I am so mad! Me and my daughter were looking for Halloween movies on last night and only a few were on. We watched a couple of them. But I was so upset because I said where is Freddy Kruger? Pumpkin Head? Jason? Halloween one two three four? What ever!! Charlie Brown? Did we miss them Friday and Saturday? Well I am mad because I think the movies should be on at Halloween not before and not after!!!!! Did you notice this? I would have went and rented some but I was not feeling well and I am home sick today.

They gave Halloween this whole week on AMC channel and Jason the whole week before this whole week on AMC channel. Pumpkin Head was on SyFy a few days ago, but it was the second one I think and they only gave it once. They mostly gave good scary movie this year compare to last year, especially Sleepwalkers and Cujo. Haven't seen those two for a long time. Though there wasn't a single Freddy Kruger movie on TV this year. Good thing they didn't gave that one and I wished they would stop giving Halloween and Jason so much cause that's the only movies they give a lot. I want to see more other movies like Hellraiser and Poltergeist, but they never seem to give this movies on TV. But the movies you wanted to see, they were showing. Maybe you don't have the channels or just watched TV at the wrong time.

I was very disappointed YET AGAIN by the halloween TV.
only one of the terestrial channels had anything halloween related, and that was one programme. and there was one horror film on very late. and not even a proper horror film. comedy horror. Black Sheep.
when I was younger the halloween TV was great. they'd have documentaries about true hauntings, the stories behind horror films, horror films themselves. it was fantastic. sadly that was when I was too young to really enjoy all the films like I would if they still did it now.
on the sky/freeview/whatever channels there were a few films. mostly on ones we don't have. I think E4 repeated some top 100 scary film moments programme they trot out every year.
it's been very disappointing.
why the hell can't they, just for one night, put lots of spooky things on for halloween. I just can't grasp why on Earth they wouldn't want to.

I was too disappointed myself why they don't show on the day? The day of Halloween? I hope this doesn't happen at Christmas time too.

We were looking for some to be on tv and found nothing. Though usually Charlie Brown is on ABC like the Tues or Wed before the holiday, not that I paid much attention about it since we have it on video. I was hoping too for a fun family Halloween production to be on atleast & nada.
But you know maybe some of those movies you mentioned are too graphic to show in prime time. However, they do show plenty of other inappropriate shows in prime time so what the difference could be I don't know.

I love Halloween and I love horror movies! It was quite surprising because last night there was a lot of different horror movies being shown. I experienced a last minute problem though in that I lost my cable tv, they could not have chosen a better time! I had set all these reminders for movies like Halloween and I had to accept that I wasn't going to watch this movie!
So, I decided to watch a video, yes I still have those old vhs movies and I selected Demons 2 out of the bunch! Demons 2 was quite popular in the 80s I think, it's definitely an old horror movie but I like the fact that there wasa lot of screaming as well as blood and gore, my kind of stuff! Overall, Halloween was pretty quiet for me, it always is! I don't venture out into the dark beyond!
Anyway, it's all over now and I guess it's guyfawkes night next! Andrew
