On Friday, October 17, AMC's annual horror movie marathon FearFest makes its return to TV.

FearFest will kick off its 18th year with a Stephen King Marathon, beginning with "Graveyard Shift" (1990) at 9am PT.

AMC will also feature other King classics like "Cujo" (1983) and 1984's "Children of the Corn," which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

On October 18, all four films in the "Tremors" series, starring Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, and Reba McEntire, will be airing beginning at 10am.

At noon the following day (Sunday, October 19), AMC will be showcasing all things Chucky-related.

On October 20 and 21, the infamous Jason Voorhees will get his chance in the spotlight as AMC will be airing the "Friday the 13th" franchise in its entirety, with the exception of the seventh film in the series "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood" (1988).

Beginning at 4pm, "The Omen" franchise will be showcased on Friday, October 24.

And how could FearFest possibly be complete without a "Halloween" marathon?

AMC will be featuring the first six movies in the franchise from Monday, October 27 through Wednesday, October 29, beginning at 7pm each night and will then be re-aired continuously through October 31. 

In between all of these marathons, AMC will also air other horror movie favorites, including "A Nightmare On Elm Street" (1984), "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997), and 1958's "Corridors of Blood," starring classic horror movie star Boris Karloff.
