It’s time for our monthly check-in with the team at Shudder to find out what’s streaming in June 2025. With the warm summer months fast approaching, the streamer is unveiling some hidden gems to deliver binge-worthy new movies and shows for us to immerse ourselves in as the nights grow longer. And boy, do they have a lineup worthy of your subscription.
With some juicy new titles releasing throughout the month and another bumper crop of killer classics joining the already impressive horror library, Shudder is the place to be in June. So, grab a cushion and get ready to hide behind the sofa as we unpack another month of horrific awesomeness.
NEW RELEASES
June is always the beginning of our warm, cheerful summer season, but Shudder’s carefully curated catalog of titles is anything but jolly. Kick-starting the month’s new releases on June 1st is Wolfcop. The film follows an alcoholic police officer who quickly discovers his thirst doesn’t just run to alcohol, and pretty soon, he’s howling at the moon on the hunt for blood. Cool huh? If that isn’t enough, June 1st also sees the release of the new adaptation of Children of the Corn. The film describes the events leading up to, and including, the massacre of the adults of a small town.
Fast forward to Friday the 13th, and Jason Voorhees is on vacay this year because Best Wishes To All is taking over the horror highlights. The film follows a woman who visits her grandparents’ home, leading to the discovery of what brings them happiness. This revelation prompts her to question her choices, sanity, and the very nature of reality itself. And finally, rounding out the big new releases on June 17th, we are all invited to check into Hell Motel.
In the latest project from the creators of Slasher, this all-new horror anthology series, starring Emmy Award-winner Eric McCormack, sees a group of 10 true crime obsessives invited to the opening weekend of the newly renovated Cold River Motel, the site of a 30-year-old unsolved Satanic Mass Murder. But history has a way of repeating itself, and soon the bodies start to pile up!
NEW HORROR HIGHLIGHTS
Now that we’ve whetted your appetite and teased you with the chilling fun that awaits us in June, let’s dive into the treasure trove and check out all the big reveals coming our way. It’s time to reach for the cushions!

NEW ADDITIONS TO SHUDDER’S FILM LIBRARY
Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, we are yet to hear what new treats will be joining Shudder’s ever-expanding catalog of cult classics. However, after last month’s premiere of Emilie Blichfeld’s The Ugly Stepsister and Vampire Hunter D, there is plenty to bolster your horror watchlist in June.
THE UGLY STEPSISTER
Our team was lucky enough to catch an early screening of the film, and we loved this dark and twisted take on a classic. Our Lead Editor, Phil Roberts, said: “Emilie Blichfeldt’s The Ugly Stepsister is a shockingly enjoyable, twisted take on the Cinderella story. Pivoting to the ugly stepsister, it takes body horror to a whole new, stomach-churning level. It’s brilliantly original, but uncomfortable to watch. Brutally good fun!”
Our News Editor, Carl Roberts, also had a blast with this one. He said, “The Ugly Stepsister is a dark retelling of the Cinderella story, told from the perspective of a stepsister. With a mix of Labyrinth and The Substance, some stomach-churning scenes, and some unexpected humour, this is a body horror fairy tale, not for the squeamish. Highly recommended.” You can read Carl’s full review of the film here. Don’t miss it!
