When and Where to Watch the Halloween Movies on Halloween

“It’s Halloween. Everyone’s entitled to one good scare.” Or ten. Halloween is upon us, which means two things: the return of Michael Myers, and the end of AMC’s month-long FearFest. The network’s annual block of horror programming will conclude with the 10-movie Halloween on Halloween Marathon on Oct. 31, followed by a Halloween Hangover on Nov. 1.

AMC will air the Halloween movies out of timeline order starting at 1 a.m. on Halloween, with the all-day marathon featuring repeat airings of John Carpenter’s original 1978 classic about escaped mental patient Michael Myers (Nick Castle) — a.k.a. the Shape — stalking babysitter Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) as he’s hunted by his psychiatrist, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence), on Halloween night.
