The V/H/S yearly installments continue, this entry Halloween focused and one of the stronger entries in the entire series. Anthology horror is by its nature a mixed bag, but this entry offers far more treats than usual. The framework has long since abandoned the notion of having connective tissue between the various tales, and the framing narrative is absurdly disconnected from the included shorts, but still a lot of fun. There is always seemingly one segment that’s glaringly out of place tonally, and this year’s contribution is tied between “Fun Sized”, which is… Zany and gross and Kidprint, which simply goes dark. This is not some perfect holiday concoction like Trick R. Treat, but as far as horror anthologies go, each segment has that mischievous holiday energy that feels appropriate, and works to the overall flavor. To varying degrees V/H/S series always delivers, and this entry provides a far better experience than the last entry (Beyond) while not quite reaching the high bar of VHS2 or 94, not far from it.
