Here is the full unedited video that comes with the board game Atmosfear also known as Nightmare. Warning, there are a LOT of static timers between the narrator's parts.
The only part that really gave me the willies was that ominous prompt to "TURN THE VOLUME UP AND THE LIGHTS DOWN" amid the creepy, disembodied sound of a child giggling. The GATEUHKEEPAHRE!! was so ridiculous and hammy that we couldn't stop cracking up at him the scarier he tried to be. Then we find out that childish giggle belonged to _him,_ which just made it even funnier. "I release you... from the Blag'ole."
This was the shit when I was a kid, it just seemed to scare you man, it really was brilliant at the time, I can remember he "called upon me" to do whatever it was, and I thought I'd be cool and ignore him, and when he aggressively repeated himself I shit myself 😂
My friend had this and we played it once, and then every time I visited her she had it playing in the background. Not playing the game, just the video. While she did other stuff. All the time. I don't... I don't know...
lmao my sister had this game and we played the very first time with my parents, my dad was the old one and I was the weakest "young one".. this game was really something special the first time you played it.
Thank you for the upload I was looking for the original version on vhs, I loved this game so much when I was younger it genuinely was scary! The music building tension, the change of character over the time, even the full moon-and candle for Elizabeth, the effects were good also for its time, it's a shame the remaining sets never got released, if there was something made today I think it would be great.
Shakerlime You're welcome! I never noticed the slowly increasing makeup on the guy before and it is very creepy and impressive for just a boardgame VHS!
The way how you interacted with the game when you were a child was frightening. I couldn’t sleep, in case the gatekeeper flew through the window to take me away from my home :( My brothers were laughing at me :(
I really think this was underrated for what it was I had so much fun with this as a kid and enjoyed playing it with others and funny seeing them scarred shit!! Lol
Nikz World well bloody said. I loved this game so did my big bro. playing it on the odd Friday night with munchies and sometimes friends just having a laugh.
It’s crazy how a franchise that sold out dance parties and got partnerships with the likes of Pepsi in the 90’s went to be a obscure thing in the past, talk to any one in a fandom on the internet, especially outside the UK, they may not know what the franchise is. It deserves to be remembered by multiple generations imo, it’s a great franchise.
Awesome! Just found a copy of this in a second hand store for £6 complete but wondered if anyone had put the VHS on TH-cam. Tempted to remaster the audio on this. Get rid of the hiss and make it loads louder.
I remember playing this one night with 3 work colleagues when it first came out. It certainly left an impression, as I remember it like yesterday! *I recognised 'The Gatekeeper' straight away. Maybe I've had nightmares featuring him since, I don't know, but he's certainly the right man for the job! lol. Good stuff, good fun!!
This is epic! I just found my old board games and I thought 'I'll just check if anyone has put them on you tube' and here it is. Might be playing this soon.
When I was 5 years old and my cousin came over, my older sister used to play this video and they'd watch it in my room. Didn't play the game, just competed with each other to see who would scream the loudest.
These atmosphere games were awsome when I was a kid. I used to find that if you let it in, if you did what he said and played it like he was actually talking to you, you do get a little jitter here and there. You really get into it.
Played this with a female best friend of mine 1 night when I stayed the night with her (yes I'm a guy and yes allot of ppl thought it was strange I stayed the night with a female friend at age 11 but we were truly "best friends" and our parents both knew this). Anyways, it was her game and I'm embarrassed to say that this game literally stayed in my head and fucked with me all the way up to my early teens lol. I'm also positive she created an elaborate backstory to the game about it causing deaths to other kids or something lol. At the time which was late 90's, this was some cutting edge shit as far as board games went.
It's interesting how the transformation of the host is more subtle than in the other videos. While the Baron, Anne and Elizabeth had very noticeable changes, this one makes use of lighting changes and subtle makeup to make the Gatekeeper look progressively older, until he practically looks like a walking corpse.
Oh my god!!! I remember this! Thanks for uploading-so funny to re-watch after all this time. Absolutely terrified me and my brother!!! I was never allowed to play it as he was so scared, so I just used to watch the video to see what happened! Good old days!! 😂😂😂
I remember getting this game as a kid and the Star Trek: The Next Generation VCR board game where the Klingon Gowron hijacks the Enterprise.. (I think it was made by the same company) I still have them in storage in the original boxes at my cottage lol
The Star Trek VHS game was made by Decipher, who had the licence to make games with that setting. And the klingon who took the Enterprise was Kavok, who had basically gone rogue.
that first line ''so you want to play the game, my game by my rules'' has been stuck in my head for decades, and i knew it was from a VHS boardgame the teacher bought in for us to play at school, but i never knew what it was called. anytime anyone mentions playing games in a youtube video that line still pops in my head.
There was one key that said "you are released from the black hole". So that meant all this banished to the black hole stuff the gate keeper was on about didn't apply anymore.
I owned this game back in the early 90s. I put it on one day to show my 4 year old nephew and I really shouldn't have done. The gate keepr scared him beyond belief and he cried so much. But as I remember there was actually no age restriction on it. But anyway for the time it was so innovative and it worked by achieving to scare poeple ( and not just my little nephew at the time. He's in his late 30s now btw and is perfectly fine). But all in all a good game. 👍 .
Oh good good I remember this when it came out! (It was well expensive back then too!) my cousin had it it scared the shit out of me! I brought it for my daughter for Xmas a few years ago the original one it was even more expensive that time round I had to also get the vhs transferred to dvd (no app available 3 years ago)! Played it with hubby.daughter and friends.Brought back memories!! Funniest was finding out my husbands greatest fear 😆.So glad I forked out the money for the original game though the new gate keeper guy just not the same!!!didn’t think to look on you tube 3 years ago ……🤭 but I’ve got the original vhs in the box so will still keep that put in box as the original
Nostalgia I was telling yes my gatekeeper then,remembered the nightmare cards. I'm still afraid of not dreaming. My mother was young so we played this at about 8 years old
Chills watching this! Have a question, who can tell me how many times the Gatekeeper blinks during the entire video? Dunno the actor but what a job he did!
Thank God you preserved this on TH-cam. I was trying to explain a 'VHS boardgame that scared the shit out of me as a kid' to my wife and here it is 😂

