This was great! Glad you enjoyed it. Since you asked so nicely, at the end when Landon says he and Prophet will join the One, he’s basically saying that the Sinkhole will swallow them after the journals are done. After the Eye was fed by the 8 sacrifices it went dormant and restored the area it consumed.
And here he is: the creator himself!! I'm just fascinated by your stories. All this stuff is just amazing. You're awesome. Keep up your work. Btw I LOVE Oracle ❤
Ima just say you my sir have helped me so much your videos have helped me cope with a loss I experienced recently thank you you have no idea how much this has helped
Poor Oracle... His ability to reproduce and "listen" to the audio a thousand times faster than a normal human only made it so he would easily become the prophet...
Context: The reason there was so many mentions of backwards and forwards because Vintage Eight made a short analog horror where in an alternate timeline a race of people known as "The Forward Few" and "Backwards Many" were at war across multiple timelines
This also ties back to the oracle project since there was a statement oracle made about how there were “advanced humans” fighting for reality endlessly. (Something similar to that pretty much)
To be fair Roanoke is a legit microbiologist so it's tough to complete on that level lmao 😂. I love both their breakdowns though, I kinda wish Roanoke would cover tangi virus he'd probably be a fan and explain how the monster at the end is actually an angler fish with rabies lolol
now wouldn't it be so cool if oracle and prophet ultimately became different characters and were working against each other, one to protect humanity after learning to appreciate it in its own playworld and the other longing to spread the gospel of the eye and convert all of humanity to amphibious creatures after the eye's first two plans failed
I am hoping this is the case, at least Oracle was a benevolent but all-powerful AI that was trying to preserve humanity from itself and forces humanity was not ready to deal with.
wasn't this Oracle a Beta version? They did say the bigger and real one was back at the lab. So I'm assuming that this will indeed be the case where a more benevolent Oracle will be a different oracle from the Prophet in this one. Also, I assuming that the benevolent Oracle will simply see the Eye as just another threat to protect humanity from.
I'm thinking that the new oracle or prophet is actually a strand of that human from the tests, a dumbed out mellow version though but by logic he would be susceptible to the sound being "human"
another thing to note is that this isn’t the completed version of oracle as we know it in the episode where that one AI is being tested by the oracle, this is an earlier version, which is why the response text is in red, instead of white. It’s also probably the reason it got so easily affected by the sounds, as this would be an incomplete variant
How do you know that????? you in NASA or something because a normal person is definitely not going to remember what RADIO WAVES FROM A BLACKHOLE sound like.
@@ashphoenix-xi6jl the noises are released, but because of no atmosphere, and can’t properly travel or be heard. It’s a lot more nuanced and I’m not a professional.
@@hubbahubbawow that couldve already happened and we wouldnt know it unless they said something so it makes no sense, If it was showing some monster then it doesnt fit within the vintageeight style of not showing you what barely anything looks like
In part 4 near the end, the Prophet mentions that He needs 8. If you count all the people that get sacrificed to the eye after this point, Oliver, Wyatt, Lucy, Landon, Dunnington, and his three goons that makes 8. So the eye might need only certain amount of people before it goes dormant again. You could also count Jeffery in and remove Oliver by saying that the eye needed 8 converted people since Oliver was forced in and not willing.
Oracle showing up is the equalivant of that one character that died in the first part of a movie and came back near the end, his reappearance is always mysterious yet very welcoming in a very- terrifying way.
Here’s my two cents. The natural gas closing the sinkhole wasn’t an accident-It was intended. Remember what Prophet said. It needed 8 of something. And it got 8 sacrifices. Jeffrey, Oliver, Wyatt, Lucy, Gilly, and the three suits. Its work was finished, so it closed itself up, leaving Landon to spread the word through the journals. What I wanna know is what happened to Oracle. Was Prophet restored back to its original state after the incident, or is there two of them now? Are they gonna meet up one day? It may just be me, but I don’t think Oracle would take kindly to a piece of it worshipping a god when it itself is actively playing god elsewhere. Just my two cents.
They might met up one day. Also pretty certain it was only a single instance of Oracle/beta of the original. Since it had a seperate "brain" that Oliver took with him to set him up. Thank god we didn't really had wireless back then... we might have been even more srcewed!
Prophet actually appears in vintage 8’s other video, the itch(or just itch)! In that(a bit of spoiler) Prophet becomes aware of Oracle(or already was?) and it does get really interesting:D
Makes me wonder if they found the tapes that were on the hard drives and uploaded on the internet would prophet be able to access the internet since it was a beta portion and then encounter oracle in its current state?
Something I noticed is that when Prophet welcomes Landon and Frank, the sound starts playing and doesn't stop until the series end, only breaking for a minute when part 6 draws to a close whenever Prophet starts telling everyone to get their things together because the sinkhole is coming. I think it's diegetic, maybe it's inserted by Prophet or even the eye itself, or Landon could've added it as he was consumed by the eye and it's sound, either way trying to convert people through the tapes, it's very interesting. Despite being told to continue his journal twice by the eye, he only adds the sound when it isn't relevant towards the end; maybe it's showing some part of him was still hanging on, not sure.
