Shudder - new horror streaming service

[Mister B Gone]

I adore Shudder and watch it through the Amazon Firestick

just in the past 2 weeks I've caught up on a ton of movies I was on the fence to purchase including Opera, The Stendhal Syndrome, City of the Living Dead, Demons 2, House, House II, Happy Birthday to Me, Basket Case, Phantasm III, Phantasm IV, The Stuff, May, Lair of the White Worm, Parents.

It's saved me a lot of money on crap I would have blind bought or bought through misplaced nostalgia and given me great confidence to spend the money I do have on pricey BD's I'll be happy to buy.

Amazon offers Shudder through one of their channels. What's the difference between subscribing through Amazon Channels and subscribing directly to Shudder?

There are less movies available through the Amazon channel. There are a few movies that I had to go online and stream directly because they were not available through the Firestick

That's a good point. I've definitely gone 20+ years or so without watching some movies and was eager to buy them on blu only to realize they don't have the same emotional value anymore. Not surprising when it happens with kids programming but it is kind of sad with horror/sci-fi. For example, The Wraith did not hold up nearly as well as I remembered as a child and I'm glad I streamed it on Netflix instead of buying the expensive JP import.
