How To Delete Your Shudder Account
If you no longer plan to use Shudder and wish to completely delete your account, these next steps will help you to delete your account permanently. There is no other way to deactivate your Shudder account at this time.
Go to your email that is registered with Shudder and start a new message with [email protected] as the recipient and “Request to delete my account” as the subject. Write out your request with “delete my account and database” in bold font and send it.
Once a Shudder customer support representative receives the email, they will begin the process of deactivating your account.
Once processed, you will receive an email stating that your Shudder account will be or has been deleted. While not stated specifically by Shudder, it is safe to assume that once an account is deleted, there’s no getting it back, and a new account will need to be created to use their services again.
Can I Cancel My Shudder Subscription After The Free Trial?
Yes, you can cancel your Shudder subscription anytime through the steps above from your devices. You cannot, however, delete an account at the moment in the apps for iOS and Android. You must write an email stating you wish for the account to be deleted- this prevents any accidental account deletions.
Is A Shudder Subscription Worth It?
If you’re a horror fanatic, enthusiast, and hard-core fan, then absolutely. New content is added weekly, and there is something for every level of horror fan. From the classics to newer horror films, horror series of every subgenre, and original curated content- Shudder has it all.
