i love how casually he just says "When the park sirens go off, it's time to run for your lives!"
It would make a great movie or game adaptation not sure how long the timers would be for sirens though an hour? 20 minutes? Like hide and seek and you can hear the puppets say “ready or not here I come!” And “peek a boo” they run and walk with knives and other weapons trying to hunt everyone down. When the lights go off and the sirens go on it’s time to run for your fucking life!
@@Revo2EvoI would take my inspiration from the silent hill games, except it would be a chime, maybe the last few notes from Ring Around the Rosie so you have to be listening or they gotcha! And then when you made it a certain distance they'd go friendly and you could start investigating or looking for the nearest safe house.
@@Revo2Evo They wouldn't hunt you with weapons, imo. The end goal is to turn you into one of them, not dismember or kill you. BUT, who knows?
Yep lol.
That is more or less the manner in which AI chat handles when you tell it to advertise something that should be horrifying but in an advertising way lol
This sounds like a excellent idea for a video game especially if the sirens go off at random times.
Yes
Was just about to post this. Would make for a cool battle royal type game where it stats with 100 players and then the sirens go off and big and small AI puppets start chasing people and turning them into more puppets, and then the players turned into puppets can also go hunt down players until 1 person remains and they have to escape the park. Maybe add objectives for the regular players to try and accomplish like repair things so they can get gates open or something like that.
The ai makes the puppets look super weird and scary as their eyes move really around instead of acting creepy sitting down on a shelf or something they look around even if this is AI, I think that would be a good idea
@@rygar8bit2 just like I was saying it would be cool if the puppets warped there face as with tiny mini bosses like those giant puppets you see and then a final puppet boss
I’d love the idea of it being a horror game, especially if there were some puppets who managed to resist the sirens and would actually protect people too. I think it would be cool if you had to either run from all puppets, or get lucky and find a friendly puppet to protect you from the hoard. Maybe there would be objectives inbetween siren blares where you would have to mess around with wires in back rooms to hopefully turn the sirens off for good, or repairing broken machines that could give you a boost in the case the sirens go off
"Our colossal Howdy-Doody-type puppets roam freely" is just a perfectly written sentence.
I love how the weird AI animation makes everything morph and shift into even creepier images to give it that delightfully unsettling feeling that everything is just _off._
Perfect use of the medium, in my humble opinion.
It’s absolutely disgusting watching this shit morph before your eyes into vaguely recognizable shapes.
I like how this isn’t cursed or corrupted. They outright tell you things are messed up
Nah it's pretty cursed
It's better for the lawsuits 😂
A clever subversion of expectations.
If cigarette and alcohol ads were honest:
"Don't let the fear deter you."
Now THIS is how you use AI. Not to replace human imagination, but to enhance it. This would make an awesome first episode of an analog horror series.
Edit: Didn’t mean to turn the reply section into a political debate. AI is good for inspiration, but don’t rely on it entirely.
Even if this is AI it makes them way more creepier the way they slowly Wharp two different shapes and their eyes and mouth just move weirdly like they’re trying to form a human conversation
I agree. It would make a great horror game.
Already is it’s called five nights at Freddy’s
@@ironhell813this AINT FNAF LIL BRO!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😭
Hey! Sorry, but I WILL use it to replace human imagination.
“Stay on your toes, because if they catch you, you might just become one of them forever.”
Chills
Nothing brings a family together more than the shared trauma that you survived while other loved ones did not.
U say it like a joke, but it's true
@@justsayin._. No it isn't. That tends to break families up - not bring them together.
This is what nightmares looked like in the '50s.
And 60s and probably 70s as well. I’d like to imagine that the park remained open for long enough to have been popular with both Baby Boomers and Generation X children, but eventually closing its doors for good sometime in the mid-80s, and fading into obscurity by the turn of the millennium. That being said, no one knows how long it would have taken for the mainstream people to catch on, so I’d say 50s to 70s sounds plausible for the length of the park’s existence.
@@user-nl3xw4gg7m And they try to bring it back as a horror attraction years later
Honestly most of my dreams in my childhood where in the same quality as old VHS tapes so I wouldn't even be surprised if people in the 50s actually had dreams in black and white.
@@triplecrosscounter They did. There has been studies with people who grew up in the time period.
it’s 2000’s nightmares because these puppets are in my dreams
Imagine being on top of a ferris wheel and the siren goes off. You don't really understand whats going on since it's your first time there. Then you look down.
Some puppets are just standing there, looking up at you. Like they're waiting for the ferris wheel to deliver you to them.
