Thank god for the horror genre saving the whole damn film industry by being the last bastion of original creative work

When I was a kid and I was lucky to catch a dreadfully bad horror flick once a month at 3 AM...if I was lucky, I wish I had known that one day, there would be Shudder. Fifty years later and I'm just as avid a horror fan as I was when I was a kid. It's still amazing to me that I can watch a horror movie any time I please lol. Thank you Shudder, for your eclectic offerings and for introducing and supporting so many indie horror films and their creators. ❤

Shudder NEVER MISSES. I fucking love movies with a unique creature and creepy kids drawings. Can’t wait
