"You think this is funny?" "In a cosmic sort of way, yes." "Well, Mr. Funny Man, IS THIS how you get your sick kicks?!" "What? It's just an ordinary analog--" 7:53 "OH, MY GOODNESS!"
I was nervous about the Man in The Suit when it first came out as I was worried the antagonist wasn't fictionalized enough to be considered separate from Haruo Nakajima, the real-life suit actor and by all accounts very nice, hard-working man. This ended up being unfounded since he's gone unnamed and his backstory is not at all related to Nakajima's. The creator is very clearly taking pains to not disparage anyone actually involved in making Godzilla films. I didn't know about this Spongebob thing, but it's clearly my fears realized and made even worse. I happened to meet Hillenberg's son once or twice and he seemed like a really sweet guy. The idea of him seeing this makes me want to vomit.
It's not even that the SpongeBob analog horror used Stephen Hillenberg's death as a plot point, but also implied that he murdered his wife (who is still alive). Using a real person's death for your crappy horror short is bad, but falsely claiming they committed a horrible act, especially to one of their loved one is gross at best, reckless at worst.
So by that Logic "Man in the Suit" is a horrid story with no redeeming factors, or is it because so much time has passed that you don't mind it when it happens in that story? I'm not trying to pull a gotcha on you, I'm really trying to wonder where the line is drawn.
@@TheMonkePrince my guy " man in the suit " uses the Godzilla filming process as a back ground, its not necessarily about Godzilla but instead the man in the suit, this however just straight up called Stephen hillenberg a murderer and claim that he killed his wife
@@kkinthewheelchair3049 No its his wife who killed him. However it was said to be in june 6th 2006. Seeing how it was made around in may without a doubt this was a teaser for some sort of time weirdness happening and obviously supernatural.
@@kkinthewheelchair3049 Even then he said that his wife was normal their whole marriage so why the change. I guess it could. be read in that way with Stephen ending with 3 dots showing that each of the sentances could start with his name so yeah.
it's not Exactly a false claim since Analog horror stuff are fictional works so there is no intention of making a accusation or claim here but yeah it's still fucked up
7:53 saying "see you in hell" about a dead person is just wrong dude, Analogue Horror was already getting shitty but this is just shock value for shock value
The problem with analog horror was the same problem with MLP grimdarks. Making shocking content for the sake of shocking people. The most infamous one has to be Sweet Apple Massacre, literally just violence and assault to make people grossed out. It had no substance but people would pass it around like it was peak horror 💀💀💀
@@Thegentleman6832 honestly I thought it was gonna be a Texas chainsaw parody 😔 but also like 3 children isn’t really a massacre when you’re a big ass horse
THE PAINTER/URBANSPOOK will forever be a huge disappointment in terms of what could have been, because there was some serious potential for a unique series that invoked the style of a classic slasher/giallo, but instead, we got an exercise in upping the shock value ante and treating a coherent story as an optional part of the series. Gore and shock can make for a powerful experience when done right (MARTYRS and INSIDE come to mind, my personal gold standards for extreme horror), but it’s like hot sauce. It needs to be used in moderation and not made the prime focus. THE PAINTER is like chugging a bottle of straight hot sauce mixed with laxatives.
I strongly agree, there is so much potential that is squandered, because shock value and gore can be good if done right, I used Goodnight Mommy as an example but Martyrs also is a great example, but the painter fails at doing that mix and instead comes off as shock value due to lazy writing.
@@ABAShortfilms Sion Sono’s film COLD FISH is basically THE PAINTER but done way better. Highly recommend that one if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s another example of how extreme elements in horror can cement it in the viewer.
Urbanspook feels like the Playground of analog horror, yeah. It's not scary, it's just... bad. It's crossed so many lines that it's gone back around into just being uninteresting, and that's putting aside the creator hismelf.
well, at least valle verde exists for now, although it is very ambitious, some times it really looks like a professional, high-budget ARG instead of lo-fi, low budget analog horror.
Shout out to when I asked Urban Spook about what horror IS bad horror, he replied "Autistic Furry Horror" without explaining what that, "Autistic Horror", OR "Furry Horror" are.
Dude really sounds like the FNAF fangame community lives rent-free in his edgelord head. (I've seen edgelords who liked Amnesia because pewdiepie screamed really loudly at it call FNAF that before in 2014, so that tells you where he's stuck mentally.)
"The mysterious house" from The Walten file's, is a great example of something that is both shocking and horrifying, because terrible stuff like that has happened before. If you haven't watched the aforementioned video, I implore you to watch it. It's not too gory, but it is extremely upsetting.
I lost any shred of interest in UrbanSpook's series the moment he went off on Pastra like he did. I've been a viewer of Pastra since early on, after I found his FNAF6 video, and stayed for the refreshing horror takes and his interesting art style. Pastra is honestly one of the least problematic TH-camrs, and he was speaking truth about how lowbrow "gore for the sake of gore" is in horror.
@@brawler5760 urbanspook seems pretty chill right now, i checked his instagram and i can tell he loves horror movies from the 80s, the dude has talent but he wasted everthing in this bad series
Yeah I didn't like the painter much before but when he harassed Pastra I just lost any interest in it, I've also been watching Pastra for a while when I found the vid on yhe walten files halloween special
Someone is trying to make a Pinwheel Analog Horror. Pinwheel is a *REAL* partially lost nickelodeon series that came out in the late 70's/early 80's. With so much of the series lost, one could possibly make a pretty good horror story around it, I mean I've seen some of the footage and it can sometimes come off as a bit unnerving to some, so it could work... but Nooo, let's just add some unrelated clips with poorly integrated shadowy figures and a "spooky" text-to-speech voice during the mime segment. I know budget and talent is what makes an analog horror believable but if you're dedicated enough to tell your story, and use a bit of creativity, it can still come out pretty good regardless of the amount of or lack of fancy editing. Bottom line: A pinwheel Analog Horror could work, it just needs to have a solid story and structure.
Now I'm wondering how one could pull off a Zoobilee Zoo analogue horror. It's a live action preschool show from the 80s and I remember watching a couple eps of it as a wee kid back in the late 90s. It's not lost media, but the animal costumes can come off as kinda creepy to some people (I'm kinda immune from the creep factor from the costumes, personally, I mean people say the Cats broadway costumes are creepy looking and I freakin' love Cats, so), so I feel like that could be an interesting starting point. All it would need is a compelling storyline.
I feel like a lot of the issues that Analog horror stems from oversaturation of the genre, nothing seems entirely original anymore, trope after trope is being introduced and then immediately become oversaturated, because of that people will feel more comfortable going overboard with shockvalue because that's what they being lead to believe will make a good story. It's sad, it's really sad because there is probably plenty of really good and creative Analog horrors that will immediately get overlooked, because people just aren't interested as soon as they see the dark thumbnail and obscure one word title.
