Analog horror can be summed up in one sentence… “That can’t be real….. right?”
"....right? 😟"
Agreed
Oh... There are certain real deals pallies.

Lmao yes
the thalasin one is so funny because aed is literally just depression and thalasin is antidepressants but worded in a creepy horror way
idk i want some
I want to feel dorcelessness tbh
inshallah
What if it was in the mind of a schizophrenic
i really wanna feel some humber.
Came back to rewatch this and I wanna pop an interesting fact in The Blaire witch project is one of the first "analog" horror projects, but it's also very different. My mom knew one of the actors in the original. The actors were literally given cameras and some supplies, brought into the woods by the directors, and left there. A lot of their reactions were genuine. The directors would come and bang on the tent, without them knowing what it was. They would be left notes, like to throw their map into the river. The main point is, except for the beginning and end, none of it was scripted. It was the first analog horror, but it was also something extremely different, and I want that to be known. It was almost like a real life version
DONT CARE 🤣💯👎
@@headphonesonfire-pv6vfwhat did bro do to you💀
I remember hearing about this on a podcast! Though I don't find the premise of Blaire witch all that terrifying, what scared me the most was how genuine their fear and paranoia seemed, and it's because some of it *was* genuine fear and paranoia. Very fascinating.
I love how at 25:42 there is a recording of the last castrato singer singing “Ave Maria”. For those who don’t know, castrato singers are males who are castrated before hitting puberty. It was a common practice in the late renaissance/baroque era. I heard this piece in my music history class and brought such an uncanny feeling to the room. Just the application in this context makes it for me.
do you know the name of the song

Mark: I want to dissect why this works Matpat: the idea that things that are familiar to you are unsafe is a disturbing thought.
This is no joke: one of the ads that played while I was watching this was an anti-vaping ad, and I shit you not, it was right after the bit about THALASIN and the REAL anti-vaping ad started out by saying, "If you love anxiety, you'll love depression." They were, of course, harping on the fact that vaping can lead to an increase in those emotions, but still. Very unsettling timing.
I seen that ad before 😰
I keep getting those ads. I don't even vape. Btw the company is Truth

@Zote from the hit indie platformer, Hollow Knight Nah, he’s zooted on that ponnish
@@hellsonion514 nah he wanted that Degrence
i though viagra just makes you hard, not horny
Degrence: A feeling of pure, absolute euphoria, magnitudes better than what any drug other than Thalasin + can do. It is combined with the extreme satisfaction over everything, even the most mundane of things. Accompanied by a minor drop in blood pressure. Humber: Extreme confusion. The literal form of someone saying something so stupid that your brain hurts. Nage: A feeling of forced friendliness, to the point where it becomes psychotic. Dorcelessness: The best term that can describe this infamous emotion is literally 'nothing'. It's a giant void in the part of your mind that controls emotion. Numbness of the mind. Notice the flattened skull in the Dorcelessness portrait? That represents the figurative loss of the parts of your brain that trigger emotion, a part of your brain is gone. Andric: If normal cringe was being hit in the face with a paper ball, Andric is like being hit in the face with a nuclear bomb. It's like that pain you get when you hit your funny bone, but amplified by many magnitudes. Varination: The reason there are two portraits is to show different intensities. Varination 1 is like being frozen-in-fear. Like you are home alone and something breaks in the kitchen. Varination 2 is like you are bracing for something terrible to happen, like you are sinking back into yourself, just ready for it. Ponnish: The feeling you get when witnessing something that just destroys your soul. The best thing to compare it to is the sadness mixed with fear that a lot of Public Service Announcements give off. You just sink back upon being hit with something Ponnish-inducing. Harfam: It's like your brain can no longer comprehend the mere existence of itself and everything around it. Your brain just crashes. Kyne: Kyne is like you have suddenly and instantaneously acquired all knowable information in the universe at once. So much information that your brain just collapses in on itself. Equivalent to scoring an infinity on an IQ test. Trantiveness: An extreme connection to nature. The feeling that you have become one with nature, and this is reflected in the two Trantiveness portraits, which show human characteristics melted with various things in nature (First one represents a tree, second one represents a flower) Teluge: The feeling that you are going to die and/or everything will be annihilated. An extreme feeling of dread, to put it lightly. Onlent: Pure white-hot anger. The feeling like you must obliterate every single proton, neutron, and electron of someone or something. This emotion suppresses all others, and like primal instinct, results in you attacking whatever you feel Onlent towards. Loric: Similar to Dorcelessness, in a way. The pure neutrality of all emotions. To put it into an analogy: if all emotions were mapped on a coordinate grid, Loric will be dead in the origin point, or (0,0). You don't feel anything. You don't even feel as though you don't feel anything. [REDACTED]: The unlabeled emotion is not an emotion. It is a grim reminder to everyone regarding drug abuse. This leads me to believe that this commercial is not meant to advertise a product. It is a PSA. A drug abuse PSA. It shows what happens when you take the seriousness of drugs lightly, though the uncanny valley of the Thalasin + emotions... -TheDinosaurKing 777
this deserves to be top comment or better, pinned
Wow awesome analysis
Degrence seems like it would be quite nice for a short while, it would get a bit much though
I like how Kyne is "like" that, implying that it's not actually true and you just feel WAY more intelligent than you actually are.

