After partaking in a free trial back in 2019, I took the plunge in 2020 and bought a paid subscription to horror-themed streaming service Shudder. I don’t remember how much I paid to sign up, but it was cheap. I think it was less expensive than a trip to the movies for just myself (pre-Covid). And since I watched over 40 movies on the service last year, I think I got my money’s worth.
Although Shudder’s content is good, their interface leaves a lot to be desired. There’s no way to pull a “previously watched” list from the service, but since almost everything you watch will get stuck in your “continue watching” bar unless you literally wait through the final second of the closing credits, I found the majority of my prior viewings there.
Below, you can see what I watched on Shudder in 2020. It looks like a lot, but it comes out to less than a movie per week, which puts it well behind video games and comic books, and right after Netflix and HBO max as far as time logged in 2020.
