Where can I watch The Changling?

(Watch on Shudder) Peter Medak’s 1980 ghost story stars George C. Scott as a professional pianist who loses his wife and daughter in a car accident. Soon thereafter, he moves into a ramshackle mansion that’s absolutely the wrong landing spot for anyone who sincerely needs some quiet time to recover from a horrific tragedy. Or maybe it’s the best landing spot, since the further Scott’s character pursues the mystery-slash-conspiracy of the restless spirit in his house, the less time he has to worry about his own trauma. At any rate, The Changeling is legitimately terrifying and has earned its cult-favorite designation by infiltrating the nightmares of just about everyone who watches it.
