New York Comic Con

ReedPop has shared a first look at this year’s roster of the programming for New York Comic Con, all taking place at the Javits Center in New York City on October 6-9, 2022.

Programming highlights for this year’s event include:

Plus, a look at what is to come for the upcoming final episodes.

  • V/H/S/99: V/H/S Goes To Hell
    On the heels of last year’s record breaking V/H/S/94, The Shudder Original Film V/H/S/99 is the latest feature in the hit found footage anthology franchise, V/H/S.  Join the directors and producers for an in depth discussion on all things V/H/S, the epic last year of the 90s, and what’s sure to be the biggest, baddest, and most wildly savage film in the franchise yet!
    The fifth installment in the hit horror V/H/S anthology franchise, V/H/S/99 debuts Thursday, October 20 only on SHUDDER. V/H/S/99 harkens back to the final punk rock analog days of VHS, while taking one giant leap forward into the hellish new millennium.
