It’s because there’s so many good ones,you’ll see similar comments to yours all over. I’ve made them myself,a few great ones are always gonna slip through the cracks. Yet some are popular but no one knows why🤪
Hold on, does anyone remember Turner Classic Movies??? I would love to see a video about that channel as TCM introduced me to some amazing classics back in the early 2000s
I'm not yet 40 but I do like TCM. I've seen a lot of good movies there but the one that always sticks with me is a version of Wizard of Oz feature Oliver Hardy, and not for positive reasons for the most part. The movie surprised me by how the effects (especially the scene with the faerie) really enhance the fantasy of it all, but it's one of the most racist things I've ever seen. They pick up a black character at one point. The black character is played by a white man in blackface and they find his character lounging in an open field eating watermelon. It just gets worse from there. I understand that a century or so has gone by since that version was made and that things were different back then, but holy shit, man.
There still around but I believe they require a special package or subscription now. I used to have access around there last anniversary year where they decide to take viewer requests for movies for that year
I’ll never forget finding out this was a thing. I’m 41, but didn’t grow up with cable. Was delivering pizza in what must’ve been 99/2000 when someone had this on in background. Truly life changing indeed.
I was there for the walking dead premiere, it was like nothing else at the time, everyone at school was talking about it the next day, it was an awesome event to experience.
I really miss those Monster Fests of old,where they would show the classic Universal monsters and Hammer movies. While I still love it today and adore all the classic 80's movies,they don't show many movies before the late 70's.
An amazing breakdown. Nothing was quite like the AMC of the '90s and early 2000s, and I particularly remember enjoying them more when they stayed true to their roots and played more of the Universal horror classics from the '30s-'50s. I totally get that they had to rebrand and change with the times, though. That's the nature of the beast.
Same with Bravo. I remember seeing opera and the episodes of Twin Peaks with the Log Lady intros. Also, many foreign films. Now, it’s just reality TV. It’s a shame.
Bro, you only have 9 videos on you're channel, but you're my favorite RUclips channel. I love when you upload, thanks for all the work you put into these.
This was a awesome throwback to my childhood. I remember scouring the channels around Halloween watching all the specials and movies I could. This also jogged my memory to where I saw Hellraiser for the first time.
You are the first channel to cover monster/fear fest i remember my parents would let us watch it during Halloween or we would sneak it. I remember early morning monster classics. It shaped me to grow up and love horror movies.
This was awesome!!! I didn't become a fan of Monsterfest until its '02 version. I was more of a fun of Usa Network's Halloween movie marathons of the 90's which would air for the entire Halloween weekend in the 80's to late 90's. I would love to see you do a retrospective on Usa Network ( Saturday Nightmares, Commander Usa's Groovie Movies, Usa Up All Night). Thanks for the upload of Monsterfest I really appreciated watching this.
I like how they touted the AMC version of The Prisoner as “original”. I wonder if anyone has done videos about that dumpster fire. The original was so great and of its time…I wish it was left alone. Not even Sir Ian could make it watchable.
Brought back memories of my childhood. Loved this video. I watched these classics with my mom. She introduced me to so many classics. I miss her so much!
Fantastic video man ty! I’m just glad FearFest is still going and it’s a month long now. I was so upset a few years ago when they took two weeks away to give to The Walking Dead. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one as many people were not happy and let AMC know it. AMC had to put out tweet saying FearFest would be back at full power next year and they were. Keep the awesome stuff coming please and ty again!
Being honest, it seems as if Weigel has the old Universal horror flicks. They've been ran on 'Movies!' and were subjects of a few Svengoolie episodes for quite a few months now. For another thing, cable's audience is shrinking, but broadcast is stiff competition with it's wide availability and dirt-cheap installation.
I remember the original monster fest. It was such a good time for me as a kid. I also lament the old AMC, with the original classic films. TCM is going that way too. I'm just glad I have alot of it on disc and can still enjoy it that way
Great vid! I remember my Brother and I actually anticipating this. Like "dude Monsterfest is next week, what tapes can we tape over without getting in trouble?"
This video's awesome. Even though Monsterfest/Fearfest is so bastardized and commercialized now, I still appreciate it. Nice to have a month straight of horror movies to just flick on in October, even though its usually the same like 20 movies over and over. I got sick of those years where they were really shoving TWD down our throats.
I miss when Bravo used to show classy stuff. Now it’s all reality TV. I also wish AMC would show all their new shows on regular cable and not just AMC+. :/
22:00 I'm pretty sure you meant that Zach Snyder's 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead premiered and not the original since the rights of the original are now owned by one of the producers who is notoriously stingy about making it available to watch.

RUclips is so strange. I watch many channels with the exact same quality and 1000x the subs - your channel is fantastic and deserves some more love.
It’s because there’s so many good ones,you’ll see similar comments to yours all over. I’ve made them myself,a few great ones are always gonna slip through the cracks. Yet some are popular but no one knows why🤪
So excited to see a video about this. Young Redditors called me nuts for insisting there was ever a “Monsterfest” but this was peak Halloween! 👻🎃
Why?
You’re nuts! N.U.T.S!

Yep, bumpers for it was shoved down my throat while I was watching "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo."

Are they not still around?
There still around but I believe they require a special package or subscription now. I used to have access around there last anniversary year where they decide to take viewer requests for movies for that year
MonsterFest is so important to me, and a huge reason for my love of classic films today. Thank you for creating this!
The production quality and script for this video is so solid bro be proud of your work!
I’ll never forget finding out this was a thing. I’m 41, but didn’t grow up with cable. Was delivering pizza in what must’ve been 99/2000 when someone had this on in background. Truly life changing indeed.
They really need to show the classic movies in prime time again.
I was there for the walking dead premiere, it was like nothing else at the time, everyone at school was talking about it the next day, it was an awesome event to experience.
I remember this as a kid. Wow. Love it!!

Somewhere deep in my parents basement lie the tapes from the Godzilla marathon. Core memory unlocked!
Thanks for mentioning our show Ravenswood!!!!
I love when things had that 90s video store vibe. Grab a 2 liter of Pepsi , some Cooler Ranch Doritos and watch some monster flicks

Now Freeform does 31 days of Halloween, but it isn’t the same. :/
good job by the way
Dawn 04 was a Snyder film, not Romero
You know, I forgot that version of Dawn existed. Loved the original. :)
Criminally underrated channel
Would love to see a video dedicated to 13/31 Nights of Halloween next spooky season
I never really watched monsterfest/fearfest much but I did usually try to catch scifi original movies when they were still around
Super freaking cool man, thank you
Love your channel. Please keep 'em coming.
This is a great video and I can't wait for more!
TV around Halloween time used to fuckin' rock, dude.
I miss when Bravo used to show classy stuff. Now it’s all reality TV. I also wish AMC would show all their new shows on regular cable and not just AMC+. :/
Can you make a video about TNT and why it was heavily invested in martial arts film?
Does anyone remember Fear Friday?
Bill "Moo-Mee"
Romero... Dawn of the dead, 2004?
Didn't TNT do something similar?

21:55
You mean Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead?
No one can match monster vision
Plot twist walking dud is actually lame and banal but try to convince the sheeple of that.
