Sorry but im getting tired of analog horror relying solely on mimicking humans and creepy distorted faces, there's other ways horror can be implied besides doing this over and over.
@@AccountFromGoogle the painter was almost a really good concept, but got shit on by it’s creator, just relying on shock for fear. My fav analog horror series is Monument Mythos, give it a watch.
That's an incredibly valid take! My analog horror take is that it's ridiculous to put all digital horror with aesthetics from the 1950s to early 2000s in a single viral category with a bunch of trendy weight to it.
Especially since the PSA at the beginning explicitly implores you to lock down your home and have a weapon at the ready to defend yourself at all costs by any means necessary. Seeing, say, found security footage of someone at least trying to fight back could highlight how much of a threat those monsters really are.
This has gotta be one of my biggest gripes with almost all horror stories set in the US (or other countries with accessible firearms). We need at least one good horror setting where a character just goes full on monster hunter. I guess Evil Dead counts, but still.
This analog horror series was the only one to actually make me feel like I was watched for some reason Edit: what is the most spooky analog horror series that you have seen?
@@CreatureCreator765 yeah. Greylock is probably my favorite analog horror. *WAY* better than the shock valued and lazy series known as the series called; "The Painter"
the song that played in the "i will wear your skins" part is "teddy bear picnic" by henry hall. not only does the old-timey song add to the creepiness of it, but also the lyrics may have a connection to the story- most notably the ones we hear in the video, "if you go down in the woods today, youre sure of a big surprise" likely meaning the chamber in the woods. plus, the next line tells you to go in disguise- perhaps the skins are a disguise for these weird creatures?
analog horror needs to stop trying to present static images and paintings as "video footage", it sticks out like a sore thumb and obliterates any suspension of disbelief.
I think it's important to remember that analog horror is typically lower budget, and those types of effects take a ton of effort and planning from what's usually a one-man crew While I do agree that moving effects are nice, I think at some point we just have to temper expectations.
@@thirdwordbird3011 as an artist, i totally understand that, but trying to pass it off as "video footage" messes with immersion. I personally would just stick to "photos" as it can be equally scary without taking you out of the world.
i know the creator irl met him at the collage entrance exams to fine arts , we were supposed to be together but i was in another building than him he's a pretty chill guy with a really cool way of thinking i am glad he is getting some light
Anyone else feel like analogue horror is kinda doing the anime/isekai too many iterations thing? Like it was creepy and compelling for a while, but each successive new series is more on-the-nose and gratuitous with the humanoid nightmare creatuers, than the last.
idk man analogue horror still manages to always freak me tf out. though, a very very unique one thats genuinely freaky which ive seen lately is actually based on a fucking mlp infection creepy au but they take it so seriously and theyre just so damn good at making it look terrifying that it really works.
Nice coverage of this series! While it’s kinda creepy, it’s a bit too formulaic & similar to many other previous series out there (Mandela, Greylock & Gemini especially) that it loses some of its impact for me. This would be a great intro series if folks are unfamiliar with AH in general though! Still interested to see where it goes.
Agreed, they all seem to follow the same formula and have the same tropes like a PSA, scary faces popping up on screen and other shit like that. It's done to death at this point and if they aren't bringing anything original to the genre then I don't even want to watch them.
ngl I immediately had my immersion absolutely destroyed when I saw the "ancient manuscript". Hideth from the creature! Runneth! Runneth! 'twill killeth thee and thy family. 'twill (???) thee to pieces. (?) looks liketh a human. I just. I don't claim to be an expert on Old English but that looks just straight up incorrect.
Imo still images can only get you so far. The reason why the new Mandela catalogue videos hit so much harder that the originals is that you see the alternates *MOVE*. You finally get to see this esoteric threat upfront, and it's horrifying. That's also why greylock works so well. It understands you can't have full frontal scares all the time. Sometimes the threat of something scary is so much more distressing than seeing something actually scary.
From what I can make out at 3:01, "If you have seen this face you must: CLOSE YOUR HOUSE DOORS, WINDOWS, AND STAY INSIDE. Something has been killing people in Basswood County which looks like a Demon- Basswood police."
