The found-footage horror franchise that refuses to die is back with a seasonal twist. A new teaser trailer has dropped for “V/H/S/Halloween,” the latest entry in the long-running anthology series that first terrorized audiences in 2012 and has since grown into a cult favorite. This time around, the cursed videotapes are loaded with Halloween nightmares, unleashing twisted, blood-soaked stories that turn trick-or-treat into a fight for survival. The film will world premiere at Fantastic Fest next month before arriving exclusively on Shudder on October 3, perfectly timed for spooky season viewing.

Like past installments, “V/H/S/Halloween” brings together an eclectic mix of filmmakers, each offering their own deranged vision of horror. The anthology features “Diet Phantasma” from Bryan M. Ferguson, “Fun Size” by “Too Many Cooks” creator Casper Kelly, “Home Haunt” by Micheline Pitt-Norman and R.H. Norman, “Kidprint” directed by indie filmmaker Alex Ross Perry, “Ut Supra Sic Infra” from “REC” co-director Paco Plaza, and “Coochie Coochie Coo” from Anna Zlokovic, whose breakout short “Appendage” was adapted into a Hulu feature last year.
The “V/H/S” films have always thrived on their blend of lo-fi aesthetics, experimental storytelling, and gonzo scares, serving as a launching pad for genre filmmakers to push boundaries. With its Halloween framing, this new installment leans even further into the series’ chaotic energy, delivering tales built for late-night frights and VHS-era nastiness. If the teaser is any indication, “V/H/S/Halloween” looks set to extend the franchise’s streak of sick, inventive terror while celebrating the holiday most synonymous with horror itself.
