Rob Zombie’s 31 to Make You Shudder

The horror service Shudder continues to show dominance over the other streaming services by whipping a serious amount of ass. Need more proof? Variety is reporting that Rob Zombie’s latest horror film, 31, is arriving as an exclusive on the subscription horror streaming service in December.
It’s one of 60 titles that Shudder is adding next month as the service aims to establish itself as a darker and scarier alternative to Netflix. Shudder, which is run by AMC Networks, launched in beta last summer. The service is available on the web as well as on mobile devices and on Roku streaming devices, and it costs consumers $4.99 per month. Shudder is also available through Amazon Channels, the subscription video services platform operated by Amazon, as well as Ellation’s recently launched video subscription bundle VRV.
