- Step into the pitch-black halls of the Abandoned Sears, a classic example of a Garry's Mod horror map. Yes, that means loud jump scares, so be warned.

What if there was a map that had png jump scares and all of that in like the first quarter of the map, and then it eventually devolved into a genuinely horrifying map
This would actually be pretty unique! Like, it starts with your typical gmod horror map plot, (Exploring old building, waking up in the building, etc) and slowly but surely, the quality of the game increases, starting with jeff the killer png scares, to shadow player model scares to actually good scares.
@@Yearny_Mage the classic jeff the killer png running at you

Basically the idea of Spooky Houses of Jumpscares
It’s odd how this map both had good and cheap scares, its really nothing short of being rather peculiar
Just like a Sears!
Honestly, even before they all shut down, Sears was always a really weird space.
The one that was in the mall near me didn't have a strange setup, I don't think... but where the elevators were was kind of odd. You'd have to go into a hallway by the bathrooms to get to it, and all sound from outside just got drowned out while you were waiting. the first floor didn't have anything especially impressive back there, but the upstairs component had an office area behind a glass window when you'd step off of the elevator. The lights in there were never on (that I can personally remember), and the glow from the hallways lights on the waiting room chairs always spurred something in my young mind.
The rest of the store was "creepy and comfy" in the sense that it was very quiet with only the soft music playing over the PA system, and familiar as I'd been there dozens of times before. It was never really crowded, even on holidays, so you could be in a section all by yourself for nearly an hour.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I could be confusing the store with JC Penney. Whoops! Either way, the feeling is the same. These department stores have been there since before I was born, and feel like what could be considered a "vacation home", if that makes sense.
While I'm horrible with scary games in any capacity (I get scared at Minecraft!), your videos are wonderful to listen to. Your voice is calming, and makes it easier to take in the ambiance without my anxiety getting super wired up. Personally, I think you'd be a perfect choice for reading books to us with a soft rain in the background! (wink wink nudge nudge)
Whatever the case, thank you for the video, Mr. Librarian! Always a treat coming from you. :D
yeah, the one in my town was the same. you ever remember how damn creepy that long hallway was to the bathrooms? if anything would make me think a place was haunted it was sears. hardly anybody was there.
I actually remember a Sears I went to in Canada that had all of the clothing racks disorganized in some kind of maze, with clothes behind stacked together so much it blocked pathways and navigating was incredibly difficult. I ended up getting lost trying to find my family and nearly went insane thinking they had forgotten about me and left me behind. Just as I was about to completely lose my mind, I found my grandma looking for some clothes to buy.
yeah there was a sears near where I lived (fredricton, new brunswick) at the regent mall, it shut down in like 2016 and I only went there a few times, but that ambiance of it was definitely scary, don't know if sygneg and I went to the same sears but it from what I remembered was pretty hard to get to, it was around back of the mall and barely any cars were at the parking lot for the sears. When it shut down instead of keeping the sign they took it down. Even though you're still able to see the slightly dryer area saying "sears"
and incase you're wondering it was in Canada, at new brunswick's capital
@@LocalToaster. Oh cool.
The Sears I went to was in a row of big box sore, sort of like some kind of giant strip mall. If I remember correctly, it was located on the edge of the city, as if it was in the middle of nowhere. Also, the Sears I went to was located in I think Missasauga or Brampton.
Sears were always incredibly cold, no matter when in the year it is.
most of the jumpscares.

The necromorph is actually Paranoia from slender fortress.
29:47 I jumped and immediately started to burst out laughing because of that walk cycle.

Such a cheap jumpscare at 13:31. My expectations from this map went downhill after that moment.
Same
Well, as expected map is mediocre at best
Same. Jumpscares are the absolute lowest form of horror. Like, good job you startled me. Now how about doing something actually scary instead.
@@StalwartTirith Jumpscares can be done well if they are earned and creative. This was literally just loud noises and pngs which is so unbelievably lazy that it's hard to believe this map wasn't made as a joke.
