What's Coming To Shudder For September & October 2026?

Thanks for checking out this video. So, let's go ahead and go over what's coming to Shudder for September and October of 2026 because this is their season of screams. So, I'm going to give you everything that they've already said is coming. Sometimes they end up adding some additional stuff, especially in October cuz other things pop up. So, I'm just going to give you what they have given me thus far, which is a decent amount of stuff. So, the stuff I'm going over first are the Shutter exclusives and originals, which I do do um no spoiler reviews for on the Monday of the week that they come out on a Friday. So, you can always come to my channel and watch those no spoiler reviews and figure out, oh, does this sound like a film I want to watch or not? So, the first one is coming on September 4th. It is called Parisomnia. I've already watched it, but I can't talk about it right now because, you know, emb uh embargo. But it is. Riley is a young woman tormented by night terrors and a past of unresolved tragedy. When her best friend is the latest to go missing, she begins to suspect a demonic figure lurking in her sleep has crossed over into the real world. The next film is coming on September 11th. It is Maryama. Rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, Maryama is centered on a young Mauy woman who discovers her horrific colonial heritage after traveling to Victorian England in 1859. She soon becomes compelled to confront and destroy the titled Englishman who devastated her family. Okay, sounds interesting. Uh then they're having the Creep Tape season 3. May or may not end up reviewing that. I did season one. I did season two and they were both quite good honestly. So, I'm assuming season 3 is going to be at least solid, but we'll see. Maybe I'll put up a review on those. Maybe I won't. But, um, okay. So, from writers, uh, Duplast Brothers, season 3 continues to expose a collection of videotapes from the secret vault of the world's deadliest and most socially uncomfortable serial killer. Unfortunately, as the tape rolls, the killer's questionable intentions surface with his increasingly odd behavior, and the victims will learn they may have made a deadly mistake. Kate Seagull ends up in that season. That's cool. I'm down with that. Uh, and that is starting on Tuesday, September 15th. Uh, it's a two episode season premiere on that date. And then I don't it doesn't say how many episodes there are, I don't believe. No, it doesn't say how many episodes, but okay. The next film is coming September 18th. It's goody goodie. Lulled into a necessary sense of comfort. Necessary. Okay. Necessary sense of comfort during a long home birth process. Expecting parents and uh and Colby what? Okay, they didn't write this well. Lulled into a necessary sense of comfort during a long home birth process. expecting parents and Colby Hman and their midwife. God damn, this is horribly written. Begin to realize something may be horribly wrong. A blizzard rages outside, trapping the family and their home as increasingly sinister complications arise. It does sound kind of interesting. Uh the next one is coming September 25th. It's called Bloody Tennis. Centered in the world of elite sports to disturbing new extremes. After being admitted to an elite tennis academy hidden deep in southern Europe, Sophie must contend not only with the fierce brutality of her teammates, but with the school's increasingly sinister undercurrents where competitive sports are taken to their painful limits and only the hungriest survive. Uh, that sounds fun. I'm down with that. It's, you know, an interesting thing. Uh, October 2nd, it will be infirmary. A guard vanished on his first night at an old psych hospital in 2023. His body cam footage shows unexplainable incidents that continue to baffle investigators. That's it. I don't know. Not sold on that one. Uh, a lot of people will be excited about this one. Coming October 9th is VHS mixtape. The ninth installment cracks cranks the signature found footage horror up to 11 with an electrifying new anthology where music and sound become the source of terror. United by a theme that explores the power of music, rhythm, and audio to haunt, possess, and destroy. The film blends cosmic horror, psychological suspense, outrageous splatter, and groundbreaking practical effects into one unforgettable mixtape of nightmares. Ernest Dickerson is involved. Rizza is involved. Flying Lotus, Guir is gonna be involved. Some good names. Excited about that one. Uh then coming October 16th, Hollow Warrior. Uh it follows Pumpkin, the last girl on Earth and sole survivor of a human humanity ending plague, scavenging the wasteland for supplies on the eve of Halloween. Pumpkin's lonely holiday ritual is interrupted by the arrival of a savage gang of raiders at her doorstep, led by Talia. Uh, outnumbered and armed with candy, wit, and weapons, Pumpkin must