Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

Inlé said:

Another boring ARG, sadly gave up halfway through
it almost feels like a paid promotion at this point

I listened to about 20 minutes before giving up. Literally WHAT IF UZUMAKI, BUT CIRCLES!

It really encompasses the retardation and lack of effort in the genre. Spirals work as a scary motive due to being imperfect, highly recurring and endless, they even double as a metaphor for insanity/obsession. Circles aren't scary, if anything they might be the least scary geometric shape.

Horror often draws from religion, folktale, and superstitions. Christianity has a uniquely close relationship with horror as Christian themes, imagery, and figures are super common horror tropes in the west.

How and why does Breadtube manage to infect even horror related shit, aren't the roots of the genre Christian?

You don't need to be Christian to enjoy and analyze horror stories. Given how lucrative horror movie channels are I'm suprised they haven't infected it sooner. From a quick skim they seem to be dunking on low budget evangelical "horror" movies and praising movies that line up with their politics (or trying to spin them so they fit).

Also some of the Ring thrown in for flavor, probably, idk, I was dozing while this played in the background.

As the other replies stated, you don’t need religion to be told to be scared but I have a feeling i have a feeling it’s the type of breadtuber people who go on and on about their religious trauma which I assume is the reason why they gravitate towards those type movies. (Hence why shit like the Mandela catalogue got popular within these circles)

And while I won’t deny on some films/horror projects having a political message or two but there really is times claiming movies like chucky is actually political doesn’t stick

>Erm actually chud, the demons are the heckking oppressed victims and you not sympathizing with them as they eat and rape children means you're a bigoted demonophobe that's indicative to you as a person.

Is it just me or does nothing on the internet scare anyone anymore? I used to be scared shitless of creepypastas and supposed found footage as a kid, now I'm just jaded of all the cheap jumpscares and analog horror slop and "le haunted thing", etc. Not even things lauded as classic horror effect me the same way it does my family, friends, etc. I've been watching horror straightfaced for how many years now, and I wonder if it's just because I had internet access as a kid and just...got used to everything.

Edit: found something on youtube that mildly scared me when I was 11 or 12 that I'd like to share. banger ass album too.

I wouldn’t say your the only one I feel like as we age we come to the realization that the stuff that used to scare us as kids is pretty stupid and can’t hurt us.

But the horror scene online is pretty shit I won’t lie.

You've just grown enough to understand that what happens in real life is scarier, more insidious and just as unstoppable

I don't know where else to post this, but I miss the whole Slender Man mythos from Something Awful. The German woodcuts and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics were really cool, not to mention the excerpts from academic books where the authors didn't understand what the fuck they meant, and the photographs where you could barely make him out in the background.

The Slender Man would be great material for something like a Delta Green campaign.

It's a shame that the imagery most horror movies take is surface level stuff, like demon possessions and exorcisms. The Bible has a lot of potential, for example, you can't tell me the Seraphim, with their six wings full of eyes, aren't creepy as fuck.
