- PREHISTORIC ANALOG HORROR IS AN UTTER NIGHTMARE
For those of you who have been here for a while, you likely already know one of my biggest fears: The T-Rex. Now while this fairly new analog horror series I stumbled upon doesn’t seem to have any T-rexes, it appears to not be that far off. Prehistoric Emergence. Now if I had to use my detective skills to guess what this series is about based on that title, it certainly sounds like our world is about to be overrun with animals from the prehistoric eras. It’ll be a nice change of pace in the analog horror setting, returning to the horrors that exist in nature.

"I'd I had a time machine, I'd go back to the dinosaurs!"
Average day in the prehistoric period:
I mean birds are dinosaurs so you do technically see dinosaurs
@@jeromemuang9677I am now terrified of pigeons, thank you
@@KeiTh0rwhatever you do do not look up cassowaries
@@jeromemuang9677yeah birds have descended from dinosaurs but that’s like saying horses are prehistoric fish because they evolved from them.
@ not really the thing is birds have not stemmed off from their dinosaur family and lineage while horses did. All birds are dinosaurs but not all dinosaurs are birds
if we're calling Dunkleosteus Dunkle, can we call the babies Dunklings?
I was thinking Dunklets, but I like Dunklings more.
I want a dunkling suddenly
Instead of America runs on Dunkin..."Everyone runs from Dunkles!"😱
Bideogame Dunkey
Uncle Dunkle wins the Funkle Bunkle!
Most unrealistic thing in the video is texas having a problem gunning prehistoric things down
Fr
Fr indeed ya telling me not a single person took a shot at the dinos?
There is literally no scenario where Texas loses a fight with dinosaurs
They would easily gun down every dinosaur they come across
@@suspiciouschickenfr a Texan not shooting to defend their house is like a person not breathing after losing their breath
I mean this entire thing is stupid but a cool idea.
The army would have no problems just killing these things in reality the most dangerous thing is the sinkholes that keep popping up lmao.
7:19 12:49 RIP Oompy the beloved mammoth of the Toronto zoo he was many things a symbol of hope a gentle giant and a caring father he will be dearly missed but his legacy will live on though his son Oompy Jr
The Quetz actually likely bludgeoned and speared its prey. Violently and messily. Though at certain sizes it would likely just swallow.
Edit: Likely got it confused with another large pterosaur but you get it.
YOU KNOW WHO ELSE WOULD SWALLO-
@@alphazeroseven MY MOM
Quetz's skeletal structure and musculature was too weak to do much bludgeoning or spearing. Hatzegopteryx, on the other hand...
True I don’t remember if was the Quetzal but I do remember reading about a study in which it would hang out near nesting sites when the eggs are hatching to eat whole/bludgeoned the prey. But speared its prey? That just make the Quetzal even more terrifying
@@sheeeenogoji7603 given how it was built potentially it did. But nothing is for certain without necromancy or time travel
Thank you 4 Plus! I've been hoping for a while that YOU would notice the series!
The man
The myth
The prehistoric legend himself
yoo its the maker!
how's episode 4 going?
Did you add Tyrannosaurus rex just to scare him?
This needs to be a top comment, or pinned or something
welp... sorry submarines. but missles would work on megalodons. Also i like this..but the idea that the dinos are mostly immune to bullets is silly.
considering emu birds were almost shot proof due to their organ placement, I believe not
@@OtachiDaOnetheyre still made of flesh and bone though. with enough firepower, i think any dinosaur is “killable” with conventional weaponry. maybe you cant take down a t-rex with a .9 millimeter, but you can certainly blow a chunk out of one with an RPG or tank
Armor piercing rounds joined the game.
@@OtachiDaOneI assure you they were in no way bulletproof they were just unconventional targets that were hard to hit. A 338. Lapua would probably double lung a trex
I'd be more worried about the little ones that remain after we re-extinct all the big ones
Most people don't realize how powerful and unfair firearms really are
I'm glad the creator dropped the AI! AI is horrble at depicting dinosaurs in an anatomically correct way 😅 Frequently they will mix features of similar species of dinosaur smh
could've just stopped at "ai is horrible" tbh
@morgue502 Agreed! I just didn't want AI bootlickers being up in the replies haha
The same with the fake 'real T-rex sounds' it's just bird calls slowed down 😂
right! it was just so obvious i almost clicked off till i saw this comment
@annawinters6239 If you haven't before, I highly recommend looking up a video of the closest approximation of trex calls! Truly horrifying and badass!
