FEARnet strives to deliver the best online experience possible to as diverse an audience as possible. However, we have found that a few users have experienced problems viewing our website. Some tips if you are having problems:
FEARnet is the premiere site for horror, thriller and suspense video online, including new FREE movies every Wednesday, available on demand all week long. FEARnet also features exclusive original series, movie trailers, and exclusive scenes from soon-to-be released films. All of that content and you don't have to pay a dime, give up your first born, or perform any strange cultish rituals!
Broadband speeds vary depending on region and many internet packages offer various ranges of speeds. First, run an internet speed test at http://www.speedtest.net/. To provide you with the best detail possible, our videos are encoded at 800kbps. If your connection speed is slower, you may experience jerky video playback.
There are factors which will affect your speed online, which may help with stuttering with video:
Testing is done continuously to insure that FEARnet works on all browsers, on all operating systems and with all plug-ins. Due the large number of possible combinations, your system may not match an exact configuration we have tested. Here are our recommended software and specs:
FEARnet licenses movies and other content from a variety of distributors. In some cases, distributors restrict our use to visitors viewing us from within the United States. This is true of most of our movies and series. When possible, we remove filtering so that videos may be viewed worldwide. This is most commonly the case for our interviews and other news-related clips.
To protect our users, we occasionally ask for age verification for programming not appropriate for younger viewers. The age limits for video content is determined by the studio providing the video content and not FEARnet.
If you are having trouble viewing videos, FEARnet recommends the following:
ping fearnetfs.fplive.net
tracert fearnetfs.fplive.net

If you have a special request, please send it to fearnetsupport@gmail.com
Occasionally a user posts something they probably should not have or that directly offends another user. We monitor our community very closely but ask that if you see any content that is inappropriate that you mark it by clicking the flag icon.
FEARnet offers movies at no cost to users on the FEARnet.com site as well as most On Demand cable services. We have a large library of horror movies, and we are happy to give our users a 20 movies matinee available 24/7 with titles cycling weekly.
<insert movie here> anymore?<insert movie here>?While we would love to show every horror movie, not every title is available to us. We diligently work to get the very best horror movies and get them into your browsers and television sets as often as possible. Is there a title we haven't shown yet that you think we should feature? Or one we used to have that you'd like to see brought back? Let us know at fearnetsupport@gmail.com.

We allow many of our videos to be embedded on other websites so that you can put them on your personal pages or share them via the web with your friends. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to offer embeddable code for some of our content, including most of our movies. For videos that permit embedding, look for the "get code" link. Click it, follow the prompts, and share away!