@@morphotechwhat about me?
Yeah that stuff is probably the scariest fear to me, I mean sure dark figures chasing you around in abandoned shelters is scary but body disfiguration! I mean imagination the process of while alive being chipped at or forced in a mold to make your body look physically impossible, stuff of nightmares man.
@@morphotech huh-
@@Zayzanater i think whats worse is analog horrors like the smile tapes. feeling your body slowly contort. its not physically painful. but the mental torment is insane as your body becomes a mangled smiling mess
The Tangi Virus one absolutely terrified me, and I haven't been scared in literal years
I felt that after watching Vita Carnis for the first time, especially after the Mimic episode, and the nocturnal screaming in the "How to Care For Your Pet Trimming" video. The Mimic in particular had me wary of like every odd sound in my house and every slightly cracked doorway for like a straight week. I don't know why it got to me in that way, but it also made the Alternates in Mandela Catalogue Vol. 2, 3, and 4 even creepier to me and feel similarly unsettled when I'm alone or in the dark, particularly in hallways or near doors and stairs in my apartment and my parent's house. Probably going to regret it later this week but I'm about to go watch the Tangi Virus video(s?) now; wish me luck. EDIT: forgot to come back after I watched the Tangi Virus stuff, most of it I felt was pretty tame and didn't really affect me, but I do admit the logs by the researcher who discovered and named the Tangi Virus were pretty well done. It's an interesting and terrifying thought to be poisoned with the virus you yourself discovered and want to get the word out about, so you know exactly, in excruciating detail, what is going to happen to you, and having no way to stop it, while simultaneously having your whistleblowing attempts thwarted at every turn because you're basically surrounded by people who are in on the conspiracy. Didn't scare me, just chilled me pretty good. Those logs alone would have been an excellent short story. Everything afterwards kind of lessened the terror for me personally, but I still enjoyed it.
@@lykonic1763 bro there is this one analog horror called the painter that gave me the same feeling I haven't watched it in a week and I'm still getting sleep deprivation from it lol
@@williamlatham8185 Is it the one where the murderer keeps leaving horrific paintings of their victims and even a few self-portraits? Ones with titles like "Daniel After The Fire" and "Long-Necked Angel' and "Man in the Pipes"? Because I think I saw someone's video talking about it back when there were only like six or eight episodes out yet for it. Didn't exactly scare me per se, but definitely one of the most unique and awesome analog horror series I've seen so far; the emphasis of the disturbing art being an important in-universe plot point *made by the killer* is so interesting and neat to see.
@lykonic1763 yes that is the one. The specific image that terrified me the most was the paint called "Ian the pig" it was scary