Yup, I wasn't scared at all from that point onward. At first I was really creeped out from the ominous feel of the darkness, but a stretched png slapped into a 3D space is hilarious, not scary. Ever since that maze from like 2005 these things haven't been scary
Edit: Lmao they used that exact maze scare, and also Jeff the killer. And the final bang scare was broken. The librarian made it very entertaining though, he was so interested at first and then his expectations took a similar dive
They set up that monster with the photo so interestingly, but then showed it for two seconds as it did nothing, and then the rest was a bunch of old stock images. Utterly glorious, a true masterpiece 10/10
Jumpscares always are annoying in this format. I wish that people would do it clever way if they really want to include some.
Say you walk a dark corridor, you hear a weird sound, then another after a while making you uneasy, then third time, much stronger and closer, you get anxious and then make something move really fast down the hallway right towards you, but instead of a screamer, have absolutely no sound and if you aim to have sound to indicate it, let it be an eerie one, almost like a breeze. I often find that scares that are easy to miss on first glance are the most shocking because you can't explain them.
While the ones right in your face tend to just give you heart attack and curse right after, but nothing else.
In the end tho, enjoyed this one again! Thank ya ^^
i feel like it would also work if there was just a thing in the distance screaming far away, you see it running towards you and as you try to escape its gone giving you the uncertainty wether its just a haluzination or someone else being in the same area, maybe with like a vent nearby that is open in a sideroom making you think if it was real or not like, anything but the cheap jpeg like, it works but its meh
Jumpscare about those jumpscare they do scared me but it small scared for me i just do't care about dark
@@agussenpai9087 yeah they do make one jump but are a bit uncreative and not memorable usually besides the classics
@@enderlp9666 Absolutely agreed.
I want to see a map where one of the scares is like that motion sensor clip where the ghost just quickly and silently ↪ towards the camera then back down the hall just barely getting into the flashlight, almost begging the player to follow it.
11:31 the magic bus episode where they teach you about sound reverberation.
uh i well watch that later
23:43
There was a Minecraft horror map that I played in like 2013 that had a link at the end.
It took you to a site that had the name of the map as it's URL and it was just a max-volume browser flashing jumpscare of jeff the killer.
I was less scared of the image, more scared that in the dark room I was in I was blinded because of the flahses and my ears were ringing.
As well as it woke my mom.
What was the map?
@@Danhanado Maybe "Herobrine" since the herobrine website leads to a jumpscare (not a Jeff one however, last time I checked in 2018). There was also an Agorio website, which indeed led to a Jeff jumpscare, however that was in 2015. As for the map, that could have been literally anything.
Remember kids, as soon as you have to break something to get in, it’s no longer urban exploring. It’s breaking and entering 🤣😉
How do u go utban exploring
Infact, doing that will make it even harder for people to go urban exploring
@@boomessy you find an abandoned place to explore, just make sure you don't touch anything or break any doors down, as an urban explorer I watch has said, only leave your footprints
Exploring an emptied-out, closing SEARS store sounds awesome. Roaming around the one in our local mall as it was thinning-out was wild, having spent many hours there over the years since childhood.
This will happen at one point, I just know it: The librarian explores a horror map in vr, there's a chase scene, he is so petrified that he actually starts running and he runs right into his walls.
Is better to have Silent Hill type of sounds like grunting or screaming that you cant see but it makes you question and say "Oh boy i dont want to encounter whatever is making that sound." thats better than jumpscares and easy to make because it just sounds.
JUMPSCARE AAAAAAA
really reminds me of cry of fear, especially the level where you have to navigate through a place while an mp3 file of a chainsaw and opening doors plays, there is no actual danger, but you'd think that there is, because of the sounds
@@OsnoloVrach That thing scared the shit out of me on my second playthrough
IRL urbex has lots of those moments too. Weird sounds that could be the building shifting or an animal but your mind fills in the gaps... footstep like noises that could be nothing or another person you never see... There are realistic ways to make it creepy without the jumpscares. As he says in this video "it's really easy to scare yourself."
