Ghost’s Tobias Forge To Contribute To Upcoming Film V/H/S Mixtape
The upcoming V/H/S Mixtape shifts the found-footage horror franchise's focus toward music and sound, treating audio as a source of psychological and cosmic terror. The film blends practical effects with genre-crossing storytelling, moving away from traditional horror conventions to explore how rhythm and sound can haunt and destroy.
The project assembles a notable roster of musicians and artists: Wu-Tang Clan's RZA directs, Ghost frontman Tobias Forge creates a music video segment alongside producer Flying Lotus, and shock rock outfit GWAR also participates. The collaboration reflects the franchise's willingness to experiment with unconventional collaborators and thematic approaches for its latest chapter.
- V/H/S Mixtape, the ninth instalment in the horror franchise, debuts October 9 on Shudder with music and audio as central horror elements.
- Ghost's Tobias Forge will contribute a music video interlude with Flying Lotus, alongside RZA's directorial involvement and GWAR's participation.

The rebooted V/H/S found-footage horror franchise has built its reputation on anthology films made up of separate short segments from different directors, often released straight to streaming and prized by horror fans for their low-budget, unsettling style. The new instalment, V/H/S Mixtape, keeps that format but centres each segment around music and sound rather than the usual visual scares.
Wu-Tang Clan's RZA, known for both his rap career and his film work, is directing, while Tobias Forge, the mastermind behind the Swedish theatrical rock band Ghost, is contributing a segment alongside producer Flying Lotus. Also involved is GWAR, a band known for its elaborate costumed, monster-themed stage shows. Their presence signals that this entry leans heavily on musicians rather than the horror directors who usually anchor the series.
The film matters to horror fans as the latest chapter in a long-running franchise, and to music fans because it brings together artists from very different genres who are not typically associated with filmmaking, suggesting a more experimental direction for the series.
