Since its start far back in 2012 (really another time), “V/H/S” horror anthush series have delivered a reliable selection of tensions and chills with only easy Trunced regularity (the first three films arrived in 2012, 2013 and 2014, before putting a break on the entire Caboodle, just to come back in 2021 and knock out entry one year). And while the series has often been released at the beginning of scary time (read: October), the eighth entry into the franchise is now Walking full Halloween.
Of course, It has the title “V/H/S/HALLOWEEN,” And the latest feature promises all kinds of holiday-suitable tricks and sweets. As of its official synopsis: “A collection of Halloween theme videos emits a series of twisted, blood soaked stories and transforms Trick-or-treat into a struggle for survival.”
The film just had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest over the weekend, and Early reviews have largely been positivePraises its combination of laughingly high jokes and Gory horror. Per is common, the anthology is built on foundage performances and offers five horror shorts and sixths that act as both the framework for the entire endeavor and its own cooling entry.
On the offer this time: stories about evil in diet soda, suburban mothers, crime scenes, halloween sweets, video stores and even a damned LP. In other words, it has everything.
The film’s six segments include “Diet Phantasma” directed by Bryan M. Ferguson, “Fun size” directed by Casper Kelly, “Home Haunt” by Micheline Pitt-Norman & RH Norman, “Kidprint” directed by Alex Ross Perry, “directed Supra SIC infra” Infrafra “Infra.

The entire trailer for ”V/H/S/HALLOWEEN“Leaning into its perfectly calibrated frightening environment, but for all obvious dark things this new appearance shows (dark spaces, bone-knowing sound effects and what is clearly a super Evil Crime Scene), it’s the specific Halloween things that really show up. Have you never thought how odd It is so that we go to a foreign house one night a year to ask them to give our children candy? Or that we pay money for people to jump out on us in confined spaces? Halloween, naturally scary, but also of course really Strange.
Check out the entire trailer for “V/H/S/HALLOWEEN” below. It will start to flow on Shudder on Friday 3 October.
