Fantastic Service for Horror Fans
Shudder has plenty of horror movie content; more than enough to keep you up at night. I love the idea when you first access shudder you are giving a selection of movies which are currently playing from different genres and the guest curator sections, where guests pick out their favorite films from the Shudder library.
Shudder also enabled me to discover movies which I would not have known about or would have seen so movies like "We Need To Talk About Kevin", "The Corpse of Anna Fritz" , or "Sleep Tight" are indelibly etched into my nightmares.
Shudder has a nice collection of Giallo horror from Bava and Argento which I enjoy. "Black Sunday's" cinematography still creeps me out after all of these years. It is also nice that they carry many zombie/walking dead moves from many disparate directors including my favorite Romero and "The Day of the Dead."
There are a few series as well to keep your viewing time occupied like "Tales from the Darkside", "Likely Stories", and "Tales of the Unexpected". I wish they carried the "Friday the 13th: The Series". I miss that show and can not find it anywhere.
Here is the one area that I wish Shudder would improve. Shudder lacks a lot in the way of the old monster/creature features. They had some of the Universal monsters for a while (although I think they have vanished from their library just like the "Invisible Man"). There are no big terrifying monsters (Godzilla, King Kong, Tarantula, Giant Gila Monster), giant/small humans (Amazing Colossal Man. Incredible Shrinking Man), Monsters from Space, (It Came From Outer Space, The Blob) etc. I know some of these could be considered strictly Sci-Fi but to me Sci-Fi and Horror go hand-in-hand.