There are four types of analog horror: 1. Something's off 2. News about weird stuff 3. Person telling a story 4. Found VHS tape
My personal favorite analogue horror has to be the monument mythos/nixonverse. It just does everything right. It uses mediums that most people are familiar with to show things that shouldn’t exist, and it goes even farther beyond that because the things it presents aren’t just straight up monsters. It’s monuments. Icons of America that nearly anyone living there can recognize, but twisted into something horrific
On a comedical note, imagine being in an argument with someone and you pause to go "Hol on I need to take my angry pill rq."
Or someone killing you and being like “hold up let me take my fear pill”
Lemme pop a dorslessness, gimme a sec!
Ah yes, the horror that consistently makes me scared of the dark again

Needed to open the lights in my room... THANKS MARK
I have a really long hallway in my home with about 4 rooms attached to it, one of them i dont use, so it just stays dark in there , at night i have to close the door to the room because im scared ill peer in and something would peer back at me because of these analogue horror films lol

man we need mark to react to squimpus's tapes or even battingon's version of them
There’s a horror movie called “Await Further Instructions” where a family is sealed in their house and gets instructions from the TV that get more and more violent. They think it’s the government giving them emergency warnings and keep going with it even as the instructions becomes insane. It really follows with what Mark was saying about how you’re seeing something weird through a normal medium like an emergency broadcast and don’t know if it’s real or not.
Await Further Instructions! Really cool movie
spoilers for the movie: turns out the broadcast was coming from an alien species. that movie also reminded me of the “To Serve Man” episode of The Twilight Zone. idk why tho haha
bad movie. the ending literally made no sense at all.
I liked up until the end but the ending blows.
@@mandalorian1282 I agree, but the movie’s idea is interesting! sadly it wasn’t presented well

The unknown, the uncanny, and the feeling that you're seeing something horrible that no one else knows about. These make good analog horror.
also something that was once a comfort twisted into something grotesque and foreign, like something from your childhood you don't quite recognize any more

The Backrooms Found Footage is a really good one. Idk if it’s exactly analog horror but it does have that VHS recording and creepy vibe to it.

I genuinely love when Mark just goes off about stuff he is interested in. This video weirdly has the same energy as when he applied his engineering experience with the bridge building simulator. Idk, I just love seeing Mark be genuinely passionate about cool things like this and getting to share it.
i get that, i feel the same really
I love the little banter between Matpat and Mark recently. He's like the cool kid picking on the nerd who chose Monty golf.

I love how Mark opened this video like he was welcoming us to a very important meeting on a very important subject.
I don’t know what attracts me to these videos. They’re freaky and i always watch them when I’m alone at night even though I already a paranoid person.
Am I the only one that would love to see Mark turn this into a series? Not specifically the whole analog horror thing, but just analyzing why scary things are scary.
Yeah I would watch a series like that.
yess he has so much experience with horror and is able to analyze it so well

But it hasn’t happened?

I think what makes this terrifying, at least to me, is the idea of supernatural, uncontrollable forces happening to my natural, controllable world. The monkey one doesn’t give that uncontrollable feel, so that’s where I think it doesn’t work.
Which is also why murders are down right terrifying. Something intruding on your typical routine and threatening to change it permanently.
Because it was dumb, with no sense of realism and an attempt at breaking the fourth wall with messages that might as well read "boo. got ya, spooked ya."
Dorcelessnes is a real emotion that makes you feel empty
Can’t wait to see those unnatural emotions as a “tag yourself, I’m Loric” template
I did it on my Facebook.
oh you have no idea
tag yourself im teluge
tag yourself, i'm l o r i c
I hate that I busted out laughing, the combination of the deadpan saying of nonsense words along with some of the pictures just hit the funni bone XD
Fun Fact!: Alex Kister actually made his series just from his phone, he also made the TV Man by actually buying an actual TV!

