Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

Man seeing the name "Slimebeast" really brings me back. That guy's been a cow in the sector for over a decade now. I remember when he would get really butthurt when the guys on Bad Creepypasta would make fun of his shitty stories.
Deeply ironic considering how many podcasts dedicated to ripping shitty stories apart he's been apart of over the years. Dude's a complete hypocrite.
 
Been seeing all the horror channels talk about Linkara's Winter of 83 as the next big thing in analog horror. It actually any good or is it just content for Nexpo and Nick to moan over?

its a shitty radio drama
The worst part is that the few times that it isn’t said shitty audio drama, it happens to instead be a blatant rip-off of better things.

Nah, it’s not Nightvale.

What you have here is someone who heard that Gemini Home Entertainment was made by one guy, decided “Hey, with my team of reviewers, we can match or even surpass the quality of that!”

Except nobody on the team could actually edit. Instead of analogue horror, you get… a weird audio drama that has a few extra found footage videos. The closest thing the series has in the sense of analogue horror is the insanely blatant GHI rip-off “campgrounds” video.

Compare both:


I can’t quote the other post because it’s a bit long, yet he also has videos ripping off Mandela’s calls and the Local58 idents. The above example is definitely the most blatant, though.
 
wendigoon's enthusiasm for shitty analog horror is kinda infectious but some of them are just so bad lmfao. like i'll never watch the backrooms series cus it's dumb as shit but i'll gladly watch wendi dissect it.
Obviously I (like a lot of other viewers) learned about Mandela Catalogue and Monument Mythos through him. I need to catch up on MC, but my lord I do love Monument Mythos.
Seeing how gung-ho he was about Skinamarink really hyped me up for the "film" (if you can call it that). I tapped out after 10 minutes, I don't care how much the filmbros convince themselves that it's a cinematic masterpiece - it fucking sucked.

isn't skinamarink just an analog horror youtube video made into a movie? sounds dreadful.

It is a full feature length movie, featuring shots of dark corners, bedrooms and hallways. The film grain is turned up all the way, so it looks like shit too. A lot of people say it's analog horror made into a movie, but it's less than that. The story is completely convoluted while at the same time being ass (it's about a kid that hits his head in the dark or some shit and his mother is upset about it, meanwhile people try to push the narrative that it's a metaphor for child abuse). I don't care enough to get all the facts about the movie right because it was absolute dogshit.
Not to mention this makes me pretty MATI.

yeah, it sounds like shit. i guess i'll stick to wendi's video on that as well lmfao
 
I just realized, is The Backrooms a complete rehash over how Slender Man was ruined/developed over the years?
-both started off on relatively obscure places with photos describing their unsettling nature (SA for slender, /x/ for backrooms)
-both started off as intriguing, mysterious, fear of the unknown type horrors
-both got autistically dragged by children with adding unnecessary lore to their characters, pretty much ruining the horror element (no thanks to youtube stars turbo boosting their recognition)
-both have high-production youtube shows based off of the material (Marble Hornets for Slender, that one series Kane is making in Blender)
And now, both of them will get a feature-length film when The Backrooms movie does eventually drop.
It's kinda funny how I haven't noticed we've been through this whole song and dance shit before.
Are there any autistic fanfictions where The Backrooms has sex with Jeff the Killer yet?

I wouldn't be surprised if any of the millions of backrooms monster entities children came up with ended up having a fic where they raped the victims who ended up in the 'rooms.

Not only is he a hypocrite but he's also an unhinged narcissist. Whenever there is a big drama in the creepypasta sector and and he inserts himself into it, he will appear in comment section of any video that covers it and sperg out at anyone that calls him out on being a drama whore and I mean literally anyone, even if it's a video with 20 views. Perhaps the most notable example is when he sperged out at Hoodohoodlumsrevenge, who is/was a relatively large figure in the sector, during the MrCreepypasta drama.

Hoodo was pretty skeptical about the whole drama and to many of the allegations Slimebeast was pushing. Slimebeast went into his comments and sperged out not only at him but also at anyone who made fun of him or criticized him. Hoodo eventually deleted the videos as he wanted to distance himself from the drama and Slimebeast made all sorts of bogus claims that MrCreepypasta payed him off or threatened him to delete the videos, without any evidence of course.

Now keep in mind Slimebeast has done this on literally any video that covers creepypasta community drama and brings him up, with the most recent notable example being the allegations of grooming against Creepsmcpasta. Hell, he event was arguing with people on here in the Creepypasta thread when they called him out as the attention seeking faggot that he is. This dude is over 40 years old and spends hours of his day sperging out at anyone online who makes fun of him.
All this self righteous crusading is most likely motivated by a vendetta he has against the larger creepypasta narrators for reading his stuff back in the day and him not making any money off the readings these narrators did. Now at times this was somewhat justified, as at one point MrCreepypasta was going to sell a physical Creepypasta anthology which included some of his stories without any permission or compensation to the original authors, however he'd often get mad at anyone who would read his stories and he did flag down Creepsmcpastas reading of Abandonment by Disney. This is odd as he marketed his stories as under the Creepypasta label, a literal portmanteau of the word "copypasta", so it's in the culture that they are spread everywhere around the internet and narrated by a bunch of people.

Anyways sorry if this has derailed the thread a bit, but since Slimebeast has been brought up again I thought it would be somewhat appropriate to give a lore dump on one of the older cows in this sector.
 
Thinking something is "an ARG" because one person made fanart is some next-level shit.

Sometimes a story about stupid video game theories is just a story about stupid video game theories. I have no idea who the bat creature is, and I don't know why anyone cares.
 
I interrupt your conversation about ARGs and Skinamarinkadinkadoo to bring you a new Raven's Eye about a corrupt African politician not named Idi Armin.


So typical 20th-century African shenanigans (and 21st frankly, let's be real). I will admit that I find the political evolution of Africa as a whole quite interesting.

Slight power level but it might be because I have blood relatives from West Africa so naturally the continent's formative years in independence fascinate me.

But certainly not enough for me to ever travel there.

Holy shit, I thought when the Bad Creepypasta guys said that you have alerts for whenever somebody mentions you on the internet they weren't being serious. But as soon as you're mentioned you pop into the thread like I've spoken the name of a Great Old One.
 
The forum has a little bell on the top right that alerts you when some mentions you with an @ symbol. I assume no one mentions you, so it likely never came up.

That's how it usually goes. Ping me, DM me, email me, then accuse me of Googling it. It's actually a great idea for smearing someone, if not for the ability to look back through recent posts here for the ping.

Jesus Christ dawg, I just didn't see the @, you don't need to bite my head off.
