FEARnet KICKS OFF THE HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN THIS OCTOBER WITH
FEARtober: 31 DAYS OF TREATS
FEATURING MOVIES, EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOADS, GIVEAWAYS AND MORE
EVERY DAY, ALL MONTH LONG
SANTA MONICA, CA - September 25, 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.
Got home the other day and there was a wonderful box sitting staring at me and I thought I would share... like the inside of a pumpkin here is the guts... I got some great candy corn, some pumpkin stencils, a paper doll and a great day to day calendar that will reveal the Halloween movie of the month on FEARnet!
So have you ever went Trick or Treating and had some kid steal your bag of candy, did you steal a bag of candy... are you one of those kids? Oh I did get the sucker/lolipop that my wife and I are fighting over... she wants to eat it, I want to collect it...
