Halloween may be long behind us. But as festive cheer sets in that doesn’t mean there aren’t still plenty of scares to be had over the holidays. So today we’re taking a look at all the new titles coming to Shudder in December 2025 to spread holiday fear amongst viewers.
For those following the action on The Boulet Brother’s Dragula: Titans, the second season draws to a close with a huge finale on December 9. Which one of the remaining queens will steal the crown? Our money is on Evah Destruction!

If you’re a fan of Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet then the pair also have The Boulet Brothers’ Holiday of Horrors special premiering on December 16. From The Boulet Brothers (The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula) and David Dastmalchian (The Suicide Squad, Late Night with the Devil) comes The Boulet Brothers’ Holiday of Horrors, a chilling holiday-themed horror special produced by Boulet Brothers’ Productions and Good Fiend Productions. The film features four original shorts, each written and directed by a different genre powerhouse: The Boulet Brothers, Dastmalchian, Akeela Cooper (Malignant, M3GAN), and Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House). Starring Bonnie Aarons (The Nun), Steve Agee (Peacemaker), and Tracie Thoms (Death Proof), the anthology blends atmospheric horror, practical gore, and haunting holiday imagery into a new seasonal classic.
Original films premiering in December include The Haunted Season: The Occupation of the Room which debuts on December 1. From renowned author and filmmaker Kier-La Janisse (Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror), The Haunted Season is a series of chilling horror tales following the classic tradition of telling ghost stories for Christmas. The festive new film in the horror anthology series, The Occupant of the Room is based on the classic chiller of the same name by Algernon Blackwood about a schoolteacher whose late-night arrival at a hotel in the Alps without a reservation leaves him with no option but to accept the room of a missing hotel guest – leading to a sleepless night full of strange and uncanny occurrences.
Reflections in a Dead Diamond, directed by Natasha Kermani then follows on December 5. When the mysterious woman in the room next door disappears, a debonair 70-year-old ex-spy living in a luxury hotel on the Côte d’Azur is confronted by the demons and darlings of a lurid past in which moviemaking, memories and madness collide.
That’s followed by Influencers on December 12. In the sun-drenched countryside of southern France, CW (Cassandra Naud) lives a quiet idyllic life with her girlfriend Diane (Lisa Delamar), hiding a dark obsession with murder and stolen identities. During an anniversary getaway, they cross paths with Charlotte (Georgina Campbell), a bold, alluring influencer whose curiosity quickly turns intrusive. When CW acts on a violent impulse, the consequences spiral out of control, and as Diane begins to suspect the truth, CW’s carefully constructed life threatens to collapse around her.
With the leftover turkey calling to us on December 26 the family can also sit down around the TV to watch The Jester 2 from director Colin Krawchuk. On Halloween night, teen magician Max finds herself locked in a brutal showdown with the Jester, a nightmarish and supernatural trickster with real dark magic and a killer act. As illusions turn lethal and every escape is a trap, Max must pull off the ultimate trick: staying alive. On this deadly night, the only escape is to beat the devil at its own game.
The second season of the brilliant The Creep Tapes also wraps up with its finale on Demceber 19. From writers and executive producers Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice, The Creep Tapes season two will continue to expose a collection of video tapes from the secret vault of the world’s deadliest and most socially uncomfortable serial killer (Duplass). Unfortunately, as the tape rolls, the killer’s questionable intentions surface with his increasingly odd behavior and the victims will learn they may have made a deadly mistake. Guest stars this season include David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil, Dexter: Resurrection) Katie Aselton (The Morning Show, The League), and Robert Longstreet (Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House).
