Do you think AAA horror games will follow the analog horror trend? There is a lot of cash to be made there and it seems only indie developers are taking a shot

Do you think AAA horror games will follow the analog horror trend?
No. Analog horror is a dead meme
This, analog horror is already boring as frick because all of them follow the exact same premise with only the background theme and big bad being different. They almost always have one or multiple of those tropes:
>child friendly media (usually a game or show) that's actually really spooky and evil and usually about a tragic murder of a group of people
>vhs tapes, either advertisements, training tapes or recordings of old shows
>the "scare" is that there's a spooky face with all sound muted for 3 seconds then the video continues on as if nothing happened
>an interview or transcript with a crappy looking photo of the person speaking and the text below the image
>crappy youtube video from the 2009 era but its actually spooky
>cuuuursed media that has an ENTITY inside of it
>entirely fictional unreleased video game with a spooky backstory (petscop was cool because it was high effort but the vast majority of those fictional games are visibly low effort unity turds)
etc
>liminal/empty spaces but there's SOMETHING in there with you ooooh scary (usually a niggur apparition)
>amateurish voice acting, clearly just a bunch of guys voicing everything with their crappy mics, bonus points if a character in their 50s sounds like a 20 year old
>AAA horror
fundamentally impossible
good horror relies on fear of the unknown, such a thing is impossible to achieve with any AAA as you'll have a swarm of autists catalogue the game in a week.
not to mention how there would have to be someone shilled as a mascot for the game.
>such a thing is impossible to achieve with any AAA as you'll have a swarm of autists catalogue the game in a week.
They do this for indie hsit also
AAAs will only ever do what is guaranteed, so maybe if you're right and the beaucoup bucks are indeed being made then eventually you'll start to see it, but I think indies are way too free-form to really be trendsetters, they produce more avantgarde genre defying shit that stays out the box on the regular than can be reasonably kept sustainable.
>video game famously known for being entirely digital
>analog horror
literally impossible mediums
Are zoomers really scared of VHS tapes and empty corridors?
Pls anon, give me an example of something scary, you seem to be an expert on the theme.
fixing your car
talking on the phone
touching grass
working a job
no screen time for 2+ hours (sleep does not count)
>Talking on the phone
Only genuinely scary thing listed, working a job makes the rest easier and then you just need to learn to disassociate for a few hours every work day.
Not that anon but
>A person that thinks they're nice and doing the right thing but they're actually psychotic sub-human "moral" busybodies that ironically lack any kind of real measurable empathy so no action is too immoral for them to do to who they deem as an "evil" person (you will often see this from twitter and tumblr users whether you use the website or not)
>Getting gaslit by people you once trusted when you try to tell them you're being abused
>Medical bills
>Dying alone in your house with nobody to come help you because of an accident minor enough to immobilize you, but not kill you, so you starve to death because your phone is not nearby at the moment
>Incurable diseases that have horrifying effects on your body, like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
>Excessive surveillance that robs you of basic autonomy and privacy
>Being raised to value fierce independence and individualism when really you're a mere demographic, not an individual; Nothing unique about you that you can say is truly *your* ideas, *your* wants, *your* dreams, but simply the product of people around you
>You are informed you're going to die soon, but you don't know what's going to kill you, when it's going to happen, and if you can even stop it
>The idea that you can give your all to something and really care about it but it won't pay off despite your efforts, either metaphorically, or literally, if you get laid off from a job you like
>A very angry person with contradictory instructions coming from their mouth that you cannot explain why are contradictory to them for it will incur further wrath from said individual who is unwilling to realize that what they want isn't realistic
>A person breaking into your home while you're sleeping with the intention of not just killing you, but torturing you first, for no tangible reason other than it amuses them, so they can't be reasoned with
>Hungry and thirsty, no money to satiate either of these issues
This is an honest embarrassment if you truly believe this, hilarious if you are posting reddit's top fears
this all sounds like a good time to me idk man but i'd win vs all this shit ez
talking to a pretty girl you like
For me it's being bitten by a zombie and turning into one
My cousins made me watch the Dawn of the Dead remake when I was like 10, that shit fricked me up big time
people like to attribute this to "zoomer horror" when it's literally made by and appeals to millenials
pic related
Where do you get that idea? I only see zoomers talk about this shit constantly thinking its high art
ELLEN
what's the generation born around 1870-1880 called?
he also has a crippling fear of shepherds
I think this shit's pretty neat, reminds me of the earlier days of SCP and creepypasta's before they got meme'd to death thanks to 173 and slenderman
Cept now each storyline is more contained and fleshed out
Zoomers are exclusively afraid of being raped. If you ever read a horror story written by a zoomer, it basically goes like this:
>I was in Walmart one time
>And there was a creepy homeless guy there
>And I think he was following me
>So I left
>And I never went back
>I could have been raped!
and you are not afraid of being raped?
Absolutely not, at least not after completing MGQ.
This ain't twitter, your normalgay cat reaction image has no power over me.
ok
Neither does this image, cause I know the backstory to it (also my local homeless dudes are extremely cool people I regularly give money to just because I like them)
It doesn't occupy my mind like that, no.
Zoomers are afraid of confrontation / rape because they are too scared / stupid to own a weapon.
The irony in saying this is that you’re revealing yourself as scared of confrontation since you feel the need to constantly carry a weapon around. There isn’t anything wrong with that, by the way.
someone should rape them
then they'd be less scared because it's not as bad as they thought
>it's not as bad as they thought
story time?
worse than that
"agender human" just kills me everytime
That picture is literally me though. I'd hate to go to some distant unpopulated area that has no internet reach. I think most people would hate that, especially Ganker dwellers.
Yeah spending a year in the woods isn't gonna be fun for me, but a week or two camping is a wonderful escape from technology
have a nice day zoomer
Except that image was a millenial
>snowflake gender
>described xerself as "an [x] human"
I mean I like civilization too but it's really nice to hop in the kayak and do a river trail for a few days with no screens or people texting you.
I live in the middle of nowhere. Satellite internet has been a thing for a long time.
Sure, but crying and panicking are something else entirely.
Brave New World
What like the Ring?
I don't know. Do you have irrational thoughts about something appearing in a closed space that will attack you?
Or maybe that second set of steps you hear behind you are not just you.
Just lock the door to your room incase, and do not turn around.
An empty hallway is common, but if you are already experiencing delusions, I'm sure you can make anything scary.
Will anything happen to you if you sleep with your window open? Probably not, but that doesn't mean something won't break in while you are vulnerable in sleep. Same sort of thing.
It's probably more than that, could be twisted nostalgia, the fact that their childhood wasn't as pretty as they remembered. Having fake memories in a place that makes you think you're at home but quite not, fear of not being alone when you wander a place alone.
I guess you could resume it as another cuthulu thing where the victim gets its mind scrambled until insanity takes it out.
yes, but don't forget dialup sounds.
>doot doot doot doot doot doot beep beep beep cht bl chr bl shhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHH *you've got mail*
peak horror right there
It is haunting and reminds them of days gone by, and a world they will never be able to experience.
It inspires fear in the zoomie.
Analog horror is entirely dependent on not being able to clearly see what's going on. That's at odds with AAA video game design.
>Do you think AAA horror games will follow the analog horror trend?
no

Kino but not scary. atleast not this footage. try again with the character. keep his flamboyant dark magician demeanor, and make him do something actually ghastly and abominable, nobody cares about a bunch of faceless mercs. killing babies is always impactful, but a bit of a low-hanging fruit. plus not everyone would recieve it well even if done properly.
My suggestion? make a video of him on a public NY streetside, walking past two pregnant women with large stomach indicating they're in their last trimester. they're chatting with eachother as walks past them, does his queer dance outside of their viewpoint, and POOF, their stomachs are visibly deflated and they just stare in shock for a moment before the panic kicks in.

