Canceling your Shudder subscription shouldn’t be scary. This step-by-step guide shows you exactly how to cancel Shudder subscription on the website, iPhone/iPad, Android, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, Apple TV Channels, and Samsung smart TVs. We’ll cover what to do before you cancel, what happens after, and how refunds work. Key rule: you must cancel on the same platform where you originally subscribed. (support.shudder.com)

Table of contents

Before You Cancel

  • Know who bills you. Shudder lists multiple sign-up routes; you have to cancel where you subscribed (Shudder.com, Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Roku, Samsung). If you used Amazon’s Shudder Channel, that’s a separate account managed by Amazon. (support.shudder.com)

  • Free trials & timing. Shudder’s trial is typically 7 days; cancel before it renews to avoid charges. Access lasts through the end of your current period. (support.shudder.com)

  • Refund policy (important). Shudder/AMC state they don’t provide refunds or credits for partial periods (unless required by law). Canceling stops future renewals; current access continues until the end of the paid term. (SHUDDER)

Cancel on Shudder.com (direct billing)

Use this if you pay Shudder directly on the website (not via Apple/Google/Amazon/Roku/Samsung).

Step-by-step (web browser)

Step 1: Go to shudder.com and sign in.Step 2: Click My Account (top-right).Step 3: Scroll down and select Cancel membership.Step 4: Confirm the cancellation. You’ll keep access until your current cycle ends. (Business Insider)

If you added Shudder as a Prime Video Channel, cancel in your Amazon account.

  2. Find Shudder → Unsubscribe → confirm (end date will display). (Prime Video)

Roku-billed

If Roku bills you, cancel through Roku.

Apple TV Channels

Samsung Smart TV / Samsung Checkout

If you started Shudder on a Samsung TV (Samsung Checkout), cancel in your Samsung account:

  1. Visit samsungcheckout.com and sign in.

  2. Open Purchase History → Subscriptions.

  3. Select Shudder → Unsubscribe. (On many TVs: Settings → General → System Manager → Samsung Account → Payment Info/Purchase History.) (Samsung Checkout)

What Happens After Cancellation

  • Access until period end. After canceling, you keep streaming until your current billing period ends; auto-renew is off. (SHUDDER)

  • No prorated refunds. AMC/Shudder do not provide refunds or credits for partial periods (unless required by law). For store-billed subs, refunds follow Apple/Google/Amazon/Roku policies. (SHUDDER)

  • Reactivation. You can re-subscribe anytime on the same or a different platform.

Troubleshooting

I can’t find the Cancel button on Shudder.com. You probably subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Roku, or Samsung. Cancel in that platform’s subscription settings instead. (support.shudder.com)

I subscribed on Amazon but can’t use Shudder’s website login. That’s expected—the Prime Video Shudder Channel is a separate subscription managed by Amazon and isn’t usable on Shudder’s site/app. (support.shudder.com)

I uninstalled the app—why am I still billed? Deleting apps doesn’t cancel. Use the proper billing platform steps above (Apple/Google/Amazon/Roku/Samsung). (support.shudder.com)

Free trial question. Trials are typically 7 days; cancel before renewal to avoid charges. Access lasts until the trial ends. (support.shudder.com)

FAQ

Can I cancel Shudder during the free trial? Yes—cancel any time before the trial ends. You’ll keep access until the trial expires. (support.shudder.com)

Does Shudder give refunds after canceling? Per Shudder/AMC terms, no refunds or credits for partial periods (unless required by law). Store-billed refunds, if any, are handled by Apple/Google/Amazon/Roku. (SHUDDER)

Where exactly is cancel on the website? Sign in at shudder.com → My Account → Cancel membership at the bottom of the page.

Is Shudder part of AMC+? AMC+ includes Shudder content, but it’s a separate subscription with its own billing and cancellation rules. (amcplus.com)

Final Thoughts

The fastest way to cancel Shudder subscription is to cancel where you signed up. On the web, use My Account → Cancel membership. On iPhone or Android, cancel via Subscriptions in the App Store or Google Play. For Amazon Channels, Roku, Apple TV Channels, or Samsung TV, use their subscription settings. Remember: Shudder/AMC don’t offer prorated refunds; access continues until the end of your current period.
