Horror fans are about to have a lively August this year with Shudder bringing out lots of new movies, exclusive titles, a special slasher collection, and the debut of a popular series to their app! If you’re not already signed up for Shudder through Amazon Video Channels, I highly recommend it.
Shudder is the premiere service for horror. No other streaming platform caters to horror fans in the same way Shudder does. Plus, the cost is only $2.49/month for 3 months and $4.99/month thereafter until the end of July.

Next month, Shudder will officially launch its premiere of the AMC series, NOS4A2. The show is based on the Joe Hill novel of the same name. At SDCC this past weekend, it was announced NOS4A2 had been renewed for a second season.
If you haven’t been able to watch the series live on AMC, the first episode will debut on Shudder on Aug. 8, 2019. From there, the episodes will appear every Thursday through Oct. 10th.
I recommend checking the show out if you can. It follows the dastardly Charlie Manx, an immortal being and an unorthodox take on vampires, who absorbs the life force of children to maintain his youthful appearance. He will be forced up against Vic McQueen, a strong creative with the ability to find lost things.
Beyond NOS4A2, here is a sneak peek at everything else arriving on Shudder in August 2019:
