Frequently asked questions

  • Is Shudder available outside the US?

    Yes. Shudder is available in the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, Germany, Austria, and several other countries. The US catalog contains roughly 40% more titles than European catalogs — a VPN gives access to the full US library.

  • Is the catalog the same as in the US?

    No. The Shudder EU catalog has around 2,000 titles compared to 3,200+ in the US. Cult titles like Noroi: The Curse, Lake Mungo, and Pontypool are absent in Europe but accessible via Shudder US with a VPN.

  • How do I cancel my free trial?

    Go to Settings > Account from the app or at Shudder.com. No charges are applied if you cancel before the 7-day trial ends. Some sign-up methods (Apple, Google) require cancellation through their respective app stores.