I completely agree, a lot of the good stuff is getting overshadowed by stuff that I believe is sub par, so its getting harder and harder to find the diamonds in the rough.
I think my favorites so far have been greylock, oldest view, and walten files! I like almost all of them though, I'm a big horror buff and always have been
The Steven Hillenburg message in the SpongeBob analog horror is actually disgusting, couldn’t agree with what you said more. It’s obvious that they’re just going too far, and to add on to that absolutely disgusting act, it’s clearly made for fame, money, and popularity. I really hope we’re going to come back from all of this analog horror downfall. Also, could you do a whole video on _Boisvert ? I think it would be an interesting concept.
An analog horror creator by the name of ‘shut up jojo’ has actually done an analog horror video on child’s play, so you can check that out if you want (not forcing you to tho) however sadly it’s a one off video and not a series.
I feel like the SpongeBob one could've been spared if they had just made up some fictional animators, writers, sound producers, etc.., who worked on the show and focus on them. Just don't bring real life people into it.
8:10 I think the closest creepypastas were are stories like "Dead Bart" or "the Krabby Patty Secret Formula" but they never directly insulted the creators. They just appear and give the narrator a "spooky bootleg episode" that gave them trauma because SPONGEBOB SAID HAIL SATAN OMG!
You should watch Junius B. It's one of the craziest analog horrors I've seen lately lmao. Definitely the best JoJo's Bizarre Adventure analog horror i've watched. Act 1 just finished and the entire thing was wild lol. I highly recommend it. The visuals are nice, the story is interesting, the characters are memorable and it has a good balance of horror and story. It's up next in the scene. it's one of the most creative analog horrors ive watched. the First set of episodes is a bit generic but the Eternal Days of Night storyline (the main one) is some shit ive never seen before lol
It is sad that Urbanspooks series mainly devolved into focusing on shock content rather than psychological or intelligent horror. It had looked promising after the first episode, too. As a fellow Analog horror creator, it's always good to see some inspiring ideas that have a compelling story to tell as well.
Can we just have an analog horror that makes it look like someone's dealing with monsters but then it's revealed that they're all the employees he works with. And that stuck working in an office setting has drove him mad because of how mundane it is?
I actually remember seeing this picture on Twitter that had a similar premise to this. Except I think in the case of the picture the employees actually WERE analog horror entities. I still have yet to find that picture again, not helped by the fact that I can't remember the original poster's account name.
Your video was put out five days ago and I found it on someone who was so pissed off at Urbanspook that he made an archive of critique videos called "Urbanspook Sucks..." And in me he found somebody who hates him enough to watch the whole playlist.... Lol... Needless to say for somebody who didn't know your channel before this you're off to a good start I love the aesthetic of analog horror so naturally I love it even more when we find a good series. Greylock and Angel Hare are two favorites although the latter isn't really that horrific, more like a thriller drama. But you covered the absolute nadir of the genre here
Thank You! Lol I saw I was getting some views from that playlist. I have a fondness for analog horror, and I make my own occasionally as midsections in my videos, and I really hope it keeps going strong. Was just worried by a lot of the more recent ones. Glad you enjoyed the video!!!!
Its really just oversaturation at this point. When you have a small community driven by talented or inspired creators you get good material. People create these things without an outside context to restrain or deeply influence their creativity. Ted the Caver and Dionea House get lumped in with creepypasta but they were created in a world where that label didn't exist yet and thus they were created without the baggage of later creepypastas. Same goes for early analog horror, stuff like Local 58 and Gemini Home Entertainment existed in a world where analog horror didn't exist yet. Heck I remember when people just labeled them "dark media" (since creepypasta was out of vogue by then) and they were just horror series not genre horror series. My point is that once a genre is established and proven to be popular you get copy-cats and people doing it for the fame instead of the genuine desire to create something new and creative. Ted the Caver wasn't made to cash in on some internet horror craze it was made to be a creative horror experience utilizing a new medium, and that goes for all the early analog horror as well. Internet horror in general has a cycle thats well established by this point. Early pioneers create without genre restraints, that inspires others to be creative as well while taking influences from what came before, this continues with more and more tropes being established which then go on to restrain further creative works, eventually you have the copy-cats that follow the tropes and genre conventions because the genre itself has effectively pigeon-holed itself. Any further works just add to the level of oversaturation after that point.
Every piece of media is going to suffer some kind of burnout. Slenderman started off as one of the most frightening entities ever created until so many clones were made that eventually the original horror of Slender the Eight Pages (or just Slender if anyone remembers when it was still called just that) was lost. Creepypastas were among one of the most popular forms of media with big TH-camrs at the time, Some Ordinary Gamers stand out, covering these stories to give their opinions on them, but the tropes became too many and very little originality was made for them. Analog Horror is just the next step of the cycle and, soon enough, there will be another cycle in horror. Starts off good, gets increasingly better, then the decline. Rinse and repeat. The only take away from this continuous cycle of rise and fall is that rather than looking at these smaller stories, games, or videos series as bad because they aren't scary, we can at least enjoy them for what kind of story they tell. The Man In The Suit is a perfect example of that. It's scary, but what drives it is its story about a WWII victim being given power through a fictional character. If a series can't be scary then they can at least be what they are intended to be in the first place - entertaining.
One internet horror series that I'd like to mention thats kinda like analog horror but without the analog is happy meat farms. That series is able to tell a horror story without the use of too many analog horror cliches. I think doing online horror in a similar way to that is the next step after analog horror has ran it's course.
I LOVE HMF!! Genuinely it’s one of the most fun rabbit holes to go under, it’s terrifying even when it uses analog horror tropes like the hidden texts, rambling, and some glitchy effects.
The video was really good! I was super surprised when you said you only had 900 subscribers, because I thought you had at least 50k, if not more. Nice job!
