I don’t know if anyone is as excited about this as I am, but they just announce Joe Bob Briggs will be hosting a 24 horror movie marrathon in the spirit of MonsterVision on Friday the 13th this July.

I saw that. I think I’ll check it out. Curious what movies will be shown.

Here's a FAQ about the marathon and how to watch it.


Get a 60-Day Free Trial. Use promo code "GROUPON60" when you sign-up.

The promo code worked for me, even though I had a previous account. According to the FAQ, it won't be available if you subscribe through VRV, Amazon, etc.

For fans of Joe Bob, James Rolfe of Cinemassacre (aka Angry Video Game Nerd) interviewed him recently on his YouTube channel. There's two videos, one is a full half hour interview and the second is a Q&A from Twitter. Pretty entertaining videos.

I went to that facebook link and the page kept getting smaller then larger then smaller again.

I was thinking about resubscribing after hearing about it on CordCutterNews YouTube show.

Anything that brings back memories of TNT's Monstervision is a good thing.

Update: Just rejoined and thanks for the promo code.

Two questions:
How many streams are you allowed with Shudder(their website;Roku Channel)?
Where is their live TV schedule located?

dvd-4-life

It's too bad that Full Moon doesn't have a 24 hour live channel.

It's also too bad that they are overcome with crappy edited Adult movies that were seen on Cinemax 20 years ago.

dvd-4-life

Still can't find a program listing for Shudder TV and how many streams are allowed.

TheBigDave

There isn't a program listing for Shudder TV.

It's been a while since I watched it. But in the past, there were a dozen movies that played on a loop. Every so often, they would change the movies.

dvd-4-life

It would be nice if they mentioned the title of show or tv series every 15 or 30 minutes on the screen so I would know what I am watching because a lot of the time I miss the very beginning.

It was announced yesterday that Shudder will be the streaming home for the SyFy show Channel Zero.

Season 1 will be available in August, Season 2 September, Season 3 October and season 4 next year.

I’m using a roku stick for tonights marathon and Shudder TV seems to be frozen while loading. Anyone else experiencing this?

dvd-4-life

I am having all kinds of buffering issues using an Roku Express Plus Stick. I just tried watching 2 movies and got through the first but gave up watching the second one because of the said issues.

Mondo Kane

Aw shit. I’m using the same thing

SunMonkey

Yeah. It seems they are totally not ready for a big event (for them) like this.

Xbox One - just a spinning circle
iPad app - connected... but now crashed

Yes, we are aware there's an issue, and we are working on a fix! Stay tuned, everyone! #JBBonShudder #TheLastDriveIn

I just went to their website(using Google Chrome) and it's not working.

I was going too run my 50 ft HDMI cable over to my main tv but seems pointless.

Mike86

Mine won’t even pull up (trying on an iPhone currently).

TheBigDave

Shudder says they're aware of the issue and working on it.

I've been really looking forward to this... how could they not anticipate a surge in traffic for this event. What a fuckup.

Hopefully this proof of demand for more JBB may lead to something more permanent though

dvd-4-life

I told a few people about it but they probably didn't bother with it.

SunMonkey

Blah. I know as soon as I give up, they will fix it. Actually, that is probably their actual fix: wait everyone out until few enough people are watching so their servers work again.

The staggering demand for Joe Bob has temporarily overwhelmed Shudder TV. We’re working to fix it ASAP. Stay tuned!

Hopefully they put the marathon up to watch whenever we want. Even without the screwup I probably wouldn’t have been able to dedicate twenty-four hours as much as I’d love to watch it all.

SunMonkey

Finally, the stream is up for me on my iPad.

Mike86

Still getting errors here on my phone and Xbox One...