I know not everyone is aware of it, but it seems misguided using the same text-to-speech as JOHN MADDEN JOHN MADDEN JOHN MADDEN. Even still, to be honest, I felt this was pretty phoned in otherwise. A couple neat scenes aside (like the choose the face shower scene), it's par for the course. Creepy drawings, manic scribblings, sudden face contortions, glitching audio, emergency broadcasts, blah blah blah. We need more movers and shakers in the analogue horror scene at this point. I want more shit like Skinamarink, or creative uses of established IP like the Godzilla AH. Even Mandela Catalogue evolved dramatically over its many videos, and Vita Carnis grounding its lore in plausible psuedo-science was excellent. Not enough of that going around.
I agree the concept of this series is very derivative. But the pitch perfect execution of the scares elevates it for me. The faces looking around corners really made my skin crawl and I had to look away at points. Even though I can tell they are hand drawn, the framing and timing of those shots is literally perfect at evoking fear, almost better than the scares of MC. To me, that mostly makes up for the played out story. But you are right, I think we all want to see something brand new in this genre.
@@BoeBins I honestly felt the constant jumpscares ended up being very boring. The timing was so predictable, and I knew exactly what was going to pop out.
@@mook_butt8037 Fair enough. The artwork itself was still scary enough to work for me even when I saw it coming, but I can understand that it was still ultimately pretty predictable in terms of timing. Honestly I didn't even interpret those moments as "jumpscares," moreso as low-key regular scares if that makes sense.
"perhaps they sense something I don't" is always an awful awful vibe in horror. The idea that even camera cannot communicate the true horror of just being AROUND creatures, the gut-instinct that sends goosebumps crawling over your skin and dread washing over you, the sense of *wrongness* even if you cannot see or hear what is out there.
i feel like all of these 'next big analog horror series' just end up being the mandela catalogue with some glitter on it. its getting to be kinda predictable
Analog horror needs to take some time and expand its genres. Weee just seeing reskinned versions of Gemini Home Video, The Mandela Catalog, and Local 58, as well as a few others. The schtick has already worn thin. Creators in the future need to begin using new forms of analog media or try tapping into new forms of alternate horror from said eras. Otherwise it’ll just become aBackrooms situation.
@@ahumanbeing8371 real horror is atmospheric like hearing a knock on the door but no one's there. Horror, as a genre, has so much potential but small budgets, lackluster writing and a deficit of creative passion makes it a criminally missed opportunity. It doesnt have to suck.
That’s why I’ve been so bored by horror content lately, even movies. Give me something that keeps me up at night instead of just having a monster go “boo!” a few times.
@@thomasbane0to me "real horror" doesnt exist. sometimes horror is a spanish found footage zombie film, sometimes its a japanese visual novel sold in komiket, sometimes its if chuck e cheese was haunted, and sometimes its that if it was more of a tragedy. all of these things i refuse to namedrop unless someone else names them are very different, but in my eyes none of them are able to be considered "real horror" because in terms of doing their job as horror (being scary) theyre just about neck and neck. now there is "bad horror"
I hate what analog horror has become. None of it has that feeling of authenticity that Local 58 had in spades. It just became a weird, unrealistic template that doesn't work.
Its crazy how this channel only has just under 100k, im so glad i found it because over all the cheap content , your videos are (unllike them) actually captivating and the delivery is great. I hope you succeed ❤❤
I mean the production value is nice and all, but it seems like a bit of a random mix of popular analog horror without much understanding for what makes it creepy. The chamber especially feels so random, filled with completely nonsensical "creepy shit", and as good as the art is, its difficult to ignore the stock-VHS-overlay and Jerma face lol
2:57 What I find most unsettling about this, is not too long ago, the internet had all those “have you seen this face in your dreams?” images going around that were reminiscent of the figures on those “have you seen this face?” papers.
This was solid for 2 episodes before turning into the creator messing around because he could It doesn't really have anything to offer other than being a recolor of Mandela Catalogue, the chamber is cool but the creator blew through it too quickly and any luster it would have is weak
Whilst it's pretty good, it unfortunately really feels like a rehash of Mandela Catalogue. Even down to it's name. Mandela County, Basswood County. It's kind of blatant. I hope it creates it's own unique identity because so far it is nothing more than a reskin with potential.
The guy who took the sewer shot is lucky as Hell to have been in a town with grated storm drains. Even then I don't think my heart would be able to pump blood after the shock of seeing this...thing
I think I would enjoy this one a lot more if there was actually movement or people being filmed. The way it just cuts to an image every time after a filmed section makes it less immersive imo, although this is still very creepy and well-made. I prefer something like Vita Carnis, where you actually get to see these creatures move. It isn't bad by any means, I really do appreciate this one as creepy for sure.