A lot of the scary underwater shots, like the Dunkleosteus at 4:46, I recognise from Walking With Dinosaurs: Sea Monsters. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't already.
Walking with dinosaurs: sea monsters was peak
It looks like a lot of the footage is from documentaries or AI generated.
Seeing "Walking with Dinosaurs" live was cool yet cute.

You can see the legs of the people as they wear the dinosaur suits.
But even as a kid, I knew not to be a little killjoy about it and still enjoyed the show.
I remember watching Nigel Marvin and all of his dinosaur shows like Prehistoric Park
You should definitely cover weird birds
Yes
Liking so he sees.
YES HE HAS TO PLS
YEEES! I LOVE BIRDS!
YES YES YES
I think you should cover WeirdBirds it's a dinosaur horror but not really an analog horror but I still think you should cover it.
Absolutely! The puppets Archesuchus for the series are not only accurate but also really high quality. Just their first post for it sparks so much horror but also intrigue into the world.
Who says feathered dinosaurs can’t be scary?
One thing I like about this series is that instead of using fear of the unknown, it uses fear of the known. Thanks to paleontology, we mostly know what these animals are capable of and how screwed we are if we encounter them
I hope they love micro plastics 💀
Oh yeah that exists
I know it's fantasy and all, but people don't realize how mild of an annoyance the dinos would be nowadays. In an age where random farmers run around with the firepower of a small army from a century or two ago, even a rex running around in your backyard would only be half a mag away from being sent back to extinction. They're big animals, not alien cyborgs with X-Men powers.
Especially the megalodon, even if there were 1000s of them, you wouldn't probably even notice them, and it wouldn't give a damn about your 80 kg pack of meat, you wouldn't be worth the effort to swim your way for a 50 ton meat eater.
I would be more scared by a 3 meter insect like thingy, wich would see you as the perfect soft squichy prey, eating out alive while your innards slowly liquefy and sucking you out like a caprisun. No big obvious beast hunting you down, you just casually set down your towel on the beach sand, and next thing you now you're in a nightmare of chitinous fangs and digestive fluids. If you look for really horror, just watch a documentray about the feeding habits of the small critters. You won't see a wasp the same way after that.
I think a horror series that explores the ramifications of dinosaurs just re-entering the ecosystem out of nowhere would be more interesting, that's why vita carnis is so fascinating to me, three quarters of the roster are either true neutral and just happen to catch a human body every now and then or they're just little guys that pose no threat whatsoever, and most of the series is less about horror and more about what life would look like with these wacky creatures wandering around.
Also that's not to say living in a prehistoric world wouldn't just be inherently terrifying, sharks already kill people just out of curiosity or by mistaking them for prey, imagine you're on the ocean with a group of friends and a megalodon destroys your boat thinking you are a whale, and all seven passengers drown. Or some dumbass tries to come up to a parasaurolophus like they do with the bison in yellowstone and they get stomped into a paste in front of a whole crowd
Thank you… I don’t understand how people think some of these would cause problems… the humans are way stronger and prob would wipe out half these prehistoric animals just like that
Oh come on Mainly Humanity is getting weaker and weaker as a special with Humanity getting sicker more often needing to be lead all the time and be protected and ask for weapons a Shot Gun hardly does Damage to a Bear never mind a reinforced Dino.
Missiles are the only things that could cause enough dangerous to turn them back or dead.
They would cause massive problems and be very dangerous.
Here in Texas, not only would we shoot the Quetzalcoatlus, we'd probably deep-fry it.
@@stardragon7893lol, new delicacy on the menu 😂
A series about not only prehistoric life, but also different religions? Sign me up.
Also, RIP Oompy. You will be missed.
Funfact: The marine predators in prehistoric emergence would probably lose to other apex marine predator,such as Orcas because they have mastered the art of *Jumping*
I was gonna mention Orcas. They might like the taste of giant marine reptiles
BABE WAKE UP 4 PLUS IPLOADED
WHY AM I IN YOUR BED
@ because i dragged you into my bed, my bad sir
Iploaded?
@@GodzillaFan45445what
oh my god so sigma!!!!!!!
If you liked this, the twitter series "Weird Birds" by Archesuchus is another high quality prehistoric ARG/Analog horror series.
All the dinosaurs in "Weird Birds" are made with practical effects and look amazing.
