The 10 Best ‘V/H/S’ Found-Footage Horror Shorts

Found-footage horror will never die—especially as long as the V/H/S anthology series keeps offering evidence there are still creative ways to use the format. Since 2012 we’ve had seven V/H/S entries, with an eighth, V/H/S/Halloween, arriving October 3. The series as a whole has captured a range of repulsive imagery, as its characters stumble into an alarming range of unnatural situations—with recording devices conveniently capturing everything.

Did Google fix the Pixel 9’s lifeless photo colors on the Pixel 10? I’m shocked.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority What Google did to photo colors on its last few Pixel phones is criminal. There is no other way to say this, but the degradation in color quality and science was so palpable since the Pixel 6, culminating in the washed-out photos of the Pixel 9 Pro. Even me, a staunch Pixel camera fan, had somewhat given up on getting good, lively photos from my phone last year. Every time I snapped a picture, especially in a colorful environment or a warm indoor, the result c
