Grave Tone is your all-access pass to the horror genre across books, film, TV, and games. From cult classics to fresh nightmares, we dig into the stories that scare us and why we love them. If it bleeds, reads, streams, or screams… it’s on Grave Tone.
We meant to cover Shelby Oaks this week… until we double-checked the date and realized the U.S. theatrical release moved to October 24, 2025. So we did what any horror fiend would do on October 3: fired up Shudder and watched V/H/S/Halloween the second it dropped.
Inside the episode, we:
- Recap the franchise’s evolution and why the anthology/found-footage format still works in 2025.
- Walk through the new wraparound “Diet Phantasma” (ghost-soda tests gone very wrong) and five segments:
- Coochy Coochy Coo — feral, grimy Barbarian-adjacent chaos.
- Ut Supra Sic Infra (Paco Plaza) — daytime dread and slick police-investigation tension.
- Fun Size — trick-or-treat rules with a lanky candy fiend; the funniest entry.
- Kidprint (Alex Ross Perry) — deeply upsetting nineties video-ID horror (hard watch, effective).
- Home Haunt — family haunt gone too real, a love letter to DIY Halloween (plus a fun Rick Baker cameo).
- Shout out Good Boy opening weekend (yes, the dog lives).
- Share what’s next on our spooky-season watchlist.