ferociously fight back to survive the night. Sounds fun. Uh, then we have on October 23rd, The Cycle. When police discover a corpse beside a horrific crime scene, their only lead is the man's aranged daughter, uh, who must unravel the disturbing secret her father thought he took to the grave. Okay, could go either way. Then Joe Bob's Halloween house party will be on October 23rd. Uh, and streaming on demand on Sunday, October 25th. Slap the finishing touches on your costume a week early because you're cordally invited to Joe Bob's Halloween house party. RSVB RSVP for a Sam Hayne suare to remember with Joe Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the mail girl as they host a seasonal double double feature chalk full of tricks treats and violent dismemberment. That'll be fun. Then they're doing the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards which will be October 25th. That is the Sunday. That'll be a packed weekend. Uh Joe Bob and then the Chainsaw Awards. Pretty cool. Annual awards ceremony honoring the best in on Jesus. Honoring the best in on horror films of the year. They do a terrible job writing these sometimes. Uh Devin Sawa is going to host. That intrigues me a lot. I love him. He's great. All right. Then coming on October 30th, Big Baby. Nightmares of a maniac killer in a baby mask inspire a horror writer's new script. As his life begins to spiral out of control, he discovers Big Baby's murderous rampage. Maybe more than just fiction. This one's directed by uh Spider 1, who did Little Bites in Allegoria. I hated Little Bites, but Allegoria was pretty solid. And Sher is in it. Interesting. Coming on Halloween the 31st, hunting Matthew Nichols. Two decades after her brother mysteriously disappeared on Vancouver Island, a documentary filmmaker sets out to solve his missing person's case. Uh when disturbing circumstances circumstances evidence is revealed, horribly written. She comes to believe he might still be alive. Okay, sounds interesting. And then the last thing of their exclusives and originals starting on the Oh, okay. It just says in the fall of 2026 is Boule Brothers Dracula season 7, which I kind of stopped watching the show a few seasons ago because it's starting to feel like very much the same to me. Hosted hosted by modern-day horror icons and drag superstars Dra Morta and Swanthula Boule. Season 7 of the hit reality competition series The Boule Brothers Dragula will bring together extreme drag artists from around the world to compete in jaw-dropping challenges including costume design and creation, makeup and special effects, live performance, and craftsmanship. So, there is that. Uh, and then at the very very end, I might I think I'll go over in this email what the watch parties are, but I don't want to say it now cuz it's going to tip off some of the other movies I'm going to say are coming. So, let me get down to the regular list of movies. First, a little hydration. Throat gets dry. Okay, so the next slew of films are dropping on September 1st. Psycho. A secretary on the run for embezzlement takes refuge at a secluded California motel owned by a repressed man and his overbearing mother. Great film. Sounds like it's the original. Uh, Psycho 2. After 22 years of psychiatric care, Norman Bates attempts to return to a life of solitude, but the specters of his crimes and his mother continue to haunt him. I have not seen that. I haven't seen anything past the first Psycho. So, let me know in the comments what are the psycho films I must see other than the first. Psycho 3. Norman Bates falls in love with a fallen nun who stays at the Bates Motel alongside a drifter and curious reporter. Meanwhile, mother is still watching. And then psycho four, the beginning. Norman Bates recalls his childhood with his abusive mother while fearing that his unborn child will inherit his disassociative identity disorder. All right. Oh, and here's a film that I have not seen, but I've been curious about. 1408 with John Cusack. Author Michael Enslin, who specializes in debunking paranormal occurrences, checks into the fabled room 1408 in Dolphin Hotel in New York City, settles in and soon confronts genuine terror. Let me know, is it good? Uh, Scarecrows from 1988. Bank robbers parachute from a hijack plane, they say plan, but it's supposed to be plane. Into a field full of killer scarecrows. I haven't seen that, and I do need to. Dark Harvest from 2023. In a small Midwestern town, a deadly annual ritual unfolds when the mythical nightmare Sawtooth Jack rises from the cornfields and challenges the town's teenage boys in a bloody battle of survival. I think I may have watched that film already. I think if I did, I have a no spoiler review for it on my channel. Check it out. The next film, Exorcismo. A young woman participates unknowingly in a satanic ceremony and gets possessed by the spirit of her late father. Does not sound like it's for me. The Horseman from 2008. When