SUBJECT 985 HAS ESCAPED CONTAINMENT
I'm honestly surprised that this isn't already a thing considering how easy it is to make these games, to please fans of analog horror and how easy it would be to just make it into a movie game. My only guess as to why this isn't the case right now despite the success of the genre in movies is because old boomers don't know about it yet.
> night mind is doing yet another haunted media ARG garbage again
Hasn't he been shit for a while now, anyways?
Yeah kinda, but he's still a good way to find horror web series worth watching
>mfw Angel Gabby
Shame about the second half of it though
>I'm honestly surprised that this isn't already a thing considering how easy it is to make these games
It is easy, but so far they sucked. Check the steam page and all you get is stream bait games used only as speedrun because the mechanics are shit, the animations suck ass, the texture and models are reused assets and the story is so mid an elementary school kid could come up with better plot.
Why does the analog horror "community" hate Urbanspook so much? there's so many videos dunking on his series but they'll praise Mandela for some reason.
He has rape and is kinda crass, they're "cleaner" compared to his stuff.
because anything scarier than goosebumps is too much for them
All bark no bite
because a serial killer also being vile and inhuman to its victims is too far for these social shut-ins and they think all psychopaths are just misunderstood bad boys and all they need is just love
it's every "community". they see someone who does their schtick in a different and (often times, not always) more interesting way, the community and/or those who think they speak for and lead it then feel threatened by this person they deem an outsider.
it mostly stems from jealousy.
I thought it was because of sensitivity but Greylock had child death and body horror so it's just stupid "not in the in-group" shit.
I don't remember Greylock having any kids dying.
Also I thought this series was pretty overrated but I must admit that last scene in the most recent video was really well done.
Because they grew up on FNAF and horror with bear puppets on it so anything violent or actually vile like child rape makes them too distressed
While I thought the new Greylock was good and hide the use of AI generated shit well I think the VA direction dropped the ball during that phone call part.
The horror gays will come for the comfy 90s office aesthetic next.
man why the frick cant offices go back to this, it was such a comfortable aesthetic
We already had that during the 2010s. There were a few office horror games already.
Do you not remember F.E.A.R? your pic is half the setting of that game.
Esoteric Columbinism
Why did SCP fail?
Every autist online adding their own moronic OC SCP to the wiki. Lore expanded into way beyond just "secret organization housing paranormal entities for research" into some multidimensional revenge hexagon shit. I love SCP, but only on its surface level.
trannies unironically
It didn't "fail". Things don't stay popular forever. It came and went.
>it-it didn't fail!!!
It doesn't seem curious to you that SCP suddenly lost all popularity after a CERTAIN GROUP of people forced themselves into it and took it over? When SCP was a popular and active phenomenon for years before that?
to be fair I don't butt neck crack statue ever becoming forgotten, same with 096 and niche mentions of 106
Not likely. The last time something like this was tried in a big established medium it turned around and bit them right in the ass. Analog Horror only really works as short, youtube series made by a few people at most.
It became overbloated with the worst writing imaginable by every autistic teenager on the planet.
I heard that movie was ass.
I heard this movie was 2 hours of nothing for one single jumpscare.
Surely they can't be serious.
They are. And don't call me Shirley.
skinamarink was great though
Heck was probably better
>It became overbloated with the worst writing imaginable by every autistic teenager on the planet.
the eventual fate of every good thing, ever
It went from somewhat believable secret organization who could barely keep track of space anomalies past the moon to extra dimensional super omega government that has fricking reality anchors, halo level AIs, a space fleet, robot armies, etc. The constant need to one up older scps lead to this. plus people rewriting old classic scps to fit modern sensibilities
It was doomed to fail from the start as it had little quality control but it was enjoyable for a while
>le quirky superpowered doctor self inserts plant the seeds for what would become the austimfest of today
>mods become openly biased by letting the homestuck troony satellite stay up despite everyone trashing it
>mods put up pride flags, not even as an in-universe joke, and keep them up long after the end of the june which causes a big influx of people to leave due to the hypocrisy of them being homosexuals about muh believability over the years and suddenly 180ing
>youtube videos of big scps get some normalgay attention but bring in the worst of reddit and tumblr to the site
>redditors lead to power level/creep autism, lorehomosexualry, and turning every page into a novel-length meta story
>tumblr brings in shit like the transphobic cheerleader's blog that turns girls into stereotypical valley girls, the acab donut store that makes cops shit pigs told in mspaint scribbles, and the one that's literally just Trump
>sometime around all this a guy made a literal meme scp but the mods gave it a pass because it was to honor Robbie Rotten's actor dying but this made low-effort joke scps be considered fair game and not be regulated to the scp___-J subsets.
Whose to say really?
I got banned from the SCP site for downvoting the homestuck satellite. I didn't even care it was a troony, I just hated the fact that it immediately dated itself with a dead comic from a part long after the comic stopped being good.
Mostly because the hyper influx of writers once SCP became really popular over the past few years has made weeding out good articles incredibly hard. I think we're in the 8000s now, and when most of those articles have a good chance to not be interesting, why bother? There's probably shit loads of great SCPs buried in there but there's just too many to look through and not enough time to do it.
>that one SCP that's a house that has a penis and is sad that it can't be a specific girl who coincidentally has the same "name" as the writer
>that one SCP that is literally just a room that gives you free therapy and HRT

Why am I not surprised?
There's also the shapeshifting reality bender that poses as the victim's friend then talks to you about gender dysphoria, then leads the victim to a lake that makes them change gender magically, and the author goes out of their way to portray the foundation as evil for trying to contain it.

The backrooms were never cool, zoomie
The Backrooms but it has a low battery smoke detector that is almost always close by but you could be wandering for days before you find it. Once you do, you realize it's too high up on the ceiling and you have no screwdriver. You look away and it's not there anymore, and it chirps in the distance.
Later you come across a black guy also stuck there, and he doesn't hear it.