I think it's mainly because this creator seems to lack a lot of resources. Still, he's honestly doing really well with the amount of stuff he has at his disposal. Am excited to see where this series goes.
this has a lot in common with mandela catalogue... -strange, twisted faces -the generated whispers -vhs style -a lot of black and white contrast i dunno...
One of my favorite analog horror genres is EAS Scenarios for SCPs. A good example is Alert World's "SCP-280 Eyes In The Dark" video. The simplified symbols of the horrific creatures really leaves a lot to the imagination, while the robotic voice-overs and "Remain calm in imminent danger" vibe really crank it up for me.
tbh ion think i'll ever grow tired of the EM broadcast system + human-like creatures combo, it's really the first horror style in a long time i've found genuinely interesting
11:46 I am by no means saying this was a goofy susus amogus jumpscare but the fact that you called a spooky face in the dark being "horror at it's finest", I bursted out laughing
The artwork in this one is pretty creepy... But they need a better writer. "Location: A victim's home," and "It has been 11 murders until now" sounds like my 5th grade child wrote it.
This series wears its inspirations on its sleeve, but i see it more as an homage than a copycat. It does tread the line of plagiarism. Evil beinga that steal your likeness? Where have I seen that? Humanoids that break into your house from another realm? Old VHS movies clips with a sinister twist? Police tapes? A detective character who ends up becomig a victim? Where they really set themsleves apart is with the lore surrounding the Chamber. But unfortunately, they used way too many tropes. I guess they are limited by the genre. But in spite of that, I would call this series a success. A lot of work went into artistic design, and that alone is praise worthy.
Mentioned far too many things overrule its praise. You're praiaing too little with standards too low, this is hardly better than any other new analog horror which is doing the exact same tropes
tbh i went into the series thinking "yeah, it's late at night, but it's just gonna be a silly mandela catalogue clone haha" but then that shot of the creature looking into the window in alberson's tapes had me awake well past sunrise
10:21 When the 4th bottle of Benadryl really starts to hit 11:28 Me three seconds without zaza 12:12 When bro whips out the biggest flopper I've ever seen 12:52 Me when I'm getting bullied so I activate my inner wolf 13:58 When I'm shedding and I find someone who's skin looks perfect (I'm mumbling a little) 16:57 When I'm excited about the zoom on my new camera (Ignore my happy little laugh) 18:44 I'm a wittle bit firsty 18:50 When bro finishes tugging at the sausage 19:31 Day 4 of crack-cocaine 20:29 When bro doesn't hop on after '10' (I'm at his house) 20:40 What I tell myself while I'm in a race 21:07 When I'm playing Hide and Seek with a random woman at 1 in the morning (She didn't hide very well) 21:13 Me fulfilling my dream of becoming a Bowling Pin 22:31 What bro sees in middle of the night at a sleepover (I want to play some Minecraft with him) 22:57 When I'm checking if my homemade pipe bomb is working or not 23:11 Me telling my mum I pissed in my bed 23:31 Me three seconds without zaza (Shut up I know it's the same joke) 24:00 th-cam.com/video/NOaSdO5H91M/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=WarehouseSoundFX (Trust it's not a virus)
5:15 The reason why it is more unsettling is that 4 is recognized by your brain as not human, while 5 is recognized by your brain as a mimicry, like a dangerous parasite puppeteering that human
I dont think this series does enough to distinguish itself. Ultimately came off as tired and bland with little of its own to actually say and do. On top of this I feel as if it does a poor job of building tension, and its frequent use of the 'scary monster' really just makes fall flat and feel unearned.
@@Waspinmymind honestly dude at the end of the day, theres no such thing as a new idea in story telling. just new combinations. if there are people out there who enjoy more of the same and want to make their own, they will make more of the same.
@@defective.6192 honestly i feel like you shouldnt use live footage of somewhere and then just cut to an image of the same exact place at the same time but with a spooky monster edited in it just doesnt make it scary, if you're going to do that just use photos instead of videos
"This guy" is the creator, Dark Mind. Pretty sure it is him. He pops up constantly. He is image #5, he is the hands on the curtain, he is the "what does his face look like?" dude, he is also the guy in the ad who says he will catch up with you, and the eyes that open up around 23:17 and the victim in bed going through the transformation.
Your commentary and editing is sharp as always but for the series per se i think it was too all over the place, despite some pretty nice scenes, most of them just gave me the laughs instead of spooking me, like the "found footages" Also the sudden glitches and out of nowhere creepy faces like some folks pointed out in the comments. But its not that bad, just an ok series.
