Like many others have commented, I too look forward to getting immersed in the "monster lore" during Halloween week and Monsterfest, now Fearfest garnered alot of my classic horror movie viewing.
Unlike many of my contemporaries, I would rather watch the "classics' such as the original Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Creature from the Black Lagoon and later movies staring these very same tried and true monster villians as opposed to the talentless slasher movies where acting is absent and blood & gore rule.
I even value the large insect, lizard and animal genre B movies over the slashers. This yr, I even enjoyed those free down load B horror flicks over the constant replaying of many of the more modern flicks shown this yr.
I would recommend to start the week off with tthe oldest classic flicks and work them up to the more modern flicks at Halloween. Cut back on the replays and give us more of them corney B rated horror flicks. Sometimes theres jewels lurking in those B's.
Looking forward to next yr.

Was anybody else disappointed with the graphics for Fearfest this year?
Not only do I look forward to the movies, but I also look forward to the Fearfest graphics. I though it sucked that they recycled the ones from last year to this year.

Every year i look forward to the week of horror films on AMC. I'm not gonna go off on a rant cause it has pretty much been said in another post , but this years films were lame. It seemed like every time i turned to the channel it was the same film from the night before...i.e "house on hanuted hill", or it's lame sequel. I am curious as to why they dont mix up the films..i mean you have stuff on at 2-3-4am that would be a change from the same old repeated films from the night or day before. I'd take a "Halloween 3" before another tired showing of parts 4-5, and wheres "Halloween 2"...again missing from the line up. Last but not least...enough with the ads at the bottom left of the screen telling everyone that MADMEN is on...ok, we get it...we dont need it shoved down our faces after every commercial break.
