Analog Horror/World Building general - A tranny boys club deciding what should and shouldn't scare zoomers + geek out about cool projects made by people with real talent

Sorry for the late reply. They claimed that the Godzilla fanbase was horribly toxic, but provides no context or examples like all these other people who claim something is "toxic." Chances are they got one or two trolls or read something they didn't like. They're nothing more than some Tumblrite who's skin is as thin as paper. How do I know this? They immediately went to the Murder Drones fandom, one of the most degenerate, far-left, "toxic" (usually toxic positivity until breathes incorrectly, then all hell breaks loose) fandoms out there that is beloved by plebbitors and Tumblrites alike. Guy is either in for a rude awakening or it's exactly like I said at the start of this paragraph.

I wonder if its because the Godzilla fanbase is pissed because the plot of the man in the suit involves the real life Godzilla actor becoming a psychopathic monster that Toei is secretly keeping locked away.

Honestly the best analog horror that deals with fictional universes would be to have it take place within the universe that explores the horror of it, there's more interesting Godzilla horror videos out there that do this pretty well.

Guys, I'm not gonna lie. I'm a petty little bitch.

Remind me not to get on your bad side because petty people can be brutal.

Tales of Kaimere

Oh shit nigger I'm surprised someone else here heard of this too. Speaking of prehistoric shit, there was a guy on twatter who made a twitter thread analog paleolithic (or prehistoric) horror. Concept was an interesting concept but overall not too good.

 

[Sooty Soot]

I'm so tired of these people calling every single new tranalog horror slop "psychological horror", you wanna see an actual psychological horror piece of media? Watch A Clockwork Orange.
And while I'm at it, I might as well post this.

Hold on, he used the original actor of Godzilla as the Man in the Suit? I was under the impression that a fictional counterpart was used, but then again I'm not that much of a Kaiju fan.

I vaguely remember some Sonic the Hedgehog themed analog horror series that took place within the Sonic universe. All I really remember was it reinterpreting Perfect Chaos in SA1 and Eggman blowing up the moon in SA2 to fit the typical analog horror EAS format.

Unsure but it was still a guy who was the first Godzilla actor used which can still feel distasteful

Monument Mythos was stupid. The only creepy part about it I'll grant was the scene where the spikes were coming out the top of Mount Rushmore.

I don't even think the author knew where the hell they were going with it. At one point they just casually mention George Washington was found frozen and alive and then went nowhere with it.

Excepting Kane Pixels, I think analog horror was all downhill after Local 58. It's still the best IMO.

Watching The Man in the Suit in service of the people that keep up with the thread. I can tell that the Batman/DC analog was inspired by this one (down to the wonky phrasing) and I guess the reason the community glazes it so much is because the guy plays with audio distortion.

There's one entry to this analog that's hidden and I don't have the resources nor the energy to find out if it is simply a remake or something that isn't canon. What is for certain is that Unknowingly received hate because he geared the entire story around nuclear trauma, which to me at least seems as appropriate as making a story about German expressionism flicks centred on the fucking Holocaust.

Unknowingly never mentions the man in the suit by name, so Harou Nakajima is mostly sparred but while looking for the drama related to this analog I found that some people think the plot really happened. There are some brainlets out there that want to believe this is real. I haven't even touched on the fact that he tagged Hiroshima as the location of the first two videos and that the man in the suit lived there and lost his family to the bombings. Y'know what, maybe my German expressionism idea isn't in poor taste enough.

Let's get this out of the way. Hiroshima and Nagasaki aren't Prypiat. They recovered and are inhabited. Chances are that Fukushima will bounce back if the birthrates don't dip before it has the chance. What makes The Man in the Suit seem especially out of touch is that the titular man (who is losing his identity due to radiated lizard brain) is still used by Tohou for movies even though he is slowly losing his humanity and has a personal vendetta against America for dropping the bombs. One of the videos is him making threats in a tape he mails to the American guy piecing out the mystery. Is after this one that Unknowingly disabled likes.

