Shudder, the premier horror streaming service from AMC Networks, is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025 with a year-long extravaganza of chilling content, fan-centric events, and exclusive merchandise. Get ready to immerse yourself in a decade of terror with “Shudder 10,” a celebration that promises to be as terrifyingly ambitious as the platform itself.
Shudder’s 10th-anniversary festivities kick off in April with its annual “Halfway to Halloween” event, setting the stage for a year filled with killer films and series. The streamer, fresh off a successful 2024 that saw six of its titles land on Rotten Tomatoes’ Top 10 Horror list, including the number one spot for Late Night with the Devil, is poised to deliver even more spine-tingling content.
“Since day one, Shudder has hoped to showcase the breadth and depth of horror, crafting and releasing provocative, frightening work with renowned masters and pioneering new voices,” says Sam Zimmerman, Head of Programming for Shudder. “It’s humbling to establish a mark on the genre we love so much, at a time when horror is perhaps more widely embraced than ever before. We’re incredibly thankful to the passionate fanbase that’s joined us these last ten years and to the immeasurably talented filmmakers and producers who have trusted Shudder to share their thrilling stories with our audience. This year, we celebrate where Shudder’s been and give our members a taste of the horrors to come.”
Courtney Thomasma, EVP of Linear and Streaming Products at AMC Networks, echoes this sentiment, stating, “Shudder perfectly represents our targeted streaming approach, offering a deep and highly-curated selection of films and series programmed by horror superfans for all horror fans. As horror continues to grow in popularity, Shudder is leading the charge – for the most passionate fans as well as those just starting to explore the depth and variety of the category – with a lineup that continually showcases how clever and multifaceted and fantastically fun the genre can be.”
