The V/H/S franchise is back and scarier than ever, just in time for the season of the witch. The series, which began with its initial entry in 2012, promises a new theme with each installment. Themes such as science-fiction, 1994, and 1999 have been covered, but this year’s may prove both the scariest and the most fun: Halloween. Even more exciting is, about two months after announcement, the trailer for V/H/S Halloween has finally been released.
The trailer is itself a total blast. Starting with a 90s-family-movie-esque voice over, the intro back to the Halloween commercials of the early 2000s. The viewer is welcomed to an array of nostalgic, seasonal costumes, decorations and animatronics, only to be blindsided by a switch to ominous music and bloody, grungy terror with autumnal flare. One could most likely expect possessions, masked killers and nightmare-inducing mascot characters. So far, this seems perfect for Goosebumps fans.
Directors for this installment include genre favorites Alex-Ross Perry, Paco Plaza, and more. V/H/S Halloween will be released on SHUDDER on October 3rd.
