 Thanks for checking out this video. You guys let's talk about something that I've been thinking about a decent amount recently And that is the streaming horror service shutter For people out there who are watching this most likely you're you've clicked on it because you know a little something about shutter Or you're into horror or whatever But let me tell you something up front in case you don't want to end up watching the entire video Although I would really you know like it if you would watch the entire video But I Recommend it at this point. I definitely recommend it There was a point where I was feeling a little more wishy-washy about the actual service a few years ago when I initially signed up But at this point this is a hard recommend for me you if you're into horror If you if you brand yourself a big horror fan, there is no reason to not have shutter at this point I know it's a double negative, but sorry about that Grammatically speaking I shouldn't have done that anyway If you're a horror fan, this is a must at this point. So about two years ago when I signed up for shutter I did it through a free trial It was like a little like promo card that I ended up getting through one of the boxes that I was getting I think it was a nerd or horror block at the time I'm like you're wrong on that. Maybe this box of dread probably box of dread actually which There's a problem with that right now, but I'm not going in into that on this So When I initially signed up II I was like oh, I'm gonna check out what this is You know it's horror movies and it's horror TV shows all in one place So it's kind of like a Netflix, but it's a Netflix for people who are into horror, and I'm like I'm in the horror Let's do this thing so when I signed up for it. It was a Little I mean they'll give you like a 30 day I believe free trial and then after that it's like a lot of streaming services Then they'll start charging you because they will usually get a credit card up front so that when you Inevitably forgets to cancel on time. They at least get a month out of you But for this service when I when I let it roll over to actually paying for it I was like are you serious like this is cheap So then I looked into it and I was like monthly versus just any annual pay for an entire year I might as well pay for an entire year because it's not that much now currently where it sits If you're gonna go month-to-month, which that's fine. You can do that. It's 499 a month. Yes 499 a month. It's five bucks for a month like at this point Netflix they're only they're streaming is I think more than double that at this point I know they've had some paying or some cost increases over time As far as I know over the two years there hasn't been anything for shutter So you're gonna do month-to-month five bucks five bucks 30 well, okay five bucks 29 to 31 days of access Depending on the month is what you end up getting for that to all you can watch horror movies and horror shows now Initially when I signed up. I was like what's the selection like so the selection wasn't that great initially when I signed up They they would have a well-known thing here or there, but for the most part it was you know Less or known like more independent films some of their original stuff that they're doing themselves much like Netflix does their own stuff Shutter is doing their own stuff So it was a lot of that stuff and then like second runs of some some TV shows that were horror related So I was like, you know, I can find a thing here there that I like to watch and for like five bucks a month It's not that big of a deal But when you sign up for annually that drops to $3.99 a month instead of $4.99 a month, so you pay it all up front. It's a little bit less than $50 So a little less than $50 for all the horror movies and shows you can watch in a year If that doesn't screen value I don't know what does and I will say right here since I'm pushing this so hard No affiliation with shutter. I don't know anyone who works at shutter. They haven't reached out to me I don't get anything for free. I've been paying for about two years I'm just a guy. I'm just I'm just a guy who started watching it and decided I want to talk to people about this and really give them the heads up that if you're big into horror This is the time to get involved. Now. Why is this the time in particular to get involved with shutter? That's because they stepped their game up huge Over the past few months. So like I was saying originally when I signed up It was the selection was yeah, you know, you got a little bit a little bit of good stuff here and there Lately, they've been really pulling out the stops and it's really been since August-September I think is when things have really been cycling in that I've been like, oh, they got they got that they have that So some of the things that they've been starting to do they had a run of like Dario or Argento films on there Like a bunch of Dario Argento. They had some of the original Halloween films. They've just recently put on a Bunch of Stephen King related movies. I'm talking like Salem's lot Kujo They don't have the shining Netflix has a shining at the moment, but Kujo Salem's lot Silver bullet Yeah, I can't oh pets I'm Terry Can't we can't remember them all because you know, oh misery. I believe is on there, too There's so many Stephen King related movies. It's you know, I can't name them all but there's a lot Trust me the other thing is they put not long ago like a bunch of Alfred Hitchcock films on there And honestly, I hadn't seen any Alfred Hitchcock for because for a large part of my life I was like I only want to watch movies that are more modern and from the 80s because of that was my childhood But when I saw that on there, I'm like, well, why not I'm paying for this service. It's right there So I checked it out and Alfred Hitchcock There it the people don't talk about him in Wonderful ways for no reason. It's outstanding and what he does with light and shadows Crazy awesome. So there are a bunch of those films still on there right now Plus they just started to get some real recognition with some of their original material one in particular That's pretty recent. It's called revenge my personal feeling on the film. It is a good film It is definitely worth watching. I don't think it's as great as people are giving it credit at the moment But it is definitely worth watching. I have a few actual issues with that film And if enough people actually want to know about that I could probably do a video to like really break that film down and my feelings on it I would probably have to rewatch and take notes though, but I wouldn't be opposed to that Which leads me to another thing if he if in general people you guys want me to like do reviews on Movies on shutter or shows