What an incredibly bland and boring Analog horror. Hardly unique on its own, borrowing nearly all of its concepts from other series. No matter how many times you SAY its scary it cant actually MAKE it scary. You could tell me a puppy is frightening a million times, but at the end of the day its still a puppy. This series utterly fails to build any tension. It wants to throw scary imagery at us without earning any of it. In horror like this, placing all of your cards on the table immediately is a mistake. In my mind, one of the greatest parts of analog is channeling nostalgia and the familiar, but using the strange and unusual to create an unsettling atmosphere, but its incredibly difficult to do this when your entire series is just a rehash of what has been said and done before in the genre. We've all seen the humanoid who sneaks into homes and violently kills people, or mimics them, the the photo shopped scary face with a smile, or the distorted old music ect. When on a limited budget, you can really do so much. A great way of getting around a small budget is showing whatever horrifying creature as little as possible, slowly building your atmosphere and the tension until you build up to an episode with an explosive and horrifying climax. Basswood just fucking shoots you in the face with 'spooky picture' and expects it to have any landing or sticking power without it actually earning the scare. Not to mention, the illustrations and videos just aren't particularly unique or scary by themselves, making the actual scares land even worse. What a waste.
Thank you for saying what apparently barely anyone else would. This series is just a long series of stolen ideas. Really a shame considering the production seems decent too. They could have done something so much more creative than this bowl of plain rice.

The best part about this type of horror is that it doesn't over-rely on earblasting you with jumpscares. It just straight up makes you feel unsafe.
Well done covering this! It is one of my favorites to get those uneasy vibes.
I hate what analog horror has become. None of it has that feeling of authenticity that Local 58 had in spades. It just became a weird, unrealistic template that doesn't work.
depends which series you watch, there's still some gems out there
Exactly. No way people are glazing this shitty series
i don’t know how it would compare to Local 58 but i just recently watched Dog Nightmares and it’s pretty damn good, i recommend it
@@PhantomCat-wm8dt Uh obviously they don't mean that no good analog horror is still being made, it's just oversaturated as a whole.
They’re all just trying to copy Mandela Catalogue. There’s very few unique and good ones. That’s why I love Vita Carnis, it’s insanely unique
22:32 as a tf2 player, i cannot listen to this music without imagining a spinning A posing heavy
just had a heart attack
I didnt even reach that part of the video and was reading the comments and I already know what it is.
Its crazy how this channel only has just under 100k, im so glad i found it because over all the cheap content , your videos are (unllike them) actually captivating and the delivery is great. I hope you succeed ❤❤
I mean the production value is nice and all, but it seems like a bit of a random mix of popular analog horror without much understanding for what makes it creepy.
The chamber especially feels so random, filled with completely nonsensical "creepy shit", and as good as the art is, its difficult to ignore the stock-VHS-overlay and Jerma face lol
Thank you! This series is not a “work of art” it’s a generic cheap show a scary face every 5 seconds analogue horror series.
2:57
What I find most unsettling about this, is not too long ago, the internet had all those “have you seen this face in your dreams?” images going around that were reminiscent of the figures on those “have you seen this face?” papers.
This was solid for 2 episodes before turning into the creator messing around because he could
It doesn't really have anything to offer other than being a recolor of Mandela Catalogue, the chamber is cool but the creator blew through it too quickly and any luster it would have is weak
So basically dark european Mandela Catalogue.
British Catalogue

resident evil ahh plot
“Are you still awake????” I was falling asleep but I am awake now, yes.
Analog horror creators ready to make the 732,804th “oooo spooky monster mimicking humans!!!!1!” Series (they won’t stop)
Exactly, this shit is so extremely corny
Whilst it's pretty good, it unfortunately really feels like a rehash of Mandela Catalogue. Even down to it's name. Mandela County, Basswood County. It's kind of blatant. I hope it creates it's own unique identity because so far it is nothing more than a reskin with potential.
fr, it feels like just a copy paste of mandela county lmao
Yeah, it just felt like the same story just without like religion as a part of it. :/
Prediction: the whole thing is scary face syndrome.
you are right
Feels like all args now are: creepy humanoid face, psa about what’s going on, and the word “anomaly”
Series is a bit derivative for me to really get into it. I mean, you even intuitively use the term "Alternate" to describe the mimic creatures.
