There’s nothing quite like streamer schedule day to get us excited for what’s coming soon. We’ve seen what Prime Video has in store for us in February 2025 and now it’s the turn of our favourite horror streamer, Shudder, to tell us what they have planned.
The second month of the year brings with it three new film premiere’s ready to feed your hunger for new horror content. First up, but very much not for Valentine’s Day celebrations is The Dead Thing. That’s followed later in the month by The Birthday which stars Corey Feldman and Little Bites, both films premiere on February 21.
