Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (March 7): “Recently divorced and reeling, Edgar returns to his childhood home and finds a nefarious looking puppet in his deceased brother’s room. He decides to sell the doll for some quick cash. Girl-next-door Ashley and and comic book pal Markowitz join Edgar for a doomed road trip to an auction at a convention celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the infamous Toulon Murders. All hell breaks loose when a strange force animates the puppets at the convention, setting them on a bloody killing spree that’s motivated by
an evil as old as time. Rebooting 80s favorite PUPPET MASTER into a gloriously wrong gem, PUPPET MASTER: THE LITTLEST REICH is the goriest good time of the year. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE.”

Critters: A New Binge (March 21): “WORLD PREMIERE! This Shudder Exclusive horror-comedy series picks up the tale of the Critters, everyone’s favorite hairy, carnivorous, insatiable aliens from the beloved film franchise.

high-schooler Christopher (Joey Morgan, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse), his crush Dana (Stephi Chin-Salvo, iZOMBIE), his best friend Charlie (Bzhaun Rhoden, Van Helsing), and his mom Veronica (Kirsten Robek, The Edge of Seventeen), whose past will come back to bite them—literally.
