Television

Episodes of the films were aired in ABS-CBN, as part of the channel's Shake, Rattle & Roll: Sabado Special block every Saturday. ^[1]

Other media

A full-length remake of the segment "Pridyider", directed by Rico Maria Ilarde, was released on September 19, 2012.

In 2016, an unofficial graphic novel adaptation of the second film was published under the title Shake, Rattle & Roll: Kahindik-hindik na Klasikong Katatakutan. The work contains three stories based on the film and was authored by Adam David, Carljoe Javier, Mervin Malonzo, and Noel Pascual.

Overview

The Shake, Rattle & Roll films feature themes such as Filipino supernatural beings (including aswang s, engkanto s, and tiyanak s), as well as superstitions, urban legends, extraterrestrials, cults, and spirit possession.

While the series incorporates comedic elements, its primary focus remains on horror. Several installments, notably the fifth, eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and seventeenth entries, suggest interconnected narratives, implying a shared universe. Although most episodes are set during the Christmas season to coincide with the films' holiday release schedule, only the "Christmas Tree" segment from the ninth film directly references Christmas. ^[1]