Firearms: exist
Analog Horror writes: Nuh uh!
They went over how firearms weren’t affective on some of the creatures cause of small brains lol
@mrcrayte yeah, because bullets only work on brains...
The small brain still doesn’t help since they have other organs that they can damage and also if they didn’t hit the brains it still a while in the head which can get infected
@@Darkfreed0m considering the vast majority of these creatures would die where they are, with only the snakes being in a location they could survive, there is clearly a supernatural element involved in all this.
Oh worse hunters with .50BMG, 7mm magnum, .338 Lapua, etc rifles exist. Not to mention all the survivalists in Texas who have 20mm cannons squirreled away in their basements LOL
This is really terrifying. I'm so excited for more content. Imagine walking around your neighbourhood and seeing someone get obliterated by a Torosaurus or something
Most people dont realize how powerful firearms really are. Id give itna decade at best before these animals were being farmed or extinct
YES A TREX VS A 105MM I WONDER WHOS GONNA WIN
The series clearly establishes that this kind of thing isn’t gonna work. The type of firearms that civilians can get a hold of have a little to no effect against most of these creatures. It’s even stated that several people have tried to fight these things off and almost all of them ended up dead. Even direct shots to the head a T-Rex don’t seem to do anything due to the small size of its brain. And even if they could kill these things. It would still take an unholy amount of firepower to take out just one large creature. A lot of these firearms will also have little to no use underwater. But the main issue is the fact that these things seem to be emerging faster than we can get rid of them.
@@non-applicable3548 most people don't realize this is a supernatural situation, since about 90% of the creatures mentioned would die from the areas they're in being too cold, with ALL the sea animals freezing to death.
If whatever is causing this can weatherproof them, making bullets useless is a small matter.
@@theparrishshow9803 120mm HEAT, 155mm Artillery, Recoiless guns, ATGMs, APFSDS, Bombs, Air-Ground Missiles, Gas, heavy Autocanons and much more heavy Shit Go brrt. Why delete the brain of a T-Rex when you can delete to whole T-Rex. And its Not Like we have to kill em, severly wounding will Most of the time so the Trick.
1:18 i love this image. i dont know why but i just love it. im going to be using this as a reaction image.
Man, this series is genuinely so cool to me bro, I hope there will be more of it!
This is one of my fav analog horror channels
Ok but yo mama 😮
This has the same problem as most analog horror: they don't try to make it look real. A dinosaur bumps the camera and for some reason the voiceover skips; or there are things left in the VHS tape that would have been cut out normally. I think the viewer really has to want to believe it. Still, nobody's beaten Thalacin.
Wasn’t that series done by Gooseworx, aka the mad genius behind The Amazing Digital Circus?
bro it's always before I gotta go to church 💀
Awesome upload as always
btw, it isn't exactly analog horror, but the yt series MARE IGNIS sounds like it'd be right up your alley. I highly recommend it.
God bless you
Best analog horror reviewer channel on youtube. Keep it up man
the f22 raptor can take care of the problem pretty quickl;y if you ask me
Orcas will just have more fun with their new toys
Thank you ark for teaching me most of these prehistoric animals 😭
You know in real life most of these animals would be hunted to extinction in this scenario.
I think the problem is they just keep coming
Actually, the sea dinosaurs would die because it's too cold for them. The land ones would be okay in tropical and sub-tropical areas, but would die from the cold.
The fact that they're fine suggests mystical interference.
probably one of my favorite analog horrors in a while. visuals along with the actual concept is just amazing
IT Chapter 2
0:49 subtle foreshadowing
4plus try not to talk about ai filled lazy slop videos and act like theyre terrifying challengr [impossible]
Yeah, plus the story is shit.
Azun really knows how to cook. He has some other series, and those are awesome too.
I'm so happy you mentioned that I have other series. I'm glad people are enjoying those too!
I really enjoy this series, but I feel it vastly overstates the power the prehistoric creatures have 😂
If it turns out that the creatures aren't just a copy-paste and they undergo changes when they pass through the holes then its all good.
And kind of underestimates the power of firearms and military ordinance.
Why would the US be scared of the Quetzalcoatlus, they built the actual prehistoric predator, the Lockheed Martin F22 raptor
If the F22 is prehistoric..just imagine what a modern day predator is like
@FalconX_Productions didn't mean to call the F22 prehistoric, I fucking love that thing, but it's called the raptor, as a plane nerd, I couldn't miss the opportunity
@@Ante_Barac cheers to that, I too am a plane nerd
This kid will finally get to eat!