Analogue Horror suffers from a low barrier to entry, which is also what makes it amazing. An Analogue Horror series basically has no restrictions as to what you can do with it besides I guess sticking to that Analogue "style" For every Spongebob Analogue Horror and Urbanspook, there's a series like Gemini Home Entertainment, The Walten Files, the Mandela Catalogue, Eventide Media Center, Vita Carnis, Greylock, Dreams of an Insomniac, the Oldest View, Doors, The Man in the Suit, and so many more series that are brimming with creativity and passion We, as humans, will always lean towards the negative side of things in regards to... well, anything. There's a reason that there's a saying about a few bad apples after all. We get so used to the good, that whenever something bad happens, it sticks out like a sore thumb and we don't stop focusing on it. Personally, I still think Analogue Horror is in a better spot than it has been in quite a while. Sure we'll get things that are in all senses of the word, abominations against mankind, but we still get people pouring their passion into projects they otherwise would never get to make
7:45 I feel like punching my wall over and over again seeing the image of the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in Analog Horror. I met Stephen Hillenburg back in 2016 and he was genuinely the sweetest, caring person I’ve ever met. I still have a drawing I did back in 2016 that Stephen got to sign. I really hate that someone would mock the death of one of animation’s greatest heroes.
lmao, the 6th of june 2006 was the day I was expected to be born and my parents were actually going to call me Damien. turns out, I wasn't going to be born for another 17 days, and my parents decided to name me after Liam Neeson.
i remember where it all started, the fnaf tapes by squimpus(leaving the person he was discovered to be aside) made me fear fnaf when i never was afraid of the game. Then i started watching local 58 and gemini and those series tickled an old childhood fear of waking up on the middle of the night just to the white noise of the television or a static image of the tv channel with no sound and my mind just imagining seeing things in there. The best thing analogue horror has it's the psychological horror, the fear of the unknown. Now it's just pure shock horror as it seems. Sometimes we get some gems like the boiled one but it looks like the rest is a cluster of poorly made stuff. And it makes me so sad, because analogue horror at the start made me feel scared like never other media ever had, like losing sleep level. PS: a really good analogue horror that you might've missed is dreams of an insomniac. It's pretty different and unique. I recommend checking it out
I dont know if you have checkd these 2 analoghorror serise but i think if you havent you should. ”dreams of an insomniac” by pastra and ”angel hare” by East patch. Angel hare is also probly not for everyone but i think its great. Both of them are new ”kinda” and WAY to underated in my opinion. Both true great gems that are Both very original
I love pastra's videos and have been keeping a close eye on that series cause I think it's quite good. I have heard a lot of good things about angel hare but haven't gotten around to checking it out yet. Thanks for the recommendations!
So happy I was recommended your video!!! You did a great job of showcasing all your points :D Over saturation is definitely a killer. There’s a point where you can see passion vs just hopping on the trend. I mean this in all media as well. Not every ARG/ Creepypasta/ whatever is gonna be good but you can always see when mounds of effort are put in. Mascot horror and the backrooms definitely got hit hard with cash grabs. The SpongeBob one was 100% so disrespectful. Again great video :D
This was a good video and you raised a lot of good points! no matter how realistic an analog horror is trying to be, mocking a real person's death is a no no. I wish more people knew that. Also you mention urbanspook, i know everyone had such high hopes for it but honestly? the guy dug his own grave, so to speak. he was horrible to people about the smallest of things and was a genuinely unfriendly guy.
This was a really well put together video! Honestly agree with you when it comes to stuff that only goes for shock value above all else, it's not really horror, it's just gross and uncomfortable. One very important piece of feedback on the video itself thought, you need to make the epilepsy warning clearer than you did at 8:51, either by saying it verbally or having a full screen warning before the segment, as it is it blends in a bit.
The only analog horror I still follow is Mandela Catalogue, every other series I’ve just dropped or weren’t interested in. At this point when it comes to analog horror, I just watch people talk about them instead, especially for the ones like 6/06/2006. I find it quite sad that the only horror media to genuinely unsettle me back then is now this.
Amazing video dude! I remember back then my friend warned me and others to NOT support or watch an Urbanspook for any circumstances, curiosity kills the cat so I watched it. Tbh I was easily disgusted by the creator for making this series especially that one video everyone mentions about (Which I won’t say cuz CSA) It’s super sad to see what he did in his series, I missed being scared of the OLD creepy pasta like Slender man, Jeff the killer, Mickey Mouse one (Won’t say the first one lol) and way more :/
Certainly I think giving new stuff a shot is a good idea, it means that potentially good things that you may like that others don't, or maybe even just finding a quiet gem, it's all a good idea to still check in now and then. I fully agree with things melding together and no longer being appealing, a derivative of a derivative for the sake of popularity instead of passion. And I understand getting tired of it. Still, looking into things now and then is a good idea, but there's a reason I go to horror curators instead of looking for series on my own. I tend to find better quality that way.
the only good part with the spongebob one was after posting it the backlash was so big that they got completely booted off the internet and deleted their socials
Its funny Creepypasta's are coming back due to nostalgia but its a cycle I've seen happen to many internet horror genre's We saw it with Creepypasta's, Backrooms, Anti Piracy screens, Analog Horror, Gmod ARG's ect I know digital horror is the new thing rn and I hope it doesn't end up like the previously mentioned but given enough time and popularity it sadly will
that moment of Stephen Hillenberg disrespect was the same breaking point for me as Ezekiel's death in TWD comic. After awhile, both pieces of media just became the same thing of shock value
As someone currently working on my own analog horror (Not released yet) getting crazy with the shock can get really tempting. But you need more than a few scary faces to make analog horror. you need it to be interesting, you need to tell a story, and you need a reason for why your monsters/killers are there instead of letting them exist just for the sake of shock value. The analog horror I'm making is called Hutchers Swamp. There's a few old safety tapes about how to safely explore an uncharted biome recently founded by a man named Jeremy Hutcher. A few monsters roam the swamp, some dangerous, some docile as expected from any analog horror but it won't be focused entirely on these creatures or who fell victims. the main focus isn't what's in the swamp, but what the swamp is. Edit: If this isn't pinned I'm going to put a stray lego in front of your bathroom door before the morning.
the tapes are going to be slightly mandala based and the setting is woodlands national park based. I might take some inspiration from Vita carnis for creature ideas but I already have a few I like.
Urbanspook was escalating its shock with each installment, but after a while it hits you that you're not actually learning anything about anyone other than the painter is a bad man. Something simple as having named characters conducting the investigation could've added a dynamic between forces, but with every named person being dead it doesn't work.
I've only really written 3 creepypastas myself, I'm unsure of how they hold really, personally looking back at some of the other creepypastas, I can see things I didn't notice before and it gives me a chance to discuss with friends how we would have written/done things differently, which is fun. Me and another friend are actually thinking of how to make creepypasta movies based on our rewrites of the originals.
Urban spook series reminds me of elfen lied its a series where it focuses too much on being shocking but it has no substance Unlike a series like Higurashi where the shot and gore is done well (Least in the VNs) and it focuses on horror and uses its deaths sparingly
This video is my introduction to your channel, and im most definitely not disappointed. The quality of your videos/channel is definitely put well together, and with enough effort, im sure we'll see you as another humble beginnings star very soon. You have my subscription and keep up the wonderful work!
