Like any anthology, horror or otherwise, the V/H/S series has its hits and misses. Released in 2012, the first V/H/S had a simple concept: an all-star lineup of horror directors (including Joe Swanberg, Ti West, The Black Phone’s Scott Derrickson, and The Guest’s Adam Wingard) making lo-fi, grimy short horror films meant to look like artifacts found on an old VHS tape in a creepy abandoned house. Positive reception for the project set off a boom in themed horror anthologies like The ABCs of Death, Tales of Halloween, and Holidays, which gave up-and-coming horror directors a low-budget proving ground for their work — but also produced a lot of duds among the hits.
