It was once reasonably reliable, for at least a decade or
so, that if it were the Halloween season, we would get one new entry into a
major horror franchise. It was Saw for a while, then Paranormal
Activity, and then there seemed to be a gap. That is, until Shudder decided
to bring together a new V/H/S entry each October. Truthfully, I was a
fan of the series from the first film, even when its quality ebbs and flows, so
the decision to make this a yearly event was very welcome in my house. Last
year, they started to morph the anthology series into more thematic entries,
with the sci-fi slanted V/H/S/Beyond, so with bated breath we all
awaited to find out what the 2025 edition would be.
Turns out they called it V/H/S/Halloween. Oh. Perhaps
not the most thrilling or unique choice for a theme, but here we are.
