Along with lots to watch, Shudder is also bringing back their interactive Halfway to Halloween Hotline, featuring a real live human, VP of programming, curator extraordinaire, Samuel Zimmerman providing personalized horror movie recommendations. Every Friday in April from 3 pm – 4 pm ET, members are invited to ring Zimmerman on the hotline for customized horror viewing recommendations from Shudder’s expansive film collection – ranging from his favorite genre films of all time to highly anticipated new releases. A new hotline phone number will be announced each Friday on Shudder’s social media platforms.
Shudder’s General Manager Craig Engler, says, “We’re curating a slate of the best in horror all year round, but April and October give us a unique opportunity to connect with and hear from our members directly about the movies they’re craving and what they love most about the genre. And we’re pairing that with an impressive lineup of new, fan-favorite titles, as we continue to go deep on the genre like only Shudder can.”