Building tension, though it doesn't have the initial burst of scare that a jumpscare has, doesn't fall flat after 1 time
24:59. That's kinda infuriating since I actually liked that scare. Basically it's a hulking beast coming down the corridor.
29:47 I love the timing of the words lol
OMG when you mentioned that episode about the haunted house Magic Schoolbus episode, it brought back some spooky memories. The music and the singing from Mrs. Frizzle always creeped me out as a kid lmao
Same, a few weeks ago I remembered that episode existed and how spooky it was, It was a real surprise when he mentioned it
I always liked that episode. It's cool how they used a sound lesson for a Halloween special.
I want a Horror Comedy map, a good bit of Horror but with some truly Absurd stuff to be comedic. Like that monster in the Industrial Laundry Area from this map doing weird walks next to you through glass or appearing suddenly while ridding on a unicycle backwards through a hallway, but also genuinely scary and creepy moments too.
This is just Spooky's House of Jumpscares.
Imagine finding the monster fucking fortnite dancing for no reason
Not sure you can really make that scary without desensitizing the horror with comedy.
Jumpscare JPEGs are the lowest form of "horror". But I guess designing a very creepy space took all of the creator's muse.
Good horror toys with the player's/audience's imagination. A whisper from behind the player. A foot disappearing just out of view of a turning flashlight. Eyes in the darkness visible for only a moment. Your monster is infinitely more horrifying when the player/audience can only see parts of them.
You know what's weird? My mom and were just talking about Sears today. You got some spooky timing, Mr. The Librarian.
some other people in the world was probably also talking about sears too
"Something is wrong with that place" Yeah, no shit, invisible doors are like quite paranormal.
24:54 I half expected Michael Myers to turn the corner and attack you due to that Halloween music score
Got an idea for a future video, explore a map focused on thalassophobia, and what i mean is less “Just ocean map” and more, deep sea underwater facility or something similar. Hell if you find a detailed underwater map, se if theres a nice submarine mod to, like one of those science pods they used to explore the Mariana trench
oceangate mod
First jumpscare is a goofy static image with loud music over it. Good job map creator, you took an interesting idea and map and made an utterly bland and boring jumpscare-filled map.
I'm glad for exploration maps like shambles and abandoned metro now. They have no jumpscares, but they're so much scarier than an actual horror map
@@royalblanket abandoned metro does have jumpscares btw
it's good
At 10:24, it appears as though the black void became a new room, and after entering the new room, the old room becomes black void. This happens because this door way uses area portals, a custom type of source engine brush that hides and load parts of the map to save on resources. The explanation is that there is a missing door model in that location and soon interacting with it, it triggers the area portal to turn off and allow you to see through it. And when the door closes on its own, the area portal reactivates removing the ability to see through it.
Progression can be exploration, but exploration isn’t always progression
I found your channel a week and a half ago and it has quickly become my favorite. This place has become a comfort and safe haven away from the anxieties and stress of the world and I couldn't be any more grateful for the time and effort you spend on these videos. Thank you for helping me destress and feel comfy. Keep up the absolutely wonderful work :)
Sears was a liminal space even when it was in business.
I just remember empty departments, empty registers, and the occasional sudden appearance of employees when you least expect them.
There was a Sears near my home when I was younger. It was a giant building surrounded by parking lot. It was always empty (except for a few cars to show people actually worked there) The weirdest part about the store was that it had an escalator to go into the basement. The basement was mostly electronics and hardware, but it was always so empty and claustrophobic in there that I dreaded going; it was pretty much a maze with small corridors. And that's not to mention how dark it was down there. I'd say about half of the basement was ever lit, while the other half had to rely on the light from the tvs in the eletronics department. As creepy and secluded it was, I somewhat miss it.
Damn
Librarian: "It's bottom of the barrel horror to use jpegs in gmod maps"
Also Librarian: *shits pants while holding gas can*
when 2D textures flicker like that its called z fighting its where 2 layers share the same space and each is being rendered simultaneously causing them to look like they're flickering
God dang man, I'm sick rn and you're commentary halfway through got so funny, it was honest agony laughing, when it hurts to laugh
You’re really churning these out!! Don’t overexert yourself though. Love the content as always. These maps you explore give me inspiration for my own maps.
