But like all good monsters, it has grown in the shadows. Where once it hosted genre classics and tired B-movies, Shudder now spawns its own killer offspring, with a new "Shudder Original" hitting the service almost every week. Since Shudder began as a tiny, invite-only US platform back in 2015, it has grown like some tentacular beast, sliding its slippery appendages into the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The horror-disinclined may wince at the carousel of depraved thumbnails on Shudder’s home-screen, but for fans of the genre there can surely be no finer job than curating the streaming world’s foremost roster of horror content. Super fun? Well, that depends on your perspective. Engler, after all, is the General Manager of Shudder–the horror-only streaming service that reaches the height of its powers during spooky season. “Super busy, but super fun,” is how he describes the period. For Craig Engler, the weeks leading up to Halloween are the best time of the year.