Why people find this scary? My first thought is "oh, a labyrinth!"
I fricking love labyrinths. I used to draw them a lot on paper as a kid.
/x/ got bored and all that was left was weirdos and then trannies.
normalgays/alphabet soup people cant into good writing and the userbase of good writers was forced out by trannies.
im afraid it really is that simple.
Like any other niche things: it gets popular, fell out because it's old and irrelevent to today's trend and the community gets revived with a flood of newbies who can't understand the appeal but uses it as canvas to plop their OC as a mark of what they love.
most original contributors go bored an left, eventually it gets discovered by redditors, and in typical redditor "I made this" fashion, any remaining OG contributors were pushed out for having the Ganker ick
"Cinematic univers' just doens't work with creepypasta monsters.
Adding SCP lore to all the SCPs ruined them as potential scares.
Oh and troons took over, but that's just maggots infesting a corpse
troons
just like Ganker and most.hobbies, trannies and im being unironic.
it's stuoid to beliebe that an organization that trwats humans as fodder would care so much about degenerate pedos who want to play dress up
other than this thread i have never heard of any scp things related to trannies
you are obsessed
disingenuous
this Black person is moronic
Gee I wonder why you'd resort to namecalling instead of posting proof
Everybody replying trannies is a fricking moron that didn't pay attention to it until after it was "ruined" and is about to run at me swinging something sharp, trailing tears and bleating that they were the oldest of oldgays for it
SCP is at about the same overall quality level it always has been, which is "a few gems in a pool of feces". There's sooooo much selective memory that goes on with the SCP Foundation stuff. SCP-682 alone was supposed to be taking the piss out of overpowered Godzilla SCPs and did it by becoming the standard by which all others are judged, and if epin originalgays were as wise and creative as people like to make them out to be they wouldn't have written 682 at all because it's pouring gasoline to douse a fire. It changed with the times and the people moaning about it don't like the times.
All humanoid SCPs are garbage, all doomsday SCPs are garbage, almost all monster SCPs are garbage.
>Everybody replying trannies is a fricking moron
Did somebody forget about the fricking homestuck loving SCP?
Is someone cherrypicking and he knows it? One of the proffered origins of the SCP Foundation is outright an archangel guarding the gates of biblical Heaven. That's complete trash and it was written in 2008.
>He didn't like the SCP angel
Holy shit taste Batman.

Dragon Ball Z being mixed with creepypasta/Analog Horror stuff is such a fricking weird idea.
I can't hate zoomer's horror. I'm kind of glad that it exists, tbh.
We 90' kids had a good run with horror aimed at children in the mainstream tv. Then it was no longer profitable and it banished for years until recently with youtube.
I may be wrong, but I always considered early creepypastas to be niche.
Frankly, by the time an AAA analog horror game is made, I'm going to be sick of the genre at this rate. How would one even translate analog horror to a video game anyway unless you just made a FNAF ripoff where you look over a bunch of haunted camera footage?
I can count on one hand the amount of analog horror series I actually wish to see more of right now and for all of them it's not because I'm scared of them it's because I wanna know what happens to the characters in the plot.
I also don't think horror is engaging as a genre unless you put "action" before the word "horror", the only horror experiences I even enjoy nowadays are the ones where I can blast a monster to pieces because once you've hid in one closet to hide from a serial killer/ghost/monster and them subsequently ran from room to room from them it feels like you've done it in every game. The only game that feels like it was engaging with me doing this was Phasmophobia and Lethal Company because even when you stop being scared of the monsters you still have a game to play underneath it all that isn't just a walking simulator.
Analog horror died already. We have a power vacuum regarding horror and we've had it for over a year
I pray for cosmic/existential horror to make a comeback. Astronomy is normie territory now so AI, dark forest theory, other dimensions or some other science moronic shit should take over
with AI video on the horizon I wonder what sort of things people will come up with the tech. it’s already uncanny by default, a horror renaissance like no other before may be upon us..
>A.i shit
I'd honestly rather stick to stupid photopshop shit instead at least the requires a bit of effort.
>another thing an AI pajeets tries to force as a "renissance"
>the analog horror trend
Is this even a thing anymore?
If they did it would symbolize the utter death of the genre... which is already is fricking dead and awful so that would be pretty concerning
Not enough money in Analog. That or they'll hilariously misunderstand it.
Analog horror isn't even scary at all.
Not sure DBD counts as AAA or AA but they've picked it up.
I think I'm finally a boomer. I legit can't tell if I'm being trolled by the anons calling all this shit "horror". I think this is what my parents felt when people were calling Paranormal activity scary, I remember my dad falling asleep halfway through cause he was bored out of his mind.
Analog horror purely exists for comfy Wendigoon videos at this point
I don't think that analog horror can be made into a video game tbqh.
Dude I saw this thumbnail out of the corner of my eye in the catalog and almost had a panic attack. It's such a visceral and uncanny image. It really has a powerful effect on you.

What modern analog horror is even scary nowadays? The flash game one looked promising but dropped the subtlety real fast, even mandala catalogue shitted the bed with the life action shit.
Don't know if non-swedes know this one, but I had nightmares about this weird-looking frick
One time I saw a home decor ad on the internet that depicted one of those stock rooms with nice matching designs and furniture, but what looked like blood was smeared on the wall, hidden in the back corner of the room "TERROR" or some shit. This was just on some random ad and I could never find it again. It's like that image of that dude's room someone posted on /b/ years and years ago with the dead woman in the bottom left corner.

Nexpo completely ruined analogue horror for me. Now, when I see VHS tracking distortion, I just hear his homosexual overdramatic narration and annoying overused and unnecessary…dramatic pauses. I don’t think that he knows how…dramatic pauses work.
“Even though I’m like 40, I think that this blatant Five Nights at Freddy’s zoomer bait ripoff is really…scary. Now, I’m going to spend the next hour pulling theories out of my ass in an attempt to demystify something that was meant to be vague and unsettling for the sake of my…zoomer audience.”
One of my favourite moments was where he talked about some shitty "arg" that would lead you to some le spooky site and then went on to basically explain that how its connected to a domain scammer getting companies to buy out domain websites and using this "scary mystery arg" to get attention, but because such a mundane explanation would not be SCAAAARY he then starts going "I mean, I dunno, its just one of the theories, you never know, maybe this is actually some scary deranged serial killer or the website is cursed and has a ghost in it, who can tell?"