Oh good it's not like people haven't heard that name before it was used a lot in the early days of sonic.exe and shit as like the demon or whatever that possessed sonic
I was one of the first creators to really establish the "TV anomaly" subgenre of analog horror, so knowing my stuff may have even remotely had an influence on UrbanSpook makes me sick to my stomach. I'd rather 100 more Red Mists than even a single more "See You in Hell Hillenburg"
btw can i recommend you this one creepy channel which i really think is a breath of fresh air ? it's not an analogue horror channel but i highly recommend it because it's artistically beautiful and horrifying
@@ABAShortfilms i recommend seeing "I can't sleep"/nosleep666. don't worry, despite the name of the channel it's mostly subtle with it's horror. it's based off of 1990/2000s cartoon shows with dark secrets behind it. despite that description the channel is more focused on this girl who goes through heavy trauma. it's done in a way that's respectful and doesn't go too far with it's subject matter
Feel like this is just how the ebb and flow of popularity as a whole goes. Few projects are crazy good, launch a thousand copies, over saturation kills interest until someone does something groundbreaking, then the cycle repeats. Nothing stays fresh and fun forever, there are no breaks. People will also naturally be more critical of the 200th project than the first. At this stage it’s just things being thrown at the wall to see what sticks. If the project crashes and burns? Oh well, maybe a lesson will be learned. But probably not for these two.
Reminds me of that one Fnaf VHS tape where they were using REAL MISSING KIDS, who were probably never found which makes it even more disturbing, not the video but the fact they used real missing children for their video.
Great video, man, I instantly subscribed. Personally I don't know if I agree completely, analog horror is indeed getting more and more oversaturated, like many other horror genras, and a lot of people are indeed using it just for clout at this point. However, I think it's a bit to early to say that analog horror is actually on a decline, the presence of bad analog horror doesn't mean there arenot still artists who do put heart into their projects and who are still releasing good analog horror. I agree that the well has been relatively dry for the past months, but I'm sure there are still projects in the making that are worth waiting for and to my knowledge, and I think their's also a good chance that we'll see some of the og's make a return, as some of the stories are still not done to my knowledge. Great video man, keep up the work, you can totally make it big.
Thats entirely fair, and I'm glad you liked the video. I hope that I'm wrong and that they are able to bring the genre back, which is why I still gave myself some room to return in case things get better lol. Thank you for watching, hope to see you again next week!
I think one of the best analog horror (I think), is Monument Mythos. Yes, there is sometimes a little shock value. Yes, it uses real life people. But it never paints them as some sort of horrific monsters, or psycho killers. And, it has an quite interesting, and mind-blowing story.
I think thats the difference people don't understand, you can use real people in a way thats not gross. The spongebob one uses Stephen Hillenburg in a way that paints him not only as a bad person but also mocking his death. You can do it in a correct way, and I agree, the monument mythos is great!
When I have more experience in making videos, I kind of want to do a fake trailer for a "The Painter" film but it's portrayed as a 70s Giallo horror film with even including some elements from those types of films (bright red color palettes, black leather gloves, etc.).
Creepypasta’s did get as bad. The big one is Cry Baby Lane implying Peter Lauer a real person was some sadistic monstrous freak. The worst part is the story’s description of Lauer fits one of John Kricfalusi who WAS an actual despicable person connected to Nickelodeon. Either it’s a coincidence or the writer just used Lauer for some weird reason.
Analog horror is certainly oversaturated with trope after "scary thing makes people die if they watch it" trope, tbh i've moved to eas scenarios. Are they scary? Sometimes since the alert noise does creep me out, but a good example was the Polar Express eas scenario that was made last year that really gives you chills as if youre there watching it unfold in real time
As a analog horror fan person, I think lately every series has become the same of showing a disturbing picture and a text describing and then black screen and a jumpscare. But there are some series that are my favorite that really works great by having a good story. Like The Walten Files, HMF, Lacey's games which is one of my favorites, it created a whole trope that felt original and using girlhood traumas or girls games that make it shocking for girls like me get shocked and feel connected with the protagonist or characters and how their experiences are shown as pure horror, because that's how it feels. I think analog horror is something that can be used for pure shock value or just vhs files or connect with the viewer and the story and make you scared while also seeing the art behind it.
y'know, I'm surprisingly with you on a lot of things. Mostly that the genre has felt just as starved as Creepypasta did during it's twilight years. The difference however is people trying to make a tired old format work, dragging the typical things you'd see kicking and screaming. If people weren't so hyper-focused on doing what everyone else had already done twenty times over, and instead came up with their own unique approach, I feel like Analog horror could actually become better. I know digital horror is definitely on the rise, and that's cool and all, but I feel like the better Analog Horror series have become exceptions in an otherwise stale genre. Walten Files doesn't even feel like analog horror, and instead feels like a greek tragedy to watch.
The thing that killed my analogue horror videos is that I see that I keep falling into these traps even though it’s just two videos. They’re both cringe and they’re not even scary nor creepy. If only there was a new series of analogue horror that is actually interesting and doesn’t fall for traps that can easily lead the series to a downfall. So I do agree with what you said that people should just give analogue horror a break.
Yeah, I always thought Analog Horror was dumb, except with a few good ones like Gemini Home Entertainment and Kane Pixel's Backrooms being some of favorites. But If I had to recommend the best one I have seen, Vita Carnis is the best and my favorite out of all of them. Except for those three, I don't watch analog horror.
I’d also recommend these(some aren’t just vids): Shipwrecked 64, Catastrophe crow and dreams of an insomniac, Freddy juniors origins part one, fnaf the crushing blow, skinamarink I feel while yea there’s some sucky analog horror stuff, we really need to be fair in that there’s more good stuff than people give it credit for It’s just these bad ones that overshadow the actually good ones cuz people like talking about bad stuff like it’s an addiction
There are still some new remakes of old Creepypastas that are amazing and I feel like it's going to be the same for analog horror once it gets very old, people are going to revisit it and make it better

HE SOILED THE ANALOG HORROR NAME! SOILED IT! SOILED IT! SOILED IT-
That's why we need "Analog Fiction with Horror Elements" like Angel Hare, instead of pure horror. We need more themes and approaches.
Angel Hare is literally the total reverse of Analog Horror tropes
I was nervous about the Man in The Suit when it first came out as I was worried the antagonist wasn't fictionalized enough to be considered separate from Haruo Nakajima, the real-life suit actor and by all accounts very nice, hard-working man. This ended up being unfounded since he's gone unnamed and his backstory is not at all related to Nakajima's. The creator is very clearly taking pains to not disparage anyone actually involved in making Godzilla films. I didn't know about this Spongebob thing, but it's clearly my fears realized and made even worse. I happened to meet Hillenberg's son once or twice and he seemed like a really sweet guy. The idea of him seeing this makes me want to vomit.
It's not even that the SpongeBob analog horror used Stephen Hillenberg's death as a plot point, but also implied that he murdered his wife (who is still alive). Using a real person's death for your crappy horror short is bad, but falsely claiming they committed a horrible act, especially to one of their loved one is gross at best, reckless at worst.
