AMC Fearfest begins Saturday, Oct. 13th!

My heart melts for AMC jumping aboard the Halloween programming wagon this year. And with the network's rise in horror-related content and geekery, it makes more sense than ever. Especially when you find out which AMC show-runner is hosting the television event: Kevin Smith! Already making a guest appearance on this season of Syfy's Face Off, Smith has been weaving his way in and out of the Halloween mediaverse this autumn.

I've posted the extensive lineup for AMC Fearfest below (in EST)--and it's the most impressive I've seen this season! For more details and film information, visit the AMC Fearfest website. (I thought it appropriate to include The Walking Dead below as well.)
