Monsters & Nightmares Free Trial

Monsters and Nightmares is a horror streaming service from the film distribution company Magnolia Pictures. It includes a curated collection of foreign and genre films from their Magnet Releasing offshoot.

While the focus of this streaming service is horror films, they also include science-fiction titles as well as thrillers and crime documentaries. The catalogue of films on Monsters and Nightmares is quite small, around 50 films and shows, which you can browse and preview on their website.

Monsters and Nightmares can be accessed on many streaming devices via their app and you can also stream content through services such as Amazon Prime Video Channels. On desktop, you can stream through the official website in your browser.

I was able to access Monsters and Nightmares on desktop outside of the United States without a VPN which means the service may be available worldwide.

To get started with Monsters and Nightmares, they offer a 7-day free trial before charging you $2.99/month. You can get this trial anywhere the service is available. Try them all back-to-back and get an extended free trial period.

Below, you’ll see some of the ways you can try Monsters and Nightmares before you subscribe.

Subscribe to Magnolia Selects Instead

Magnolia Pictures also has a couple of other streaming services that they offer with a free trial.

• Magnolia Selects
• Dox Channel
• Warriors and Gangsters

They all draw from Magnolia Pictures catalogue of released films and with the exception of Magnolia Selects, they cater to a particular niche. Monsters and Nightmares is mainly intended for horror fans, Dox Channel carries documentaries and Warriors and Gangsters has action and thrillers.

Magnolia Selects has the biggest catalogue of content of the four streamers and this is because you’ll find everything the other combined niche channels have plus more.

So if you want everything on the Monsters and Nightmares plus a wider range of content, then subscribing to Magnolia Selects is one option that you have. As a horror fan, you’ll be able to find all of what you want to watch in their horror category.

Magnolia Selects is available where ever Monsters and Nightmares is available as an app or on Prime Video and other places.

A free trial lets you decide whether the service is good enough that you’d like to continue. Sometimes, you may decide that it’s not for you or you may just want to get something from the trial period and move on.

If you would like to cancel Monsters and Nightmares, you can do so in the account settings where you subscribed to the free trial. You would not get billed when the trial period expires.

There are no exit surveys to deal with. After you click on cancel in the previous step, your subscription would be canceled and you can see confirmation of that on the next screen.

Price After Monsters & Nightmares Free Trial

Monsters and Nightmares doesn’t have a lot of content but it does have a good bit of recognizable titles from Magnolia Films and Magnet Releasing catalogue.

For this reason, $2.99/month might be a reasonable fee which is what they charge after the free trial.

The service claims that there are new movies added every month which may justify subscribing.

On services like Prime Video where you can access Monsters and Nightmares, you can only subscribe on a monthly basis but on the website, you can pay annually. The cost of an annual subscription is $29.99/year.

You can choose and confirm your subscription during the signup process so that you know what to expect when you’re billed after the free trial.

What’s on Monsters and Nightmares?

Monsters and Nightmares carries films that were released by Magnolia Pictures and Magnet Releasing. The streamer is a niche service that caters to horror fans but there are also some science fiction, and crime documentary titles available as well.

You may recognize some of the titles such as Let The Right One In and Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, two of their most popular and acclaimed titles.

Foreign horror films are also one of the categories and include titles like I Saw The Devil and Here Comes The Devil.

Other horror film titles include:

Thrillers and science fiction titles are also included as well as dark comedy.

There are also a couple of shows with a dark nature to them including Murder Maps which chronicles famous killers throughout history, Murderers and their Mothers and Myths & Monsters.

All the titles available on Monsters and Nightmares are available to preview no matter where you sign up for your free trial.

Should You Get Monsters and Nightmares?

Is Monsters and Nightmares worth it?

For fans of the horror genre, there are some decent offerings including foreign horror movies and some familiar titles. There aren’t a lot of titles (maybe about four dozen) but there are new films being added every month.

If you want even more than just horror, you may want to consider subscribing to Magnolia Selects instead as you will get all the titles on Monsters and Nightmares plus a lot more other films.

Another thing I must mention is that you may want to skip subscribing through the Monsters and Nightmares website. I don’t know if it’s just me but I encountered multiple errors while using the site, the biggest one being that I couldn’t get any of the titles to play.

At first, I thought maybe it was because I wasn’t using a VPN but it didn’t work with a VPN either. And if using or not using a VPN was the problem then that could have been communicated a lot clearer.

Besides the video playback error, I also encountered errors with signing up using Facebook and using PayPal as a billing option.

In conclusion, if you want to subscribe to Monsters and Nightmares starting with a free trial, it may be best to sign up via an app (if they offer the trial) or subscribe via Prime Video channels.