Christian finds out his runaway teen uh teenage daughter Jesse has been sexually attacked, the suburban father loses it. Setting out to find Jesse's attacker, Christian goes on a violent rampage. Uh, irrefutable truth about demons. An anthropologist life and reality are ripped apart by a satanic cult. No, don't sound great. Strange Darling. A lot of people loved this film. I was one person who did not love it. There were things I liked about it, but overall did not love it. Nothing is what it seems when a twisted one night stand spirals into a serial killer's vicious murder spree. I will say right now, this doesn't really spoil anything, but it's not it's not linear. It's it's kind of like chapters that are out of order, and I think that's the only thing that makes it interesting. If you would have seen it in chronological order, it's very much not interesting, but the performances are good. Uh, okay. Insidious 2. Apparently, the first Insidious will not be on here. Insidious 2. who the Lamberts believe uh that they have defeated the spirits that have haunted their family, but they soon discover that evil is not beaten so easily. I hate the Insidious movies. I only saw the first one and I didn't like it and then I just didn't stick with it. But again, should I check out more? Let me know. Uh, Insidious Chapter 3, a pre a prequel set before the haunting of the Lambert family reveals how gifted psychic Elise Reineer reluctantly agrees to use her ability to contact the dead in order to help a teenage girl who has been targeted by a dangerous supernatural entity. Not my thing. Uh, Resident Evil, uh, Apocalypse. Uh, I do need to see that. I I know they're not like great movies, but I kind of want to see them all. Um, Alice wakes up in Raccoon City Hospital after the area has been overrun by zombies and must now make it out of the city before a nuclear bomb is dropped. Sounds fun. I'm going to switch arms here. Uh, The Silent Scream. This is the last one dropping on September 1st. Uh, during her first semester at college, a co-ed finds housing at a seaside mansion where following the death of a fellow student, she becomes entangled in a murder mystery surrounding the property and its secretive tenants. Sounds interesting. Uh, the next four films are dropping on September 7th. The Serpent's Skin. After escaping her transphobic hometown, Anna meets Goth tattoo artist Jen. Uh, they bond over shared supernatural abilities, but Jen's tattoo work accidentally conjures a demon before their romance can bloom. That sounds interesting. I like the tattoo aspect of that. Uh, chainsaws were singing. Adventures await when new lovers are separated by a chainsaw killer. Not really selling me too much on that. Its name was Mormo. Okay. A young family's life unravels into chaos as a sinister presence targets each member in its own malicious manner. Through the lens of police evidence, Mark, Diana, and Mia endure the torment of a demon deeply rooted in Greek mythology. Interesting. The the rooted in Greek myth mythology is interesting to me. Uh, and then the last one for the seventh, Sara. When her sister is murdered by a group of politically connected rich kids, Sara, a quiet gym cleaner from Turk Menistan, begins to follow in her father's footsteps, seeking a path of revenge. Okay, could be good. Uh, the next four will be dropping on September 14th. Before the Fall from 2008. Some of these they have the dates and some they don't, so I'll read them if they have them. Uh, Before the Fall, the world learns that an earthshattering meteorite will arrive in 72 72 hours. That's it. Doesn't sell me on it. Dead by Dawn. Uh, 2025. Actors rehearsing at the mysterious Heisenhoff Theater face a deadly threat when a mass killer appears. The theater play and murders are revealed to be part of an occult ritual. Okay. Dinner to die for. Hannah, a culinary photographer, and her friend Evan share a passion for true crime content. Uh, when Evan suggests roleplaying their own true crime scenario involving a killer meal and the girl next door, things take a twisted turn. Sounds kind of interesting. And the last one for the 14th. The house was not hungry then. Okay. While searching for her strange father, a young woman breaks into an empty house in the countryside where every visitor disappears. Now she must avoid the man posing as a real estate agent who lures victims inside. And then the next six films are dropping on se September 21st. The degenerate, the life and films of Andy Milligan. I would like to check this out. It's I guess it's a documentary. Uh New York City filmmaker Andy Milligan made low-budget shock films in the 60s and 70s before dying of AIDS. The documentary reveals his complex life and fierce directing style. I don't like his films, but I'm interested in documentaries, like learning who these people were. Bloodthirsty Butchers. A murderous barber and his equally uh psychopathic friend, a baker, hatch a plan to murder