I stopped being scared when you added the open the door or I’m gonna throw rocks
The guy who took the sewer shot is lucky as Hell to have been in a town with grated storm drains. Even then I don't think my heart would be able to pump blood after the shock of seeing this...thing
11:43 thats the sound I make when I miscalculate how hot my food is before shoving it into my mouth
the fact it appears to be teasing people somtimes or just taking there camera and showering there amutated arm is... very unnerving
I think I would enjoy this one a lot more if there was actually movement or people being filmed. The way it just cuts to an image every time after a filmed section makes it less immersive imo, although this is still very creepy and well-made. I prefer something like Vita Carnis, where you actually get to see these creatures move. It isn't bad by any means, I really do appreciate this one as creepy for sure.
I think it's mainly because this creator seems to lack a lot of resources. Still, he's honestly doing really well with the amount of stuff he has at his disposal. Am excited to see where this series goes.
@@southafrica331 Absolutely agree, and I totally get that, as well. I'm impressed with it regardless!!
always nice to see when you upload
"to show off his handy work" inserts patrick Booooo. that was golden thank you for that.
this has a lot in common with mandela catalogue...
-strange, twisted faces
-the generated whispers
-vhs style
-a lot of black and white contrast
i dunno...
i remember back when this series was so unknown…after watching it i couldn’t find it for months. that’s how underground it was
One of my favorite analog horror genres is EAS Scenarios for SCPs.
A good example is Alert World's "SCP-280 Eyes In The Dark" video. The simplified symbols of the horrific creatures really leaves a lot to the imagination, while the robotic voice-overs and "Remain calm in imminent danger" vibe really crank it up for me.
tbh ion think i'll ever grow tired of the EM broadcast system + human-like creatures combo, it's really the first horror style in a long time i've found genuinely interesting
This feels heavily inspired by the mandela catalogue
Creatures impersonating humans was something Mandela copied? Or made it more spooky?
honestly fun way 2 not fear analog horror monsters is to fantasize that you are making out with them.
THEY CANT HIDE FROM ME
wtf xd
the hooded figure in my corner IS lookin pretty fine tn ngllll
Ah yes best defense against analog horror monsters is meanest sloppy of all time
I don't know, just the thought of having any of those things that close to my face is pretty terrifying, in my opinion. But I won't stop you...
I’m getting serious Mandela catalog vibes
Yeah no shit
11:46 I am by no means saying this was a goofy susus amogus jumpscare but the fact that you called a spooky face in the dark being "horror at it's finest", I bursted out laughing
I'm sorry, but the music at 22:34 made me think of the spinning number station heavy. I am now laughing like a moron.
The artwork in this one is pretty creepy... But they need a better writer. "Location: A victim's home," and "It has been 11 murders until now" sounds like my 5th grade child wrote it.
Bro my exact irrational fear is seeing things staring at me around corners, its like this was made to fuck with me
Your voice is incredibly calming and i listen to your videos while drawing
9:06 I dead ass thought it was just some naked dude and you had to sensor it and thats what I conjured up
This series wears its inspirations on its sleeve, but i see it more as an homage than a copycat. It does tread the line of plagiarism. Evil beinga that steal your likeness? Where have I seen that? Humanoids that break into your house from another realm? Old VHS movies clips with a sinister twist? Police tapes? A detective character who ends up becomig a victim?
Where they really set themsleves apart is with the lore surrounding the Chamber. But unfortunately, they used way too many tropes. I guess they are limited by the genre. But in spite of that, I would call this series a success. A lot of work went into artistic design, and that alone is praise worthy.
Mentioned far too many things overrule its praise. You're praiaing too little with standards too low, this is hardly better than any other new analog horror which is doing the exact same tropes
tbh i went into the series thinking "yeah, it's late at night, but it's just gonna be a silly mandela catalogue clone haha" but then that shot of the creature looking into the window in alberson's tapes had me awake well past sunrise
But your not wrong in thinking it's a mandela catalogue copycat
Gettin close to the 100 k milestone keep it up my man
It’s Alfredo 😭
That silence at 17:00 made me get jumpscared by a cough that actually happened outside the video.
"Mum can we have Mandela catalog?"
"We have Mandela catalogue at home"
Holy frick just seeing the clips filled me with such dread. When your narration cut out to show one I had to cover the screen then back up 😭
camera men always the strongest until it comes to analog horror😭
As someone who gets easily freaked out by distorted faces, this one gets to me more than most horror stuff.
