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

It appears that coverage of unfiction stories doesn't directly translate into views for their creators, cause what's the point of watching the original videos if your favourite horrortuber has already shown you all the interesting parts?
It's often much worse than just showing the interesting bits or taking specific clips as citations for their theories. A lot of the ones I've seen will literally just mirror the entire series. I remember Night Mind did this a lot, it made the videos unwatchable because he would spend ages telling you what each video was, then showed the whole video unedited, repeat for the whole series, and then he just ends the video without even doing the bare minimum of theorizing. I'm not sure if he still does this.

Yet has the gall to tell people to watch the series for themselves as he doesn't give any incentive too
 
Might as well post this here too.

The Analog Horror Community got a spotlight on Youtube. They uploaded a video that showcases some Analog Horror videos, and here's the kicker.

At 2:29, UrbanSPOOK got featured. Talk about a huge case of irony there, folks. The Trump of the Analog Horror community still got recognition even after all the controversy. Don't even need to like the dude to realize how hilarious this is.

Of course, people aren't taking it well, especially considering the Mandela Catalogue, Gemini Home Entertainment, The Monument Mythos, etc (which, are arguably one of the pioneers of ((modern)) analog horror)) weren't showcased in the video whatsoever. Felt strange to me. You'd think they'd be the first shown. At least Local58TV was showcased.

Surprised me nonetheless. Didn't expect YouTube to recognize the Analog Horror scene like this.

Also, this was posted on October 4th. I don't know why they're just now putting this on my feed.

Oh, and Happy Halloween. Hope y'all find actual good horror stuff to look at compared to whatever Analog Horror has to offer.

God, I fucking hate night mind at this point.

I wanted to check out the welcome home stuff out of mild curiosity, and hey, I'd always watched his coverage of it before. I can sit through his faggot voice.

When I saw this, it made me fly into a blind rage. You try to sit there and get immersed but whenever something spooky happens, you see fucking sargent leatherhead on the side of the screen in his gay daddy bara vtuber rig.

I've complained before, but back then it was plausible deniability between his furry content and his main channel. Now? Watching his content feels like he is using you to jerk off without your consent. Like you stuck your hands in the drying machine in a bathroom and someone inside started rubbing their dick against it. Whatever sex pest vultures decided to invade the horror space need to be buried out back.
 
I found the Minecraft ARG I mentioned before:
There was one ARG that I liked though, and that was a real ARG cause the author was taking viewers' suggestions. It involved him encountering an unknown invisible mob, capturing it and performing experiments on it. But I can't find the link to the channel anymore and it was abandoned a couple of years ago.
I think it's a fresh idea that has potential, too bad the ARG hasn't been updated since 2021.
 
54 minutes long and voiced by a tranny. TL;DW?
Took a while but I managed to soldier through this one. It isn't the most autistic thing I have watched but it still is pretty autistic.
  • Title is, like with all video essays, clickbait. There isn't any argument in it that you can't just read here or any other place about analog horror.
  • M3ow (this faggot) divides analog into three generations: Gen 1 is the stuff most people respect and came before analog horror was recognized as such (Local 58, Gemini and FNAF/VHS). Gen 2 are the official analog originators (Mandela, Walten, Monument Mythos). Gen 3 are everything that came after them.
  • Despite including an analog horror community aka grifter ecosystem as said in the OP section and including the criticism that many of those grifters just summarize the plot and steal views, this faggot doesn't really make a callout (overall vibe of the video). He even defends the idea by saying that some people can be too scared to watch the thing by themselves. Same section has a defence of why every analog needs merch.
  • Outside of two analogs, he had a somewhat healthy mix of positives and negatives for each entry. It's pretty funny tho that he wasn't quite able to suspend his disbelief for Local 58's Contingency but glazed The Walten Files, The Monument Mythos, The Man in the Suit and Angel Hare (the only analogs he had nothing negative to say about).
  • Politely makes fun of The Mandela Catalogue and its clones. The worst thing Wendigoon ever did was gaslight zoomers into thinking that shit was scary.
  • Politely makes fun of all the backrooms content not made by Kane Pixels.
  • Politely makes fun of how interchangeable analogs have become, specially on how divorced they are from how analogue media works.
  • Says that The Smile Tapes looks like The Shinning when compared to The Painter (smile tapes was deemed a Mandela clone alongside basswood county).
  • The video doesn't dabble on any drama and feels quite incomplete because it has a shorter list of analogs than the OP.
 
damn, thanks for taking one for the team

it makes sense that he wouldn't chastise grifters. If he did, he'd have come off as a hypocrite.

I guess I'll give him props for the generational divide, though. It pretty neatly summates my experiences with the genre and what most people seem to experience lol. Walten Files still seems very new and strange to me. I wish that was still the case

I get that explanation as the reason why horror movie channels like FoundFlix is popular. But I think there is something else to consider with AH channels, OBSCURE AND DEEP LORE™️. With most movies you can usually digest a plot just by watching it, but with AH, the plot is scattered all about that you need to actively hunt for (if you watch Wendigoon's analog horror livestreams he has a whole autistic process when watching videos). You need to:
  • check for links to other relevant media in the video description,
  • be on the lookout for messages that flash for a single frame that are usually cryptic or coded,
  • remember a dozen poorly developed characters.
  • keep track of the timeline if videos are out of order.
  • God help you if the AH you like is tied to an ARG so you actually need to do more digging into random websites for info.

Granted, doing all that isn't "hard" for most people, but for kids it's a lot and for most casual watchers, they don't have the time or interest to do that. So I will give guys like Wendigo, Nexpo, and Nightmind a little credit in that they aren't just summarizing a straightforward plot. It is more like they are condensing all the little nibbles of plot and info and presenting it in one solid, easily digestible video that casuals can put on while they do something else.