I would probably shit my pants
If you look closely I think you'll find that the eldritch thing that looks like a ferris wheel isn't actually a ferris wheel.
@@TheEddieStilsonI would probably also shit your pants 😔😓
How cute of you to assume that they won't have the drive to climb up the wheel to get to you.
And then they start crawling up the Ferris wheel, on their way to you.
This is genuinely scarier than any horror film I have seen in the past ten years.
Its better than any film or any video I've seen in 30 years..except a few other AI films that are equaly amazing, I'm way sold on AI films..they feel like classic films when the producers/directors were actually talented not just film school graduates.
1:17 did bro long jump?
dude played a lot of sm64 before he got transformed
@luisp.3788 nah this is just some weird rom hack
He said /e sit
@@MochiWrath yes
Becoming a puppet gives you super mario moves, I think?
"Quite literally, we've had countless customers confess that they've never felt so... *attached* ..."
Damn, that's good writing
That settles it, this park needs to go
Wait let me just go get my flamethrower real quick
@@Joshua429 How about we send in the nukes?
The timing on that was ominous
It's not really as creative as you think. A play on words is something a first grader can learn.
It's terrifying how GOOD it's getting compared to the last few times people did stuff like this. I mean the humans are actually looking...like PEOPLE.
Fr. I saw a lot of appropriately-fingered hands; Im impressed.
Ya
puppet ppl ...indeed
Besides the occasional weird face morphing, these people are starting to look TOO real. Soon you'll be wondering if it's even an AI video or if it's real with AI added to certain parts.
Are you guys like blind or something?
"Dont let that frighten you, it's all in the spirit of fun"
Ecks dee
This would have made an excellent plot for an episode of the "Twilight Zone". I can picture Rod Serling saying " A wonderful park filled with happy puppets... But woe to anyone who enters, for they will cross into the twilight zone..."
It’s downright brilliant how the uncanny feel of the ai generation works perfectly for this video.
Obviously, Pooky Park is located somewhere in Uncanny Valley!
Boy are you right.Its so well done.It almost makes you think it's a real 1950s commercial.
WHY does AI go so well with the 40's and 50's periods?? I'm 32 and have always loved the "old days", including the fashion, music, and slang. AI and vintage things almost go too well together.
I agree, this is disturbingly brilliant!
Its the hidden sense of unease in something that's trying to sell itself as warm and familiar
The 50s esp- the height of the propaganda machine selling the USA American nuclear family capitalist dream amidst the red scare and cold war.
Our logical brains go "nothing seems amiss, all is well!"
But our hind brain can sense something is wrong...we just can't quite put ou finger on it r@@StrangeScaryNewEngland
U know what's scarier than Pooky Park? The fact that we all just sat here for 3 minutes entertained by an entirely AI video. Now that's scary.
Not an entirely AI video this guy had to feed it a very specific prompt and string together a bunch of images to make this work
No Pooky Park is definitely scarier
@@andrewtarquinio6788 Pooky Park is just pixels on a screen. AI will lead to the eventual downfall of humanity imo.
Indeed, but it was the creativity of the human that put it togehter and wrote the story (hopefully!)
If anyone was actually entertained by this broken trash then I feel sorry for them
Using ai for an uncanny valley effect is actually genius
"Just look at the joy on their faces!" -- the comic timing was most excellent here!
What scares me the most is the possibility of being on a ride when the siren goes off because you literally can't escape
Stay on your toes.
If you were on the carousel or any other ride without seatbelts, then you could easily get off.
@@Aquarius199 How about we use some context clues. Do you think the commenter is stupid? Do you think the commenter does not know that you can get off of a ride without seatbelts? If so, why do you think that? Superiority complex?
@@GregLemons I never said the commenter was stupid.
@@Aquarius199 Which means they aren't talking about those rides, they are talking about the ones where you can not do that.
never take a gray pill from a old man
it'll make you see a 1950s commerical.
which is this video
yep

This feels like watching a dream. Within a few years, there will be technology for viewing your dreams, and the earliest versions will probably be similar in style to this video.
You know when you try to move fast or run in dreams? It's exactly like this video
Literally just had that happen in a dream the other night. Saw someone who I thought was my sister kissing not her husband in a hotel elevator. as I tried to run around the corner to hide and watch them come out, it was like I was trying to run through molasses. Why does that happen in dreams? 😅
Imagine if there was a pooky park in your city and all of the citizens are puppets
I imagine you don't get to leave the park if you turn into a puppet, if you could it would be immediately shut down and the government would probably send the troopd
@@nuclearstuff9442 Maybe it could be a SCP Foundation thing since they were actually founded in the 1950s in universe.
