Anthology Horror Film V/H/S/99 Coming to Shudder This Fall

Last year's sequel V/H/S/94 successfully revived the found-footage anthology horror series, with confirmation coming today that the follow-up film, V/H/S/99, will be debuting on Shudder this fall. Shudder also confirmed the all-star list of genre filmmakers who contributed segments to the anthology, who are Maggie Levin (Into The Dark: My Valentine), Johannes Roberts (Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City), Flying Lotus (Kuso), Tyler MacIntyre (Tragedy Girls), and Joseph & Vanessa Winter (Deadstream). V/H/S/99 marks the fifth entry into the series, which kicked off back in 2012. V/H/S/99 debuts on Shudder on October 20th.

The new film is described, "V/H/S/99 harkens back to the final punk rock analog days of VHS, while taking one giant leap forward into the hellish new millennium. In V/H/S/99, a thirsty teenager's home video leads to a series of horrifying revelations."

"V/H/S/94 set a new bar for what is already a fantastic film franchise, featuring some of the best horror anthology segments in recent memory by an incredible lineup of filmmakers," said Craig Engler, GM of Shudder. "We knew immediately that we wanted to continue the series, and what the producers have come up with in V/H/S/99 will be the biggest and best film yet in the series, and we can't wait for Shudder members to see it."

"The last year of the '90s was a perfect playground for us" said producer Josh Goldbloom. "DVDs surpassed VHS, Blair Witch took the world by storm, and Y2K fears created a sense of apocalyptic dread. Add to that six of the most creative genre filmmakers in the world, and we're confident this is the biggest, baddest, and most wildly savage V/H/S yet!"

"Fans of our franchise are going to love V/H/S/99," said executive producer Michael Schreiber. "Each new film in the series is the chance to showcase a different ensemble of talented and diverse filmmakers, and I'm extremely proud of the work that V/H/S/99's filmmakers have put in to bring their terrifying visions to life."

Over the course of the franchise, the series has seen segments from Adam Wingard (Godzilla vs. Kong), Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Scream), Simon Barrett (the upcoming Face/Off sequel), David Brucker (the upcoming Hellraiser reboot), and Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Moon Knight).

V/H/S/99 debuts on Shudder on October 20th.
