I Stream, You Stream: The FoG Streaming Movie Update for May 2020

This is your monthly curated update for of the newest offerings in horror (mostly) from three of the most popular streaming video services: Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder. All of these have been added to the services between April 20 and May 19, 2020. Leave a comment below to let others know your thoughts about these or anything else that is streaming.


Each of the 5 categories below has a handful of relatively newly available movies in each: Recommended (I've seen and like), Looks Interesting (I haven't personally seen it, but looks intriguing), FOG Canon (subject of a previous or upcoming Fear of God podcast episode, or sequel/prequel/remake-of), Heads Up (I’ve seen & don’t necessarily recommend or I intentionally skipped, but...I think some of you out there would appreciate a heads up). I’ve also included a category of TV Shows for horror/thriller/sci-fi series that have added new seasons and that I recommended or look intriguing.
