## V/H/S/Mixtape hits Shudder
Shudder releases V/H/S/Mixtape, a horror anthology themed around music, for Samhain season.
## Music theme underwhelms
The music theme creates a dull roar with few standout horror shorts despite its ambitious approach.
## Visual diversity
Mixtape features varied visuals from GWAR's metal to Flying Lotus's stop-motion horror.
## Tobias Forge's short
Forge's 'Premature Burial' uses a low angle to create cheap horror imagery in a metal band context.
## Renee Zhan's short
Zhan's 'Curious Chorus' features a puppet show reboot with practical effects from Little Shop Of Gore.
## Flying Lotus' short
Flying Lotus' 'Another Cabin' is a three-minute stop-motion horror with inventive monsters.
## David Moreau's short
Moreau's 'Heartbeat' traps explorers in a room with anti-noise, testing endurance without payoff.
## Ernest Dickerson's short
Dickerson's 'The Music Of Mr. Sze' features a student haunted by a violinist's cosmic horror.
## RZA's short
RZA's 'Death Tone' follows a daughter creating beats for her dead producer father.
## Key takeaway

V/H/S/Mixtape's horror/music fusion results in a lackluster anthology with few standout shorts despite its ambitious theme.
