V/H/S/Halloween is a welcome return to form for the long running found footage anthology series, proving that the franchise still has plenty of chaotic energy and inventive scares left in it. After a few uneven entries over the years, this 2025 installment leans hard into what made the original films memorable: grainy DIY aesthetics, frantic camera work, and that unmistakable feeling that you’re watching something you probably shouldn't. The Halloween theme gives the segments a cohesive backbone, and the film recaptures the scrappy creativity that fans have been craving.
Several stories stand out as some of the strongest the series has offered in years. One segment builds tension with masterful practical effects and a clever twist on Halloween night urban legends, while another embraces pure, gleeful insanity with a chaotic finale that feels ripped straight from the golden era of V/H/S. The filmmakers clearly understand the anthology's roots and push them forward with confidence. V/H/S/Halloween isn't just a seasonal treat, it's a revitalization of the franchise, and one that will leave longtime fans grinning through the screams.