yes!
GHE is like the How to Basic of analogue horror.
Yea
This is exactly the type of psychological, unsettling media I occasionally partake in. I enjoy the occasional jump scare, but it's so much harder to set someone's own mind against them.
The existence of the uncanny valley strongly implies that there was a point in history where it was evolutionarily advantageous to be scared of something that looked human but wasn't.
@@seven07777 I hate that you have a point... One sentence horror story right there. The mental images it gave me are shudder-worthy. Huddled in a cave, our early ancestors see a figure limping slowly towards them, silhouetted by trickles of moonlight. It's outline resembled an adult person's but it hobbled and staggered like a spring lamb unsure on its feet - *almost as if it wasn't meant to be walking on two legs...* Hollow, rattling breaths echoed painfully from the facial area, obscured by a cloak of shadow. It's own silhouette betrayed it, however, as the outline of a nose was clearly absent and the limbs were noticeably emaciated. Only when it came too close was the terrible truth unveiled by the dim embers of the group's earliest fires. Lidless, glazed eyes stared hauntingly back at them, as the thing dropped to all fours and scuttled towards them, more agile than before. Shrieking its war cry with a mangled jaw stretched wider than a dinner plate, the tombstone-like teeth made short work of humanity's prototypes.
@@casualhavoc Fuck me, that was worse than I thought
Freaking terrifying
@@seven07777 I hate to be to be the one to ruin the mood, but it is very possible that the "uncanny valley" evolved in order to protect people from going near sick people, dead corpses, and other people who look "different" (such as missing limbs, altered facial features, etc.) so that healthy individuals may be protected from disease.
fun fact: gooseworx is the one who collaborated with glitch productions to create the amazing digital circus

I love the component of the “uncanny valley”. Not necessarily that it’s a person that feels off, but like Mark said it’s about things we recognize and messing them up just enough that our brains think “there’s something wrong here… I just can’t figure out what”. It’s a very primal fear that can really only be triggered in specific situations. I love it!!
I love seeing this component come out in more games as well! I have the worst experiences of "uncanny valley" ever since I was a kid (that and masklophobia which has some similarities). Recently my bf and I went to Grounds for Sculpture and some of the statues made me so uncomfortable I couldn't go near them. Especially if it's something WAYYY bigger than you are!
@@MasqueradeofAngels it’s wild that a concept that’s as modern as Mandala Catalog or things of that nature stem from something so ingrained in our natural instincts. The only thing I can compare it to is being chased or the fear you’re being watched/pursued. But again, that’s another caveman fear! This whole genre is totally fascinating
I think that’s what makes the horror aspects of Undertale and DDLC work so well, too. In Undertale, we know how the game is supposed to work and Flowey breaks it. We know what the graphics are supposed to look like and Flowey makes an amalgamation of actual photos. In DDLC, we’ve already played through this dating sim for several hours, and now we have to play through it again but now it’s broken and glitching.
It makes you question whether or not the fact that you can't quite identify what's wrong might indicate that there is something wrong with your mind, which cannot be detected from the inside. Becoming aware of something you cannot detect means something is wrong with your detector, and that means you are not safe and cannot trust yourself. Losing faith in yourself is a very scary thing when you feel you are in danger.
Funny how our minds think that way.... Makes you wonder what happened thousands of years ago that made every human mind have some an ingrain feel of ... The ever so slightly off
There's been some good contenders, but Local 58 TV's "contingency" is still the most haunting analogue horror I have ever seen.
Local 58 is the best
Came down here looking for this
Local58 is legendary. The only series I can think of that holds a candle to them is Gemini Home Entertainment. Most analog horror series out there are made by someone just googling and photoshoping some images and editing some videos, but these two series really put the effort to create something special, to stand out from the rest. They know how to make it work.
Yesss I watched all of it last night its sooo good
Local58 is some of my favorite KZhead horror along with HiimMaryMary
29:27 “ So we’re not gonna talk about how horrifying that thought is “ “ Ok we’re just gonna breeze past that comment “
A good example of parody that circles back into being genuinely creepy is Sr Pelo’s ‘Mandela Magazine’, it’s one of my favorite
Child: *goes missing* Mother: *starts going up* Mother: *hangs themself* Mark: every time!
I have a question why did you use a genderless term for herself
@@edgardanimate3552 Perhaps because it's implied that this has happened multiple times, implying multiple mothers hanging themselves?
@@isaacq4392 then you should use themselves
@@edgardanimate3552 Probably. However, I did not write the comment and I cannot change OP's comment. I was giving a possible and/or likely answer for your question.

