Shudder is a subscription-based streaming service featuring the web's most extensive library of horror, suspense, and thriller films and shows. Think of it like Netflix, but for horror nerds.
Shudder offers a seven-day free trial, after which it's $5.99 per month or a one-time payment of $56.99 for a year, which works out to $4.75 a month.
If you've subscribed to Shudder but aren't finding the titles you want, or are just cutting down on costs, it's easy to cancel.
There's no way to cancel through the mobile app, however. If you want to cancel your subscription, you'll need to do it through a browser.
That is, if you signed up through a web browser. If you signed up through your Apple ID, the Google Play Store, PayPal, Amazon, or another provider, you'll need to go through them to cancel.
Here's how to cancel Shudder using the website.
