This has been an outstanding year for horror films. From franchise reboots like Scream and Hulu’s Hellraiser to legacy sequels like Halloween Ends to original movies like Smile and The Black Phone, horror has been one of the most popular genres for scare-starved audiences.

While Halloween has passed, that hasn’t stopped the genre from thriving. A welcome new addition to the horror/comedy canon, Blood Relatives, is set for release soon, and Digital Trends has all the info on where and when you can watch it and if it’s worth your time to stream it

Writer/director/actor Noah Segan’s twisted tale of a vampire father forced to take care of his recently discovered teenage daughter (who also bears a pair of fangs) is set for release on streaming service for all things horror. That’s right, Blood Relatives will stream on Shudder.

As any horror aficionado can tell you, Shudder is the one-stop shop for slashers, demons, monsters, and anything that induces blood-curdling terror. The streamer has hundreds of titles, including classic horror movies like The Hills Have Eyes, Prom Night, and Terror Train and modern macabre masterpieces like The Descent and The Stepfather. It also has a selection of original features like Resurrection, Speak No Evil,  and V/H/S/99 as well as documentaries like In Search of Darkness II: The Journey Into 1980s Horror Continues.

When is it streaming?

Blood Relatives will start streaming November 22.

How much does it cost?

Shudder has two main subscription plans. The first and most popular one is a monthly subscription plan that costs $5.99. There are no ads, and every movie and TV series is available on demand.

If you want to continue the horrorfest all year round, you can opt for the annual subscription plan for only $56.99. You can also “add on” Shudder to a variety of other subscription platforms like Prime Video and Hulu for $5.99.

Can I get it for free?

Yes. You can sign up for a seven-day free trial here. If you just want to watch this movie and don’t want to commit to anything, you can simply cancel the free trial before it’s over so it doesn’t automatically renew at the monthly rate.

Is Blood Relatives worth it?

Yes, especially for those looking for laughs instead of hardcore gore. Blood Relatives favors comedy over horror, supplying plenty of dad jokes to make one chuckle and grimace at the same time. It’s still a horror film though, as evidenced by a multitude of scenes showing the oddball father/daughter duo showcasing their bloodthirsty vampiric natures.

Noah Segan, of Knives Out and Glass Onion fame, writes, directs, and stars as the lead character Francis, a 115-year-old Jewish vampire. Victoria Moroles stars as Jane, his rebellious teenage daughter.  The film currently boasts a 91% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 63 critics score on Metacritic.

Blood Relatives is currently playing in select theaters. It will stream on Shudder on November 22.

8 best horror movies of 2024, ranked
A man laughs while fire surrounds him in "Nosferatu."

Has 2024 been a great year for movies? The general consensus right now seems to be that it definitely hasn't been a bad one, but whether 2024 will be looked back on in 10 years as a banner year for Hollywood seems like a slim possibility right now. It's been a year punctuated by a lot of alright or pretty-good movies, with a few gems emerging as the best among a batch of mid-tier titles. If one genre has thrived in 2024, though, it's undoubtedly horror.

Over the past 12 months, genre fans have been treated to a diverse and bold lineup of new horror movies. Some films, like M. Night Shyamalan's Trap and Fede Álvarez's Alien: Romulus, have been fun, low-stakes big-screen horror experiences, while others, like Cuckoo and In a Violent Nature, have taken unforgettable creative swings. Of everything that it's had to offer, here are the eight best horror movies that 2024 has given us.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (December 6-8)
A group of men sit at a table in Conspiracy.

Have you defied gravity yet? If not, you're one of the few who haven't. Wicked is a genuine phenomenon right now, and one of the leading contenders for next year's Oscars. But I haven't taken a trip to Oz yet simply because there's too much good stuff on streaming right now.

That's especially true for Max, which has great films from the present to the distant past. (Yes, they even have 1939's The Wizard of Oz.) If you have a craving for movies that don't contain evil witches, pink-colored princesses, or flying monkeys, well, this list is for you. These movies may have Nazis, porn stars, and real-life artists, but they are all united by their ability to entertain and even enlighten.

Kelly Clarkson blows a kiss and smiles.

Cue the music, Mariah Carey. With Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror, the journey to Christmas is in full swing. Nothing spreads holiday cheer more than a Christmas tree. The most iconic tree stands at Rockefeller Center in New York City. It's the one Kevin McCallister reunited with his mother in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

The Christmas tree lighting ceremony is one of December's best events. About 50,000 multi-colored LED lights will glow on the iconic 74-foot-tall tree in Rockefeller Plaza. It will glow into the New York City night for the entire month, attracting millions of visitors. If you can't make it to New York City, turn on your television to watch the tree lighting ceremony.
