Tyler Gillett: For a style like this, found footage, it's funny that the only information we had about the other people's shorts was how they were using the style, and how that influenced the story we were going to tell. We did what we had to do, and it was really fun to show up and watch everybody else's shorts, the way they pieced them together, and the order they put them in too. We didn't see any other footage, we didn't know what anyone else was doing.

Or was everything compartmentalized?Ĭhad Villella: We saw the cut of everybody's shorts at the final sound check.

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?
