Shudder Sharpens Its September With Killer Waves, Babysitter Terror, and Haunted Houses
Shudder isn’t letting summer slip away quietly. This September, the streamer is dropping a fresh slate of exclusives, originals, and cult throwbacks that dive into survival horror, slashers, supernatural hauntings, and even a blood-soaked competition show. From serial killers obsessed with sharks to social media ghost hunters in way over their heads, the lineup promises a packed month for genre fans worldwide.
Dangerous Animals
Shudder Exclusive – Directed by Sean Byrne
Streaming September 5 – US Only
Sean Byrne (The Loved Ones, The Devil’s Candy) returns with a brutal oceanic thriller. Dangerous Animals follows Zephyr (Hassie Harrison, Yellowstone), a rebellious surfer abducted by a shark-obsessed killer (Jai Courtney, American Primeval). Trapped on his boat, she faces the ocean’s depths and a predator with a ritualistic plan that feeds more than just his obsession.
Night of the Reaper
Shudder Original – Directed by Brandon Christensen
Streaming September 19 – US, CA, AU, NZ, UKI
In the wake of the brutal murder of a teenaged babysitter, College Student Deena returns home for the weekend and is roped into a babysitting gig of her own. When the local sheriff is mailed a piece of evidence that proves the murder may not have been an isolated incident, he is led on a scavenger hunt to reveal the killer may be planning a sequel.
House on Eden
Shudder Original – Directed by Kris Collins
Streaming September 26 – US, CA, AU, NZ, UKI
Social media stars Kris Collins (@KallMeKris), Celina Myers (@CelinaSpookyBoo), and Jason-Christopher Myers (Nobody Gets Out Alive) step into the found-footage fire with House on Eden. The trio of paranormal investigators expect cheap scares, but when they’re diverted to a remote house in the woods, they stumble into something older, darker, and impossibly real.