"I release you... from the Blag'ole."
I first found this myself around 6 or 7 years ago, couldn't believe it when I saw it, brings back memories.
I typed up “Yes my gatekeeper” on google because that’s what I remembered and it came up 😄 the music and this guy used to scare me!
Give this man an Oscar.
Thank you, he is very good. He is an award winning actor, (I might be ruining his reputation, but he is a very nice man).
@@gavinpuli9052 Here is his IMDB page: www.imdb.com/name/nm0636513/
He's like evil Rich Evans
Answer me you maggot!

Thank you for uploading this!
Dug out our board game from storage to find the tape is now unusable. This has averted a game night crisis.

Old Gregg this game was fucked man
Gave me nightmares
Lmao
*YOU DO NOT DISRESPECT THE GATEKEEPER*
come closer
come closer
NOT THAT CLOSE !!
Hahaha
This was my favourite game as a kid. The fun game combined with the creepy dude on video that slowly gets more & more ghoulish was so cool
I really like how it gets crazier the longer the game has been going.
"Any unauthorized copying, exhibition, and/or broadcasting of the game/video casette is strictly prohibited"
EFF THE COPS
Should of had the Gatekeeper threaten to banish any bootleggers/pirates to the Black Hole.
We had no choice!!! we live in the Internet Age LOL
🤣🤣🤣
26:45
This game used to scare the shit out of me when I was younger and loved it ever since.
My friend had this and we played it once, and then every time I visited her she had it playing in the background. Not playing the game, just the video. While she did other stuff. All the time. I don't... I don't know...
she lost the game, of course.
........Your friend sounds insane... Just sayin lol
I had a Star Trek one that my brothers and I used to do this with we have never even played the game
She's permanently in the BLACK HOLE
Some people like the spooky atmosphere, I know I love stuff like this
I'm here because I've just seen an advert for it on kickstarter. Brings back happy and crazy memories.
56:58
Not all hero's wear capes.
i love that overtime, he gets more and more decayed
I used to love how the Gatekeeper would insult you. I was always "The Old One." "How...old...are you?"
lmao my sister had this game and we played the very first time with my parents, my dad was the old one and I was the weakest "young one".. this game was really something special the first time you played it.
And then later on would return and ask "ARE YOU DEAD YET?" (havent watched this since) I remember us playing this with my grandmother (ww2 generation)
That old?
I love how in these games the characters change to their true forms.
I remember them being on VHS. Luckily it’s on TH-cam now so it can be played!
We were not sure how the game would translate to digital. It translates well.
27:52
Best pickup line ever:
"I am..... THE GATEKEEPAAAAH!!!!!"
Such a great board game. Innovative and ridiculously fun