Gemini Home Entertainment and Vita Carnis are the only ones I could see making good video games about. since you've got a lot of cool monsters you can make into game enemies and shit.
Make a Resident Evil/Darkwood styled game for GHE and I'll give it a go.
>Vita Carnis
didn't this go to shit?
I don't think so at least. He put out the whole main series at once instead of doing it piecemeal over time. He's put out a couple of things since but really not much except a season 2 announcement 3 months ago.
I like the concept as it is right now but I think it has a very high potential to go to utter shit with the inclusion of the really big monsters. I like the premise that it's just some thing that popped up a while back and there's a whole weird ecosystem that's killing everything and we don't know what it is or where it came from. As soon as those questions start getting answered it will almost certainly become boring.
It's just not believable in the slightest though. You're telling me that there are monsters that exclusively feed on humans and they've been known to exist for decades and we haven't systematically exterminated them? Red weed be damned, the people would rise up against the govt and armed mobs would be destroying the vein farms when they start popping out mimics
vita carnis always wanted to storygay unlike mandela and the focus was always on creatures first, same is with gemini honestly but gemini's setting is naturally more horror like

Legit made me scared of the dark for a month. The idea of a mimic that will look look like a human to get around unconscionably while stalking you to learn your habits and then finding a way to hide somewhere it knows you will be completely alone so it can attack and eat you is pretty paranoia inducing when you live alone.
I only like Vita Carnis on a technical level with it's usage of practical effects and puppetry. I couldn't get invested in the story it's trying to tell.

I know Mandela Catalogue is a meme that nobody takes seriously, but the idea that Lucifer ultimately won and poses as as the true savior is genuinely terrifying tbh. Not sure how you could translate that to a game.
I always fricking laugh when people try to make Makima spooky in any way. She’s literally a cartoon villain with her ideas of saving humanity through having Pochita erase Death and other bad shit, but the fact that there’s a community who thinks she’s scaaaarrryyy actually just makes me think they’ve never read CSM before. Get this garbage out of here.
I think it has more to do with the fact that she's nearly omnipresent, and could kill or brainwash you in a second. That part at the beach with Aki prior to the Gun Devil attack fricks me up tbh. What a horrible fate.
also read the manga again, cuz she didn't care about humanity.. all she wanted was love from someone she saw as an equal to her. someone who happened to be pochita
Here is my reaction when I picked the manga up
Her goal of trying to save humanity via fricking over bad Devils directly ties into her need for wanting an equal. Even Nayuta considered her plan for unleashing Pochita as her main goal. Regardless of that though, she’s not scary in the broad sense, especially when you consider the laundry list of Devils in CSM that exist.
>Puppet Devil that takes away your free will and just absorbs your consciousness into a melting pot of nothingness, only letting you free to experience cheap torture
>Falling Devil whose entire gimmick is making you experience your worst memories so you “fall” into the far reaches of space, assuming you don’t die slowly on your way out of the atmosphere
>Curse Devil who gruesomely tears its victims apart while being completely invisible to them and those surrounding, so in their eyes they’ll feel nothing but a surge of fear as an unknown force quickly snuffs out their life
>Fiends in general are terrifying due to the fact that they’re possessing dead bodies and can easily use that to attack someone’s family after concealing themselves, and the fact that in their minds, they’ll be committing nothing but harmless acts
Even the basic Devils like Bat, wienerroach, Typhoon, and Eternity are more scary since, instead of being like Makima where 9/10 times you won’t even die and will actually enjoy yourself since anyone under her control is happy, they will attack and kill based on nothing but pure animalistic instinct. Being looked at down the hall by amber eyes is scary in the sense that someone you don’t know is around so you MIGHT be in danger, being chased down by a massive beast that just finished tearing the flesh off of your friend’s face because he got too wienery is scary because you ARE in danger.
So the whole manga is about her wanting to frick a dog?
you're just mad because it is a popular female character being portrayed like that
you'd been creaming your contrarian pants otherwise
?
But plenty of chick Devils in CSM do the horror aspect a thousand times better? Falling and Santa ARE genuinely frightening.
Isn't that just agnosticism, though?
>Lucifer ultimately won and poses as as the true savior is genuinely terrifying tbh. Not sure how you could translate that to a game.
...
They didn't won though.
Mating press makima!
The citadel has something like that, although all of it is in the author's head and not in the game itself
maybe he'll put more lore into the sequel though
Well we do live in a israeli hell world where israelites are mutilating children and trying to pass laws to seize kids from parents who refuse to go along with talmudic ritual castration, so like what more did you really need? Demons openly serving on the cabinets of every political office? Statues of baphomet in courthouses and capitol buildings? Underground tunnels full of child sized rape mattresses being discovered underneath israeli buildings?
what? Like in that John Carpenter movie Prince of Darkness?

