V/H/S Mixtape is, alas, one of the weaker entries in the V/H/S horror anthology franchise. The idea of a compilation of short fear-fare tales built around music holds a lot of promise, but only the opening and closing entries are memorable. Let’s go segment by segment after discussing the wraparound. Synopses in italics are from official press material. Wrap Segment Gwar hosts skits and music videos in an MTV-style show from hell. It also features music videos directed by Tobias Forge and Flying Lotus. Let’s get this out of the way: The Gwar wraparound is, for me, the absolute worst V/H/S franchise wraparound. Certainly, mileage will vary with Gwar fans and those who enjoy the lowest forms of middle school gross-out humor. If you don’t fit into one of those two camps, you’d be well advised to skip through those segments. The music videos, though interesting, feel out of place in a V/H/S portmanteau, even this one that is music-themed.

Documentary filmmaker Philip Cairney joined us for an interview to discuss his compelling new three-part HBO Original docuseries The Pet Cemetery Murders: A Ghost Story. Executive produced by Simon Chinn and Jonathan Chinn, the series dives into the gruesome 1985 murder of Dorothy Thompson in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. After Thompson went missing, her body was found floating in the Mississippi River. However, the investigation quickly went cold. Furthermore, the cemetery grounds carried an eerie local reputation, shrouding the tragedy in haunting folklore and rumors of restless spirits. Lost Evidence, Natural Disaster, and Unconventional Leads Years after the initial investigation stalled, Hurricane Katrina devastated local police archives. It destroyed crucial crime scene evidence and primary case reports. As a result, reopening the cold case without a paper trail forced investigators to rely on unconventional leads. That included a key informant who claimed to be haunted by Thompson’s ghost. And a forgotten 1985 psychic sketch that matched an original suspect. Ultimately,
