Horror fans, get ready for another month of spine-tingling entertainment on Shudder. This May, the streaming service brings you a mix of original and exclusive films and series, as well as exciting additions to its already-extensive library of horror, thriller, and supernatural content.

One of the standout offerings this month is the Shudder Original series, Slasher: Ripper. Set in the late 19th century, the series stars Eric McCormack as a tycoon overseeing a city on the brink of a social upheaval. But when a killer dubbed The Widow starts targeting the rich and powerful, newly promoted detective Kenneth Rijkers must stop them before it’s too late. The series premieres on May 4th, with the final episodes airing on May 11th.

If you’re looking for a bone-chilling film, Huesera: The Bone Woman will premiere on May 12th. Starring Sonia Couoh, Alfonso Dosal, and Mayra Batalla, the film follows a pregnant woman who realises that something is off when she’s not as happy as an expectant mother should be.

On May 22nd, horror fans can tune in to the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards 2023.

Wrapping up the month is another Shudder Original film, Influencer. When social media influencer Madison meets a free-spirited traveler named CW, she’s intrigued by the latter’s uninhibited way of living. But as their relationship takes a darker turn, Madison realizes that things are not as they seem. Influencer will premiere on May 26th.
