this is probably bizarre to hear, but whenever me and my partner dont know what to watch, sometimes one of us will turn to the other and say "once in a generation..." in your signature severe cadence and then put this on 😄 This is kind of a comfy video for us and have probably put it on at least 20 times now, so thank you for making it and introducing me to vintage 8. That fella's prolific, isn't he. This was also my first experience of your content when my partner showed me this video, and you definitely have a presenting style and voice that is both suitable for the content but also not distracting. I find horror content analysts in the same vein like wowman or Billy Styler often lay it on too thick or belabor their talking points too much for dramatic effect which takes me out of it and gets on my nerves, but you've got the balance of the presenting formula down in a way that really works for me. While i didn't have much interest in the Minecraft version branch ARG as a subject matter, i still watched the whole thing and appreciated all the effort you put into the title cards and other flavor editing you did for that video - it was a big one, so i figured you should know your efforts are not unnoticed.
Hey there! Thank you for leaving this comment. I've been thinking about it all evening, haha. I am incredibly happy my style of video and presentation has left a positive impression on both you and your partner, and I'm happy that I've been able to provide a comfort to you two. I never really thought of my videos as content people go back and rewatch, so knowing that I've made such an impact is important to me. Thank you for that. As for my narration, it comes with the territory! Teaching has helped me to hone in on a particular cadence and talking style that keeps my students at least somewhat engaged when I'm talking, haha. While I may not always be successful in holding their attention, at least I'm able to hold yours to a degree! I appreciate all of your support even on videos covering content you aren't particularly interested in. It means a lot knowing people are out there watching and appreciating the little details. Once again, thank you. Alex "Sinister" Heart
The funny thing is that I used to live in Louisiana. When I first watched The Tangi Virus,I just thought "Thank god I moved". Keep up the good work! I was hoping for someone to cover this!
That's why I like Vintage Eight. True, many of their series seem a bit unpolished, but the core concepts behind them are spectacular. My favorite is "The children under the house". It's just kid's drawings and a pretty hit or miss VA, but my god is it creepy, especially when the twist is revealed.
I always grade analog horrors on a scale, because there's only so much you can do with the resources you have, but the delivery in the video when the scientists realizes that she's been infected was perfect. Just the simplicity of it, more than you would expect from a text to speech
I wanna say that's footage of Caenorhabditis elegans, a microscopic worm used for cancer research. Really well made analog horror, even if the science seems a little dubious
Honestly this was creepy until the decisions made by the characters near the end lol. The fact they only sent the info to the local news station and the local government made no sense. I feel like at that point anyone would have prioritized telling a more powerful governing body
I think that's deliberate. We know at that point she's infected, and although she's trying to fight back, she's losing the battle. I think sending the tapes to the only two places we know are already fully under the parasite's control was likely the influence of the parasites inside Dr Williams herself.
to me the scariest video was the rescue firemen video. the fact that Molly is most likely dead after one of the creatures attacks and he's still calling in to no response us scary. that whoke video was unsettling
i had to warm up to this part of the video. at first glance the voice acting seemed shoddy to me. Why would a man looking for survivors of a flash flood be so unbothered and light in his tone? but near the end i was caught. the delivery in “oh jesus, that sounds close” where he’s only just beginning to grasp the hopelessness of his situation, but JUST barely. he’s not even properly terrified yet. turned me right around and made me forgive everything from earlier in the recording.
I would love for you to cover more vintage eight stuff, they have some amazing and complex stories coming together to form one of the most complex shared universes I’ve ever seen
Mean prank idea to pull on reaction live streamers who react to this series: use whatever thing theyre using (be it twitch point redeems or whatever youtube has as an equivalent) to send reminders to hydrate while they talk about the series.
As a lifelong resident there have 100% been kids who have swam underwater in creeks here in Louisiana where brain eating amoeba that swam into their ears and they died afterwards. We were always by our parents told not to dip our heads in the creek water when we'd swim but we still did when jumping in from time to time in certain areas not known to have infections. There really aren't many creeks left open to the public like that anymore here anyways that aren't owned by private property owners with no trespassing. I don't blame them, kids after us ended up littering and breaking glass bottles ruining a lot for us after we grew up and went to bring our kids back.
Excellent video! Would love to see a similar breakdown on the sequel. You've got a heck of a talent for covering analog horror and really making it pop.
Just wanted to say really fast, I didn’t realize this was an analog horror analysis. I was looking for real life event analysis videos, so for the first 1/5th of this video I thought it was a real event.
Great, video, as always. The way the parasites are described, it makes me think of the movie "Trench 11" thin, clear, worm like parasites getting into people and driving the nuts. You should check it out. Thank again for such great content, AND YES we would love for you to do the sequel.
A small town bureaucrat preventing our protagonist from taking the steps needed to save the town because it would hurt tourism. Very clear and well done Jaws inspiration. Pretty sure I'd take Bruce over this, though.
Even though this is made with pretty much rudimentary materials this was a pretty good watch! I liked the video of Davis on the boat and his encounter with the tangi water monster.
I think my favorite genre of Analog horror is just "I poisoned the water supply, now everyone died... whoops" also, can we agree whoever played the mayor did a great job?
The only to stopping a virus is to contain the city or the state and shutting down all transit points like train stations and airports, bus terminals bridges and tunnels. like in every movie about outbreaks
Great video. I do have a few suggestions, though. Winter of 83 (starts cheesy, gets good, trust me) Sinkhole (tangi/oracle spinoff) Human Trial (another spinoff) The Itch (another spinoff, though it feature trypophobia triggers, albeit with a neutered version if thats not your groove Doctor Nowhere (the boiled one guy, most of his videos are a bit... different, but alot do still tie into a logical potential narrative. if you cover one thing of his, it should be the boiled one.) and finally CH/SS (an ARG credited as being the first true analog horror) Sorry if this is quite a daunting list, but, if you have to pick one.... I recommend finishing V8's series. There are many he made I didn't suggest, mostly because some dont tie in with Tangi Virus, and some MIGHT and it's unconfirmed, that or I am just not a good observer. Probably the latter, honestly. I mean Thing In the Static and Children Under the House are both nice, but they dont tie in with Tangi or Oracle. I myself would just knock out all the ones I know are tied together, as completing a narrative is satisfying for me.
I liked the Oracle Project more than the Tangi virus, personally. The relationship between the doctor and the Oracle felt real. That being said I do see the more unsavory aspects *cough cough* alien lizard men out of nowhere *cough cough*
Great video, although I’m a little curious. Is he doing a voice? I don’t remember him sounding like that. Idk maybe I’m remembering wrong and I’ve gone nuts.
The whole TH-cam channel covers multiple different series of the disturbing things that happens in cates crossing the people under the house also happens in this area
Eh, it would have been more cool/haunting if it remained just a virus/parasite cover up. Instead of a alien thing or whatever... Kinda just lost interest in the analog horror
good video but man this series itself feels like it's lacking... a lot. there isn't really anything in effective setup and the faft our main visual is an english(?)woman TTS for what's supposed to be a human being in louisiana does a lot to take you out of it. the writing also seems very...bare? seeming to just state the needed information with no attempt to really ground it, add more nuance or detail. for goodness' sake the way they showed the government covering up the disease was stock footage and the line "DRINK WATER!" it just really doesn't land because it feels like it's an abridged version of itself
Ikr? I think he's just trying to put on some deeper tone for dramatic effect but honestly it actually sounds frighteningly identical to the speech of someone in the early stages of Parkinson's disease.