I used to think that ambient noises were more scary, but after this video I think you’re right. There’s definitely something bone chilling about there being dead silent, and then suddenly there’s not
No way I could ever play this, I already struggle enough with regular horror games. In a way it's a shame cause there's so much polished VR horror stuff out there. Especially living alone having the headset on your face makes it extra creepy because of how vulnerable you are
I don’t normally watch jumpscare/horror stuff but the way you present it makes it irresistible and very interesting
A Pro Tuber thing would be to mention in passing watching an episode of a kids' show that never existed and subtly start building the channel lore and meta-narrative.
This map is based on a real sears that shut down. It was apparently one of their larger stores and there was always something creepy about the way it just stood there. Like if enter those doors, you enter a different reality.
Really can't wait until S&Box brings Source 2 creation that's VR ready.
I gotta say that not only was finding this video an excellent introduction to this channel you got but the memory of that magic school bus episode floating back to me was quite a surprise.
god i love this channel, been addicted to it for the last 2 weeks lmao, keep up the awesome vids bud!
What makes myself feel different on this Exploration is that the Department Store is closed but something was left over here during it's operating days like 1970s CRT TV's and even the Boxes, Crates and Jerry can. This feels you we're doing a progression to complete the map itself that you need to make your way go out, but first you need the following steps to do it like finding stuffs to make operating mechanisms work and make your way into different side of the area. There could be like a Liminality of the surroundings but there we're no broken Flourescent lamps in the ceilings. Lastly, Jumpscares can make you feel really creeped out but there are some ocassions of being disappointed at some time
Thank you for this video Lib.
i only recently discovered this channel and i have watched like all of your videos back to back like a marathon keep up the impeccable content my man
was incredibly intrigued then put off immensely by the JPEG jumpscares, booo!
I don't know about the company Sears but it's still weird to think it closed and became another one of those most scariest places to explore thing. Just makes you feel weird how it became what it is now.
11:35 High-dee High-dee High-dee High. Low-dee Low-dee Low-dee Low
Amazing that episode is still welded into my mind 25 years later.
just when i needed some of the best content
keep up the good work bro
Thank you for your really good content, i love to watch your videos, especially on the night time. I've yet meet no man who can describe things so well and interesting like you.You're the best. Best of the best!
17:44 Christ, it doesn't matter where I hear it, the Half-Life 2 radio music always makes me nervous.
yep that is very true it just haunts me... forever
I freakin love his chill and subtle voice
Liked. Subscribed. Notifiction button'd. This is exactly what I needed right now, so thank you.
cmon this channel is so underrated u deserve way more subscribers keep up the great work!
29:47 I love how he runs.
How does he run?
How does he run?
@@agussenpai9087 Lovably.
Sears used to be a really good brand and store, they made their own little tractors, firearms, and more! now....its all gone.
guns?
huh
@@usecoperator6357 they made their own line of 12 gauges in the 80s ahahaha
HSF in Texas used to make their shit lol
The Librarian your videos are so good, I hope you get more popular in the future and I'll be there seeing you grow
Flash lights? Not a problem! Jump scares? Big problem! Let's watch it!
This map is something that only the SCP Foundation would be crazy enough to explore...
You should probably cull your addons list and validate your game files with all these disappearing models, it’s really killing the immersion.
I love listening to you talk.
why dont you have more subs?? You're hilarious and Iv'e been binge watching your gmod videos. They're awesome!! keep up the good work bro 😁
I always liked Sears. A little pricey, but it fit neatly into the space between a hardware store and housewares store. The one in my town tried to rebrand itself as "Sears Hometown" before eventually shutting down entirely. Now it is a decor and housewares store.
:D new video! Love your stuff man! Thanks!