on shutter or whatever just let me know I could even try and make it like a weekly thing or a bi-weekly thing or like what if I've been watching on it What's good? What's not anyway, but put comments down there and not just related to that in particular But just horror in general, excuse me. I want to talk about horror. I'm a horror nerd I love it. So let's just talk about horror down there Also, help me out with a subscribe if you can while I'm talking about this stuff and a thumbs up would be cool The thumbs up doesn't matter as much as the subscribe subscribe can go a long way Also, just let me know in general. Do you like it when I do videos like this? Do you want to see more of this stuff like talking about these types of things bringing down my feelings on it? So anyway back, I know it's a little scattered Back to what I was talking about. So the selection is so good at the moment on shutter And it's it's just exploded like I said, it's been since like August September that it just got crazy good The five dollars a month if you're paying just monthly is an insane deal to be able to get access to the you know Argento Hitchcock King all that stuff I'm telling you. It's it's well worth it. And now I want to talk about The biggest obsession of mine that shutter did most recently I believe they they just started this back in like it's like June or July I think it is they gave another shot to Joe Bob Briggs I don't know if people out there know who he is for people who don't know about Joe Bob Briggs There was a show on TNT in the 90s. I want to say mid to late 90s It was called monster vision now I didn't really watch it at the time, but I remember catching pieces of it here and there when I was in high school Basically what the show was is it was like the late-night slot that would just go from real late all the way until the morning Where they didn't really have anything? Program they would just show horror movies and Joe Bob this guy It's not his actual name, but he created this persona of Joe Bob Briggs guy with a real thick Texas accent Would just hang out and when they went to commercials He would talk a little bit about the film He would you know be a little funny tell some jokes here and there say some he says some pretty funny stuff honestly But he would also tell a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff about the actual film Now for someone like me. I love that kind of stuff. I'm such a horror film nerd I want to know the behind-the-scenes stuff like how did they get to writing this script? How did they get to you know coming up with the practical effects? They did for what are the issues that happen on set you know things like that and he talks about some of that stuff And it's really really cool. I love it So they gave him another shot that was like june or july of this year I believe and he was doing like a 24-hour thing where he's just you know was streaming it was showing live and He was just doing all these films and it was better this time as opposed to when he was on monster vision because that was on cable So it was edited with shutter not edited You know the the nudity the gore the bad language all that stuff just in there So makes even better also no commercials. So he was the commercial in essence whenever he would cut back So you've got more of him. He got to tell more of his stories and be funnier basically. So That ended up crashing the service Because it was so popular people were flocking to it now It's become very very popular and a lot of people are saying man more Joe Bob more Joe Bob more Joe Bob Smarch, you know shutter being smart locked him down for some more So they did a dinners of death which was actually the night of Thanksgiving where he did four films and I ended up watching one of them, but If you if you subscribe You're a paying customer of shutter than all these all of those past shows are available for you to watch So you can do that and that's what I've been doing I've been going back to the ones I missed and watching those and really enjoying it So there's a very Joe Bob Christmas coming up on the Friday the 21st of December so a week from tomorrow and When I'm filming this a week from tomorrow And I heard I don't know if this is 100% true But I heard that shutter was going to be giving him for a limited run a Weekly or bi-weekly show where he'd do like one or two films on like a Friday night or something like that So if that is the case, I'm all in on that. That's the thing I'm loving most on shutter, but even if Joe Bob Briggs stuff was not on there I would still be in because like I told you all these huge Name films are on there plus some real hidden gems, you know and On Twitter, I was actually just looking today at shutters account and they were tweeting about having people Who are subscribers just make recommendations for each other and there are people putting a bunch of recommendations For like oh this movie is awesome. This movie is awesome. This show is awesome stuff like that So they're also kind of like getting community going. Will it always stay at that amazing price? Probably not because with you know, hey everyone we are consumers as we know nothing ever gets cheaper And it usually never stays the same it usually just goes up in price. So get on it now while you can That's all I'm saying. Enjoy it super cheap at the moment while you can because it is so worth it It is so worth it and like I said before I don't know anyone who works at shutter. Shutters not talk to me I'm not getting anything for free. Nothing. This is just because I'm a fan I'm really digging it and to be honest. This was getting me through the holidays Because I'm a person love horror films my favorite. How my favorite holiday is Halloween And I'm not that big of a fan of like Thanksgiving and Christmas And everything in between because there's so many obligations So many obligations people just expect so much from you and it's all about like cheeriness and it's not about Practical effects and gore and and suspenseful horror So but I'm just keeping it going because Shutter man, and that's another thing is they they've been updating some stuff with the holidays Like they put on Christmas evil, which is a film that John Waters said is like amazing one of his favorite Christmas moves. I think he said his favorite Christmas movie. I like John Waters a lot. He's local here I'm near Baltimore. He's a he's a local hero and Silent night deadly night and just today actually on December 13th They dropped a their own original called all the creatures were stirring. I plan to watch it at some point So anyway, I don't need to bore you guys more with what I've been watching on shutter Unless that's something you want to hear because we can do that too But yeah comments down below.