@@BUnitMN-T would you intercept me? i’d intercept me
09:37 RvB reference? Hell yeah
This is what Jurassic World 4 needs to be. Like if they made it a more horror focused film and did it in a similar format to this, it could be the best in the franchise
He has arisen with a new video praise be you 4Plus for another video for me to watch before I fall asleep
The word dunkle tickles my brain
The Quetzalcoatl's wrath part is inreresting because of the believe that if the aztecs stopped sacrificing, the stars would descend as beast and devour them all haha
Is the beast 20mm autocanon proof though?
Mammoth comes back
Human: "let's hunt them again 😀"
Nah, we got plenty of other new things to hunt. I'd pass you a drumstick but we had to use a forklift to get it on the grill.
i loved this video and it was very scary but i am HOWLING at the random "oh"s and "wuuh"s when you mess up a word haha. Love that you kept them in lol
“Don’t enter the ocean” I already avoid the ocean at all costs
"prehistoric monsters from an underground sea eat people" is one of my favorite genres. I've read at least a dozen books with this exact plot. I'm reading one right now.
List them please I'm begging I love this shit
@@kate7896 just sharks, or other stuff too?
11:30 tallest, not largest. That goes to Hatzegopteryx, which could weigh 700 pounds and hunted microsauropods
Gotta love azhdarkids
I recommend the series Primeval to you all, 5 seasons of animals appearing through 'anomalies' that look like giant balls of light surrounded by floating glowing glass, it's my favourite show from when I was younger and the effects hold up better than you'd expect for 2005. S1 E3 has Mosasaurus to get you started, and yes they eventually build a zoo with a mammoth
10:51 I got an ad right her so it said “a dangerous creature has been discovered known as T-Mobile!”😂
11:59 fun fact about this part, the symbol of a feathered serpent actually appears in many different Mesoamerican cultures including the Mayan, Teotihuacan, and Olmec. I rlly can’t help myself whenever Aztec or Mayan mythology is mentioned 😅
The way I started clapping and cheering when I found out they were bringing my boy anomalocaris
16:37 right about here he forgot to mention that in this scene in the video for the split second a Sarcosuchus pokes its head out of the hole
2:31 its quite literally impossible. All of the undiscovered parts of the oceans are the parts where literally nothing that isnt made almost entirely out of water + tiny in size would get crushed to death.
My main idea is that the Aztec gods are pissed at humanity and are reviving the dead to punish us
This is literally a somewhat decent movie plot waiting to be made, but dinosaur movies are always relegated to slop if it’s not Jurassic park
4 plus dinosaur analog horrors videos are always bangers
The thing with most dinosaurs, is that most of the time, the herbivores would be the ones killing you, and unlike what you think, herbivores are just as, if not more lethal than carnivores.
Yeah it's wild to me how deeply this doesn't seem to understand basic animal behavior in favor of a 'predators are killing machine movie monsters' angle. Woolly mammoths and sauropods wouldn't be non-threats, they'd probably end up killing more people than most of the carnivores. Elephants and hippos each kill more people per year than any wild predator save for crocodiles.
Was not expecting to see an RVB reference in the middle of the video ( 9:34) this made my day lol
12:21 Fun fact, quetz actually can hunt adult humans because they can be ideal prey.
Friendly reminder that the Nautilus has been around for hundreads of millions of years, and we discovered that cealocanth has yet to become extinct. What else have we yet to find, I wonder?
All of which are small animals
10:39 well I won’t be able to sleep now. As long carnosaur doesn’t have analog horror we are good
7:00 the cars behind that creature are so chill lol
All tension disappeared when I heard the Drew Pickles voice.
thank you papa plus
The only thing that actually freaked me out about this video is watching in the dark and hearing this 18:52
Okay imma gonna say it why hasn’t anyone made an analog horror based on 50s bug movies.
The closest thing I can think of is Eduardo Valdés-Hevia’s Megalomorpha series, which isn’t really analog horror but it IS a pretty cool series of images that’s sort of like found footage centered around giant bug monsters- it’s really interesting
The first apex predator!? The animalocaris!?!? Lets fucking goooooooo!!!