Well, about the beginning where you talked about the entryway, the board stated that its a "mall", and I've been to at least one mall that has entryways like that, where they are kind of narrow and then open up to large rooms not too far in.
i saw you uploaded and instantly clicked on the video this is my favorite channel so far
Bit late, but you're pretty much bang on with old tube TV's being more or less 480i. Sometimes really old crummy ones might just be 320 lines tall and drop a few lines here and there.
I do love me some crispy low-res interlaced signals lol
bro, around 13:31 I got scared with you, nearly screamed. At least I'm not the only one.
Damn, this actually seemed like a really cool map before the jpeg jumpscares started happening. You would think after nearly 2 decades of HL2 release that map makers would realize it does nothing but hurt their map when they do shit like that.
it's fun
big fan love ur videos and this one man this one was something else
3:22 I like how the poster looks like it's also saying "stop" instead of store, really adds a creepy detail even if it isn't intentional
I never seen any abandoned malls in my country somehow, but this one that i seen on my dream could be more mysterious. I was alone but lights are on, no one is around, really like Gm_mallparking vibes and even total silence, i don't even know what's going on that time. Good news i finally got GMOD again, if you can recall me I'm that AsianRaine on Lib's Discord Server.
Huh that's neat.
So I noticed that throughout this map the creator uses alot of HL2 Beta assets and looking up their steam profile they actually made gm Wasteland Route which was a map I was very fond of and got featured on Radation Hazard's channel for his HL2 Beta mapping competition. Cool how this all tied together.
Your commentary is godly
I like your videos KEEP IT UP PLEASE!
Hey. Your videos are very calm, informative, and enjoyable to watch. I was the creator of gm_hide which you've played. There is now a gm_hide_staticbound, but it is very tough to complete. I apologize my maps have been a bit crazy and way too energetic, as I really enjoy your patience to appreciation for every detail in the maps. Your videos have a bob ross feel to them, and even as a map maker, I am really enjoying the content. Keep up the beautiful work, and I can't wait to see you try some maps I plan on making in the future!
i love this channel.
The Muesum of Sound! I had that episode on VHS as a kid lol
if i ever entered a abandoned sears, I would make sure taking my trusty shotgun with me
to fight the 2d jumpscares?
@@foodistzen Yes.
I am unsure why the creator utilized PNG images, when they clearly knew how to use 3d models that fit the environment and are much more startling than static pngs. Still a cool map none the less though, I personally think it's pretty cool.
3:45 "And of course, I'm sure food just occasionally wanders in..." *Slowly turns around*
Did you ever find out if the doors were borked from missing textures? Maybe it was an intentional psychological way to mess with players. Or maybe the map was just unfinished.
You are my favourite person on TH-cam right now.
Very interesting. Thanks.
I love your videos :)
Even scarier: it becomes an amazon warehouse
Anyone else think The Librarian sounds a lot like ReviewBrah TheReportOfTheWeek? It’s a compliment. Love both channels.
I expected this map to be set at sears during blackfriday, and your the only employee that showed up to work.
i have been waiting for this map
I'd love to see you play Killer Frequency. It's a really spooky radio based horror game in the same vein as 'Do you copy'.
An abandoned Sears gmod map? Finally realistic horror maps 😂
help can't ENTER THE DISCORD
discord does not recognize certain phone numbers
please FIX
by changing restrictions
18:00 i enjoy the radio noise because its actually an asset from half life, most likely my favorite audio asset because i used to scare my friends with it
Sears went from being a store called Sears to an abandoned store called Ears.
The creepy sounds on the magic school bus was pretty cool imo xD
I’d love to see these unsettling maps played with friends
Oh nice, they put my local Sears into VR!
I remember when our local mall had a SEARS. It was the first time I ever used an escalator! I used to love going to it and Kay’s Merchandise.
In all of your other videos you kept talking about this map and now I know why
I’m much more of a haunted Macy’s guy myself, but this works.
I don't remember where I first heard this, but someone who relies on jumpscares to scare people, is like a comedian getting someone to laugh by tickling them
try "horror the accident" if you haven't already, it looks good
4:47 if that was real life i would run out and board up the doors more than before
You got some balls playing this in VR
