Halloween TV/Movie Schedule (Canadian version)

Get your DVR ready because there are a ton of horror movies and Halloween-themed TV episodes airing in the next few days. TV.com already has a pretty comprehensive list, but since I live in Canada and don't get a lot of the channels featured, I thought I would compile a list of movies and TV shows featuring channels available in Canada.

And the winner of Scream Queens Season 2 is...

GABBY!

I am thrilled that Gabby won Scream Queens. I've been rooting for her since the very beginning and still cheered for her despite a few poor performances in the director's challenges. I knew she could overcome those to win.

It was still a bit of a surprise when Gabby won because Jessica has been consistently good throughout the competition. But Gabby definitely did a better job in the final director's challenge. I felt very "meh" about Jessica's last two performances.

I wasn't planning on watching Saw 3D, but now I can't wait!

WTF FEARnet?!

So I just went on the FEARnet website to watch a movie and all that comes up is a black screen saying: "The video you are trying to watch cannot be viewed from your current country or location." Um, I've been watching movies on FEARnet since I discovered it in JULY! And suddenly in October I can't watch them anymore because I live in Canada.

Canadians get gypped when it comes to horror T.V. Our horror channel Scream just changed to Dusk, a thriller/suspense channel, while Americans get Chiller and SyFy. And just look at this post from the awesome blog Day of the Woman. She gives a rundown of the Halloween horror movie marathons on American television. SyFy is having 31 Days of Halloween, ABC Family is airing 13 Nights of Halloween, TCM is showing 48 Hours of Horror and AMC has Fearfest.

Here's what Canadians have to look forward to. Our version of the SyFy channel, Space will be airing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake and Halloween II on October 31. Dusk has a few okay movies playing during the week before Halloween. I'll probably watch Terror Train and The Watcher in the Woods. On Halloween night CTV will be showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Mothman Prophecies. The rest of the Canadian channels I looked at didn't have their schedules for October 31 up yet, but none of them are showing horror movies this week. Why can't any Canadian channels have Halloween movie marathons like the American channels listed above?

Sorry, for the rant. My point is that FEARnet was the one place I could actually watch horror movies but now I can't. Oh well I guess I buy enough horror DVDs to watch anyway. I'm just going to make my own horror movie marathon. That's what I usually do anyway, but it would be nice to have a few good movies on T.V. to watch. I'll have to choose which ones I'm going to watch and post my list later.

T.V. NEWS: Dusk

So, I just got my monthly newsletter from the Scream Channel. Here's what it said:

On September 9, SCREAM will change to become DUSK, a new channel featuring supernatural, thriller and suspense-based Hollywood feature films and television series seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

We're kicking things off with 9 network premieres over 9 nights, with films starring Jodi Foster, Scarlett Johansson, Glenn Close, Morgan Freeman, Ryan Gosling and more.

Fans of the supernatural can catch the network premiere of Showtime series Poltergeist: The Legacy at 6 pm ET on September 9.

And for all you horror lovers, DUSK will offer late-night, commercial-free blocks featuring terror and cult favourites such as The Thing, Jeepers Creepers, Pet Cemetery, Army of Darkness and Dr. Giggles.

I can't believe this is happening. Scream was my favourite channel. And now they're only going to show horror late at night? And to give you a taste of their quality programming, here are a few of the first movies to air. The Black Dahila (that horrible movie with Scarlett Johansson), Angel Eyes (that crap movie where J.Lo is a cop) and The Net (starring Sandra Bullock). Will someone please make a Canadian horror movie channel that actually shows good movies?