I'm pretty sure the Livytan creature is supposed to be a reference to the Leviathan, a giant whale creature from both the Christian Bible and various other myths (and the inspiration for Monstro from Pinocchio)
As far as i recall yes and no there was actually a humongous wale called livytan(or spelled similarly idk how to spell it rn) which was proposed to be a rival to megalodon
Livyatan melvillei is a real, extinct genus of macroraptorial sperm whale that grew up to roughly 60 feet in length and was, on average, about 60 tons in weight. It went extinct roughly 5 million years ago, around the beginning of the Pliocene and did likely have fights with Otodus megalodon. It's name comes from the biblical leviathan and also the author of Moby Dick, Herman Melville
I’m pretty sure Livyatan is how it’s pronounced in Hebrew.
Maybe, but the Livyatan is also an actual prehistoric whale that existed during the Miocene, so it may be a double-reference, being both the real life animal and a nod to the biblical monster.
It was a real whale named after Herman Melville (Moby dick) and the leviathan of the Bible. Its pretty cool
I was waiting for you to drop a video on prehistoric emergence
Y'all should check out the book trilogy Jurassic Dead. Takes the horror aspect of prehistoric stuff and makes it even more horrible. It even has a few T-rexes for you 4-plus
@@The_S4f3ty_P1n_R4bb1t I think 4plus would never sleep again if he read that series. Bad enough he gets chased/chomped by a Rex, he'd be running from an undead one covered in zombie Dino human hybrids.
2:55 Holy Megalodon Batman! That Meg rendering is freaking terrifying and awesome looking! It's definitely screen worthy wallpaper material!
8:16 "These snakes can di-" "oop" 💀
Bro should’ve put the lizard giving Spider-Man back shots meme at 6:50
Who's gonna tell him it now has multiple T-rexs in it lol?
(Only at the start rn)
If you pause at a certain point in ep 3 at the end you can see a gigantic crocodile coming out from the holes
Absolutely love the RvB clip lol, good pick
"where's spiderman when you need him"
I WAS LITERALLY PLAYING SPIDERMAN WHILE LISTENING TO THIS
you telling me texas gets over run and not a single dino was shot?
the Mosasaurs, it looks to be the toy from like 5 yr ago
This reminds me of Primeval, the british TV show about (usually) ancient creatures coming into our time through time portals known as anomalies. There wasn't anything mystical or supernatural about the show other than the portals themselves though.
Some of the shots of the Dunkleosteus come from Sea Monsters: Walking with Dinosaurs with Nigel Marvin. That was my whole dinosaur-loving childhood
4:53 I’m pretty sure the dunkleosteus is now thought to be smaller then originally thought. In 2023 it was theorized to be 13 feet long
See, I've always said we need more aquatic internet horrors, and here I've been satisfied
You know your cooked when you see a big ass lizard coming at ya
I have a feeling Twisted Shelly (or Shelly in general) would've really liked this series
My brother had a nightmare where something like this happened
I hope anyone sees this because the footage of the Dunkleosteus is from an old show called Prehistoric Park that premiered on July 22, 2006. It was one of my favorite shows as a kid
11:48 " we are talking about how to stay SSSafe..."
8:56 regularly seen around the neck of the Hindu- Fuck
That absolutely caught me off guard 😂
4:18 something about how stretched this bit is just makes me love it so much
edit: LIVYATAN APPRECIATION
7:37 it’s pronounced as “Leviathan” but with a “T” sound instead of a “TH” sound
"it doesn't seem to have any t-rexes" oh do i have bad news for you
You've described episode one and I am absolutely checking this out - the ocean is terrifying *now*, I can only imagine what it would be like if something like the Megalodon was still around
Have you done a video on Ingen Truth? One of the best JP analog horrors out there IMO.
There's gonna be analog horror about everything at this rate
oh boy, time to see how many people will get misinformed by others.
Easy guide to survive.
Do not go near the holes or any known animal habitats. Remember your training from when you were 6 and obsessed with dinos.
16:03 that picture is awesome. Just a chill T. Rex looking through a window.
I can hear “something in the way” playing in the background of that image
@rudrajoshi7075 that would be fucking awesome
There's a giant hole in Billings, Montana?
OH FUCK ME! T-REXES ARE IN MY HOMETOWN?!
*Cries in Montana*
DUDE!
You had one of those dreams, too?!
I had one a few years ago and it has stuck with me like nothing else has. The absolute fear I felt in that moment before forcing myself awake was... Indescribable.
The A.I. ruins it.
Yea
It’s a good thing he stopped using AI
