Once upon a time, there was just AMC’s Fear Fest. These days, horror is “in” – Jordan Peele is making horror movies and winning Oscars, horror is taking over tv as well.

TV execs are taking the hint, and it seems like every channel is getting into the Halloween spirit this year. Here are a few of them. I’ll update this post as more programming is announced.

Be afraid, be very afraid! The legendary Cult Classic All-Nighter is back for another frightful night of cult horror movies, copious amounts of caffeine and body clock destruction. Our Halloween programme this year has four screen themes: classic horror anniversaries, 3D horror, VHS screenings, and some wild times. Don’t forget you can also JOIN US beforehand in our Bar Cafe for our Spooktacular Halloween Party. Read More here

• Gary Dauberman spoke to  /Films about Annabelle 3:
  

  “Annabelle 3 is going to go before cameras mid-October so I’m deep in prep on that now. We’re bringing the franchise back home after being so far away in Romania. It’s set in the Warrens’ house. It’s what happens when Annabelle comes into the artifact room. Much like Swamp Thing, what happens when Annabelle comes into the artifact room and how she affects her environment.”

From the Press Release: LOS ANGELES, CA – CineLife Entertainment, the event cinema division of Spotlight Cinema Networks, has teamed up with Compass International Pictures and Trancas International Films to bring John Carpenter’s seminal 1978 classic back to select theatres worldwide beginning September 27, 2018.

In the film, the villain, Michael Myers, has spent the last 15 years locked away inside a sanitarium under the care of child psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis. On October 30, 1978, Myers escapes and makes his way back home to Haddonfield, turning a night of tricks and treats into something much more sinister for three young women, including Laurie Strode, the star-making role for Jamie Lee Curtis. Watch the trailer.

The original Halloween will be released on over 1,000 screens in more than twenty countries across the globe. “I’m thrilled to have the original make its way back into theatres, as we prepare for the release of the sequel. Having both back in theatres this fall is remarkable,” says director John Carpenter.

Fans will be treated to view big screen presentations of the restored and remastered digital print, created under the supervision of the world-renowned cinematographer, Dean Cundey.

“We are thrilled to be a part of the 40th anniversary celebration, working with Compass International Pictures and Trancas International Films, to bring the most fear-provoking and enduring horror movies of all time to cinema screens around the globe,” said Mark Rupp, Managing Director, CineLife Entertainment.

The release of John Carpenter’s Original Halloween comes just ahead of the release of Halloween (2018) – the direct sequel to John Carpenter’s classic. Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle reprise their roles as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, respectively. It is set for release on October 19th, a week before the 40th anniversary of the original Halloween release date.

The 10 episode first season of The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina premieres on Netflix on October 26.

Sabrina is wrestling to reconcile her dual nature as a half-witch, half-mortal while fighting the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit. Sabrina Spellman is described as an empowered young woman — half-human, half-witch — who is just beginning her dark education as a sorceress, even as she tries to maintain a normal life as a sophomore at Baxter High. Intelligent, compassionate and brave to the point of recklessness, Sabrina is all that stands between us and the forces of darkness that threaten our world.

Kiernan Shipka (“Mad Men”) is Sabrina Spellman, a new take on the character originally played by Melissa Joan Hart.
