Shudder is a subscription service for the horror, thriller, and suspense genres. Enjoy exceptional originals, movies, TV series, podcasts, and live streaming.
Shudder is available on Android and Apple mobile devices, Amazon Fire devices, Android TV, Apple TV, Roku, Xbox One, Chromecast as well as a subscription via Amazon Video in monthly or annual subscriptions. Shudder was also available as part of the VRV combo pack from August 2017 through July 2019.
In the US, a monthly subscription currently runs at $5.99 each month, while in other countries the price is adjusted according to the local currency.
What Can I Watch on Shudder?
Shudder’s collection of films and TV shows is for fans of scares and thrills. I like that Shudder lets you browse its titles without requiring you to sign up for the service. For those not well-versed in the horror genre, Shudder highlights some helpful collections of movies to get you started. The Shudder Essential collection, for example, includes 29 films such as Halloween, Night of the Living Dead, Old Boy, Re-Animator, The Changeling, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Viy, along with some Shudder Originals. Additional collections at the time of publishing include A Shudder Halloween, Foundations of Horror, Into The Wild, Queer Horror, Monster Mash, Special Encounters, and Trapped. Shudder is also a destination for original productions and exclusives.
Is Shudder good?
You bet your chainsaw Shudder’s good. Curated by horror fans, the app offers chills, thrills, and power drills in a cool, vivid, grindhouse-Esque design reminiscent of the VHS-rental palaces that once were our temples.
That feeling, coupled with the all-you-can-eat buffet aspect of it, is easily worth six bucks a month—as long as you’re using the Shudder app itself and not its Prime Video Channel (more on that later).
Shudder FAQ
Is Shudder worth getting?
Shudder is absolutely worth its $5.99-a-month price tag. It has the largest catalog of any horror streaming service, top-notch exclusive and original content, and a devilishly fun user experience. To see for yourself, sign up for a free 7-day trial.
Is Shudder free with Prime?
Shudder is not free with Amazon Prime, but you can subscribe to Shudder through Amazon Prime Video Channels for the same price ($5.99 a month). You’ll also get the same 7-day free trial and three simultaneous streams (Shudder allows only one).
That said, the best Shudder experience is through its mobile app, which supports Amazon Fire TV devices. We highly recommend it over Shudder’s Prime Video Channel.
Which is better: Shudder or Screambox?
Shudder is better than Screambox in terms of quality, quantity, and user experience. Screambox, however, does allow downloading some of its content for offline viewing. You can compare the two by signing up for free 7-day trials of each service (use the links above).
Is it easy to cancel Shudder?
It’s pretty easy to cancel your Shudder subscription. If you subscribed through Shudder, click on My Account while signed into the Shudder app. Then, under Membership Settings, click Cancel Membership.
If you subscribe to Shudder through a third party (Amazon, the Apple Store, Google Play, iTunes, Roku, or YouTube TV), you’ll have to have to go through them instead of Shudder. But the steps are similar.
How many devices can use Shudder?
Shudder supports Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku devices, as well as Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, Google Chromecast, and Xbox One. For more on device compatibility, see this section.
Can I watch Shudder on multiple devices simultaneously?
If you subscribe to Shudder through Prime Video Channels or YouTube TV, you can stream to three devices at a time. The Shudder app allows only one stream, but it’s a far better way to experience Shudder.
What makes Shudder different from cable?
Shudder, like any other streaming service, differs from cable TV in that the service costs less, has no contracts, and comes to you over the internet instead of a cable connection. And, as a predominantly on-demand service, Shudder has only three live channels.
How does Shudder work?
Shudder works like any other streaming service. Just sign up directly through Shudder (or add Shudder to your Amazon Prime Video Channels or YouTube TV subscription), download the app on your chosen device, and watch the heads roll.

Is Shudder free?
Nothing worth having is entirely free—but you can try Shudder free for seven days. After that, it’s $5.99 a month or $56.99 a year for an annual subscription (a 17% discount, dropping your payment to $4.75 a month).
How can you get Shudder?
We recommend subscribing to Shudder directly. Then you can use the Shudder app—the best way to experience the service—on a variety of devices.
Shudder is also available as an add-on through Amazon Prime Video Channels or YouTube TV, but you won’t be able to use the Shudder mobile app.
All methods include a free 7-day trial.
Is there a Shudder gift card?
No, but you can sign up for an account in your friend or relative’s name, then give them the username and password.