It would be an improvement.
napalm exists in the 1950s right

Imagine a puppet sitting with you at a table and you hear the siren go off.💀
Edit: Thank you guys for liking this comment so much! 😊
I would bring my French fries with me
POV: You are at Pooky Park and your sitting at a table with a puppet mascot when you hear the siren go off ☠️
Plot twist: If you catch them before they catch you they become human
Well...looks like they get a new puppet pal 🫠
@@This_handle I just picture someone snagging their fries and absolutely legging it 😭
This is really, REALLY great. It's creepy as hell, yes, but it also achieves the feat of bringing a fantastical concept to life in a very believable way. The narration, the music, the elements of the footage that don't involve the puppets, everything is absolutely top-notch. This is the kind of thing that only the best Creepypastas spawn from, the kind of thing that short films and indie video games are made of. Seriously, excellent job.
"just look at the joy on their faces"
this idea is better than a lot of horror movie plots from the past few years
I'm surprised Rod Serling didn't write it. Though I'm not familiar with all of his work.
💯 Creepy
This idea is eerily similar to the Attack on Titan anime series
THIS is what horror movies are supposed to be, not some psycho torturing people as punishment (Saw series).
I love how at 0:18, it looks like the AI tried to spell Howdy Doody, but gave up midway through
It's howdy doody's simpleton cousin, howdy dodo.
@@danielm8950 howdy doodoo? that’s not very nice of you
Howuv Lodo
Simply put, this was extremely eerie. Well done.
At 2:28 I love how the eyes of the woman in the bushes are blinking separately.
You've done it. You've somehow developed an entirely new sub-genre of horror films.
And no, I'm not talking about the "evil puppets turn you into puppets" plot.
Yeah.
The terror of AI-generated footage with its many, many glaring surreal sights of things and characters constantly deforming and distorting in incomprehensible ways that would baffle even the most talented minds in surreal art. As the tech advances, it'll be less noticeable...and that in itself is terrifying, as it'll inevitably be used for nefarious purposes to make fake footage to frame somebody into getting cancelled or straight-up arrested with practically no way to prove otherwise.
@@RoseSupreme that won't happen because the public is aware that these things are possible. What it will do is obscure the truth. There could be a legitimate video of a crime that the person can deny by saying that they are being framed with AI generated video. another year or two and there will be no way to tell truth from fiction. Then we are in George Orwell country.
@@RoseSupreme i believe what u described is called "Deepfake". there was a pornstar that used deepfake to put daisy ridley's face on her own body. deepfake was only used for the face, but now ai is getting advanced to the point where it can be the entire body. as long as ai has footage to work off of, it can replicate and recreate real people's actions and bodies.
@@noellquarts435it tries to and yes its getting better but it still mess the hands up
Even seeing glitchy AI/CGI in older film formats is captivating. It would be cool to make movies from old dystopian and horror novels using the film technology which was available at that time they were written
The uncannily smooth movement and morphing of the puppets scares me deeply. This is terrifying
Bro same, the way the puppet morphs at 1:56 is fucking creepy as hell, straight up triggers a fight or flight reaction in me
@@robertpaulson2946 this one also scares me a lot 2:04
🙄
The one sitting at the table with the people weirded me right out, like it's gasping for breath but still smiling 😬
i cant help but burst into laughter every time the narrator nonchalantly says "be ready. because when the park sirens go off it's time to run for your lives."
like it's not just scary it's hilarious.
"just one video before bed"
The video:
I don't know how to describe this. It feels like watching someone's nightmare about a mix between Howdy Doody and Attack on Titan.
The really scary part is how Pooky Park always seems to have droves of visitors who had to have known about the sirens and what happens when they sound.
After about three weeks, who would go?
Like the commercial says, “they’ve never felt more… attached”. Has to be some kind of spell over the town, like in IT.
@@shleepy... and well, if your family members are puppets. may both be the simple desire to be with them still and to figure out what it means for them and, more deeply, perhaps a self-destructive desire to find out for yourself what it would mean for you.
"quite literally, we've had countless customers confess that they've never felt so... Attached".
This might be the most unsettling line in this video.
OH MY GOSH! I just went to a punk rock concert and they had a projector playing this in the background, I was wondering what I was looking at 😂
Whether you're just walking around the place with your family, being on a ride, or sitting down relaxing having an ice cream, you just never know when that siren is going to go off, it could happen at any moment.
