If the superhero genre could get an all-star movie like “The Avengers,” it’s only fair that horror get the same treatment. Thankfully, that’s exactly what “V/H/S” is.

A team of the genre’s most exciting up-and-coming directors teamed up for a six-part found footage anthology that scared the crap out of everyone at Sundance in January, and now “V/H/S” is available On Demand today (August 30).

To celebrate the premiere of “V/H/S,” we have an exclusive image from artist James Stokoe that was inspired by the film.

Synopsis:

V/H/S is a POV, found footage horror film from the perspective of America’s top genre filmmakers. In ‘V/H/S’, a group of misfits are hired by an unknown third party to burglarize a desolate house in the countryside and acquire a rare tape. Upon searching the house, the guys are confronted with a dead body, a hub of old televisions and an endless supply of cryptic footage, each video stranger and more inexplicable than the last…

David Bruckner, Glenn McQuaid, Radio Silence, Joe Swanberg, Ti West, and Adam Wingard directed segments for “V/H/S.”

“V/H/S” is now available On Demand and will open in theaters on October 5.

A pair of self-styled ghost chasers hunt for spirits in a run-down New England inn in this subtle thriller from director Ti West.

Neither one is especially interested in hotel management, but they’re both students of the supernatural: They’ve come to the Yankee Pedlar because it has a reputation for being haunted and they want to see for themselves if ghosts walk the halls before it’s too late.