ColaMachine Played the game once as a kid and got so scared I stopped haha! Only found the VHS last year and watched it through.
They Came Out With A DVD Version A Good While Back. But Let's Be Honest: It's Just Not The Same On Anything Other Then A Old VHS Tape.
The way how you interacted with the game when you were a child was frightening. I couldn’t sleep, in case the gatekeeper flew through the window to take me away from my home :(
My brothers were laughing at me :(
@@JT5555difference being that I enjoy DVD games more because I like to use my Play Station
Some girls be like
“Yass my gatekeeper! Yass!”
More like Yass my Zatekeeper. Lol
If you were Australia in the late 80's early 90's this was advertised on pretty much every rental at the video store.
I remember my sister playing this with her mates. I used to think the gatekeeper was meatloaf 😂
Me too!!
Omg me too! 😂
😂😂 love it I wasn't the only one thinking this
You are what you eat, after all.
I really think this was underrated for what it was I had so much fun with this as a kid and enjoyed playing it with others and funny seeing them scarred shit!! Lol

Not sure where two million copies sold makes it underrated? Had a film rights in talks at The time and an unfinished super nes game
Awesome! Just found a copy of this in a second hand store for £6 complete but wondered if anyone had put the VHS on TH-cam.

where my criken boys at
Miish here my gatekeeper!
I'M SO OLD.
YES MY GATEKEEPER
I remember playing this one night with 3 work colleagues when it first came out. It certainly left an impression, as I remember it like yesterday!
*I recognised 'The Gatekeeper' straight away. Maybe I've had nightmares featuring him since, I don't know, but he's certainly the right man for the job! lol.
Good stuff, good fun!!
Omg, such nostalgia! This used to scare the pants off me and my friends 😂
And now?
I remember playing this when i was 5.... scared the hell out of me when i was asked to come close to the TV
This is epic! I just found my old board games and I thought 'I'll just check if anyone has put them on you tube' and here it is. Might be playing this soon.
Oscar winning performance!!!
49:29 - Easily the most sadistic line from The Gatekeeper. (And also one of his funniest!)
Thank you so much!!!! My vhs is fried I am so happy you uploaded this so we could still play!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
When I was 5 years old and my cousin came over, my older sister used to play this video and they'd watch it in my room. Didn't play the game, just competed with each other to see who would scream the loudest.
If this guy's the gatekeeper, then does that mean we're the keymasters?
No,We're The Maggots.>:T
@@JT5555 Only the winner can refer themself as the KeyMaster
My childhood was so fucking metal.
These atmosphere games were awsome when I was a kid. I used to find that if you let it in, if you did what he said and played it like he was actually talking to you, you do get a little jitter here and there. You really get into it.
That pleasing VHS hum...
STOP! WHO STILL HAS THIS ORIGINAL BOARDGAME WITH THE VIDEO? ANSWER ME!
Played this with a female best friend of mine 1 night when I stayed the night with her (yes I'm a guy and yes allot of ppl thought it was strange I stayed the night with a female friend at age 11 but we were truly "best friends" and our parents both knew this).

