Mark your calendars, Hatchet Army—“Adam Green Night” is coming to FEARnet! The fearsome four-pack contains some of the acclaimed filmmaker’s greatest hits, and will feature an exclusive clip from the upcoming “Holliston” Christmas Special. The night begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT with the modern Slasher icon, Hatchet, starring genre legend Kane Hodder (Friday the 13 VII-X) as famed disfigured hatchetman Victor Crowley.

· ‘MONSTER HOUSE’ (Network Premiere) – Sunday, November 11 (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT)

Monster House, the kid-friendly animated genre smash from executive producers Robert Zemeckis (“Tales from the Crypt”) and Steven Spielberg (Jaws), is the classic tale of three neighborhood pals who get more than they bargained for when they decide to explore the spooky old house across the street. The movie features the voice talents of Steve Buscemi (“Tales from the Darkside”), Maggie Gyllenhall (Donnie Darko) and Fred Willard (Idle Hands).

“Monster House is the first animated PG film to air on our network,” said Sarah Shannon, FEARnet’s director of programming. “But it still fits with what we’re known for, because it represents everything that we, as horror fans, loved when we were kids. Fear is about more than gore and violence, and Monster House is the perfect example of a fun and terrifying way to make you scream and laugh.” Monster House will air as part of a double-feature with The Gate, starring Stephen Dorff (Blade) as a boy who discovers a portal to hell in his own backyard.
