Throughout the festive period, the horror streaming platform entertained the spooky enthusiasts among us while everyone else was busy with the usual holiday cheer. Now that we’re plowing ahead with a new year, it’s time to ramp up our horror watchlist. To kick things off, Shudder has lined up a whole bunch of exciting horror content for us to enjoy in February.
And if that’s not enough to tempt you to renew your subscription, we can dive into tons of new titles coming to the already excellent horror library. So, unite cellar dwellers and join us as we unpack this tantalizing bag of tasty treats.
NEW RELEASES
Now that the fluffy festive fare has been returned to the attic for another year, it’s time to get the blood curdling again. Shudder is obliging by launching 2025 with three new titles for us to enjoy. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until mid-month to enter these depths of despair, but they’ll be worth the wait.
February will start strong with the release of the original movie The Dead Thing, dropping on the streamer on Valentine’s Day, February 14th. You’ve come to the right place if you’re in the mood for some juicy dating app horror. Next is the blood-curling Little Bites. In the film, Mindy (Krsy Fox) tries to protect her daughter from the grips of a fiendish, flesh-eating monster. In a gruesome twist, Mindy has been secretly sacrificing her own life by allowing the creature to slowly feast on her body as she keeps Alice hidden away. Look for the film on February 21st. To wrap up February’s new releases, The Birthday brings the party to a horrific end. Especially when a secret religious sect attempts to give birth to their god! The film will be available to stream from February 21st.