>zoomers are actually terrified of being the only person in a building
Fricking bugmen lol
I think it depends on the context. KNOWING that you’re alone can be scary since, once that silence is disturbed you immediately realize that somewhere that might’ve been secluded is now occupied by someone who might not be all that friendly. It makes your mind race, it makes you consider more and more outlandish possibilities, and that can happen even if you don’t know that you’re fully alone. Anything that disturbs our peace will naturally make us wonder about possibilities that, although impractical, are worrying enough for us to get our hearts racing. I know that this is just a bait post and you don’t actually hold any nuance or opinion on the topic because you seek attention as opposed to a conversation, but it’s just something to consider.
I'm pretty sure I gave some people heart attacks back in my uni days with that shit. I used to pull all-nighters in the lab, wearing only pants. The halls had big windows so anyone on the street and in other rooms could have seen me, at least as a silhouette. Just imagine some half-naked goblin creeping through the building.
Kek, for whatever reason this image freaked the frick out of me last night but when I saw the thread this morning I audibly keked.
As someone who grew up watching creepy animations from Cyriak, Chriddof and Cool3DWorld I think people have the wrong idea about horror. It should be offputting ONLY in certain contexts and hilarious at other times.
When games glitch out, for instance, it's often funny as frick, but when you never expect it like in that one MLB game it's horrifying. The cheese grater man is now funny but again, in the right scenario nothing scares me more than coming across that dude.
>analog horror
Manhunt is the closest thing i can imagine what an Analog Horror inspired game would look like, if just for the fact that the premise of the game means you get to use old security cameras as a framing technique for cutscenes and executions and how the end credits reveal the snuff film/game is just recorded over a kids show on VHS
Really that's all the Analog Horror trend actually is, more of a framing device than a gimmick or necessity, most series that use it can be easily told without trying emulate old tech with annoying filters and stock sound effects
i was thinking of creating some analogue horror about a disease that causes growths of nerve-filled flesh sacks on people
essentially they are like beacons of horrendous pain, just pure ultra-concentrated agony tumors that, due to their anomalous nerve structure, cause more physical agony than ordinarily biologically possible.
like imagine a fist-sized one growing out of your side. even it sagging under gravity cause suicide fuel pain.
the pain would also increase proportionally to how big it was, and big twist would be that it's a disease from the stars, and an alien organism that's just one big nerve/pain sack the size of a small moon is passing through our solar system somehow causing it.
what do you think Gankerros
sounds like cancer
nah cancer usually doesn't hurt itself; it's sort of just dead weight that's rerouting resources meant to sustain your actual organs.
which means, anons, if you find a lump and it hurts, that's good news. if it's a lump and it doesn't hurt, go to the doctor immediately because that's very bad.
captcha can suck my wiener
that'd be the idea, it's not high brow horror or art it's just grossout stuff that makes you feel awful to think about
>good news
well, not good news. just not as bad as painless lumps. still go get it checked out anons, and remember to drink plenty of water.
anyways goodbye anons i must go run errands thank you for sharing this thread with me, we will always be brothers
Explaining the mystery kills the mystery. Better to answer questions by answering what it isn't, or by creating links that create new questions.
>it's just grossout stuff that makes you feel awful to think about
That's not good horror at all though. It's just something you wince at, go "That's gross" and then move on with your day. You can invent something that kills you in the most painful ways possible by just thinking about it but that's not scary, just excessive.
This just sounds uncomfortable, not scary.
>Gankerdeo kojima creates cancer
BRAVO, KOJIMA
sounds generic and boring, muh aliens from outer space fricking us up is like half the plots of these things. It's more interesting if it has no explanation, fear of the unknown you fricker
Could be cool but I don't think it would be a very long series since the premise is pretty basic
I don't know what that nog is up to but I'm going to subway for a meatball sub.
I honestly think this was better than most horror movies in the last 10 years
I don't get why Ganker hates it just cause they decided to hate everything featuring liminal spaces
It was good but it could've been like 1/3 the length it was
Well I don't find the backrooms particularly scary because I just feel nothing about "oooh spooky office corridors with no furniture" and considering it's by the same creator I can see why some people would feel prejudiced about it from the start.
With that said I think the buildup and atmosphere was fantastic, I think the fact that I couldn't tell the whole mall and staircases was CGI at first was genius, and I think the whole premise of the old abandoned mall and giant statue inexplicably finding a new life in a strange place is unique and interesting. He also did a good job not overplaying the giant.
The premise is spooky. I thought it was well done for a one man project. The fear with the backrooms and the like is more the fear of the unknown. You are lost there with no food or water, no way out, an the feeling that "something" might be there. The familiar environment just makes it more unsettling.
Needlessly long, basically. Some lost potential for horror when he was scouring through maintenance tunnels and backrooms, they were ripe for subversion instead of feeling safe because lolgiant too fat to fit!
If I was in a mall with nobody around, I would seriously consider pissing off of the second floor just to hear the sound of my pee hitting the ground echo across the building.
Yeah but that's kind of what analog horror does. It takes a horror story and presents it as lost media to give it more credibility as discovering information that has just been uncovered.
Lots of that is though old home videos, safety training videos, infomercials, company audio logs, old documents, kids shows, pamphlets, xray photos, surveillance cams, etc.
Manhunt would fit in that under vhs home video snuff tape recorded over old kids show.

Any good horror games that actually gives you pure atmospheric fear and tension instead of spamming you with scripted jump scares every other corner?
The market is so filled with the latter that I gave up completely on looking for horror games.
yes
Can you guys recommend me some good horror movies? Something more sci fi and/or mysterious than your standard slasher flick.
Horror films by John Carpenter
Why is it that a lot of analog horror ends up being a wet fart within a year or two despite starting off with a relatively nice premise?
The more something is explained the less scary it gets
It's self-defeating

UrbanSpook’s analog horror series is one of the only good ones. Even if he goes so over the top with the violence that it eventually borders on parody.
Serial killers are way more interesting than “what if children’s media was evil”. I have no idea why cryptids and haunted kids media are the most common types of analog horror, when more realistically, it would be something like snuff films that would account for what ACTUAL analog horror would look like.

It’s true that horror is rarely 100% realistic, but it’s usually grounded in some degree of plausibility to imply that it COULD happen.
The more absurd something gets, the harder it is to retain that sense of plausibility. The Mandela Catalogue for example starts out plausible enough (“what if God wasn’t REALLY God?”), but the more lore they add to it, the dumber it gets.
Buy an ad urbansperg
Because monsters = deepest lore and rules. And analog horror in general is small bite sized pieces that are easily digestible while giving the illusion of watching something you are not supposed to be. Crypteds on camera does make sense but it shouldn't be as common as it is. Also “what if children’s media was evil” is such a boring and over done concept that did nothing new in the last 8 years yet is still popular.
Go play limbus company and then you will understand.
>Go play limbus company

Urbanspook could honestly be the best analog horror if he hired a decent writer his music and imagery are fantastic but the writing feels like the writing of a 12 year old who watched too many SAW films
UrbanSpook is amusing to me. I imagine he's some SA ESL making these types of videos as a way to vent about the brutality of his environment.
His writing was fine up and struck a good balance between shock value and suspense/mystery. Pigs is where it started to go downhill.
Pigs is when he jumped the shark in terms of the kills going into the territory of utter ridiculousness. Family was by far the worst in terms of this absurdity.
Family is the best one that phone call was so scary even gays who hate the series can't say anything bad about the phone call
The phone call was great, but the murder of the family before that was just absolutely ridiculous. Family would be a great episode of it was just the murder of the Kindergarten teacher over the phone.
Getting raped by a horse in Pigs is the furthest he should have gone in terms of absurdity IMO, and even that was severely pushing it.
Also, I always felt the actual murder mystery/ hunt for the killer was a lot more interesting than the kills themselves anyway.
I still find it crazy that people really seemed to enjoy it till that gay who made Mandela Catalogue got butt mad about it
Cancel culture is a real thing
The fact that the mandela catalouge retconned his story because of urban spook is great and will never not be funny
what happened?
>Mandela Catalogue guy spergs out saying urban spook is exploiting rape, suicide, ect in poor taste
>Urban spook points out that his story is centered around suicide with other entities driving people to suicide
>Catalogue then retcons his story so the entities murder people instead of driving them to madness and suicide.
wow as if the catalogue wasn't really gay and moronic to begin with
it's now lame
That's so fricking lame
Monsters that make you have a nice day out of pure horror and madness is a well used and disturbing trope
Isn't the fricking point of horror to explore dark topics?
mandela catalogue guy is unironically one of those 'fiction affects reality' zoomers
Fiction arguably does have an affect on reality, but not in the way that the Mandela Catalogue guy thinks.
I’d bet money that he wouldn’t care about the themes UrbanSpook was exploring if it wasn’t for him parroting what the media told him to parrot.
Why did he do it in the first place then? Sounds like he just had a sperg moment at the Urbanspook guy then fricked his own series out of spite
Groomed by twitter midwits. Like a year or so ago he was railing on e-girl shit for being problematic
QRD?
the homosexual posted "you should never have rape on your horror" or some shit on twitter like that and spiraled, he unironically believes is the leader of the horror comunity
with better writing sure
some fricking psycho with plot armor going around brutalizing people is more unnerving than
>the moon is evil
for the 400th time
You can shoot the psycho and they will die, can't say the same about the moon.
The extreme over the top nature is the appeal of the story and i don't understand why people that don't like that insist on shitting on the series when it's clearly not made for them
Idiots who don't understand something tend to shit on it instead of just ignoring it like a normal person would
Like I think Palworld is ass but I'm not going to go into Palworld threads to sperg about it
I actually really enjoyed KanePixels backrooms videos. They're just the right level of unsettling, and he doesn't do the homosexual "explain away the horror" shit that other backrooms media falls into the trap of. Highly recommended
Vita Carnis is the only good analog horror series. You can tell some actual thought went into the shit beyond
>and then there are these skinchanging demon aliens from hell or whatever
The biggest issue with analog horror is half of this shit either doesn't need to be on a VHS tape or its just Ben Drowned all over again.
Surprised no one mentioned Valle Verde, it's probably the most high effort I've seen out of all game related analogue horrors. Granted not super scary.
>guy makes a fictional game within a game with a fully intro cinematic that looks like something Capcom could've made in the PS1 era
Legit was convinced it was an actual game. Dudes stuff is easily the most professional I've seen for analogue horror, that shit can't be easy.
I recommend Basswood County to anyone who likes UrbanSpook's art. It's another analog horror that's unashamedly just trying to spook you with disturbing drawings that doesn't care much for muh heckin lore
>basswood
I've seen so many of these shit analog horrors with stupid uncanny valley faces that actual spooky faces are unbelievably rare

