Tons Of Great Horror Movies Are Headed To Shudder Next Month

With a raft of new streaming services coming our way this year, it’s impressive that Shudder continues to develop compelling content and a solid horror library to keep fans returning. Having already snapped up the rights to Rob Zombie’s 3 From Hell, they’ve now announced their full lineup of titles for February 2020, which includes new original series, shorts, and a lot of classic movies.

In terms of original series, Shudder have The Dead Lands on Thursdays through March 5th, with the show adapting a 2014 New Zealand film focusing on Māori mythology. The plot covers a warrior returning from the afterlife who has to contend with the spirits of the recently dead. Given Shudder’s confirmation of a second season for Creepshow, it’ll be fascinating to see what they do with this material as they increase their original series commitments.

On the original movies front, Shudder have Bliss, where a painter struggles with a creative block. In addition, they have the imaginatively titled Dogs Don’t Wear Pants, wherein an emotionally paralyzed man begins a relationship with a dominatrix centered around suffocation. Shudder also have Jessica Forever, a dystopian future-set thriller where the title character and her family fight for survival. As previously mentioned, you can also catch 3 From Hell on Shudder from February, with the release schedule as follows:

• 01/30 – Bliss
  
• 02/06 – Dogs Don’t Wear Pants
