Anyone feel like watching a scary movie?
Permalink  

The network FEARNET just joined the Time Warner Cable line-up.  Sounds pretty good, an on-demand station of scary films.  If you don't have cable (JD) you can watch their on demand movies for free on their website too!

---------------

Fearnet, the horror-movies-on-demand joint venture of Sony Pictures TV, Lionsgate and Comcast, has engineered a carriage deal with Time Warner Cable, marking its biggest transaction since the service opened for business 18 months ago.

"Hostel," "Halloween II," "When a Stranger Calls," "Cujo" and "Rosemary's Baby" are some of the service's current titles, which Fearnet offers for free (with limited commercial interruptions) both in the on-demand platform and on the Fearnet.com website.

The Time Warner deal adds 8.4 million digital subscribers to the Fearnet roster, swelling its total to 29 million.

Fearnet's growth in viewership has spurred it to commission Ghost House Pictures (one of whose partners is Sam Raimi) to produce original scripted miniseries, including "Devil's Trade" and two sequels to the film "30 Days of Night": "Blood Trails" and "Dust to Dust." Sony also produced an original for Fearnet called "Buried Alive."

In any given month, said Diane Robina, president of Fearnet, the service has 40 movies in the mix. Cable operators pay a monthly license fee to Fearnet and use the service as a lure to get more subscribers to buy digital boxes. Time Warner will slot Fearnet in two platforms: in its Cutting Edge on-demand channel (with other networks including Adult Swim, Anime and G4) and in its free-movies-on-demand channel.

Time Warner, Comcast, Cox and Insight are among the cable operators buying Fearnet, eager to try any means to get digital boxes into homes. These boxes are portals for new revenue generators such as high-speed Internet access, telephone service and high-definition VOD.

Advertisers who buy time on Fearnet include Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., Paramount, Fox, Sega, Unilever, Boost Mobile, the U.S. Navy and Hasbro.

I have been watching movies on there since last November, the people on their forum are a bit weird though! It's a good site to watch some cheesey scary movies. smile.gif

I have Comcast, so I have has access to the channel for a while now. I have to say that I don't sit down to watch movies much, so I haven't really checked a lot of it out. I do know one time they were running some Alfred Hitch**** movies. I would have watched, but I wasn't going to be home for them. And it was before I had the DVR.

Cool! I love watching a good scary movie! Unfortunately, nobody around here likes watching them with me. I guess I'll watch the 30 Days of Night sequel all alone. omg.gif

I don't have anyone to watch scary movies with either.

I watched a few of the short things on there yesterday.  The 30 Days of Night looks cool.  I watched some of the Buried Alive, but even though it comes too close to my biggest fear, it was slow enough on the progression that it bored me.

I checked out the forum there a little, but I get the impression that the majority of those people like the slasher films.  I prefer the subtley creepy ones, like ghosts and haunted houses.

I'm not a fan of the slasher films usually either MZ. They don't scare me. It's not very likely that you're gonna walk outside and suddenly find yourself chased by a man with a hacksaw.

Give me a good psychological thriller or ghost story or something. Where when I go to bed at night I can't stop thinking about how "that COULD happen!"

I even remember watching Fright Night at a sleepover at my friend Lisa's house. (This makes me miss Lisa too.) I remember all the bad jokes we cracked during it!

Ooooo, Fright Night!!  I like that movie!  My youngest daughter can't watch it; she did once last year with me on Halloween and had nightmares for a few nights after.  She's easily frightened by certain things.

Hey Mz, do you like Lost Boys?  I liked that for a vampire movie too.  smile

I just watched "The Crow"
Cool movie for the early 90's. I have to look up the soundtrack. They had the Cure, NIN etc.
Brandon Lee was cool. The story was lame. Was the one guy from TypeO or The Mission UK?idea

It's scary in the sense that they're serving Ruth's husband to the customers for Bar-b-que and the investigator looking for him tells them it's the best bar-b-que he's ever had.  weirdface

Love love love The Lost Boys

"Death... by Stereo" biggrin

The Crow is also a favorite of mine. Hard to believe I don't have this on DVD yet. cry

I even dressed up as The Crow at my previous job for Halloween. It was fun to turn around and freak them out biggrin Oh I should say that I worked in the domestics department at Handy Andy. They were not expecting anything.

Oh, I love The Crow! I caught a few episodes of the TV show too, and I liked those. I was never all that interested in the sequels though.

I was watching a bit of "The Two Corey's" (Corey Feldmen and Corey Haim) the other night and it looks like they are coming out with a Lost Boys II. Boy Corey Haim is screwed up now a days!
