V/H/S Halloween directors say found-footage horror is still ‘hard AF’

The biggest exception to that rule is the ongoing V/H/S series, a horror anthology that spawned its own boom in short-form horror and has kept the found-footage dream alive through seven themed installments. The eighth in the series, 2025’s V/H/S Halloween, features five shorts that all take place around Halloween, strung together with a wrapper story (“Diet Phantasma”) that has a brutally disengaged scientist leading a series of consumer product tests on a diet cola that kills the people sampling it in a variety of messy, over-the-top ways.
