Shudder is giving horror fans a reason to stay up late this December with a month of festive chills. Beginning December 1, the streaming platform and AMC+ will premiere The Haunted Season – The Occupant of the Room, followed by new Christmas specials from The Creep Tapes, The Last Drive-In, and The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula. All titles will stream on Shudder and AMC+, with select events airing live on Shudder TV.
The season begins with The Haunted Season: The Occupant of the Room on Sunday, December 1, directed by author and filmmaker Kier-La Janisse, best known for Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror. Adapted from Algernon Blackwood’s classic ghost story, it follows a schoolteacher who arrives at a snowy hotel in the Alps and is offered a room left vacant by a missing guest. What begins as a simple night’s stay turns into an eerie encounter with the unknown.
Next, The Creep Tapes returns on Friday, December 12, from writers and executive producers Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice. In this Christmas episode, Nick faces his therapist’s strange behavior during a late-night holiday session, hinting at more sinister secrets within the killer’s hidden vault of tapes.

Finally, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Holiday of Horrors arrives on December 16, blending gothic glamour and blood-splattered cheer. The anthology features four original shorts directed by The Boulet Brothers, David Dastmalchian, Akeela Cooper, and Kate Siegel, starring Bonnie Aarons, Steve Agee, and Tracie Thoms.