and make human pies to be sold in his shop. Directed by Andy Milligan. Okay, makes sense. Uh, the man with two heads. Serum obtained from a brain after a mass murder transforms the good Dr. Jackekal of London into the evil Mr. Blood directed by Andy Milligan. Seeing a theme here. The rats are coming. The werewolves are here. I've seen this film. I hated it. The the daughter in a family of werewolves decides to put an end to the family curse. Directed by Andy Milligan. Uh Hallucination Generation. That's a nice title. A juvenile is mad at his mom, so he leaves his home in San Francisco to join a charismatic LSD guru's cult in Spain and tunes in and drops out. He also gets involved in murder. That sounds kind of interesting. And then the last one from the 21st is The Corpse Collector. Uh, an ambulance corpse van driver falls for the mistress of a brutal mafia boss. Then the next three are the last films coming in September. Um, that is September 28th. Picture Mommy dead. After her mother's fiery death, Susan leaves an asylum to live with her father and god digging God digging stepmother. I don't know what that means. Uh who schemes with her lover to find the dead woman's missing diamonds through the traumatized girl. Uh then we have Terror Knots. A group of scientists are kidnapped and taken into outer space aboard a saucer. That is not horror. That is sci-fi, but it is a fun film. Check that out if you like sci-fi. Like old sci-fi. I think it's from the 60s. It's a good time. And the last one for September 28th is Newcomers. Prequel to Henry James' The Turn of the Screw, focusing on groundskeeper Peter Quint's slow corruption of the virtuous governness Miss Jessel and the children she looks after. Okay, then about to cross into October, but going to drink some more water. Okay, I'm like getting winded at this point. Okay, the next ton of films are dropping on October 1st. Crystal Lake Memories. This is a good one. I've seen it. Documentary chronicling the his history of the uh Friday 13th franchise. Worth it. Uh next is Twilight Zone the movie. Four horror and science fiction segments directed by four famous directors. Each of them being a new version of the classic story from Rod Serling's landmark television series. I don't think I've seen it in its entirety. So, just gonna say that uh Gonam Haunted asylum. The crew of a horror web series travels to an abandoned asylum for a live broadcast. It soon encounters much more than expected as it moves deeper inside the nightmarish old building. Not for me. New normal. In 2024, Soul. Six strangers engage in solo dining rituals that unexpectedly thrust them into a nightmarish realm where isolation fosters unspeakable terrors forever altering their lives. Yeah, maybe uh the endless. As kids, they escaped a UFO death cult. Now two adult brothers seek answers after an old videotape surfaces and brings them back to where they began. Interested in that one. The haunting from 1963. Hill House has stood for about 90 years and appears haunted. Its inhabitants inhabitants have always met strange tragic ends. Now, Doc uh Dr. John Markway has assembled a team of people who he thinks will prove whether or not the house is indeed haunted. I believe I've seen that and I thought it was pretty good. Uh Alice, Sweet Alice, which according to the way they wrote this is from 9178 that year, 1978. Great film by the way. In 1961, divorced Catholic couple Dom and Catherine Spa Spage's life is upended when her teenage daughter Alice is suspected of her younger sister Karen's brutal murder murder during her first holy communion and a series of stabbings follow. It's uh like gialo. Is it galo? I don't know. I don't remember if it's Italian or not. If it's not Italian, it's galoesque. But anyway, if you like galo, you'll like it. Alone in the Dark from 1982. A few dangerous and delusional mental patients break out of a mental asylum during a power blackout and lay siege to their new doctor's house who they believe killed their previous doctor. I didn't love that film. Uh although Martin, a young Martin Landau is in it, which is fun. And if memory serves, Christopher Lloyd, maybe I might be wrong on that one. The last one. Uh The Descent. I do need to rewatch this. A caving expedition goes horribly wrong when six explorers become trapped and ultimately pursued by a strange breed of predators. That is a good film, very claustrophobic with the spelunking in it. Uh the next one is Haunt from 2019. On Halloween, a group of friends encounter an extreme haunted house that promises to feed their darkest fears. The night turns deadly as they come to the horrifying realization that some nightmares are real. I like that one a lot and it's great for Halloween watching. Definitely check that out. The next one's really good, too. Lake one of the few found footage films I like. Strange things start happening after a girl is found drowned in a lake. It's not selling a lot, but you can't