AMC FearFest schedule for the final week of October 2022
By Carla Davis
As AMC’s FearFest rolls into its final week for this year, we are being treated to more iconic horror films before the Halloween franchise takes over for the last few days. Sadly, Halloween III: Season of the Witch is nowhere to be found on FearFest during the week leading to the holiday.
Let’s see what FearFest is bringing to us from Monday, October 24 to Tuesday, November 1.
October 24:
Graveyard Shift (9:00 a.m.) – A rat infested textile mill poses unexpected (and terrifying) hazards for the workers sent to clear out the vermin.