"There is an entity that looks just like you that is trying to take over your life" Well I for one welcome our new overlords, maybe they can get my shit together.
Idk man something breaking your skull open to replace you doesn't sound like a good alternative.
If they can land me a job better then I can, they can take over my life for me. I'll just play video games.
@@usagifang you know they kill you to take over your life, right?
@@usagifang Highly doubtful

I just realized that the person who made Blue Channel: Thalasin is the same person who made/works on The Amazing Digital Circus
I love his decent from laughter to abject horror during the second half of Thalasin
I'm a night time security guard. I'm watching this at work. No one is on this site that I'm at but me. You can imagine the horror as I start seeing people out of the corners of my eyes thanks to the old hunter instinct we have
I hope that metallic doors do not use electricity
do you by chance work at a pizzeria with animatronics as its main attraction
@@bravelilbirb160 nope, but I've worked in a hospital while it was almost empty
@@gingervk7407 It's even creepier tbh
You’re a very brave person I could never holy shit lMFAO
Mark: *talks about the motif of propaganda in analog horror* Me: “ah yes, the 3 F’s. Front lawn, face up, feet together. Infants and Pets are the smallest of patriots.”
oh god Contingency is one of the most scary things I have ever seen.
glad I’m not the only one who thought of local58
There is 1 more F you’re missing and that’s FNAF
no sacrifice too little
VICTORY POSE
I mean, imagine a serial killer kills someone but no one notices because that person still shows up to work the next day. It could make a great horror story, you think that it's a horror story from the point of the murderer, but it ends up being something different. OR, it could be a comedy where there's a serial killer that keep accidentally being the good guy by coincidentally and constantly killing alternates when he meant to just kill people, and is hailed as a hero, as the killer becomes more and more frustrated because he wants to be known as a serial killer.

For some reason, this is actually scary enough that I kinda need Mark's presence just to not feel alone.
I need him and music playing in the background to feel better