I'm glad you're covering this series. It always felt underappreciated in my eyes, even if it's rough around the edges
That's why I like Vintage Eight. True, many of their series seem a bit unpolished, but the core concepts behind them are spectacular. My favorite is "The children under the house". It's just kid's drawings and a pretty hit or miss VA, but my god is it creepy, especially when the twist is revealed.
"Tangi water, it'll change you"
The cheeky bastards
That part actually got a chuckle out of me. It’s so silly and cheesy but It wasn’t like oh i hate it because it’s cheesy.
I always grade analog horrors on a scale, because there's only so much you can do with the resources you have, but the delivery in the video when the scientists realizes that she's been infected was perfect. Just the simplicity of it, more than you would expect from a text to speech
I wanna say that's footage of Caenorhabditis elegans, a microscopic worm used for cancer research. Really well made analog horror, even if the science seems a little dubious
"A little"? 😂 As a zoologist, it's fun to recognize some of the species stock footage in Vintage Eight's work, especially in this and "The Swarm".
heck yea! I was wondering what they are
in universe they remind me of plasmodium, so they're more like parasites
edit... I forgot that they were-
That boil water advisory is absolutely terrifying.
When it came on, I was just finishing up washing my hands. Sent a chill through my whole body. Peak analog horror moment.
Honestly this was creepy until the decisions made by the characters near the end lol. The fact they only sent the info to the local news station and the local government made no sense. I feel like at that point anyone would have prioritized telling a more powerful governing body
I think that's deliberate. We know at that point she's infected, and although she's trying to fight back, she's losing the battle. I think sending the tapes to the only two places we know are already fully under the parasite's control was likely the influence of the parasites inside Dr Williams herself.
Agreed
to be fair she was on chemo made for dogs, so i dont think her head was still screwed on right
I think it was because she was infected as she most likely knew that the fptv was already overtaken with their pro water broadcasts
yeah, I don't see why you would prioritise telling the clearly infected government instead of the fbi or another similar group.
to me the scariest video was the rescue firemen video. the fact that Molly is most likely dead after one of the creatures attacks and he's still calling in to no response us scary. that whoke video was unsettling
Then for the next video to say that the water was the "safest in the state" didn't sit right.
i had to warm up to this part of the video. at first glance the voice acting seemed shoddy to me. Why would a man looking for survivors of a flash flood be so unbothered and light in his tone? but near the end i was caught. the delivery in “oh jesus, that sounds close” where he’s only just beginning to grasp the hopelessness of his situation, but JUST barely. he’s not even properly terrified yet. turned me right around and made me forgive everything from earlier in the recording.

