So, I know that there are some fans of the Horror genre that frequent CBM and we are heading into the best time of year for fans of darkness. It's no secret that AMC's The Walking Dead will be premiering on Halloween night, but leading up to the much anticipated graphic novel adaptation, AMC will be airing it's two-week-long "Fear Fest"n in which fans can view anything from the original Night of the Living Dead to all nine Friday the 13th films! STYD has put together an airing schedule for many of the films you can enjoy.

Along with film showings, they will be airing new interview segments. "Killer Conversations" will feature discussions with some of the genres most well known figures including Wes Craven and make-up artist Greg Nicotero. "New Blood" will profile new and upcoming stars and directors in the horror genre. They will highlight actors like Shawnee Smith and writer/director James Gunn.

FANBOY IMAGE SHORTS
Airing during AMC Fearfest, the network will feature a series of ten comedic shorts, which showcase two fanboys parodying horror film classics from Friday the 13th and Pet Sematary to The Shining and Halloween.

I like the last 3 premiers. Those classics, though, wow. Excellent roster and excellent find @Ecks.

AMC and Chiller Network are kick-ass this time of year. I love watching these types of movies. I cried a tear of happiness when I saw the list of classics.

The two interview series could be interesting as well. I'm hoping Bravo does another "Scariest Moments in Film Series" too. Those are cool. There is always something I haven't seen on those!

As great as some of those features are, what everyone really needs to catch this Halloween time is IFC's premiere of the UK series "Dead Set". If you're in the UK you've probably already caught it, but a lot of people here in the states haven't and it is fantastic! IFC will be playing the 5 episodes of the series starting October 25th through October 29th at midnight (ET/PT) and a marathon of the entire series on Halloween night starting at 8pm (ET/PT). If you like zombie films DO NOT miss this!

Been playing Dead Rising 2 non stop waiting for this show. Will I be ready for the Zombie Apocalypse? Maybe I'd better read World War Z one more time. Thank you Geek Sexy for the heads up. I'm gonna catch that.
With all this research, I think I will be ready. Bring it on!
