Shudder Unleashes June Horror Slate Featuring Best Wishes to All and Ash

Summer screams start early with Shudder’s stacked June lineup, headlined by Shimotsu’s Best Wishes to All.

Shudder Unleashes a Summer Storm of Horror With June Lineup Featuring ‘Best Wishes to All’, ‘Ash’, and More

Shudder isn’t letting up on the gas pedal this June, dropping a full-throttle lineup packed with originals, exclusives, cult classics, and fan-favorite returning titles. Fresh off the buzz, Best Wishes to All, a deeply eerie feature from Yûta Shimotsu we highlighted earlier this week, officially lands on June 13. If the stills didn’t already give you chills, wait until you catch the slow unraveling of sanity in this dread-drenched Japanese mind-bender. It kicks off a packed month of fear that’s not holding anything back.

Joining Shimotsu’s supernatural drama is ASH, an original psychological survival thriller from genre-bender Flying Lotus, hitting Shudder on June 20. Eiza González and Aaron Paul lead this brutal, trippy descent into madness on a remote alien planet—and based on the trailer, it’s one to watch with the lights off and your paranoia turned up. That same night, fans can double down with KUSO for a full-blown FlyLo fever dream.

Also dropping June 1 are two James Wan-directed staples—Dead Silence and Insidious—reaffirming Shudder’s commitment to modern genre canon. And for anthology lovers, the platform’s diving into murder, Satanic panic, and vintage motel hell with their new original series Hell Motel, premiering June 17.

Fans of deep-cut genre chaos will also be thrilled to hear that all four seasons of The Strain arrive June 22. Guillermo del Toro’s epic take on vampirism returns just in time for your weekend binge, with Corey Stoll and David Bradley leading a twisted war against the ancient infected.

Fridays get even more rowdy thanks to The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, returning live on June 6 with a brand-new season. As always, the first Friday of each month belongs to Joe Bob and Darcy, who’ll be hosting double features guaranteed to get horror fiends talking.

And if that’s not enough, Shudder is also going deep into its vault with Shudder Resurrected, bringing classics like Lips of Blood, The Living Dead Girl, and The Nude Vampire back into the fold—perfect for those who like their horror slow, stylish, and soaked in Eurogore.

Bottom line? Whether you’re craving psychological horror, bloodsoaked revenge, sci-fi dread, or 70s erotica with fangs, Shudder’s got something lurking in the dark for you. The full programming schedule is live now, so clear your queue, charge the remote, and prep for one hell of a haunted summer.
