The V/H/S franchise will be tackling the SCP Foundation with V/H/S: SCP in the near future, but that’s not actually the next installment in Shudder’s found footage franchise.
Variety announces this morning that V/H/S/MIXTAPE will premiere October 9, 2026!
Directors for the music-themed V/H/S/MIXTAPE include Ernest Dickerson (Demon Knight), Flying Lotus (Ash), Ghost’s Tobias Forge, David Moreau (MadS), RZA and Renee Zhan, with the film featuring GWAR and effects from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
Variety explains that Flying Lotus contributes music video interludes to the film, while Tobias Forge directs a music video. “Heavy metal icons GWAR also make a featured appearance.”
Shudder previews, “V/H/S/MIXTAPE cranks the signature found-footage horror up to eleven with an electrifying new anthology where music and sound become the source of terror. United by a theme that explores the power of music, rhythm, and audio to haunt, possess, and destroy, the film blends cosmic horror, psychological suspense, outrageous splatter, and groundbreaking practical effects into one unforgettable mixtape of nightmares.”
V/H/S launched in 2012, followed by 2013’s V/H/S/2, 2014’s V/H/S: Viral, 2021’s V/H/S/94, 2022’s V/H/S/99, 2023’s V/H/S/85, 2024’s V/H/S/Beyond, and 2025’s V/H/S/Halloween.
The upcoming V/H/S/MIXTAPE marks the ninth film in this franchise.
It’s likely that V/H/S: SCP will arrive in October 2027. Stay tuned for more.
