Dead & Beautiful

Five rich spoiled Asian twenty-somethings (Gijs Blom, Aviis Zhong, Yen Tsao, Philip Juan, Anechka Marchenko) are suffering from upper class ennui, unsure how to spend their days when so little is expected from them. In search of excitement, the five friends form the “Circle,” a group where they take turns designing a unique, extravagant experience for the others. But things go wrong when the privileged urbanites awaken after a night out, to find they have developed vampire fangs and an unquenchable thirst for flesh, blood and adventure at any price.

Written & directed by David Verbeek

Dead and Beautiful – 4th November

The Strings

In the dead of winter, Catherine (Teagan Johnston), a talented musician who, having recently broken up her successful band, travels to her aunt’s remote coastal cottage to work on new material in solitude. Once there, she and local photographer Grace (Jenna Schaefer) spark up a budding romance while visiting an abandoned farmhouse with a disturbing past. Soon after, strange and seemingly supernatural occurrences begin to manifest at the cottage, escalating each night and dangerously eroding Catherine’s sense of reality.

Directed by Ryan Glover; written by Ryan Glover & Krista Dzialoszynski

CONTINUING SHUDDER SERIES 

The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula

The ground-breaking Shudder Original series follows ten drag artists from around the world competing for a $100,000 grand prize – the largest in show history. Season four guest judges include Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical film series), Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows), Kristian Nairn (Game of Thrones), Misha Osherovich (Freaky), Queer country music icon Orville Peck, pop metal star Poppy, Ray Santiago (Ash vs. The Evil Dead), Bob the Drag Queen (We’re Here) and more.

The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula – New episodes to premiere every Tuesday

Behind the Monsters

Behind the Monsters takes an in-depth exploration of the creation of favourite horror icons including Candyman, Chucky, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger. No horror icon came out of a filmmaker’s first draft fully formed, there were early drafts, wrong turns, experimentation. Once made flesh (or latex), there’s presentation, impact, audience response and legacy. Each episode examines a horror icon who has broken free of the confines of the film from which it was born and become the stuff of legend.

Episode 101: Michael Myers – premieres October 27

Episode 102: Candyman – premieres November 3

Episode 103: Chucky – premieres November 10

Episode 104: Freddy – premieres November 17

Episode 105: Jason – premieres November 24

Episode 106: Pinhead – premieres December 1

Behind the Monsters – New episodes to premiere every Wednesday

NEW ADDITIONS TO SHUDDER’S LIBRARY

November 2

  • The Velvet Vampire

A married couple are invited to the desert home of bisexual female vampire Diane LeFanu, not realizing she’s a centuries-old bloodsucker keen on adding them both to her stable of lovers. Female vampires who swing both ways have been a staple of the genre since Sheridan LeFanu’s “Carmilla” and 1936’s Dracula’s Daughter. But The Velvet Vampire stands out for being one of the few such tales directed by a woman, in this instance cult director Stephanie Rothman (Terminal Island) who mixes gauzy erotic dream sequences, comedy and nightmarish neck-biting in very fun fashion.
