Stone Striders are minor antagonists in the V/H/S: Video Horror Shorts mini-series, serving as the main antagonists of the episode "The Nest".
Story[]
Lily sneakily follows her brother Rob into the woods with an unknown woman believing that he's cheating on his girlfriend with her and after briefly losing track of them, Lily stumbles across a stone slab in the center of what looks like a campsite with the clothes of several people left behind as well as piles of rocks with human-esque shaped stone heads.
The woods get dark alarmingly fast and Lily eventually discovers a wooden hut lit up by lanterns and inside Lily sees the mysterious woman force feeding Rob a black liquid (possibly the same black liquid created by Raatma and his followers) and the woman confesses "they made me do it". Rob is then grabbed by one of the Stone Striders and lifted through the roof and Lily runs off as more of them search for her with bright orange lights emanating from their eyes.
Lily quickly finds Rob lying across the stone slab she saw earlier though he is unresponsive and she's forced to hide as one of the Stone Striders kills her brother. The woman catches up with Lily and tells her that the Stone Striders were going to let her go from an apparent curse they put on her if they had killed on more person she brought them, but since Lily interrupted the ritual, she's going to become one of them. Lily is quickly surrounded and asks what they want, only to either be killed by them or turned into another Stone Strider.