The Patrick booing moment over the ripped off arm had me howling 😂

I am shaking with excitement (and fear), cannot wait to experience this!
Edit: for what it’s worth, i laughed at the handiwork joke
5:15 The reason why it is more unsettling is that 4 is recognized by your brain as not human, while 5 is recognized by your brain as a mimicry, like a dangerous parasite puppeteering that human
That thumbnail can only be described with one word; uncomfortable
Love these videos, perfect thing to sleep to lol
i can't take it how the creator of this analog horror uses the most bizarre monsters just to frighten the viewers
Oh Look, it is the Mandela Catalogue faces and spooky music , AGAIN, Analog horror is truly getting the freddy fazzbear treatment
I'll probably watch the series because, for me, it teaches an important lesson: for a story, to not be original doesn't mean being bad.
Ah disagree. If someone tells the story better trying new ideas will spice things up.
I dont think this series does enough to distinguish itself. Ultimately came off as tired and bland with little of its own to actually say and do. On top of this I feel as if it does a poor job of building tension, and its frequent use of the 'scary monster' really just makes fall flat and feel unearned.
@@Waspinmymind honestly dude at the end of the day, theres no such thing as a new idea in story telling. just new combinations. if there are people out there who enjoy more of the same and want to make their own, they will make more of the same.
@@penntopaper9305 Yeah okay. You know what they mean. This is highly unoriginal and suffers from that fact more than it benefits.
@@defective.6192 honestly i feel like you shouldnt use live footage of somewhere and then just cut to an image of the same exact place at the same time but with a spooky monster edited in
it just doesnt make it scary, if you're going to do that just use photos instead of videos
I don't know why people don't like this one, this is one of my favourite analog horrors ever
7:06 how do people find stuff like that scary, its more goofy to me
23:31 Alien Parasite that pretends to look like people? THE THING?!
That face at 7:07 is some of the goofiest shit I've seen in an analog horror
Who tf is just standing in there hall watch the scariest creature just start at them
They either have a death wish or were frozen in fear
Good lord! The monster has long, thin limbs and is tall, with deformed facial features??? This is truly unprecedented!!
nah fr😭
My biggest takeaway is that younger zoomers see 0 difference between the 1940's and 2000's
live footage of the 1940s:
"sup babygirl"
"yeah wsp pookie wookie"
"wanna go back to my crib"
"yeah sure lets get 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂"
"This guy" is the creator, Dark Mind. Pretty sure it is him. He pops up constantly. He is image #5, he is the hands on the curtain, he is the "what does his face look like?" dude, he is also the guy in the ad who says he will catch up with you, and the eyes that open up around 23:17 and the victim in bed going through the transformation.
Early congrats on 100k💕
Your commentary and editing is sharp as always but for the series per se i think it was too all over the place, despite some pretty nice scenes, most of them just gave me the laughs instead of spooking me, like the "found footages"
Also the sudden glitches and out of nowhere creepy faces like some folks pointed out in the comments. But its not that bad, just an ok series.
What an incredibly bland and boring Analog horror. Hardly unique on its own, borrowing nearly all of its concepts from other series. No matter how many times you SAY its scary it cant actually MAKE it scary. You could tell me a puppy is frightening a million times, but at the end of the day its still a puppy. This series utterly fails to build any tension. It wants to throw scary imagery at us without earning any of it. In horror like this, placing all of your cards on the table immediately is a mistake. In my mind, one of the greatest parts of analog is channeling nostalgia and the familiar, but using the strange and unusual to create an unsettling atmosphere, but its incredibly difficult to do this when your entire series is just a rehash of what has been said and done before in the genre. We've all seen the humanoid who sneaks into homes and violently kills people, or mimics them, the the photo shopped scary face with a smile, or the distorted old music ect. When on a limited budget, you can really do so much. A great way of getting around a small budget is showing whatever horrifying creature as little as possible, slowly building your atmosphere and the tension until you build up to an episode with an explosive and horrifying climax. Basswood just fucking shoots you in the face with 'spooky picture' and expects it to have any landing or sticking power without it actually earning the scare. Not to mention, the illustrations and videos just aren't particularly unique or scary by themselves, making the actual scares land even worse. What a waste.
Thank you for saying what apparently barely anyone else would. This series is just a long series of stolen ideas. Really a shame considering the production seems decent too. They could have done something so much more creative than this bowl of plain rice.
