AMC has begun an invite-only beta test of its new horror-centric video service called Shudder.

Shudder is a brand new beta-streaming service that features more than 200 horror titles ranging from classics to modern entries to the genre, according to Uproxx.

The best part? The movies are full-length and ad-free versions of the most beloved horror flicks, including old favorites and new releases.

AMC hopes to eventually launch Shudder on a number of TV streaming devices.

Shudder's technology is being powered by and Softbank-owned online video platform Dramafever.

AMC will reportedly launch Shudder.TV, which will show a non-stop schedule of horror films, similar to "Monster Fest," which would air scary movies for two full weeks around Halloween, Uproxx reported.

Once Shudder launches, it will be available on its website, iOS, Android and Roku devices.

Here are more details about the service, according to Variety:

Consumers who previously signed up on Shudder's public pre-launch website have started to get invites over the last 24 hours, and can now join the service for two free months. After that, Shudder is charging $4.99 a month or $49.99 for a full year. An AMC Networks spokesperson confirmed the beta test Tuesday, but said that there's no firm date yet for Shudder coming out of beta.

Shudder currently offers access to more than 200 movies, including titles like the Korean horror movie "A Tale of Two Sisters," cult classic "Nosferatu" and Swedish cult vampire movie "Let the Right One In." The site also features curated collections for topics like "urban decay" or "romantic bloodsuckers."