So by that Logic "Man in the Suit" is a horrid story with no redeeming factors, or is it because so much time has passed that you don't mind it when it happens in that story? I'm not trying to pull a gotcha on you, I'm really trying to wonder where the line is drawn.

7:53 saying "see you in hell" about a dead person is just wrong dude, Analogue Horror was already getting shitty but this is just shock value for shock value
The problem with analog horror was the same problem with MLP grimdarks. Making shocking content for the sake of shocking people. The most infamous one has to be Sweet Apple Massacre, literally just violence and assault to make people grossed out. It had no substance but people would pass it around like it was peak horror 💀💀💀
I thought the worst one was urban Spooks the painter
I was obsessed with MLP grimdark as a kid, but I absolutely _hated_ Sweet Apple Massacre.
Literally nothing scary about it, its just disgusting 💀
Don’t forget the cheap jumpscares and loud noises.
True but what could you expect from it being called a MASSACRE
@@Thegentleman6832 honestly I thought it was gonna be a Texas chainsaw parody 😔 but also like 3 children isn’t really a massacre when you’re a big ass horse
The Stephen Hillenburg thing genuinely pissed me off.
It’s downright disgusting, that’s for sure.
I know what were missing... Fortnite analogue horror
That would be amazing lol
Haunted Fortnite bot
why tf does that actually exist
It can be done
On it
THE PAINTER/URBANSPOOK will forever be a huge disappointment in terms of what could have been, because there was some serious potential for a unique series that invoked the style of a classic slasher/giallo, but instead, we got an exercise in upping the shock value ante and treating a coherent story as an optional part of the series.
Gore and shock can make for a powerful experience when done right (MARTYRS and INSIDE come to mind, my personal gold standards for extreme horror), but it’s like hot sauce. It needs to be used in moderation and not made the prime focus. THE PAINTER is like chugging a bottle of straight hot sauce mixed with laxatives.
I strongly agree, there is so much potential that is squandered, because shock value and gore can be good if done right, I used Goodnight Mommy as an example but Martyrs also is a great example, but the painter fails at doing that mix and instead comes off as shock value due to lazy writing.
@@ABAShortfilms Sion Sono’s film COLD FISH is basically THE PAINTER but done way better. Highly recommend that one if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s another example of how extreme elements in horror can cement it in the viewer.
Urbanspook feels like the Playground of analog horror, yeah. It's not scary, it's just... bad. It's crossed so many lines that it's gone back around into just being uninteresting, and that's putting aside the creator hismelf.
I've never heard of it, gotta check it out, thanks for the recommendation!
"Timmy was found with his pp ripped off. This is the pic. This is the painting called, *Timmy no pp* The End."

I LOVE MARBLE HORNETS! It's one of my favorite youtube horror series mainly cause I grew up watching it! Petscop is great as well.
well, at least valle verde exists for now, although it is very ambitious, some times it really looks like a professional, high-budget ARG instead of lo-fi, low budget analog horror.

He replied with the same thing on here lol
Dude has no capability to leave 2016.
Dude really sounds like the FNAF fangame community lives rent-free in his edgelord head. (I've seen edgelords who liked Amnesia because pewdiepie screamed really loudly at it call FNAF that before in 2014, so that tells you where he's stuck mentally.)

"The mysterious house" from The Walten file's, is a great example of something that is both shocking and horrifying, because terrible stuff like that has happened before. If you haven't watched the aforementioned video, I implore you to watch it. It's not too gory, but it is extremely upsetting.
I love that episode, one of my favorites
That name "the mysterious house" gives me ptsd just from hearing it 😨
I lost any shred of interest in UrbanSpook's series the moment he went off on Pastra like he did.
I've been a viewer of Pastra since early on, after I found his FNAF6 video, and stayed for the refreshing horror takes and his interesting art style. Pastra is honestly one of the least problematic TH-camrs, and he was speaking truth about how lowbrow "gore for the sake of gore" is in horror.
Also UrbanSpook doesn’t get to say shit when Pastra’s own analog horror series, Dreams of an Insomniac, is way better
@@brawler5760 urbanspook seems pretty chill right now, i checked his instagram and i can tell he loves horror movies from the 80s, the dude has talent but he wasted everthing in this bad series

Someone is trying to make a Pinwheel Analog Horror. Pinwheel is a *REAL* partially lost nickelodeon series that came out in the late 70's/early 80's. With so much of the series lost, one could possibly make a pretty good horror story around it, I mean I've seen some of the footage and it can sometimes come off as a bit unnerving to some, so it could work...
but Nooo, let's just add some unrelated clips with poorly integrated shadowy figures and a "spooky" text-to-speech voice during the mime segment. I know budget and talent is what makes an analog horror believable but if you're dedicated enough to tell your story, and use a bit of creativity, it can still come out pretty good regardless of the amount of or lack of fancy editing.
Bottom line: A pinwheel Analog Horror could work, it just needs to have a solid story and structure.
That's where Clockman comes from
Now I'm wondering how one could pull off a Zoobilee Zoo analogue horror. It's a live action preschool show from the 80s and I remember watching a couple eps of it as a wee kid back in the late 90s. It's not lost media, but the animal costumes can come off as kinda creepy to some people (I'm kinda immune from the creep factor from the costumes, personally, I mean people say the Cats broadway costumes are creepy looking and I freakin' love Cats, so), so I feel like that could be an interesting starting point. All it would need is a compelling storyline.
I feel like a lot of the issues that Analog horror stems from oversaturation of the genre, nothing seems entirely original anymore, trope after trope is being introduced and then immediately become oversaturated, because of that people will feel more comfortable going overboard with shockvalue because that's what they being lead to believe will make a good story.
It's sad, it's really sad because there is probably plenty of really good and creative Analog horrors that will immediately get overlooked, because people just aren't interested as soon as they see the dark thumbnail and obscure one word title.
I completely agree, a lot of the good stuff is getting overshadowed by stuff that I believe is sub par, so its getting harder and harder to find the diamonds in the rough.

The Steven Hillenburg message in the SpongeBob analog horror is actually disgusting, couldn’t agree with what you said more. It’s obvious that they’re just going too far, and to add on to that absolutely disgusting act, it’s clearly made for fame, money, and popularity. I really hope we’re going to come back from all of this analog horror downfall.
Also, could you do a whole video on _Boisvert ? I think it would be an interesting concept.

An analog horror creator by the name of ‘shut up jojo’ has actually done an analog horror video on child’s play, so you can check that out if you want (not forcing you to tho) however sadly it’s a one off video and not a series.
I feel like the SpongeBob one could've been spared if they had just made up some fictional animators, writers, sound producers, etc.., who worked on the show and focus on them. Just don't bring real life people into it.
8:10 I think the closest creepypastas were are stories like "Dead Bart" or "the Krabby Patty Secret Formula" but they never directly insulted the creators.
