Hey there, all you horror hounds and drive-in mutants! It’s one of the lucky folks who gets to work behind the scenes with the one and only Joe Bob Briggs. I’m here to share some spine-tingling news about what the maestro of monster mayhem has in store for y’all at this year’s Fear Fest on AMC. We’re hitching our wagon to a true titan of terror, the master of the night himself, John Carpenter, with his bone-chilling masterpiece, “Halloween.”

Now, I reckon most of y’all think you’ve got the lowdown on every dark corner and secret of Haddonfield, including the tale of Michael Myers’ hauntingly pale face. But here’s a nugget you might not have stumbled upon in your travels through the horror hinterlands: that infamous William Shatner mask, the one that’s become the stuff of legend? Turns out, it’s a retooled relic from the mold crafted for the eerie flick “The Devil’s Rain” way back in 1975. That’s a tidbit that could only come from the depths of Joe Bob’s vault of horror knowledge.

So, circle October 10th, 2023 on your calendars with a big, bloody red pen, folks. We’re teaming up with Shudder on AMC Plus to take you on a harrowing journey into the heart of darkness, Joe Bob style. This ain’t just another stroll through the pumpkin patch; we’re diving headfirst into a night of horror that’ll have your jaw on the floor and your heart in your throat.

Pack up your snacks, settle into your favorite chair, and prepare for a horror education like no other. Joe Bob’s gonna school you in the fine art of fear, and it’s a lesson you won’t soon forget. So, let’s gear up for a ride into the night that promises thrills, chills, and, of course, a whole lot of laughs with our favorite horror host. You won’t want to miss a minute of it, so be there or be square, my fellow mutants.
