FearNet has a couple of things going on over at their joint that may be of interest to you. This first is an original streaming animated series called Mari-Kari, starring Shannen Doherty in a dual role. The other is 20 free horror movies they have available this week.
Mari-Kari revolves around twin sisters, Mari, who is bright and bubbly…and alive; and Kari, who is none of those things. Whenever someone is mean to Mari at school, Kari exacts bloody revenge. Two two-minute episodes have been premiering every week since June 3rd, for a total of eight episodes through next week.

I would really love FearNet if they had more than fifty to sixty movies in their rotation over the past couple of years. Also, they showed an edited version of the original Toxic Avenger. Not cool.
I've had problems with their player & support (last ten minutes not there, no response or fix.) They could mix up what they play more, God knows Lionsgate owns enough horror movies of little commercial value.
Such a fantastic lineup. My goodness, where should I begin?!
What? No Wishmaster 2????
I want to see that but Devin made me feel guilty about torrenting. CURSE YOU FEARNET AND CURSE YOU EFFORT.
Dead Alive is my jam, no joke. The rest, meh.
There being a horror movie channel is like finding a Christmas tree in your house loaded with presents and then, seeing this list of movies, finding every present is socks.
Yeah, there's a reason those movies are free except DEAD ALIVE (aka Braindead) – Peter Jackson's best film and in my Top 10 all time fave VHS watches of the 90s. If you haven't seen it theh don't watch it from here – do yourself a favour and purchase on DVD, or even better locate a VHS copy of it, get some snackage in and have yuorself a damned good time.
FearNet is a fantastic concept with mediocre execution. They're a horror movie channel that only shows a rotating crop of about 50-60 horror films, most of which are shit. Out of these 20 films listed the only ones worth seeing are DEAD ALIVE (campy, cult classic), WISHMASTER (fun), RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD III (fun), HOSTEL II (decent, but not great), and BLACK WATER (creepy little "crocodile" movie in the vein of the better-known ROGUE). There's also a lot of crap on this list that you should avoid watching: ROUTE 666, AMERICAN PSYCHO 2, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 2007, MISBEGOTTEN, BROTHERHOOD OF BLOOD, the WISHMASTER sequels, and HOUSE OF THE DEAD. I can't really comment on the other films cuz I haven't seen them, but when a horror movie channel's "best offerings" are a small group of films that I already own, it's time to rejuvenate the channel or move on to something else to get your horror fix. (Honestly, i just signed up for Netflix a couple weeks ago and have already watched several really good horror movies that I'd never seen before.)
