and H20 and showed the entire series. They could just drop H:R for all I care heh.

Fucking jaw has dropped. DVD_tv for Halloween! Good lord, I couldn't ask for anymore. For anyone interested in this, make sure you tape it during this airing because it's my experience that they only air their dvd_tv versions one time. I dubbed the Friday the 13th one from last year and learned all kinds of neat stuff that I didn't previously know.

All in all it seems like they're going back to what worked with past monsterfests ala setting an entire day aside for a Halloween film marathon like they similarly did in 2003.

I got a chub.

I'm pretty pumped......now i just have to do something about my damned job, so I can stay home and watch this all week.

Last year was decent. The only one that I felt was under par was 2004. That one was a dissappointment compared the other ones i've seen.

I also just realized that this years will be starting sooner. The 'fest usually runs a week.

[Bennett Tramer]

thanks for the heads up i'll have to mark it on the calendar and watch them all.Halloween is almost here

[temp19]

That is one of the best lineups of horror movies I have ever seen I may have to take vacation just to be able to watch all of them!
