The V/H/S/ series is back! The film V/H/S/85 will debut at Fantastic Fest, and on October 6 it will be available on the Shudder platform. Watch the full trailer!
Shudder has released the full trailer for V/H/S/85, the next installment in the long-running found-footage horror anthology. It gives us very little precise detail. Its description reads: Experience harrowing found-footage horror stories that plunge you into the 1980s with V/H/S/85 . Raw fear awaits you…. The V/H/S series began in 2012 and has featured many creators who have gone on to become big names in the genre space, including Adam Wingard ( Godzilla vs. Kong ), Ti West ( X, Pearl ), Jason Eisener ( Dark Side of the Ring ), Justin Benson and Aaron Scott Moorhead ( Moon Knight ), Eduardo Sánchez ( The Blair Witch Project ), Radio Silence ( Scream, Ready or Not ) and Gareth Evans ( The Raid ).
What is a series?
V/H/S combined two strands of horror: found footage horror and analog/nostalgic horror. While the first installment may have been made by filmmakers looking for an affordable platform, the years since 2012 have seen an explosion of ’80s nostalgia and VHS nostalgia that fit well into the existing anthology framework.
From its inception, the V/H/S franchise has been a showcase for both established and emerging horror filmmakers to terrify audiences with innovative takes on the found footage genre. Following the success of last year’s blockbuster V/H/S/94 and this year’s upcoming V/H/S/99 , we’re absolutely thrilled to take Shudder members back to 1985 with a wicked new collection of scares from some of the most radical horror directors working today.
said Shudder CEO Craig Engler.
