Recently the niche horror film-themed streaming service Shudder changed their regular one-week free trial promotion to a one-month free trial one. The new promo was done because a lot of people have been stuck at home self-isolating and looking for things to watch.
Well it turns out to have been a smash hit as Shudder general manager Craig Engler tells EW it “is by far the most successful promo code in Shudder history,” leading to record numbers of subscribers and viewership going through the roof – they’re even seeing above Halloween-level interest in horror at this time.
In fact according to their statistics, subscribers are actually demanding more pandemic-themed programming right now even with world events going on. Engler says: “The number one request I get personally is to add more pandemic programming to the service.”
Shudder is continuing to urge fans to subscribe to the service with the ‘SHUTIN’ promotion code which allows the free access for a month option.
