After diving into sci-fi horror with 2024’s V/H/S/Beyond—we’re still stressing over that skydiving segment—the long-running found-footage series returns in October with a theme so perfect we can’t believe it hasn’t been done yet: V/H/S/Halloween. A first trailer has arrived for the Shudder release, and it’s full of tricks, treats, and screaming freak-outs.
It’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on there, since the clips are taken from the film’s various elements, but it appears we’ll be getting a mix of vintage and 21st-century approaches, with shaky-cam videography taking its place beside what looks like a doorbell camera poised to capture whatever terrors stumble across the porch.
Shudder previously announced the talent contributing to V/H/S/Halloween, but now we also have the titles of their short films:
