any soialog horror? (analog horror with no jumpscares)
Local 58 it's very tame
GEMINI HOUSE ENTERTAINMENT is also good
It was just another come-and-go youtube fad
It's been replaced by liminal spaces horror
I'll never understand why people find this scary or anxiety-inducing. It creates a dreamlike, serene and interesting feeling in me, I want to be there and explore, walk around. Sure, there's a slight sense that something is "wrong" but that just heightens the otherwordly dreamlike atmosphere of these places
The horror is in being trapped there. There's no obvious exit so you're doomed to wander around forever.
I wonder if the reason zoomers are so scared if these places is because they're big and empty so it would be totally devoid of easy dopamine for them.
That's weak, because it would be "horrifying" to be trapped anywhere.
yeah but being trapped AND bored? That's cap senpai fr, mid af ong
kek, but the areas with the waterparks look pretty fun to be trapped in.
>It creates a dreamlike, serene and interesting feeling in me
it's a weird and sort of paradoxical feeling that i think the young people are having trouble describing with their limited vocabularies. like that pic on the right gives me just a little bit of vertigo, but like you i want to explore it and get more vertigo. i think we're all having the same reaction but some people settle on just calling it "scary" out of convenience
IS THAT A HECKIN' COMMUNITY CENTER AT 8PM!
AIIIIEEE, SAVE ME SLENDERMAN!
Isn't the liminal meme part of the anal log horror?
>anal log horror
what would that look like?
Probably something like that final destination scene.
Anal log horror is what gave Vlad Dracul his nickname; the Impaler
Nah, Analog horror stems from a fear of authority. The kind of authority that comes from your program being interrupted by a sudden warning message with beeping and a robotic voice telling you to hide under your couch
Zoomers are too young to realize that 90s/00s internet was too slow to have all this horror shit. Imagine an entity trying to haunt you on dial up
This is literally what Pulse was about though. And yes, it was slow.
Ooo spooky *dial up phone sounds*
00s had plenty of web horror, and 90s had spoopy spam email like “send this to 5 other people or I’ll rape your mouth oogabooga”
And I lived through it, and talking to morons on AOL chat was never scary
Remember how everyone shat themselfs over Frick Toy corry shit?
That was funny
Twitter autists derailed the series imo. He's focusing more on spiting them with even more over the top gore than on organically continuing the story. Last 2 epidodes felt like filler because of that.
Which is a shame because I liked the true crime element to this analog horror series. The artist serial killer modus operandi with the paintings is interesting.
And the serial killer feels like an amalgam of all the other serial killers in history but with all their characteristics dialed up to 11. To the point where it borders on parody.
What about relaylogichorror?
The genre is dead because almost everyone who makes analog horror uses pre-existing footage and AI voices to make it instead of actually investing money into a decent project. You can only do so much with recreating creepy PSA's from the 90s.
Also all of them are influenced by Inland Empire but none of them understand what made Inland Empire so creepy
Anal-og lol
eh heh-heh
I'm gonna take me a big ol anal-log here in a mo'
>Zanzibart...I kneel
kek
This was kinda analog
I'm getting weird vibes from this. Like I expect it to be a gif so I'm waiting for it to do something.
just watch it, its a good one
This house has people in it is kind of the peak of the genre.
It is elevated to a whole other level simply because it actually aired on tv at a weird hour.
This one truly fricked me up for a while. Going down that rabbit hole was truly something else
>oh no it's a metaphor for a surburban white girl with mental health issues OH NOOOOOOOO
It's not about the girl. It's about how neglecting one thing until it's too late force's you to lose sight of other important things too. It destroys more than just the family it affects the neighborhood too.
Basically, all other problems are a result of parents neglecting to take care of the first. Once tragedy strikes, there's 3 more waiting upstairs and outside.
I can resonate with that.
the downward spiral of analog horror
creepy PSAs
creepy midnight shows
creepy "files" (ie physical copies and found footage instead of actual analog tv)
straight up walls of creepypasta text with a vhs filter

The Horror (TM)(R)(C)(BLT)
The Oldest View was pretty kino and that creator has some mainstream appeal
Looks interesting tnx
more just found footage than analog, no?
The Tangi Virus is actually pretty good.
I wanted more of the Gemini Home Entertainment stuff, it was pretty cool.
God, Monument Mythos ending is total shit.
anything other than local is absolute cringe tier hipster reddit dogshit
and yes you should feel bad
zoomer horror is even worse than soi horror. haha distorted photoshop images and uncanny 2000s era found footage, how creepy
Damn, Monument Mythos fell hard, it went from "what if there was a conspiracy to feed the american people to giant monsters?" to "what if Donald Trump eyes bleed and he was a meanie poopy head?".
what is analog horror
Horror visually reminiscent of analogue TV or VHS tape footage. Cousin of Found Footage genre like Bleir Witch and Paranormal Activity
I’ve noticed riding numbers of Digital Horror, aka early Flash player horror, taking the stage.
Mandela Catalogue being the one that got giga-popular ruined the genre.
It honestly feels like a big shitpost about the genre. Just silly stretched out faces in black and white while a guy goes "pspspspsps" into the mic.
The idea of the Mandela Catalogue is better than the execution. Having the things you worship and trust replaced is a pretty scary thing, but the cartoon spooky Gabriel just made me laugh.
I liked the thing about the kid being one of the alternates, and only finding out about it,
For me, it's the DBS crossover.
>Local 58
>Gemini Home Entertainment
>Kane Pixel's backrooms
Are there any good analog horror series besides these three?
Greylock, Vita Carnis, and Midwest Angelica are good.
>Vita Carnis
I feel like that one is going to turn to shit. I don't know. Something about it gives me the impression that the creator is going to sell out and try to cash in on the popularity.
I hope not. Using physical puppets for the the screaming grub creatures and the mimic was honestly pretty fun and well done.
Oh and White Stag Entertainment. I’ve heard good things about Winter of 83 but I haven’t seen it, too.
Maybe, but for now it’s good.
The Tangi Virus.
I really like Gemini.
Still waiting on that resolution tho.
Vita Carnis is pretty similar to GHE but it's good as well
I liked this one
?si=UcUaT0-Ml7liLl5B
Analogue horror is just "spooky" faces over a black background so scary
>is that... the newest abrasive uncanny liminal core psychedelic gender-affirming deep Internet folklore rabbithole mystery low-poly socially conscious meta-fictional analogue horror ARG with a OST by Jeffre Cantu-Ledesma? TURN THAT SHIT WAY UP MY GUY
How can zoomer horror be un-ruined?
When the backrooms movie comes out will they finally realize what they've done?
Make them walk around a mall
They would be terrified though. Too liminal.
Or do you mean that if they walked around in normal places they'd cut the liminal spaces shit out?
If you make them walk around an abandoned mall they may actually get jumped by squatters, further cementing the fear
>is that a middle eastern person selling t-shirts of tweety bird smokimg weed?? NNNOOOOOOOO THE LIMINALITY
Why is new analog horror so soulless compared to the originals like Blair Witch Project?
...
i remember this thing from PAX 2013
CamDrome
Not sure if it's still a thing or not. Kind of vanished off the face of the earth. I remember when the website was still up. I'd visit once and awhile and it'd creep me out.
I still can't find it's "Unlisted" videos. If anyone could be of some help.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHKFdKkiS4E
Only slightly related but I remember about 10 years ago watching some creepy series of videos where a young guy goes exploring somewhere like rural Europe and gets lost, then someone finds his body on Google maps or something. Anybody remember that? I guess you'd call it an ARG
Its dead because nobody still making it undrstands the genre. Whereas the immersion breaker in a lot of found footage is "why did they record this", Analog Horror faces a similar issue. Often times Analog Horror is shows a lot of like instructional video tapes where the visual designs dotn line up, so you ask "why would theis corporation intentionally make this instructional video on how To Jack Off scary"
Examples like Vita Carnis, the video on "how to avoid msatman" has a like cartoony stick version of a human, but the meat man is not similarly cartoonized. Little immersion breaks and inconsistencies like that add up and really break things.
Tldr analog horror relies on a percieved authenticity of the material and nobody knows how to keep it authentic
In terms of "why would they record this" there's an ARG called Ash Vlogs that's actually pretty good with that. She's vlogging and there's some creepy dude outside, and doesn't take care to hide personal info etc. Newbie mistakes that end up biting her in the ass and getting her and people she knows hurt.
jump scares and gore for gores sake are so low effort, they annoy me more than anything.
I guess I'm just more into psychological horror than that sort of thing.
The OG
>The Mezzotint is a 1904 story by the British horror writer M.R.

>A man finds a mezzotint - a 19th century style of steel engraving that was seen as old-fashioned and crappy
>Is unnerved by how old and weird it looks
>Starts thinking he sees creepy things changing in it
>IS GHOSTS
This shit is way older than you think
>mezzotint
Okay, that's a fricking picture basically. Seeing spooky things in a picture is one thing. Thinking the mall is an alternate dimension because nobody goes there anymore since they closed the J.C. Penny is not the same thing.
This thread is about analog horror, not liminal horror, anon.
Upvoted. They’re hella different, broh.
>Old lo-fi thing is creepy
Do you think people in 50 years will find the idea of Twitter creepy?
>YOU COULD ONLY SAY ONE SENTENCE AT A TIME!
The genre peaked a decade ago with youtube creators building interesting creepypasta series's, like Marblehornets. The modern stuff is too tryhard to create the fake VHS feel that makes no sense to exist in this day and age. It's a shame, since shit like Skinamarink now define analog horror, only dragging it down.
>Ahhh is that mainstream technology from 20 years ago and an empty corridor? I'm going insaaaaaaane!
