Coming to Shudder | June 2024

June is generally a quiet month on the platforms. Regular programming is over for some, and the vacations are upon us. 

But it seems that Shudder doesn’t live in the same reality. There’s a great line-up on the program for this hot month of June. 

Let’s take a look!

Sensing an ominous aura surrounding the burial site, the team opts to exhume and relocate the ancestral remains immediately.