Ya know, this series has a sequel I would love to see you cover at some point.
I've been asked a few times to cover the sequel. I'm hoping to find time among my other projects to cover it as well!
Do an analysis on The Oracle Project, the sequel to The Tangi Virus.
Great, video, as always. The way the parasites are described, it makes me think of the movie "Trench 11" thin, clear, worm like parasites getting into people and driving the nuts. You should check it out.

Poor Dr. Williams 😔
The sinister part of this is the fact that its actually possible irl
"Pro Water Propaganda" Dang those H2O pushers!
Absolutely! Pleas cover the sequel series!
Vintage eight has always been my third favorite analog horror creator after Darian quilloy and Alex kister

Another amazing video, keep up the great work!
There's also a sequel called oracle project. i assume people watching this will know but i'll comment it here just in case
Great video. I do have a few suggestions, though.
Winter of 83 (starts cheesy, gets good, trust me)
Sinkhole (tangi/oracle spinoff)
Human Trial (another spinoff)
The Itch (another spinoff, though it feature trypophobia triggers, albeit with a neutered version if thats not your groove
Doctor Nowhere (the boiled one guy, most of his videos are a bit... different, but alot do still tie into a logical potential narrative. if you cover one thing of his, it should be the boiled one.)

CH/SS (an ARG credited as being the first true analog horror)

only in america dawggg

this is exactly the kind of thing I expected we'd end up finding scattered around on the internet after 2020. long comment is long, tl;dr: i think this series is weak and poorly made.
seeing your allusions/inspirations breakdown: you missed 'the global pandemic that has inspired hundreds of mediocre unfiction pieces about mystery viruses/diseases so far.' yes, greater diseases have swept the planet in the past. unfortunately, this plague happened during a time when everyone who experiences it gets the big-brain idea to turn it into a brand new unfiction series and act like they're pioneers in the media field.
This whole thing just seems like... the whole is less than the sum of its parts. Everybody else seems to be a fan, so I guess i'm playing devil's advocate, but i just think this is uninspired, disjointed, and weak. why did they have the MAIN VOCAL NARRATOR played by a ?scottish? text-to-speech program? why were half the story hooks never followed up on? the voice acting that WAS in there was... average. could've been worse.
i guess i'm just sick of people producing spooky virus projects in 2021 and 2022 and acting like it's something original. I can see they TRIED to make it less of a blatant but less offensive copy of real-world events by including small-town politics and aliens, but it just ended up feeling like a confused mishmash. Aliens! conspiracies made by the aliens! pay no attention to the timeline!
it just feels so... derivative and exhausting now. yes. we know. there's a global pandemic still happening now. no, i do not find reliving the discovery process of it exciting or interesting in the slightest. no, including aliens does not change my mind on that. it just makes me think about the real world. stop it.
So there's _my_ take, I guess. unlike most people (as far as i can tell from the comments), I think this was a cobbled-together bandwagon piece latching on to the analog horror trend with no inspiration save current world events, which produced an exhausting, unoriginal work with maybe one or two sparks of actual interesting concepts.
