V/H/S/Halloween (2025): Plot, Cast & Where to Watch

V/H/S/Halloween plot summary (no spoilers)

October 31st is the one night a year when strangers knock on doors and masks are welcome. V/H/S/Halloween uses that tradition as the backdrop for a new collection of found-footage horror. The film is built from a stack of videotapes, each holding its own short story tied to the holiday. Trick-or-treating, candy hauls and costumed neighbourhoods are the starting point, but each recording drifts somewhere darker. A familiar seasonal ritual becomes a fight to make it to morning.

As in earlier V/H/S films, the structure is an anthology. Separate filmmakers deliver their own segments, so the tone, setting and style change from tape to tape. Credited segments include “Coochie Coochie Coo” and the Spanish-language “Ut Supra Sic Infra”. The material listed for the film points to witches, supernatural threats, gore and some brutal violence, all filtered through the grainy, handheld look the series is known for.

The film runs 115 minutes and is dialogue-driven in English and Spanish.
