Do you hear that? It’s the screams of this year’s AMC FearFest lineup.
The spooky movie marathon kicks off on Thursday, October 1 with all-day marathons of iconic horror films franchises, new series and festive specials. It runs throughout the entire month of October on AMC and AMC+.
The first teaser for AMC FearFest 2026 was posted earlier this month, promising a ton of cult classics, iconic slashers and ghoulish ghost stories. And now we have the full list. It's looking particularly scary with daily themes like: "Slasher Sunday," "Run Michael Run," "Final Destination Double Feature" and "Freddy vs. Jason."
RECOMMENDED: Watch the official trailer for the upcoming season of American Horror Story
You can see the 2026 AMC FearFest teaser below, featuring this year's host, the legendary Crypt Keeper! It's the first time since 1996 that the character has graced our screens since Tales From the Crypt ended. Voiced by John Kassir, and puppet creator Greg Nicotero (Creepshow, Guts & Glory) re-created the freaky puppet for the Crypt Keeper segments for FearFest—complete with the character's signature cackle and wit.