They just appear and give the narrator a "spooky bootleg episode" that gave them trauma because SPONGEBOB SAID HAIL SATAN OMG!
You should watch Junius B. It's one of the craziest analog horrors I've seen lately lmao. Definitely the best JoJo's Bizarre Adventure analog horror i've watched. Act 1 just finished and the entire thing was wild lol. I highly recommend it. The visuals are nice, the story is interesting, the characters are memorable and it has a good balance of horror and story. It's up next in the scene. it's one of the most creative analog horrors ive watched. the First set of episodes is a bit generic but the Eternal Days of Night storyline (the main one) is some shit ive never seen before lol

It is sad that Urbanspooks series mainly devolved into focusing on shock content rather than psychological or intelligent horror. It had looked promising after the first episode, too.
As a fellow Analog horror creator, it's always good to see some inspiring ideas that have a compelling story to tell as well.
Hi Rapid Chills
While listening to this I kept thinking of ocean man.
The song is just as much about Hilenburg as it is about Squarepants.
sm64 classified is my favorite analog horror, it takes the personalization AI conspiracy from sm64 and makes it 100000% better
Can we just have an analog horror that makes it look like someone's dealing with monsters but then it's revealed that they're all the employees he works with. And that stuck working in an office setting has drove him mad because of how mundane it is?
That’s a good idea
I actually remember seeing this picture on Twitter that had a similar premise to this. Except I think in the case of the picture the employees actually WERE analog horror entities.
I still have yet to find that picture again, not helped by the fact that I can't remember the original poster's account name.
Your video was put out five days ago and I found it on someone who was so pissed off at Urbanspook that he made an archive of critique videos called "Urbanspook Sucks..." And in me he found somebody who hates him enough to watch the whole playlist.... Lol... Needless to say for somebody who didn't know your channel before this you're off to a good start
I love the aesthetic of analog horror so naturally I love it even more when we find a good series. Greylock and Angel Hare are two favorites although the latter isn't really that horrific, more like a thriller drama. But you covered the absolute nadir of the genre here
Thank You! Lol I saw I was getting some views from that playlist. I have a fondness for analog horror, and I make my own occasionally as midsections in my videos, and I really hope it keeps going strong. Was just worried by a lot of the more recent ones. Glad you enjoyed the video!!!!
Its really just oversaturation at this point. When you have a small community driven by talented or inspired creators you get good material. People create these things without an outside context to restrain or deeply influence their creativity. Ted the Caver and Dionea House get lumped in with creepypasta but they were created in a world where that label didn't exist yet and thus they were created without the baggage of later creepypastas. Same goes for early analog horror, stuff like Local 58 and Gemini Home Entertainment existed in a world where analog horror didn't exist yet. Heck I remember when people just labeled them "dark media" (since creepypasta was out of vogue by then) and they were just horror series not genre horror series.
My point is that once a genre is established and proven to be popular you get copy-cats and people doing it for the fame instead of the genuine desire to create something new and creative. Ted the Caver wasn't made to cash in on some internet horror craze it was made to be a creative horror experience utilizing a new medium, and that goes for all the early analog horror as well. Internet horror in general has a cycle thats well established by this point. Early pioneers create without genre restraints, that inspires others to be creative as well while taking influences from what came before, this continues with more and more tropes being established which then go on to restrain further creative works, eventually you have the copy-cats that follow the tropes and genre conventions because the genre itself has effectively pigeon-holed itself. Any further works just add to the level of oversaturation after that point.
Every piece of media is going to suffer some kind of burnout. Slenderman started off as one of the most frightening entities ever created until so many clones were made that eventually the original horror of Slender the Eight Pages (or just Slender if anyone remembers when it was still called just that) was lost. Creepypastas were among one of the most popular forms of media with big TH-camrs at the time, Some Ordinary Gamers stand out, covering these stories to give their opinions on them, but the tropes became too many and very little originality was made for them. Analog Horror is just the next step of the cycle and, soon enough, there will be another cycle in horror. Starts off good, gets increasingly better, then the decline. Rinse and repeat.
The only take away from this continuous cycle of rise and fall is that rather than looking at these smaller stories, games, or videos series as bad because they aren't scary, we can at least enjoy them for what kind of story they tell. The Man In The Suit is a perfect example of that. It's scary, but what drives it is its story about a WWII victim being given power through a fictional character. If a series can't be scary then they can at least be what they are intended to be in the first place - entertaining.
One internet horror series that I'd like to mention thats kinda like analog horror but without the analog is happy meat farms. That series is able to tell a horror story without the use of too many analog horror cliches. I think doing online horror in a similar way to that is the next step after analog horror has ran it's course.
Never heard if it, I'll check it out. Sounds interesting.
I LOVE HMF!! Genuinely it’s one of the most fun rabbit holes to go under, it’s terrifying even when it uses analog horror tropes like the hidden texts, rambling, and some glitchy effects.
I feel like Local 58 shifting to doing Digital horror was a sign that Analog horror no longer has novelty.
The video was really good! I was super surprised when you said you only had 900 subscribers, because I thought you had at least 50k, if not more. Nice job!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
The sonic bootleg from 1995 analogue horror is more of what we need
Analogue Horror suffers from a low barrier to entry, which is also what makes it amazing. An Analogue Horror series basically has no restrictions as to what you can do with it besides I guess sticking to that Analogue "style"
For every Spongebob Analogue Horror and Urbanspook, there's a series like Gemini Home Entertainment, The Walten Files, the Mandela Catalogue, Eventide Media Center, Vita Carnis, Greylock, Dreams of an Insomniac, the Oldest View, Doors, The Man in the Suit, and so many more series that are brimming with creativity and passion
We, as humans, will always lean towards the negative side of things in regards to... well, anything. There's a reason that there's a saying about a few bad apples after all. We get so used to the good, that whenever something bad happens, it sticks out like a sore thumb and we don't stop focusing on it.
Personally, I still think Analogue Horror is in a better spot than it has been in quite a while. Sure we'll get things that are in all senses of the word, abominations against mankind, but we still get people pouring their passion into projects they otherwise would never get to make
7:45 I feel like punching my wall over and over again seeing the image of the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in Analog Horror. I met Stephen Hillenburg back in 2016 and he was genuinely the sweetest, caring person I’ve ever met. I still have a drawing I did back in 2016 that Stephen got to sign. I really hate that someone would mock the death of one of animation’s greatest heroes.