you are never alone.
@@s1mplyl0v3 dude shut up 😨😨😭😭😂😂😂😂
Same
4:25 “where’s the horny option” I was thinking the same shit
5:45 si you're telling me that this creepy ad was created by the woman that made Digital circus?
Local 58 is so good, just the hint of mystery yet somehow staying, in a sense, familiar in each episode is just absolutely perfect
*Don't go to my about, because there is a suprise:)* 😊😊😊☺️☺️☺️😊☺️😊
I saw it on that playlist and yelled out loud for him to watch it. It was my first experience with analog horror from NexPo. And it just was so unnerving
Agreed
I love it too, but I love Gemini Home Entertainment even more
God I love Local 58 so much
that feeling of “i should recognize this but i don’t/something is off” is called jamais vu! (basically the opposite of deja vu) it works really well for horror because it twists our sense of familiarity by changing it JUST enough that we feel confused and worried but not enough that we don’t recognize it at all. like if your childhood home suddenly had your bedroom door just a few feet to the side, it would freak you out just enough that your senses would spike that something is wrong, or not fully real or true
It's why found footage works really well, especially if you live in an area like where the video takes place
@@jackgooge2601 exactly!! it’s why paranormal activity may not have been an amazing movie, but it was so familiar until it WASN’T because it could be any house in america or a ton of other countries as well! also the added fact that footage taken (especially on older video cameras) were typically happy and innocent moments or a kid messing around or a birthday. blair witch messes with that REALLY well
@@lightworthy It's also why the best found fottage ones, are those short films you find on youtube. They aren't made for a massive budget, it's supposed to remind you of similar stuff. Especially ones in houses, cause ;like everyone's heard stuff in their own house they don't recognise and were worried about but brushed off. The found footage does great at reminding you of what if something was there and you didn't check.
Imagine a creepypasta where all the doors in your house switched
Wow, thank you for explaining this! I couldn't exactly understand but now I do! Never knew this existed and could exist in someone's thoughts.
Analog horror is so cool and creepy. For me, its probably a mixture of uncanny valley and that possibility of it being true in some messed up universe that luckily isnt this one. I can personally recommend gemini home entertainment, the monument mythos, the walten files and the backrooms from kane pixels (i havent watched backrooms stuff from other creators so i dont know how good they are) if theres hunger for more.
15:37 from what the broadcast stated, it was apparently a muscle contraction, which ties in the theme of geological and biological.
It was coughing, specifically
Mark: *Watches a brutal death by being burnt alive* "Anyway, having fun, memes SO COOL-"
that part was awful
@@benjaminramsey498 haha ... ha ... ha
I have never, ever been so terrified in all my life than due to analog horror... So I used to listen to creepy pastas and other spooky stories before bed. I was home from college and decided to stream to the TV in the room I was crashing in. Not my old bedroom, rather basement where it was cool during the summer. I fell asleep all good and peaceful. I was listening to creepy pasta stories, soft-spoken, ASMR - like readings. Stuff was calming to me and the stories never spooked me. Streaming these to the TV wasn't too stimulating either, usually a slow looping gif of a forest or what not. Actually quite peaceful to me... That was until hours into the night, well after I am deep asleep, KZhead autoplay throws on a classic Analog horror, title something like, "Do Not Look At The Moon." TV was decently up in volume as the creepypasta guys are soft spoken... So I am jolted awake by the blasting of the emergency broadcast noise blaring in the basement. I wake up confused, afraid and disoriented, not being a place I sleep normally, I have no idea where I am. I only hear the emergency broadcast, and I can only see the words, "DO NOT LOOK OUT SIDE, ADVOID ALL WINDOWS, DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON" Flashing on the screen frantically. And I can also see a full moon shining through the basement window Only time I have ever screamed in genuine fear of my life
I believe that was Local 58 you were watching, but that sounds like a horrifying experience
That sounds traumatizing and awesome.
the second he said “just stick to the plan and everything will be just fine” i immediately thought of that scene in heist where he said “stick to the plan and everything will be just fine. but if you deviate from it for even a single moment… i won’t come back for you… okay? good luck!”
The way Mark explains things is so relatable, the psychology he's familiar with, the passion as he geeks tf out, I talk just like this, lol
i could listen to him talk about literally anything its so nice
What makes that Brazen Bull distressing meme at the end worse, is that it was real. It's just a real historical story they turned into a creepy meme.
L
And funnily, the guy who made the Brazen Bull was its first victim
@@LiterallyMe05 yep. Dude got pushed into his own invention
@@LiterallyMe05 And only victim. True to the king's word he never used it as he found the idea too horrible.
@@LiterallyMe05 that is not true.
Even "Gemini Home Entertainment" is an analog horror series that is unfortunately not as well known.
This truly shows how smart and analytical mark is
For me, the scary thing about the 'alternate' concept is that we likely wouldn't recognize our doppelganger on sight - it would be more of a 'that person is creepily familiar, wtf??' - because we're so used to seeing ourselves in mirrors that we rarely recognize ourselves when we see ourselves 'correctly.'
Imagine if you had a fraternal twin though, someone who already looks like you with minor differences. So potentially thinking the alternate is your sibling lmao
But we've seen ourselves in photos, haven't we? Those aren't flipped like mirrors, are they?
@Kaburii actually they are flipped. When you take a picture with your front camera, the picture comes out flipped. THAT'S how the world sees you. In the mirror, when you see yourself that is the false reality.
me who almost never looks into the mirror :
@@earthing3696 Well, the implication is that we have seen photos of ourselves, and therefore we've seen what we look like to others, which is... the point, we know what we look like to others, so it's not like it'd be a thing that'd take a moment to recognize, generally.
I'd say the best person at this type of horror is Local 58, not only does each video have amazing quality, but the fact that they do different types of these videos almost every time. Plus it has an actual story.
@@3eiii gemini home entertainment is SO underated
monument mythos has entered the chat
The quality is on another level🙏🙏 and its just so unnerving
Someone please for the love of god give walten files some well deserved love. It’s criminal how screwed over that series got in terms of the popular AH’s out there
@@Bellitchi what? It’s like the most popular one lol.
