Everything coming to Shudder in August 2024, including original series Horror’s Greatest
As a dedicated gamer and horror enthusiast with a deep appreciation for all things spooky, I’m thrilled to see Shudder’s latest lineup for August! The anticipation is palpable as they add two new original films and an original series to their library. Although the number of titles may be fewer this month, it seems they might be saving some for September – a time when the Halloween spirit truly comes alive.
As a dedicated horror fan with years of experience under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for new and exciting additions to satiate my insatiable appetite for fear-inducing content. So, when Shudder announced their August lineup, I couldn’t help but feel a thrill run down my spine. With two fresh original films and an enticing new series joining their roster, I’m eagerly anticipating the chilling experiences they have in store for us.
Four episodes are left in season six of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs. Three of these episodes will be broadcast in August: the first two on consecutive Fridays (August 2 and 16), and the last one on August 30. On-demand viewing should be possible the following Sundays for each episode.
August 1
“A Nightmare on Elm Street” (1984) – This horrifying classic is now available on Shudder, bringing back memories of Nancy and her friends’ terrifying nightmares. In their sleep, they are haunted by a grotesquely scarred man named Freddy Krueger. Don’t miss out on this must-see cinematic experience.
Ten years following the initial release of “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” Wes Craven surprised audiences with a fresh take on the franchise in the form of “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.” This innovative sequel stood out due to its meta elements: Heather Langenkamp, Robert Englund, and John Saxon portrayed themselves instead of their previous characters. Even director Wes Craven joined the cast, playing a version of himself.
The Case of Insanity’s Maw – In this eerie homage to H. P. Lovecraft, Sam Neill portrays John Trent, a previous insurance investigator confined in a mental institution. He relates to Dr. Wrenn (David Warner) that he was commissioned to probe the vanishing act of horror novelist Sutter Cane. His outlandish account appears far-fetched, yet is it genuinely untrue?
“Dawn of the Dead” (2004) – As an avid fan of the 1978 original “Dawn of the Dead,” I was not convinced that Zack Snyder’s remake would capture my heart to the same extent. Surprisingly, it did. The film features subtle tributes to its predecessor, including naming the department store at the mall after the actress who portrayed Fran in the original – Gaylen Ross.
The Dead Mother – Leire’s mother is killed by a burglar named Ismael, who also leaves Leire disabled after shooting her in the head. Years later, Ismael sees Leire and becomes convinced that she recognizes him. He abducts her and holds her for ransom, but the two begin to develop a bond, which causes him to rethink his plan to kill her.
Faces of Death – Ah, the horror projects of the late 1970s! Faces of Death achieved notoriety thanks to using footage featuring real deaths. While critics hated it, the general public ate it up, and multiple sequels were released in later years.
August 2
In this science fiction movie, the actors Stephen Dorff from “The Gate” and “Blade,” Scott Bakula known for his roles in “Lord of Illusions” and “Quantum Leap,” and Bella Thorne star. The plot revolves around two enigmatic brothers who seize a wealthy man as he pursues immortality. Concurrently, an alluring woman assists them on a voyage of self-exploration.
August 5
A cab driver named Luz, featured in the 2018 German movie, finds herself at the police station following a car accident. Unluckily, she’s trailed by a demon who develops an unhealthy infatuation with her.
August 16
“The Enchanted Bracelet and the Vanished Guardian” (An Exclusive from Shudder) – A tribal shaman instructs Mila to bring back a magical bracelet to a secluded place called the “Dancing Village.” Her cousin and companions join her on this journey. Upon arrival, they shockingly find that the previous guardian has deceased, and the new one is nowhere to be found.
August 19
In “The Deeper You Dig,” a man involved in a car accident with a young woman following a night of excessive drinking unwittingly invites trouble when he brings her to his newly acquired shabby residence, where events take a turn for the worse.
August 23
“Hell Hole” (Shudder Original)
August 27