1:51 is kinda spooky, its like the puppet is starting to smile when the siren went off
Imagine traveling back in time and showing this to someone from the 1950s.
They'd either think you're an alien or you got actual footage of Hell
"Now Mr, I'd love to belive whatever monstrosity it is you're showing me.
But ever since you appeared in my living room completely naked.
It is hard to belive you."

@@humannotcat1622Remember that Jeff Foxworthy bit, "You might be a communist"?? Fun times.
Giant shape-shifting puppets chasing you to the sound of an air-raid siren... Brilliantly horrific.
This may literally give me nightmares
Honestly, with what I've heard about how little people cared about safety in the 50s, I wouldn't be surprised if something like this (but without the obvious transform into a puppet stuff) actually existed at one point in some generic 50s suburb.
Oh Yeah, Cars Without Seatbelts Until 1963, Still I Would Drive The Hell Out Of A 1958 Oldsmobile.
It's because back then people were smart enough to not need to be nannyed
So just men in costumes chasing you 💀

0:45 literally how running in a nightmare looks
2:14 that guy on the right looks creepy af
Everyone seems to be dwelling on the "attached" line but I'm mostly focused on the fact that attendees seem compelled to return if they survive. Once you enter, you're cursed or something.
Well... It might not have to be an actual curse for the attendees. The ad says it bring *families* closer together. I mean maybe a portion of them would be returning to try to spend time with and try to help relatives who are stuck there. I mean, imagine a parent going back because their kid can't leave, a kid trying to process that a parent is stuck there, a kid who blames themself for not stopping to help their sibling get to safety, or in a different situation where a kid feels they distracted or slowed their sibling or a parent causing them to get caught.
@@__jonbud______________________ This is sound reasoning. The theory is *most* the time the puppets are harmless and probably interact enthusiastically with their family, making it a fond experience. *mostly*
Maybe the parents are just very depressed suburbanites tired of going through strife (great depression, ww2, etc.)
Maybe it’s all three theories,
To see old family members
This is maybe the closest think to being in a dream state as you was watching a B&W tv set in the room alone seeing this nightmare.
Should be an internet Emmy for script writing.
Somebody needs to make a movie out of this!
Man the owner of the park really was like “let’s make the worst idea ever”
"One that can potentially get a lot of people hurt! Sure, that'll make a good buck!"
-Some corporate asshole
Well... At least the puppets aren't holding you down and shitting in your mouth. That would make any bad situation even worse I would imagine.
Nah Disney has them beat worst idea ever wise
@@TheEeefs Please explain.
2:41 THE CHILD NOOOOOOOOOOO
I demand a Mascot Horror videogame based on this!
This is the quintessential idea of a child's nightmare.
Somehow the AI’s inability to keep 100% consistency actually kind of works to its favour here. I’m not a fan of AI, but the prospect of seeing footage constantly warping to have features be warped or outright removed before being found again or even being replaced makes this commercial seem more like a fever dream gone bad. It’s strangely appealing...
This comment perfectly summarizes my thoughts too
AI should = tool not replacement.
2:04 a kid trips and dies
1:26 I love how the guys are all wearing high heels.
This makes me feel ungrounded. The uncanny warping that your eye can't quite track is unerving. I wonder if AI will get to a point where it could make a visual that would cause psycosis in any human?
This is next-level nightmare fuel. Fantastic job!!! I can't believe how few subscribers, views, and likes this video has. I'll be proud to say, "I was there when..." Thanks for putting this together!
Hey I wen there a couple years ago! I lost my Grandpa to those puppets, but it was still a great time!
Bro....that place is cursed...
Norm MacDonald: "I found your Grandpa....."
I went there too i turned myself into a puppet on purpose as a last ditch effort to deal with my stage 4 testicular cancer. It actually worked my nuts are clean right now and I only have to massage them with tree resin twice a week. Yesterday I turned a 3 yo and his momma into a puppet
@@santasangre996A heartwarming success story that's wholesome af
I used to go to this place. The first time we went we had two kids, but sadly we lost herbert. Oh well, he shouldve ran faster. Now we go every 6 months to visit him, and relive the fun
Dont.

AI really captures that feeling of running in a dream where you run but don't move
1:57 Dayum that freaked me out 🫣
Not even death may free you from eternal wooden whimsy.
😱
I'd like to buy whatever AI came up with the phrase "wooden whimsy" a drink.