Stephen Hillenburg’s soul is now angry
@@omegaflowey9932 sadly, I feel like he is
That why jumpsacre hurt my eyes even though i put the video in miniplay oh God
Here’s an old one you could do, “No Through Road” the first ever analog horror series, to my knowledge
lmao, the 6th of june 2006 was the day I was expected to be born and my parents were actually going to call me Damien. turns out, I wasn't going to be born for another 17 days, and my parents decided to name me after Liam Neeson.
i remember where it all started, the fnaf tapes by squimpus(leaving the person he was discovered to be aside) made me fear fnaf when i never was afraid of the game. Then i started watching local 58 and gemini and those series tickled an old childhood fear of waking up on the middle of the night just to the white noise of the television or a static image of the tv channel with no sound and my mind just imagining seeing things in there. The best thing analogue horror has it's the psychological horror, the fear of the unknown. Now it's just pure shock horror as it seems. Sometimes we get some gems like the boiled one but it looks like the rest is a cluster of poorly made stuff. And it makes me so sad, because analogue horror at the start made me feel scared like never other media ever had, like losing sleep level.
PS: a really good analogue horror that you might've missed is dreams of an insomniac. It's pretty different and unique. I recommend checking it out
I dont know if you have checkd these 2 analoghorror serise but i think if you havent you should. ”dreams of an insomniac” by pastra and ”angel hare” by East patch. Angel hare is also probly not for everyone but i think its great. Both of them are new ”kinda” and WAY to underated in my opinion. Both true great gems that are Both very original
I love pastra's videos and have been keeping a close eye on that series cause I think it's quite good. I have heard a lot of good things about angel hare but haven't gotten around to checking it out yet. Thanks for the recommendations!
So happy I was recommended your video!!! You did a great job of showcasing all your points :D Over saturation is definitely a killer. There’s a point where you can see passion vs just hopping on the trend. I mean this in all media as well. Not every ARG/ Creepypasta/ whatever is gonna be good but you can always see when mounds of effort are put in. Mascot horror and the backrooms definitely got hit hard with cash grabs. The SpongeBob one was 100% so disrespectful. Again great video :D
This was a good video and you raised a lot of good points! no matter how realistic an analog horror is trying to be, mocking a real person's death is a no no. I wish more people knew that. Also you mention urbanspook, i know everyone had such high hopes for it but honestly? the guy dug his own grave, so to speak. he was horrible to people about the smallest of things and was a genuinely unfriendly guy.
Honestly I need more 2000s digital horror like GMod ARGs
I want to see an analog horror in a fantasy setting. That would be a great change of pace
The closest thing i can think of is Home Safety Hotline, where medieval folk creatures are simply a kind of household pest
This was a really well put together video! Honestly agree with you when it comes to stuff that only goes for shock value above all else, it's not really horror, it's just gross and uncomfortable.
One very important piece of feedback on the video itself thought, you need to make the epilepsy warning clearer than you did at 8:51, either by saying it verbally or having a full screen warning before the segment, as it is it blends in a bit.
Will do in the future, sorry about that, I realized it last minute. Glad you enjoyed it!
"What? It's just an ordinary Analoug- OH MY GOODNESS! SQUIDWARD!!!!"
I don’t know why but whenever I see the boiled one I just start fucking laughing, he looks more goofy than scary to me
The only analog horror I still follow is Mandela Catalogue, every other series I’ve just dropped or weren’t interested in.
At this point when it comes to analog horror, I just watch people talk about them instead, especially for the ones like 6/06/2006. I find it quite sad that the only horror media to genuinely unsettle me back then is now this.
With SpongeBob, being a significant part of my childhood, seeing the creator in this state is sickening. I’m going back to Gemini home entertainment.
You know what I’m gonna try my best to revive analog horror
Amazing video dude! I remember back then my friend warned me and others to NOT support or watch an Urbanspook for any circumstances, curiosity kills the cat so I watched it. Tbh I was easily disgusted by the creator for making this series especially that one video everyone mentions about (Which I won’t say cuz CSA) It’s super sad to see what he did in his series, I missed being scared of the OLD creepy pasta like Slender man, Jeff the killer, Mickey Mouse one (Won’t say the first one lol) and way more :/
Certainly I think giving new stuff a shot is a good idea, it means that potentially good things that you may like that others don't, or maybe even just finding a quiet gem, it's all a good idea to still check in now and then. I fully agree with things melding together and no longer being appealing, a derivative of a derivative for the sake of popularity instead of passion. And I understand getting tired of it. Still, looking into things now and then is a good idea, but there's a reason I go to horror curators instead of looking for series on my own. I tend to find better quality that way.
'i was so happy when i saw i had 800 subs, now i'm at 900'. over 1.87k now and the video has just come out, congratulations 👏
Completely unrelated, but this video was made THREE DAYS AGO, and you are saying thank you for 900 subscribers (currently he’s at 2.37k). Well done!
the only good part with the spongebob one was after posting it the backlash was so big that they got completely booted off the internet and deleted their socials
Its funny Creepypasta's are coming back due to nostalgia but its a cycle I've seen happen to many internet horror genre's
We saw it with Creepypasta's, Backrooms, Anti Piracy screens, Analog Horror, Gmod ARG's ect
I know digital horror is the new thing rn and I hope it doesn't end up like the previously mentioned but given enough time and popularity it sadly will
And so, we begin to cycle back to it… i thought we escaped the hyper-realistic era
Stephen hillenberg did nothing to deserve that kind of analog horror! Makes me feel more than 100% sorry for the man that made Spongebob Squarepants!
that moment of Stephen Hillenberg disrespect was the same breaking point for me as Ezekiel's death in TWD comic. After awhile, both pieces of media just became the same thing of shock value
I think horror is better with less jumpscares or quiet jumpscares, or maybe even false-alarm jumpscares
Ohhhh, so that's why people don't like "6/06/2006." I forgot that Stephen Hillenburg died of Lou Gehrig's.
As someone currently working on my own analog horror (Not released yet) getting crazy with the shock can get really tempting. But you need more than a few scary faces to make analog horror. you need it to be interesting, you need to tell a story, and you need a reason for why your monsters/killers are there instead of letting them exist just for the sake of shock value. The analog horror I'm making is called Hutchers Swamp. There's a few old safety tapes about how to safely explore an uncharted biome recently founded by a man named Jeremy Hutcher. A few monsters roam the swamp, some dangerous, some docile as expected from any analog horror but it won't be focused entirely on these creatures or who fell victims. the main focus isn't what's in the swamp, but what the swamp is.
Edit: If this isn't pinned I'm going to put a stray lego in front of your bathroom door before the morning.
Is it going to be based on some other media or is it completely original?
the tapes are going to be slightly mandala based and the setting is woodlands national park based. I might take some inspiration from Vita carnis for creature ideas but I already have a few I like.
@@YourAverageDclassBenevolent or non-malicious monsters in horror stories are super underrated.I hope I can see the analog horror released soon.

Stephen Hillenburg is now angry.
Urbanspook was escalating its shock with each installment, but after a while it hits you that you're not actually learning anything about anyone other than the painter is a bad man. Something simple as having named characters conducting the investigation could've added a dynamic between forces, but with every named person being dead it doesn't work.
