You might want to keep your finger near the pause button when you watch the new teaser trailers for V/H/S/Beyond and Rumours.

V/H/S/Beyond is the seventh installment in the videotape-based franchise, which launched in 2012 with V/H/S, an anthology film featuring multiple found-footage clips, purportedly recorded back in the VCR days.

The latest chapter focuses on sci-fi horror, and bows at the genre-centric Fantastic Fest next month in Austin. In the teaser trailer, released Wednesday, we get only brief glimpses of the horror contained within the mysterious tapes.

The new series boasts some famous contributors, too. One of V/H/S/Beyond‘s segments, “Stowaway,” was directed by Kate Siegel and written by her partner, The Fall of the House of Usher creator Mike Flanagan.

Justin Long, who starred in horror hit Barbarian, directs and writes “Fur Babies” with brother Christian Long. And original V/H/S director Justin Martinez returns with “Live and Let Dive,” a segment featuring a story by Martinez and Ben Turner.

After completing its festival run, V/H/S/Beyond will stream on Shudder, debuting on October 4th.

Another flash-frame teaser released Wednesday was the one for Rumours, a new film starring Cate Blanchett and coming from Bleecker Street Productions.

The trailer gives virtually nothing away, but we do see an enormous brain in a field (the trailer shows one character blurting out that rather obvious fact), and the picture is described as a “horror-comedy”. The official description calls the movie a “black comedy [that] follows a group of world leaders who meet for the G7 summit and get lost in the woods while trying to draft a joint statement on an unspecified global crisis.”

In addition to Blanchett, the film stars Alicia Vikander, Charles Dance, Roy Dupuis, Denis Ménochet, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rolando Ravello, Takehiro Hira, and Zlatko Burić.

Rumours was written and directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson, and produced by Liz Jarvis, Philipp Kreuzer and Lars Knudsen. Blanchett and Ari Aster serve as executive producers.

Rumours will baffle and/or delight audiences when it appears in theaters on October 18th.
