There’s also the final episode of Cursed Films that’s about Cannibal Holocaust and Joe Bob is on every Friday night.

Eli Roth’s History of Horror Season 3: This season has the following topics: “Sequels (That Don’t Suck),” “Infections,” “Psychics,” “Apocalyptic Horror,” “Holiday Horror,” and “Mad Scientists.”
Broadcast Signal Intrusion: A video archivist becomes way too into pirate broadcasts and uncovering the dark conspiracy behind them.
Goodnight Mommy: Twin brothers welcome their mother home after reconstructive surgery but is it their mother?
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2: Can you imagine if Twitter was around when this movie came out? I love it so much, no matter what others think of it.
Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III: The trailer for this is so much better than the movie, but then again this movie gets better with each new sequel.
May 2
The Babadook: Less a horror movie and one about bad parenting. I guess if I can’t say anything nice, I shouldn’t say anything.
The Midnight Swim: Dr. Amelia Brooks’ three daughters travel home to settle her affairs after she disappears in Spirit Lake. What have I said about never going back home?
May 6
The Twin: A family moves from Finland from New York to deal with the grief of losing a son. Just reading that line I know that nothing works out for anyone in this movie.
May 9
Popcorn: One of my favorite weird movies, I’m so excited that this film has the potential to reach a larger audience on Shudder.
The Stylist: This modern slasher needs more eyes on it, because it gets so much right. This was one of my favorite films of 2020.
A Ghost Waits: Sometimes, when you try and clean a house of a ghost, you end up falling in love.
May 12
The Sadness: This Taiwan-shot zombie movie has been compared to the comic book Crossed and is said to be the roughest movie in some time. I’m looking forward to this!

Brain Damage: Welcome back to Shudder, Aylmer!
May 19
The Found Footage Phenomenon: As much as I dislike this style of movie, the documentary is pretty wonderful.

May 24
The Prowler: In case you ever wondered what my favorite slasher is, it’s this movie.
May 26
A Banquet: This film may not totally stick the landing, but it has some big ideas and is aiming for the fences. Is a young girl inspired by the divine? Or has she lost her mind?
May 30
The Unseen: Teens are on the way to a music festival and end up in a scary house. In 1980, this was enough for us.
Demon Wind: Magic tricks, an evil house, a nonsensical plot — I own the t-shirt.
May 31
Kolobos: An experimental new way of making movies leads to actors dying for real.