For those of you that want a more straightforward synopsis: the guy that wears the Godzilla suit mutates and his entire anatomy and behaviour shifts to fit the suit. They initially believe is because of a fucking pill but the true culprit is radiation. Tell me if the description of a Japanese man progressively withering away because of radiation, with medical staff desperately trying to bring him back doesn't remind you of any real life events. Probably just me reading too much. The man, who identifies as Goji, is able to make the Angurius actor and Mosura actress mutate too by biting them. Most of the videos are delivered on the narrative device that the American guy chronicling this has spies at Tohou handing him shit. Tohou keeps these two around to make movies.

Do you remember how they changed Godzilla for the 1998 American movie? I get the impression that Unknowingly also felt the original design was too goofy because the man in the suit has bloodshot eyes, a disjointed jaw and baleen hair like a whale.

Unknowingly kills the concept with a whimper by administering shotgun to the noggin of the man in the suit. Unknowingly recycles some of the footage for his Makeship plushie campaign.

Remind me not to get on your bad side because petty people can be brutal.

I had to cut a whole paragraph bitching about one post telling me that there was already an analog horror thread (which I checked several times while making the OP to make sure there wasn't one) and I started writing my new bitching post when the new analog horror thread happened. I had to restraint myself from tagging that guy in the new thread. Hence why I wrote 'they can't do this'.

Speaking of prehistoric shit, there was a guy on twatter who made a twitter thread analog paleolithic (or prehistoric) horror. Concept was an interesting concept but overall not too good.

I ruined my capacity to enjoy that one when I realized it was made by a furfag. The design of the creature is superb tho.

Yeah, but at least it was funny on purpose. I maintain that the worst thing that happened to the MM was Wendigoon's video because Alex ruined everything Isaiah liked about it. Alex got so far up his own ass he made it about school shootings.

At one point they just casually mention George Washington was found frozen and alive and then went nowhere with it.

Alex could've solved the story easily by using his own rules had he made the Delaware Double the one that defeats the Horned Serpent by becoming a singularity.

I'm more concerned about the 1 dinosaur retweet to every 4 tweets about Elon Musk ratio.

Reminds me of SCP's "this isn't real" disclaimer, the fact that people might believe this shit is hilarious.

Had the same thoughts, just "oh this is cool as hell-and he's a furfag, fuck can no one normal make this shit?"

 

[Glory To Arztotska]

OP could have titled the thread "Tranalog" and only wrote "Analog"

How did they miiiiiiiiiiiiiiss?!

 

[Kyria the Great]

Honestly the only series I found to be engaging at all was White Stag Education. I love how much that it actually tries to be as much vhs quality, mostly live action, and the story so far is relatively simple to understand.

Greylock for me goes Abit too far in the sense of how convoluted it is though I will say the recorded therapy session is perhaps the only time I actually felt the emotion of unease and possible fear.

The rest is just spoopy distorted face of failed artists and mentally deranged trannies with delusions of getting merchandising.

 

[Blue Gem Kosher Queen]

In the spirit of me bitching about people ruining my capacity to enjoy unfiction projects, I'm going to bring another example that isn't an analog horror but more akin to world building that happens to try to look analogue and has some horror elements when you think about it.

Returning to the OP, you may recall that the analog horror community holds a strong anti-AI stance to the point that works that use AI pretty much exist on their own little corner. Some of the ones I've seen are unironically better than the so called good analogs and considering the main complaint about using AI is that 'they could've used it to write the story too' is impressive how without exception the ones that use AI have a better grasp on the English language.

The real subject of this post is Neural Viz or rather its series, the Monoverse. Chances are you know this one (seeing references to it here made me give it a chance) and I 100% recommend it because is some of the finest development of lore in the background masked by some of the most painfully realistic comedic writing I've seen in some time. Best part about it, you wouldn't gather that by just looking at the thumbnails and titles. It is a developing story and isn't very long so go check it out if you want.

