(SANTA MONICA, CA – SEPTEMBER 10, 2013) –
FEARnet is taking over the Halloween scene this October, with “FEARtober: 31 Days of Treats,” serving up 31 days of movies,
short films, exclusive downloadable content, polls, and prizes, highlighted by the fan-favorite 24-hour
TRICK ‘R TREAT Marathon on Thursday, October 31.
Putting
a unique twist on holiday traditions, FEARnet has created an online
advent calendar detailing the multitude of offerings
fans can enjoy as they count down to Halloween. Throughout the month,
fans will be able to head to FEARnet.com for Halloween polls, free
themed movies, and downloadable content featuring
TRICK ‘R TREAT and TALES FROM THE CRYPT-themed pumpkin carving stencils, as well as e-cards and paper dolls depicting
TRICK ‘R TREAT’s iconic
pint-sized mascot, Sam. The website will also be streaming a variety of
short films, including a series of shorts made exclusively for FEARnet
by
TRICK ‘R TREAT creator Michael Dougherty, illustrating the rules
of Halloween, and the gruesome consequences that await those who choose
to ignore them.
Additionally,
with the Free Stuff FEARtober Sweepstakes, fans will be able to enter
for a chance to win daily giveaways, with prizes
such as DVDs of TALES FROM THE CRYPT (Oct. 2), the FRIDAY THE 13th Collection (Oct. 13), and the
SAW Box Set (Oct. 26); GEARS OF WAR 3 and BIOSHOCK videogames (Oct. 24); a special
TRICK ‘R TREAT giveaway (Oct. 31); and much more! There will also
be a “Day of the Dead” Sweepstakes from Tuesday, Oct. 1 to Monday, Nov.
4, with a loaded prize pack featuring a 40” LED EX620 Smart TV and a
Bloggie Touch Camera.
On
FEARnet’s linear channel, viewers will be able to enjoy a crop of genre
hits to get them into the Halloween spirit. Featured films
include the beloved ‘80s classic THE MONSTER SQUAD (Oct.
6), as a group of preteens must save their town—and the world—from a
team of horror’s greatest villains; the found-footage shocker
THE LAST EXORCISM (Oct. 16), about a fraudulent preacher who finds the Devil in the details;
DETENTION, starring Dane Cook and Josh Hutcherson, a genre-bender that mixes high school drama with slasher flick thrills and time travel; the supernatural smash,
INSIDIOUS, about parents (Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne) whose son is trapped in the realm of the dead known as “The Further”; and
TRICK ‘R TREAT (Oct. 31), the acclaimed anthology series where killers, ghouls, and werewolves converge for Halloween night mischief.