really say much about it. You give it away. Just watch it. Uh then Lake Revisited uh features interviews with the cast and crew along with the expert opinions and unearth behind the-scenes footage to explore the enduring legacy and creepy realism of the horror mockumentary. Very cool. I would definitely watch that. Uh then next is one of the underrated I think one of the best Rob Zombie films, Lords of Salem. Radio DJ Heidi Heidi has sent a box containing a record. A gift. A gift from the lords. The sounds within the uh the grooves trigger flashbacks of her town's violent past. Is Heidi going mad or are the lords back to take revenge on Salem, Massachusetts? Oh, so they are going to be dropping the original Insidious. It's the next one. A family looks to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comeomaos child in a realm called the further. Okay, the next one I recommend. It's a lot of fun. The car. A small desert town is terrorized by a powerful, seemingly possessed car, and the local sheriff may be the only one who can stop it. Very fun. Really like it. I need to buy that on physical media. Then we have session nine. This is a good one. Tensions rise within an asbestous cleaning crew as they work in an abandoned mental hospital with a horrific past that seems to be coming back. Has a good ending. Uh, from 2024, The Ghost. Amid the barren landscape of postfamine Ireland, a father and daughter struggle to survive the brutal winter as caretakers of a remote mansion only to be driven to the edge of insanity by the horrors lurking within. Interesting. And the last one coming on October 1st is Bury Me Twice. Los Angeles, 1954. When a washed up detective takes a case searching for a reporter's missing sister, he discovers solving the mystery of her disappearance is the key to uncovering the source of the zombie outbreak and saving the city. So, the next film, one film is coming on October 5th, Harbinger. Julia, sole survivor of late serial killer Decker, is lured back to the house she start she shared with him for a ghost hunting TV show. The crew discovered the Harbinger, a fairground fortunetelling machine that reveals their fates one by one. Sounds kind of interesting. Got to get some more water. Uh, the next two films are dropping on October 7th. God of Frogs. Deep in the heart of the jungle exists an elemental creature with eternal hunger. Once every quarter century, it emerges to feed. And every time, its fate is entwined with the same human family. And then the monster within. In a quiet town, reclusive Garrett inherits his family's 100 acre farm. Beneath the land lies something ancient and hungry. As the evil stirs, he must decide how far he'll go to keep it buried before it consumes him entirely. Interesting. Uh, the next one film is coming out on October 12th. jitters. Detective Kymore, a single divorced father, stumbles upon a mysterious case involving the death of Tiffany initially deemed natural. Digging deeper, he discovers the horrors of Jitters. Yeah, I don't know. Uh, the next film is coming October 14th. The Mill Killers. Four girls return to their ghost town home, haunted by a stalker who may know their secret. Or could it just be their guilty conscience catching up? Maybe. Uh, October 15th, Ethereia Film Night 2026. Ethereia is the world's most respected competition showcase of new horror, science fiction, fantasy, action, and thriller films made by emerging women directors. Worth it. Uh, then the next three films are coming on October 19th. Crazy Lips. Uh, what is that? Satomis is a young woman who hires an eccentric psychic to prove her missing brother's innocence after he becomes the prime suspect in the gruesome decapitation of four school girls. You got me on that one. Sounds interesting. Gore from outer space. A woman on death row recounting a bizarre kidnapping case involving quirky FBI agents, a psychic and potential alien invasion. Okay. And then the last one for the 19th, play dead. A woman wakes up injured in a basement surrounded by corpses. To survive, she pretends to be dead while a grotesque ritual unfolds in the house above. The next, we're almost there. We're getting there. Uh, the next four films are dropping on October 21st. Dead of Night from 1945. An architect vis visiting an English country house realizes uh the other guests are familiar from from his recurring nightmare. When they share their tales of the supernatural, he is filled with a growing dread. Then we have fear no evil. High school student turns out to be a personification of Lucifer. Two arch angels in human form as women take him on. Not for me. The horror of Frankenstein. Brilliant but arrogant scientist Victor Frankenstein builds a man from spare body parts only for the monster to come alive and wreak havoc. We all know the story. And then the last film coming on the 21st is The North Witch. Five women embark on a search for a cabin that mysteriously went missing 60 years ago.
