FOUND FOOTAGE FRANCHISE RETURNS WITH ERNEST DICKERSON, FLYING LOTUS, TOBIAS FORGE, DAVID MOREAU, RZA, RENEE ZHAN FEATURING GWAR AND JIM HENSON’S CREATURE SHOP
Shudder announced today the ninth installment of the V/H/S franchise, V/H/S/MIXTAPE, which 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/MIXTAPE will be streaming on Shudder on October 9, 2026.
Featuring all-new segments from legendary filmmaker Ernest Dickerson, hip-hop icon RZA, visionary director David Moreau, and acclaimed filmmaker Renee Zhan, whose segment includes original puppets by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
V/H/S/MIXTAPE also features original music video interludes directed by acclaimed filmmaker and musician Flying Lotus, alongside a brand-new music video from debut filmmaker Tobias Forge, creating a genre-bending mixtape experience unlike anything the franchise has attempted before. Adding to the chaos, legendary shock-metal pioneers GWAR also make a featured appearance, further cementing the film’s celebration of horror, music, and cult cinema.
Producers for the ninth installment of V/H/S include Josh Goldbloom, Steven Schneider, Roy Lee, Michael Schreiber, Brad Miska, and executive producers Ben Ross and Rami Yassin.
V/H/S/MIXTAPE follows the record-breaking opening weekend of the franchise’s previous installment, the critically acclaimed V/H/S/HALLOWEEN, which became the most-watched exclusive film premiere of 2025 for Shudder and AMC+, driving Shudder’s biggest acquisition weekend of the year.
