Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

I watched the Wendigoon video. It wasn't as bad as it sounded from the title, honestly.
He didn't really shit all over Urban or try to play horror police and what he did say wasn't that unfair. I was fully expecting him to go full sperg-mode over "acceptable horror", so him just saying it's disturbing (not even that that makes it bad) but without any real substance was a big surprise.
He should've just not covered it at all and made one of his usual ARG explained videos on Greylocke.

In the same topic, "Hey Peter", one of the channels that made a video sperging about Urban said he only did it for shekels because he knew it would get views:

Yeah, that's would have been a better route but then again, how can you expect someone who exploded as large as they have in a less than two years to know what the heck to do? Greylocke is sort of the Serbian film of that genre of horror IMO, I still appreciate the display of creativity though.

These guys live in the hell they created. Shameless grifting while complaining Toei won't let him use Pokemon footage or whatever, while I'm eyeing this garbage in my recommendations:

2023 and niggers are still in wonder of "M A R I O" romhacks that are all implication and zero-payoff or technical skill.

Hey Peter is a lowly plebian serving up the goyslop of internet horror and he is RIGHTFULLY poor and RIGHTFULLY persecuted by better, stronger grifters.

Also, he looks exactly like Ethan Ralph and calls himself a grifter.

I came across this video and thought it was interesting:


I know it’s TTS and has kind of a clickbait title, but some of the videos are pretty terrifying, probably because the dashcam POV makes it relatable for those of us who are on the road all the time. I’ve also never seen any of the videos before, so it’s better than all the horror channels that just regurgitate the same couple stories every once and a while.

The TTS is pretty palatable in that one, if you hadn't pointed it out it would have taken me a minute to catch on. Some of those were stressful as shit. Like you said, the relatability of dashcam footage just hits different. Especially how things can go from a normal day to completely fucked in a second. 911 call compilations have a similar real life horror discomfort to me but I can stomach a lot more dashcam footage than I can those.

There were a couple good weather ones in there but I don't think I saw this one in it. Truck driver barrels into the Joplin EF-5 thinking it's just heavy rain. Really hits me in the "Am I overreacting? Should I pull over?" moment most people have from time to time when conditions change fast. Knowing exactly how terrifying that tornado actually was and how oblivious this dude is to the fact that he's heading straight at a mile wide death wall is some top notch recreational anxiety.


A fun thing to do to find dashcam videos that haven't been played to death is to hit up the Dangerous Roads site and go to a random country, start clicking around, and YouTube what you find. You can get a good combination of relaxing motorcycle rides through the Himalayas and "Holy shit that's a 2000' drop and his tire is over the edge" that way.
 
Anyone think Oddheader sucks now? It really feels like his content has been getting more and more lazy as time goes on. Half the entries in his more recent videos are wild speculation on something that may not even be true, or are just very poorly researched. It sucks because I used to enjoy his videos a lot because I think video game easter eggs and secrets are neat.

I genuinely think so many Youtubers become worse when they start doing sponsors in videos. They don't even give a shit on how good the video does anymore because they already made their money. That's what I think happened to Oddheader. He just shits out a new video without putting the work in. Also on a side note, I'm surprised he hasn't gotten heat for being sponsored by the blatant scam Established Titles, and having """Alleged""" abuser Justin Roiland on his channel.

Think a part of it is that hes running out of true easter eggs. Games dont seem toreally do that anymore.

A video about animal attacks on humans.
The first one is pretty infamous; it's that chimp had been raised as a human but ended up ripping off a woman's face off. I feel as if a lot of people tend to forget that chimps are fucking violent creatures. They may look humanoid but they are still highly aggressive and territorial animals.

The second story is a case of social Darwinism. Idiots went to a "drive-through" zoo. The ones where you drive past the animals with literally no fence. A woman decided to get out despite...well, clear warnings not to, then got mauled by a tiger. Same bitch complained about not being warned enough and sued the park but like...is it not obvious, you're not supposed to fucking hop out of a safe vehicle in an enclosure filled with fucking tigers?

The last story is absolutely horrific. Two deadbeat druggie parents buy a massive python and barely take care of the animal. This resulted in the animal killing and attempting to eat their toddler.

CPS also fucking failed here. "Oh the druggie parents who bought a dangerous animal and barely taking care of it, living in squalor because they are broke are totally fit to take care of this child!

Fuck off.
 
deadwing dork has some good criticism of analog horror
i think his opinion that fake youtube channels should be created to make a series feel "realer" is autistic but i agree that shit like the mandela catalog is completely divorced from pretending to be an actual tape someone edited together in the 80s
I was a kid in the 80s so I'll see stuff sometimes that's like... that didn't work like that, or whatever. It pulls me out of the video but I try to remember that for the most part the people making these videos didn't live thru a time period where VHS was the prime entertainment vehicle for home movies.

I think there is way too many people out there doing analog horror when the story doesn't call for it. I understand that the VHS distortion is a good trick to hide mediocre effects but alot of the time it feels out of place.

Here is what i would say is a good example of doing analog right without overdoing the effects:
We get the standard, "you've inserted a vhs tape into a vcr" start and then its mostly clear video like it should be unless it's something recorded off of a shitty tv. It's a good story and while I wouldn't call it scary I found it a bit unsettling. I'm sure urbanspooks critics would cry and wail about the subject matter.

The vast majority of analog series are made by Zoomers born after 2000, Zoomers think VHS is scary because OLD when people in the 1980s were concerned with more pressing issues like Drugs, Crime, and Nuclear Winter.

Vintage Eight is pretty underrated when it comes to the Analog.

The middle one I wasn't aware of, since chinks gonna chink and there were already too many Asian-person-gets-killed-being-stupid videos on the former LiveLeak. But for stories #1 and #3, I definitely knew about them since they were covered by Horror Stories on Youtube several years back. The Gypsy the snake story makes me legit MATI since I knew lots of trashy families like that when I was younger -- where the crackhead parents kept lots of animals like snakes, lizards, and pitbulls unattended.
 
>Charlie just shits all over TroonMax's "expose" video
What the fuck is Max's goal with this? Yeah I understand that he wants to pretend that he's doing this for the safety and wellbeing of kids, but him trying to pseudo-cancel YouTubers for not talking about child exploitation and giving him attention is just beyond retarded. I don't think that this is going to be a battle that Max will win, his edginess and desperation with online fame is starting to get in the way of his actual message.
 
Max talks about the farms

WHAT HAVE YOU NIGGAS DONE TO THIS POOR MAN'S FAMILY?
At this point "They doxxed and harassed me/my family" is just lolcow for "I'm mad butthurt they don't like me"
Like bruh we already know how down bad you are for attention, don't just start making lies for the sake of it now.

the VHS effects detract from it because it's not trying to be a tape
