Redeem now

Shudder is a subscription-based streaming service featuring the web's most extensive library of horror, suspense, and thriller films and shows. Think of it like Netflix, but for horror nerds. 

Shudder offers a seven-day free trial, after which it's $5.99 per month or a one-time payment of $56.99 for a year, which works out to $4.75 a month. 

If you've subscribed to Shudder but aren't finding the titles you want, or are just cutting down on costs, it's easy to cancel. 

There's no way to cancel through the mobile app, however. If you want to cancel your subscription, you'll need to do it through a browser.

That is, if you signed up through a web browser. If you signed up through your Apple ID, the Google Play Store, PayPal, Amazon, or another provider, you'll need to go through them to cancel.

Here's how to cancel Shudder using the website.

How to cancel Shudder through your web browser

1. Open a web browser window and go to shudder.com on your desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. 

2. Click "My Account" at the top-right corner of the page.

4. Confirm your cancellation on the next page by scrolling to the bottom and choosing "I want to cancel."

5. On the following page, re-confirm your cancellation by clicking "No thanks, finish my cancellation." You should then see a message confirming your cancellation.

You'll need to confirm your cancellation twice. Sophie Putka/Business Insider
