We didn't see any other footage, we didn't know what anyone else was doing. When this came together, you obviously knew that other filmmakers were involved, but did you know anything about their stories? Or was everything compartmentalized?Ĭhad Villella: We saw the cut of everybody's shorts at the final sound check. That was a really fun opportunity for us, to take this idea that was originally conceived as more comedy than horror, and give it an appropriate balance between the two. Then, of course, with the other filmmakers who were involved, we thought there was a real opportunity to make it funny but also really, really dark and haunting. Tyler Gillett: It didn't take much exploring of what Brad's sensibilities are, as far as the genre goes. It was a story we had kicking around in some form, more like the wocka-wocka version of what happens. It was our favorite and his favorite, and it just took on a whole new life, in the found footage world and the story we were telling. When (producer) Brad Miska came to us to be involved with V/H/S, we pitched him four or five ideas, and that was one of them. I believe it was called The Halloween Party, really, really breaking the bounds of title imagination. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin: We had thrown around a version of that for awhile. When you were first approached for this, was this an idea you already had for something else? I'm always curious about how these anthologies come together.