Could just said, "me and a buddy" why all the awkward friend splaining
This does sound a bit like a villain origin story.
Thank you for uploading such a high quality transfer :)
I cant lie, I feel like such a nerd but this was officially my sh@t when I was younger!!! I literally had sleepovers to play this!!! Was dope lol
Thanks I love this game it's become one of my dear favorites!
Shea McDonough it been one of my favourites too my personal favourite is atmosfear 4 Elizabeth bathory
The Best quality video of the original Nightmare I've ever seen! Do you happen to have the other nightmare videos too?
Oh this brings back memories!!!!
Still have this from when it was new.
27:52
YES MY GATEKEEPER!
It's interesting how the transformation of the host is more subtle than in the other videos.
While the Baron, Anne and Elizabeth had very noticeable changes, this one makes use of lighting changes and subtle makeup to make the Gatekeeper look progressively older, until he practically looks like a walking corpse.
Played this tonight with my friends. Quite fun lol
Omg I used to play this I thought I'd never see it again I had to be like 6 lol so awesome
27:52
if i were him id bust out laughing at that part towards the end where he just stares at the camera for like 10 minutes straight haha
Oh my god!!! I remember this! Thanks for uploading-so funny to re-watch after all this time. Absolutely terrified me and my brother!!! I was never allowed to play it as he was so scared, so I just used to watch the video to see what happened! Good old days!! 😂😂😂
Thanks for uploading the video.now I can play the game without having to get a VHS player.
Absolute classic, got lucky on ebay and got this and 3 expansion Packs for it,original vhs version.
I still have the board the tokens and cards...now I can play it without buying a VCR!
I will never forget playing this as a kid and my cousins getting so scared they cried and had to quit playing.
I remember getting this game as a kid and the Star Trek: The Next Generation VCR board game where the Klingon Gowron hijacks the Enterprise.. (I think it was made by the same company)

In comparison to the new gatekeeper this one was more intense which made playing the game more enjoyable.
man its like if Emperor Palpatine was evil - oh wait
just played this after so many years still fun. I dont know how we kept up with it.
A far more effective Gitmo interrogation technology than water boarding.
59:09 the time pressure is starting to show
i loved this game i was 6 when it came out and it scared me then and now that weirdo is even weirder
Does he even blink? I loved this game as a kid, the nostalgia!
"DON'T DO THIS!!!!..... DON'T YOU NEVER!, NEVER!, NEVER!, CONE CLOSE TO ME AGAIN YOU MAGGOT!!".
That scared the shit out of me that did!🤣🤣🤣
This guy didn't blink for 2mins impressive
😂 This game was so funny to play. I still have it in my collection.
This game scared the shit outta me when i was little lol playing it with my cousin at like midnight
I learned the name by farfromsubtle on night trap when becky was talking about it
I saw their vid lol.
I remember playing this SO much as a kid!
This guy never blinks!
There was one key that said "you are released from the black hole". So that meant all this banished to the black hole stuff the gate keeper was on about didn't apply anymore.
I remember my elder siblings playing this... typing this wearing beach heads at 6:22 I've literally just decided I need a new pair of shorts.
I still like the old board game of the atmosfear board game
I loved this. Good times with mates. Slightly stoned.
I owned this game back in the early 90s. I put it on one day to show my 4 year old nephew and I really shouldn't have done. The gate keepr scared him beyond belief and he cried so much.

@@RIGTHEMORT I don't understand.
@@Joey.9 Its lyrics from a track by The Prodigy called 'Omen'
I used to have this game good memories
No one ever thinks of the actor. Maybe he was going through a divorce, maybe a sick relative, but had to work still.
Wish someone could upload the soundtrack of this.
I remember watching this around my cousins house and pure shittint myself
Omg thank you !
I remember playing this game with my sisters.
Nostalgia I was telling yes my gatekeeper then,remembered the nightmare cards. I'm still afraid of not dreaming. My mother was young so we played this at about 8 years old
The 90’s were lit AF
oooh this is great. Do you know if I purchase the new game board (to be used with an app), can I use this video instead of the app?
So many fights playing this game. People getting real angry when you scared the s**t out of them🤣
LOL Loved this game as a kid; this and the other one that had the Witch.
I was tearafied as a kid watching this I would hide under my blanket
The far scarier Betamax version is buried in a Vatican vault.
The guy seems to be an awful lot like the star wars emporer.
Scott Cowan on low 90's budget😂👌
this time of night its time to find some videos to fall asleep to. this is not it XD
I will always remember this guy from the movie about Pope John Paul II (starring Jon Voight).
This game beats the shit out of Trivial Pursuit.
Chills watching this! Have a question, who can tell me how many times the Gatekeeper blinks during the entire video? Dunno the actor but what a job he did!
Drank a bottle of wine and decided to watch a video to a game that no one bought me when I was 9. Standard.
it is over little maggots you have lost is the end of my game but just the beging of your nightmare
Totally unfair at 40:20!😂😂😂, but still love it 🤣🤣🤣
Wish they would bring this back with all the characters
But you start to remember it. Needs several tracks to make it work
“Yes, my gatekeeper” (please don’t kill me 😨)