I'm old and I don't get what's scary about this shit nor have I ever understood why people jizzed themselves over scps.
Analog horror is going the way of SCP where it started with potential but the space has been taken over by gays who want their horror to be PG rated at the most. It's already reached the point where they use their cult like fans to bully channels who refuse to follow their arbitrary rules of what's too scary and not allowed.
My biggest problem with horror nowadays is just how needlessly fricking LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG, verbose and drawn out fricking everything is, the Rolling Giant was especially egregious with this. Despite enjoyying it overall it felt like I was watching an urban exploration vid for most of it. Same shit with Creepypastas that begun wasting half the fricking story detailing the social circles of every fricking disposable hunk of meat that shows up in the story instead of getting straight to the point.
Trim the fat people.

>Need youtubers to tell them what to think the story is, doing the writing for the author.
it's a very technically impressive video but not scary at all when you remember the dude is a fricking moron that went down a stairway to hell despite all sense saying "TURN BACK DIPSHIT"
This is why I like Gemini home Entertainment the best sure it's got LORE but it's very easy to understand and the main focus is on the spooky shit
Compare that to the Monument Mythos that went up it's own butthole with all the dumb lore
My issue with that series is why is half of that stuff even being shot on a shitty VHS tape? It doesn't make sense half the time for it to be edited the way it is.
What did fat people do to you? Why do you want to trim them?

IDK how controversial this option is, but good horror doesn’t need to be scary— It just needs to be interesting and give you food for thought.
The reason most analog horror sucks is simply because the stories they tell aren’t interesting. Not helped by the fact that they take place in alternate universes where the events they describe are highly unlikely to ever happen.
>but good horror doesn’t need to be scary— It just needs to be interesting and give you food for thought.
This is what I think too.
Dead Space isn't that scary but it's still one of my favourite horror games of all time so I agree with you
I think most people are just tired of the same tropes and cliches being used all the time and how pussy the analog horror community is while they desperately try to pretend they are big brained and mature.
Modern horror in general is totally spineless by in large.
Campy slashers and giallo movies from the 70’s and 80’s are genuinely more shocking and provocative by today’s standards.
The problem with modern horror is that it’s popular with people who don’t actually like horror and just want horror to be badly made arthouse films that have vague enough plots to provide fuel for headcanons and theories.
Also, the stigma against jumpscares is a huge part of why horror went to shit. Yes, there are a lot of cheap and shitty jumpscares out there, and it’s also shit when all of the horror comes just from jumpscares, but I think people have forgotten that jumpscares can still be a powerful tool when used effectively. Of course, the real reason people removed jumpscares is because they were too pussy to handle them (probably due to being traumatised by screamers in the early internet days).
>The problem with modern horror is that it’s popular with people who don’t actually like horror and just want horror to be badly made arthouse films that have vague enough plots to provide fuel for headcanons and theories.
So that's the reason why zoomies love Silent Hill and think SH4 is an underrated classic
SH4 is an underrated classic you try hard zoomer.
I don't completely disagree, though it should at least try. I personally haven't been legitimately afraid of horror media in ages, but I still love the atmosphere and themes.
I can understand why analogue horror might resonate with Gen X and early-Millennials, because children's entertainment back in the day was fricking creepy. They used to show "Today's Special" on early Nick Jr. in the late-80s/early-90s, and I have vague memories of having full-on night terrors of being murdered by the cast of the show. Don't even get me started on Sid and Marty Kroft.
I don't know what Zoomers are on about though. All their shit is super safe and sanitized.
Frick you, this was legitimately unnerving in it's context and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't
It's even more cringe in context.

This one is great even if it is about Slenderman
I genuinely have no idea how this shit took off. Every single time I tried to watch Analog Horror I would laugh my god damn ass off because the jumpscares are so bad and zoomers clearly have no idea how the frick VHS technology works.
>audio starts skipping like it's a fricking scratched DVD or a computer program that froze
The fudk out of here with that.
It's even better when they try to make a N64 or a PSX analog horror thing and have no idea how that technology works either. The cop out excuse is that its "haunted" or that the technology they used was too far ahead of its time.
It was a process where we started with a bunch of obscure ARG series in the 2000s which went into Marble Hornets that kicked off the slenderman trend.
Then around he same time FNAF came into prominence and started the modern Lore Horror game genre and the two trends existed alongside each other for a while.
Then Local 58 came out with Gemini following after and inspired by those a dude made FNAF analogue horror which brought the FNAF kiddies (now late teens) into the mix.
Then the Mandela Catalogue came out and all of those recently introduced into the horror sphere kids were introduced to it via the youtube algorithm and the the res is history.
You haven't forgotten about her, have you?

Never

>I can get how mascot horror can be scary but who the frick finds analog horror scary?
I'm the exact opposite. Local 58 is still one of the scariest pieces of online horror I've ever seen while I can't for the life of me understand how anyone finds crap like Bendy and the ink machine or Poppy's playtime or most of the FNAF games scary.
the original first fnaf game is unironically good. Everything after is fricking garbage
I agree with you. that's why I said most FNAF games aren't scary but the first FNAF is honestly really good and effective horror. too bad it spawned so much gay shit but on it's own it's a fantastic little horror game.
all the copycats needed to do was ton down the goofy shit, keep things believable, and keep shit spooky with the realistic looking visuals. FNAF 2 spawned all the copycats but took a step in the wrong direction by having the animatronics look too clean
That's just, like, your opinion. FNAF (and the copycats) made obscene bank considering the budget that went into it. Just because they are not the "epitome of horror" in your subjective opinion does not mean they did something wrong. You are welcome to make your own horror game, just don't be surprised if no one buys it.

