It looks like NBC Universal's horror/suspense channel Chiller will have some competition, though if Comcast's planned purchase of NBC Universal goes through, I suspect Comcast would rebrand Chiller into a different genre channel.

Subscription video-on-demand service FearNet will look to scare up operator affiliation deals this summer for its proposed Oct. 1 linear channel launch.
The multi-platform service, owned by Lions Gate, Sony Pictures Television and Comcast, will launch as a predominately digital-basic movie channel in time for the 2010 Halloween season, FearNet president Diane Robina said.