The only time I remember a creepy pasta using real deaths was the Fallout 3 number stations one, but that wasn't TOO bad and there was more to it.
I've only really written 3 creepypastas myself, I'm unsure of how they hold really, personally looking back at some of the other creepypastas, I can see things I didn't notice before and it gives me a chance to discuss with friends how we would have written/done things differently, which is fun. Me and another friend are actually thinking of how to make creepypasta movies based on our rewrites of the originals.
Urban spook series reminds me of elfen lied its a series where it focuses too much on being shocking but it has no substance
Unlike a series like Higurashi where the shot and gore is done well (Least in the VNs) and it focuses on horror and uses its deaths sparingly
Urbanspook was okay, I guess. Until the 2nd episode. I love the concept, but communism was a good concept, and look what happened to that.
I want to create a new analog horror series, im learning alot of what not to do but im afraid by the time i can the hype train for AH will be over

Low key didn’t even realize how small your channel is, Some quality content can’t wait to watch all your vids
Well, at least it makes you feel something, like disgust, instead of boredom from the 5 and a minutes of static in a 5 minute and 40 second video
Feel like this is just how the ebb and flow of popularity as a whole goes. Few projects are crazy good, launch a thousand copies, over saturation kills interest until someone does something groundbreaking, then the cycle repeats. Nothing stays fresh and fun forever, there are no breaks. People will also naturally be more critical of the 200th project than the first.
At this stage it’s just things being thrown at the wall to see what sticks. If the project crashes and burns? Oh well, maybe a lesson will be learned. But probably not for these two.
Reminds me of that one Fnaf VHS tape where they were using REAL MISSING KIDS, who were probably never found which makes it even more disturbing, not the video but the fact they used real missing children for their video.
So was this spooky spinge bib episode just animated in real time as the channel takeover went on or what?
(Also congratz on 3K subs, dood)
The man in the suit finally got a new episode it’s pretty good

Great video, man, I instantly subscribed. Personally I don't know if I agree completely, analog horror is indeed getting more and more oversaturated, like many other horror genras, and a lot of people are indeed using it just for clout at this point. However, I think it's a bit to early to say that analog horror is actually on a decline, the presence of bad analog horror doesn't mean there arenot still artists who do put heart into their projects and who are still releasing good analog horror. I agree that the well has been relatively dry for the past months, but I'm sure there are still projects in the making that are worth waiting for and to my knowledge, and I think their's also a good chance that we'll see some of the og's make a return, as some of the stories are still not done to my knowledge. Great video man, keep up the work, you can totally make it big.
Thats entirely fair, and I'm glad you liked the video. I hope that I'm wrong and that they are able to bring the genre back, which is why I still gave myself some room to return in case things get better lol. Thank you for watching, hope to see you again next week!

I think one of the best analog horror (I think), is Monument Mythos. Yes, there is sometimes a little shock value. Yes, it uses real life people. But it never paints them as some sort of horrific monsters, or psycho killers. And, it has an quite interesting, and mind-blowing story.
I think thats the difference people don't understand, you can use real people in a way thats not gross. The spongebob one uses Stephen Hillenburg in a way that paints him not only as a bad person but also mocking his death. You can do it in a correct way, and I agree, the monument mythos is great!
When I have more experience in making videos, I kind of want to do a fake trailer for a "The Painter" film but it's portrayed as a 70s Giallo horror film with even including some elements from those types of films (bright red color palettes, black leather gloves, etc.).
Creepypasta’s did get as bad. The big one is Cry Baby Lane implying Peter Lauer a real person was some sadistic monstrous freak. The worst part is the story’s description of Lauer fits one of John Kricfalusi who WAS an actual despicable person connected to Nickelodeon. Either it’s a coincidence or the writer just used Lauer for some weird reason.
Analog horror is certainly oversaturated with trope after "scary thing makes people die if they watch it" trope, tbh i've moved to eas scenarios. Are they scary? Sometimes since the alert noise does creep me out, but a good example was the Polar Express eas scenario that was made last year that really gives you chills as if youre there watching it unfold in real time
As a analog horror fan person, I think lately every series has become the same of showing a disturbing picture and a text describing and then black screen and a jumpscare. But there are some series that are my favorite that really works great by having a good story. Like The Walten Files, HMF, Lacey's games which is one of my favorites, it created a whole trope that felt original and using girlhood traumas or girls games that make it shocking for girls like me get shocked and feel connected with the protagonist or characters and how their experiences are shown as pure horror, because that's how it feels. I think analog horror is something that can be used for pure shock value or just vhs files or connect with the viewer and the story and make you scared while also seeing the art behind it.
lacey games are more digital horror than analog horror
@@Wizardjones69 Ohh right, I forgot about it lol thanks for the correction
I am infertile from eating scented candles. The
y'know, I'm surprisingly with you on a lot of things. Mostly that the genre has felt just as starved as Creepypasta did during it's twilight years. The difference however is people trying to make a tired old format work, dragging the typical things you'd see kicking and screaming.
If people weren't so hyper-focused on doing what everyone else had already done twenty times over, and instead came up with their own unique approach, I feel like Analog horror could actually become better. I know digital horror is definitely on the rise, and that's cool and all, but I feel like the better Analog Horror series have become exceptions in an otherwise stale genre. Walten Files doesn't even feel like analog horror, and instead feels like a greek tragedy to watch.
The thing that killed my analogue horror videos is that I see that I keep falling into these traps even though it’s just two videos. They’re both cringe and they’re not even scary nor creepy. If only there was a new series of analogue horror that is actually interesting and doesn’t fall for traps that can easily lead the series to a downfall. So I do agree with what you said that people should just give analogue horror a break.
What is the source of that first clip, with a creature below the AMC sign? It's got a vibe that just creeps me out and I want to see the full thing.
The Oldest View Part 3 by Kane Pixels
Yeah, I always thought Analog Horror was dumb, except with a few good ones like Gemini Home Entertainment and Kane Pixel's Backrooms being some of favorites. But If I had to recommend the best one I have seen, Vita Carnis is the best and my favorite out of all of them. Except for those three, I don't watch analog horror.
I’d also recommend these(some aren’t just vids):
Shipwrecked 64, Catastrophe crow and dreams of an insomniac, Freddy juniors origins part one, fnaf the crushing blow, skinamarink
I feel while yea there’s some sucky analog horror stuff, we really need to be fair in that there’s more good stuff than people give it credit for
It’s just these bad ones that overshadow the actually good ones cuz people like talking about bad stuff like it’s an addiction
We need a patrick star analog horror
There are still some new remakes of old Creepypastas that are amazing and I feel like it's going to be the same for analog horror once it gets very old, people are going to revisit it and make it better
