Shudder is an American subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming service. It is one of the streaming services owned and operated by AMC Networks that primarily distributes horror, thriller, and supernatural fiction titles, and therefore offers original films, TV series—such as Creepshow, based on the 1982 film—and docuseries. Shudder's library also features non-original programming, including well-known horror films. Shudder annually airs a Halloween "Ghoul Log" (a Halloween-themed equivalent to the Yule Log). It also had its own VRV channel from its initial launch in late 2016 until mid-2019.
