Halloween will have soon come and gone, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop watching spooky movies or scary TV shows. While virtually every streamer has a horror selection — a prime example being the best horror movies on Netflix — there’s only one service that is synonymous with the genre: Shudder.
In November 2023, the streamer’s programming includes the latest batch of episodes of the hit original series The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, the streaming debut of birth/rebirth, and underrated repertory movies like Berberian Sound Studio. Halloween may be fleeting, but it’s always a good time to subscribe to Shudder and get scared out of your wits.

According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
