It may come as no surprise to anyone who reads my ramblings that October is my favorite month for the abundance of spooky movies available. There are the mainstream streams, boasting their Halloween favorites, But for me, Shudder has everyone else beat.
When I want Halloween horror, I usually want classics. And by classics I mean anything from the good old Universal Monsters, Hammer horrors, Hitchcockian delights, 70s and 80s slashers and spookers, to 90s genre re-injections like Scream and Audition. I want new stuff I feel like I am the first to discover.
I want Giallo! I want crazy A-Horror! I want Haunted houses! I want found footage creepers! I want zombies that just want to eat your braaaaaaaaaains! I want witches and satanists, especially if they ride motorcycles! I want aliens! I want scary episodic shows! I want movies about the movies! I want monsters! I want lesbian vampires! I want werewolves!
Full disclosure- I ALWAYS want werewolves.
I want Argento and Carpenter! I want Romero and Craven and Hooper! I want Scream Queens! I want jump scares! I want twists! I want to be eating my popcorn at the edge of my seat. I want all of this.
This is all right there for me on Shudder and I just want to say thanks. You make this long time horror fan very, very happy.