This thread got me thinking about the difference between zoomer horror and boomer horror. Sorry for the essay but I think it is worth reading it if you enjoy the topic of horror.
I think there are two differences: how believable it is, and the potential for horror once you are immersed.
Boomer horror has very believable premises. It's your run-of-the-mill ghost story, exorcist story, serial killer story... So it is easy to immerse yourself into it. However, even when you are immersed, you can only become so much afraid. Everything happening in a boomer horror movie/game is targeting its characters. At no point does the story try to make (you) an actor.
Zoomer horror, on the other hand, is way less believable. Half of the time it's something like "know this very common celebrity, historical monument or website? well actually it was a cosmological eldritch horror all along!". It is very hard to believe in it.
Zoomers can suspend disbelief with ease because they are still young. But when boomers see such crazy premises, they become bitter (because they realize they are not young anymore) and dismiss it. "Pfft, this is pathetic, do zoomers really believe in this premise? Holy cow this generation is doomed..."
But the alluring part of zoomer horror is that, IF you can get past the "suspend your disbelief" part, it will make you feel unsafe in a way boomer horror never tried to. In zoomer horror YOUR life is in peril. Yes, you, watching everything unfold behind the screen. Maybe by opening the video you will become the next target of the eldritch horror. Maybe by watching footage of it in the screen you can go insane. The story is always trying to convince you that (you) are in danger. IF you can get immerse din the story, you will feel way more horror and dread than you would with any boomer horror story.
So for instance, in this thread there are many boomers laughing at the OP picture because it is "just a distorted image". Because they couldn't get themselves immersed in the premise.
But if you accept the premise, if you truly let yourself go of any disbelief and immerse yourself in everything the premise brings, then that picture can be quite spooky. By seeing the impostor (you) could be in danger. It reminds you that your impostor is hidden somewhere next to you, just waiting for you to lower your guard. The premise of the Mandela Catalogue is to inform you that Lucifer won and pretends to be a savior just for shits and giggles, and it presents this as something that is happening in real life. If you can get immersed in this for just a few seconds, it will be an amazing experience of dread that boomer horror can't replicate.
>please notice meeee
Here, beggar: don't spend it all at once.
I'm just trying to discuss a realization that I've never seen discussed before, but of course no one on this website will read a post longer than 3 lines.
you can't make moronic distorted faces scary
tis ain't 2003 anymore b***h
>no answer to the points I brought
>le this cat is a evil world destroyer he will kill all your friends and family because uhhhh Christianity
>zoomer horror is poorly written and boomer horror isn't
Yeah we got jt, wveryone knows this already. You didn't need to write a novella about it.
No moron, zoomer horror is imaginative and tries to make (you) feel the thrill of being hunted, it tries to make you feel like the plot could leak to real life and target you. Boomer horror is grounded and doesn't try to make you feel like you're part of the story.
Zoomer horror is imaginative and poorly written.
Boomer horror is not poorly written.
Your argument is literallly "just turn your brain off bro!"
Resident evil is boomer horror and that shit is highly unbelievable. So is Silent Hill, zombie movies and ghost movies depending on your faith.
>Resident evil is boomer horror and that shit is highly unbelievable
Anon resident evil rolls with a zombie premise. It's the most cliche of all horror premises. "Oh no we accidentally created a virus that turns people into zombies". There's hundreds of media with that premise. Very believable for horror media standards.
By "believable" I am not saying you would believe it is actually happening IRL. I think the better word for it is "how easy is it to call the whole premise moronic". You can't say resident evil is moronic, but you can easily say that analogue horror is moronic. "Haha you're saying if I look at the moon I'll go insane? Lmao zoomers actually fall for this"
>You can't say resident evil is moronic
Everyone literally calls resident evil moronic though. The difference is Resident evil is enjoyed by a wide range of people and does interesting and fun things despite its outlandish premise.
Anon I don't think you understand the point of this conversation
Do you?
t b h RE is barely even a horror series, up until 7 only 1 and 2 are explicitly horror, everything else is just action schlock
so what you're saying is that Zoomer horror video games are redundant
what
video games inherently make the player an actor in a way that films or shows can't and Zoomer horror's main draw is being able to make the viewer feel in danger
Anon just because you are controlling a character does not mean you feel unsafe in real life.
For example, when playing Resident Evil 7 I am deeply immersed in the horror story (it is in first person even). But if I pause the game and go get some water I won't be afraid of turning around the corners of my own house.
zoomer horror doesn't do that either, like a lot of internet horror shit, it's interesting but not scary mostly because they are so busy documenting that they forget it's supposed to be horror
>Mandela guy retcons his whole series just to have the moral high-ground
Absolutely pathetic lmfao
What really absolutely scared me about Luigi's mansion, the first one, is when the entire power of the house goes out.
I had to stop playing for a couple of days to gather the courage to continue on, once I even shut down the Gamecube out of me being a complete wuss and being too afraid to continue.
Man reading Tasogare online was such a jumpscare frickfest since you had to click on each image or next page over and over again, and then Shadow Yuuko just pops up out of no where in the middle of an otherwise innocuous scene. Definitely had my ass spooked a couple of times after letting my guard down looking at prime Yuuko breasts.
~~*AAA*~~ games are dogshit
>Here's your AAA Horror bro
N-nice
>she's a candy dispenser
Z-Zamn...
I'd eat out her candy if you know what I mean
what's this from
it's some NFT scam
o
game?
>Zoomie think this is horror
Just make porn game as well
Every thread is the fricking same
>I'M NOT SCARED
>zoomers this, zoomers that
>popular bad, because of some minor problem, unpopular good, despite some major problem
>tries to explain why [thing1] is good and [thing2] is bad, contradicts self
No I brought a very unique point that no one in the story of Ganker ever thought of
See:
You've built your entire argument based on one example it seems, ignored
because popular is bad.
So what's millenial horror?
FNAF
zoomer horror
FNAF as not in game but type of horror
Recently released "horror" of the month was Poppy Playtime 3 which is basically FNAF
>Poppy Playtime 3 which is basically FNAF
only the final battle felt remotely similar to fnaf
I wasn talking about the gameplay but approach to "horror style/type". Gameplay is irrelevant in this case, we are talking about the genre aspects here.
SAW, Blair Witch, American Ring, The Poughkeepsie Tapes
creepypasta
Creepy pasta, the first two or three series of SCP and half life source mods.
Only the first game was millennial.
> Only the first game was millennial.
my bad, read it wrong
Urbanspook is a fantastic artist. I think people shit on him too much when it's clear the series is just a vehicle to show off his art and music.
Feels stupid to hate on him for that when it's clear that's what he wants to do.
>no one could refute my point or merely even comprehend it
This is why boomers are a failure
Dunno what your point was but I'm not engaging with a homosexual posting -oomer nonsense