This should be a movie!
I need to see the full feature film "Pooky Park"
"If you visit, you have a chance of being turned into a mascot. You will never see your family again, forced to become a mindless creature with no emotion other than the lust to spread your pain onto others."
"Oh yeah and also have soda if, ya know, that's more your thing. It's only Coke products though. Sorry!"
Why would anyone not captured go to this amusement park down the line? After word got out?

@@scribe570 it could be like derry from it
This is actually really creepy, not just the visuals, but the premise
The thing that just baffles me is the guy voicing the commercial. He's making things like getting chased by puppets sound like it's completely normal when it's NOT. I mean, he just straight up drops the bombshell that if these things touch you, they'll make you become one of them, and he just acts like that's fun and exciting! Bro, I wouldn't wanna take my family here, in fact I'd burn this place to the ground!
"Creepy" is a wild understatement.
@@CitizenPrime-tb7rp More like "horrifying"
fun for the wHoLe family
@@Mr.Needle-HamsterNo, no.. more like "super-duper-mega-EXTRA-SPOOKYLICIOUSLY creepinesslessness with sauce and fries on the side😢😮"
People in 100 years are going to look at this as the innocent phase of AI, when we saw it for what it was, at it's most basic level, had the chance to kill it, but didn't. Next was the nightmare phase where we couldn't tell what was real and what wasn't.
That was totally awesome!! Please make some more of these.
2:11 looks completely real jesus
0:32 Oh shit they got the Ice Spice puppet 💀
DUDE!!! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS EXPECTING, BUT HOPING NOT TO SEE
1:53
A shape-shifting puppet
"Make traumas that hunt you for a live time" is what the AI translated in the last sentence to a version about happy memories 😂
"Customers confess that they've never felt so... attached- ...."
Damn... you can really sense the narrator having to swallow and regain his composure there for a moment 😅
The pause before he says "attached" sent a chill down my spine.
If someone secretly invented this tech somehow back then, all manner of things could happen, including ending the world
Considering how many people participate in the running of the bulls, I bet people would go to this park.
Now that deserves it's own Twilight Zone episode based on a strange family theme park.
I would pay my life savings to watch an episode like that.
So wait, if they touch you while the siren sounds, you become one of them. But do you also turn into one if you touch them when the sirens ARENT on?
Nah, they turn into one of you (a human)
@@masonsykes2240weird af mate
probably not, you don’t become one when the sirens aren’t on
It isn't real. It is AI generated fiction. Don't worry. Neither of those things will occur.
@@seanrobinson6407Why is this reply hidden
I ain't eating no food here, because when that siren goes off you're going to be sluggish from eating and can't run.
Thank you for creating the concrete nightmare for tonight
Honestly once AI covers construction, we should prompt it to make Pooky Park.
Wdym?
@@TurtleMan2023 Exactly what I said, once it can do construction we should make Pooky Park real.
How would that even work? You need physical space for construction and you need the money and people who can run a business. Its not something you can just generate like a image or video
Oh heck no 😱
I love the feeling of 1950s ish optimism meets underlying post war atomic dread. See? Everything's great now. Don't stop smiling. Don't let them see you stop smiling. Remember to stop, drop and roll kids!
It's proper tension building, Rod Sterling/Alfred Hitchcock horror this.
This is a case study in how to use the limitations of your medium to your advantage.
"Endless laughter and joy..."
Their caricature-like faces, along with their sizes and proportions, really gives me some Attack on Titan vibes
Finally! I'm not the only one who noticed that!
Me too!
Yeah that was particularly trippy tbh the attack on Titan moment with that giant puppet
omg I can definitely see this being an actual famous internet scary story type thing and many other stuff, I love the concept
the next candle cove basically
yeh pretty much, or something like those old abandoned disney world attraction horror stories,
The hour of joy TLDR:
This needs to be a series
2:17 why did one of the "top notch soda jerks" look like Taylor Swift? 💀
Ai continuing to not know what it's trying to portray is always funny and horrifying. 😂
Imagine seeing this when you were a child.
AI music hasn't impressed me at all...AI video keeps impressing me MORE than any other productions i've seen in my LIFE!! This stuff is SO cool...all of it..its just WEIRD in a world where weird has been replaced with cheeky or in-your-face.
Agreed. I like weird and this is chefs kiss 😚
1:45 dude holy f...
This video is severely underrated. Well done!
The fact that it's made by early ai makes it 10x scarier everything looks slightly off including the "normal" people
I’ll never sleep again