What I want to bitch about here is the fan base. Do not check the comment section, you aren't going to find anything of worth there. Just endless repetition of catch phrases. Me checking the comment section is how I learned that Yugopnik (a breadtube faggot and one third of a podcast so comically antisemitic they were dropped by Nebula) is a fan of it. Tbf, apparently Metokur also watches it so it balances out.

Last upload as of writing of this post has a reference to tariffs and how one of the characters is using them to solve money problems. This is normal for the Monoverse because the whole gimmick is seeing the off the wall interpretations the characters have of stuff in our world and it also is funny. I noticed right of the bad and I enjoyed the episode because it simply used the concept of tariffs in service of the comedy. That didn't stop someone in the comment section from explaining how the entire episode was making fun of Trump's tariffs. People really want to read deep meanings in a series about smoking dirt and snorting teeth.

SpecEvo

ah yes, that wonderful field of fiction

I tried to get into it a good fifteen years ago and even then it was infested with this stuff. I absolutely adored The Future is Wild when I was little: I watched the dumb cartoon, every single documentary, both of them multiple times over for years. I think there even might've been a book or something that I read? Thinking about it, that might've just been a different SpecEvo thing, but I can't say for sure because I remember next to nothing about the entire affair.

The moment I got an internet connection I went and tried to find out more about this stuff... and found myself quickly becoming confused as to why every other post from the people who did this (on tumblr, of course) had something to do with men having boyfriends or some adult news article I couldn't understand yet.

I'm not surprised at all that it's just kept being shit all these years. It's like alternate history, I guess, if you just replace all the retarded autists (who believe that the nazis TOTALLY could've occupied America guys just trust me I made a thousand-row spreadsheet calculating it) with retarded communist pooners.

I think it might have to do with it being very heavily intertwined with anthropology and paleontology, both fields that have become overwhelmingly dominated by that awful subset of people.

Sucks regardless. I really wish I could get into this stuff but every time I try I get jumpscared with some dumb bullshit like that corvid communist revolution you mentioned. And gay furry OCs. And complaining about other peoples' gay furry OCs not being scientifically accurate enough. man.

There was a The Future is Wild tie-in book that even had a couple of original species. There's also the gorgeous manga, because the Japanese apparently love Dougal Dixon's spec evo.

What do you remember about the book? If it has aliens, it could be Wayne Harlowe. If it had dinosaurs or cryptids, it could be Darren Naish.

 

[Anonitolia]

What do you remember about the book?

As I said, almost nothing, but I think it might've had some kinds of dinos. I know I considered the whole book an "alien book" when I was little because I thought they were so weird and different that they would just be called aliens, but I'm pretty sure there weren't any actual grays in there.

 

[Captain Manning]

Yeah, but at least it was funny on purpose.

Was it? I guess I must've missed the joke then.

All the analog horror seems to be trying to be super serious.

Tbf, the Monument Mythos did both. Lemme explain what I mean.

• Everything about James Dean before the final season is said in a very matter of fact way. He celebrates becoming President playing bongos. Almost every video about him ends with him going to the racetrack. His response to people discovering a living George Washington in 1976 was literally 'I'm surprised'. One of his addresses is to say he is sending the Statue of Freedom to the Grand Canyon because 'the rocks can't shoot it down' right after the Capitol riots. His whole joke is that he is the Anti-Christ. The final season (which apparently was expunged) ruined that.
• The videos edited on MovieMaker that are family trips being harassed by a giant, disembodied head and Mr. Squirrel.
• Hilary Clinton's only known contribution in-universe is dropping a nuke on a giant crab that carries a cargo ship on its back.

Don't get me wrong. Casanas takes his work too seriously too and now about half of it is gone.

 

[Absolute-Despair]

If anyone is interested in SpecEvo I'd highly recomend the Alien biospheres series.

Excepting Kane Pixels, I think analog horror was all downhill after Local 58. It's still the best IMO.

Kane Pixels, content Local 58 and Gemini Home entertainment are probably the only notable things to come out of this fad.

I'll give special mention to Vita Carnis. The story is nothing special and it has every bad trope but I am a sucker for practical effects and they really go for it with their shoe string budget puppet monsters when every other one opts for full digital.