Your point was "bad writing is ok if you ignore it!" Frick off and defend nu-Star Wars some more.
Your point simply wasn't interesting enough to engage with you narcissistic homosexual.
Yes it was
>pass owner
>anime avatargay
Safely didn't read
Weird how I see gays always b***hing about how terrible Analog horror is but they only ever talk about crap like Mandela
Why don't they ever talk about Local58? the one that's actually good.
Because zoomers don't like the good analog horror like Local58 and GHE. They like the awful shit like Text-to-speech Catalogue
Terrifying
horror too niche, just look at what happened to deadspace as executves demanded more action less horror.
What's some other really LONG horror games that don't end in 8h or whatever.
Like The Sinking City which is definitely 30h+
Horror just simply fricking sucks.
I'm one of those young ones you talk about and most if not all the horror I've seen relies on jumpscares or is just action/supernatural shlock. Lovecraft's stuff doesn't present itself as scary mainly to me first. That Color out of Space movie had like one creepy scene and that was it.
All these YouTube series are fricking boring and shit and they aren't scary at all, they're too busy building up this dumb "mythos" to care about horror. Mainstream horror is like a funfair's rollercoaster ride.
The genre is simply not for me.
And that's why you're a dumb zoomer.
If you wanna just watch these moronic Analog series on YouTube, go read something that's better written like a fantasy book, you'll get better world-building which is all these frickers online care about.
It's literally just about building an endless content stream, where they can always leave another expansion later down the road to scam gullible idiots through pateron or whatever site they're using nowadays.
>But you want to boast about how you're not afraid of analog horror or Lovecraft?
Because they're not fricking scary
Analog horror is not fricking scary at all, it's fricking VHS tapes. Despite what Ganker and people online tell you, people my age know what a fricking VHS tape is, frick, I used tons of them and had a VHS player. The mystique isn't there. This shit is Ben Drowned-level of "ooooooooooooh isn't it spooky" that the VHS tape has weird things going on.
Wow, you did evil corporation does evil things again and they've been experimenting on things. Bad tropes and bad set-ups that have been in vidya for years.
Lovecraft's stuff is more known for how weird it is, and the effects it has on it's characters, as well as it's mythos. I don't like the mythos, I think its dumb, but I agree on some level the shit is well-written. It's just not scary to me.
>your primal fear is a fricking VHS tape
>Lovecraft is VHS tapes
based moron
you posting from planet moron?
Just seems like you hate VHS tapes for some reason
Get into more horror that's not analog horror might help if you hate the VHS format so much.
The irony here is that you're the one who thinks VHS tapes are supposed to be scary, you're just pre-empting it by going "Well I know what it is so it's not scary to me!", unaware that your entire premise is wrong to begin with
It's a type of horror that could have no effect on you as a person. These analog horror things start off with some kind of grounding and then go off the fricking rails and it's not long like you've found some weird VHS tape, no, it's a fricking series now and it's all within this deep and complex story.
Even shit like Ringu DIDN'T base it's entire premise around the VHS tape showing weird creepy shit, it used it as the set-up to everything else happening in the film. Every single analog horror is trying to use that set up and then absolutely failing at it. You're don't feel like you've been given some weird look into forbidden knowledge, you're just being fed a 18 year old's film project from his college entry exam. That's all this is anyway, the feeling that you're given knowledge that's not meant to be exposed. When it fails at that everything relies on the visuals and at that point you're just in a competition for best designs and whatever looks disgustingly cool.
>He thinks it's about cool monsters now
okay lmao
My favorite ones are shit where it's almost entirely text or something else where there's no 'action', and if there is a monster then at best you barely even get to see it, with the already established concept making your mind do the majority of the work
And no, the VHS shit is not generally being used in the same way as old media that came out when VHS was actually in use, these usually aren't creepypasta-tier "I found this at a garage sale and I think there's a ghost in it lmao", it's used to set the tone and to obfuscate information the same way horror games do with "dated" mechanics
It's the easiest way to tap into nostalgia and the unknown on a budget
cool you can go away now.
I hate how people keep pretending that not being scared of fictional stories is a flex.
You don't feel afraid of Lovecraft because you're a boring homosexual who doesn't allow himself to get immersed in the premise. Simple as.
Not being afraid of fiction IS NOT A VIRTUE.
A virtue is not being afraid of real life dangerous situations. You're not afraid of having a gun pointed at you? Of a bear charging at you? Yeah that's fricking cool. But you want to boast about how you're not afraid of analog horror or Lovecraft? Yeah KYS, that just means you're unimaginative.
People who act like they are cool because they don't find something scary are the most obnoxious of homosexuals
For some reason they always feel the need to brag about it. but all I can think is that your missing out. being scared is fun. not being scared is boring why do you pride yourself on being bored? it's just weird to me.
But what he said is correct. Most 'horror' is no different than peekaboo. Haha loud scream with evil face. If I can replicate the entire experience by sneaking up on you and yelling Black person very loudly, then your concept is cheap garbage.
Surprisingly, one of the best horror movies of all time doesn't use that gimmick. Blair Witch Project.
And similarly, Amnesia for games.
But your just talking about bad horror. Silent Hill has barely any jump scares at all. your compering cheap horror to subtle horror.
Anon especially spoke about gimmicks, and others defended those gimmicks or attacked him for his stance.
I'm simply saying that he is correct. A VHS tape is not scary, what would be scary is what it depicts and you could do the same with lighting or subtle image manipulation for digital. What I mean is that analogue horror is just an aesthetic and has no real value on its own.
it's just a storytelling format it's not that deep. it's not that different from found footage. the idea of watching something that shouldn't exist.
>Guys im so fricking cool I am not afraid of humanity's primal fears at all because Im incapable of even thinking that much
Amazing anon, we're all lining up to suck your dick
The Monument Mythos ran it's self into the ground and that's a real shame.
I wish they ended it on The House in the Ocean it got just silly when it became about super heroes for no reason.
Anon, that shit was supposed to be silly
That's why not-superman was a one-off and I don't think even part of the same story
Why is every single one of these threads just "I can't believe people slightly younger than or the same age as me are scared by [thing I'm misunderstanding]. No, I've never watched old horror movies, why do you ask?"
I can't even get scared from this sort of thing anymore. My mind twists everything spooky into something sexy. I got bricked up watching ju-on the other day and knew it was all over for me.
What causes this?
I see people cooming about horror games all the time, I don't get it
There's no horror game that captures the feeling of ruby/nan quest
god I miss it
How would you make a DVD/BD scary?
spooky menu UI(don't check the extras, the deleted scenes are sure to shock you!)
Has anyone else noticed a lot of horror shit has gotten a lot sappier? Why is that?
Outlast 2 did the liminal spaces in some of the scenes in 2017