I know Bear is in on it and knows all etc but like Imagine your construction project is delayed by a weird sinkhole, and a week later, you come in to see what's up. The water is up to your ankles, there's a bunch of comp sci students wrestling a computer screaming about Him That Consumes the World in a Microsoft Sam voice, there's an ungodly sound pulsing, and the only guy you recognize says "this isn't a good time to be checking in" What would you even do
Someone should make a parody analog horror where someone watches tapes as a reaction channel, and every time they finish a tape, the horror of the tape comes into our reality, cast you as the main character, and call it Emortal Second idea: while they watch the tapes the horror comes to life and they have to finish the tapes all the way through to defeat it
I may or may not be working on something similar to that as we speak; it’s just in the early stages but it follows a Historian and Archivist called Danny as he sifts through old analog tapes in his library
Only at 7:30 now so idk if he covers it, but in 20 Things You Don't Know about Cate's Crossing they say that squirrels are said to be the spies of the fallen(ears and vision) thus it would make sense they don't care about another fallen "project"
The minute the computer said "We shall be devoured..."? I would have been outta there!😂 About the ending: Prophet has all the abilities of Oracle, so it stored a copy of itself elsewhere and it can be anywhere on the internet. Wild story! Loved it!❤
Don't think so. Oracle made it into the internet around 1996-1997 Prophet was in 1991 and was just a beta test of Oracle. There's might be a hard-drive left somewhere, but not into the internet.
@@IceCreamMagnate The internet existed in 1991. Storing a version of itself would not have been a problem. Someone could take the program and physically upload it to the internet. Remember, it took over those IT techs in the story. They would be motivated enough to spend the thousands of hours it would take do it. Even if it took millions of hours, all they would have to is get new "recruits" for Prophet to do the work.
@@kenyabrunson4985kinda doubt the area had internet since they had a sinkhole devouring everything. It makes more since if it downloaded himself on to one of thr hard drives then possibly on to the internet after. Oracle would have otherwise tried to delete Prophet once he started infecting the net since the Eye IS a danger to humanity.
@@IceCreamMagnatejust further backing this up, (with a bit of spoiler) from another vintage 8 video “the itch” Prophet is constantly asking to be plugged into the internet. This means that it isn’t in the internet yet
The part where the " one" touches him and he just suddenly converts- is just chilling to me. A loss of free will to an omniscient being, or anything really, is just traumatizing to me.
Vintage Eight deserves so many more subs for the level of work that is put out and connects varies series into basically one universe too. Looking forward to the Itch series to be completed when it is as I want to watch it as one video when it's all done(trypophobia safe version that is).
I really appreciate how Vintage Eight puts out multiple versions to account for people's phobias or sensitivities. I really loved the ghost children story but when I tried to watch it, the flickering of old vhs tape lines irritated my light sensitivity. Vintage Eight directed me to a version that didn't have that feature. So awesome of them.
There's actually a couple series following the Eye and prophet if you're interested. Swarm, It Lives in the Static, and the newest ongoing series Itch all have to do with Dunnington, the Eye and prophet the sassiest AI ever. No spoilers but in Itch he's like 40 percent more sassy 😂
Vintage eight made some new analogs you should check out , theyre called"it lives in the static" and his new series "Itch" and he has a load more you should check out
It feels like a Lovecraft novel but turned into an analog series. From the way the story is told to what happens to the main character at the end, the way the main "antagonists" works and are described and the cosmic horror, everything is just spot on.
1:04:42 *spoilers talk* The ending is that he escaped. The natural explosion is him escaping or covering up his actions to pretend like something natural happened when in actuality, it was his escape out of where he was and a way to push his control out to the world. Quite terrifying, honestly...
Picturing Prophet being swallowed by the sinkhole and immediately when hitting the water his circuits get fried and he’s like “… maybe i didn’t think this through well enough”
That footage of the trees getting sucked underwater is real footage of a sinkhole underwater. I can’t remember where or when it happened, but it’s my favorite footage of a sinkhole ever.
Louisiana cannot catch a break in the Vintage 8 universe 💀 On a more serious note, Marcus if you are reading this I just wanted to say that your videos are incredibly awesome! Hope you review more analog horror series! ❤
I think the reason why Oracle was affected by the audio is because Oracle is a sentient being being able to be live and learn. Even if it was a small part or copy of Oracle, we saw how people were affected and now Oracle is infected.
Prophet's character is both hilarious and eerie. Very well written and entertaining! There's just something so terrifying about your mind being uncontrollably altered... Just the notion of losing everything that makes you you, even if you're left in a state of everlasting euphoria. It doesn't help that this is all the manipulation of some entity looking to devour you lol.
Fun fact I found out doing a little research: Oracle and Prophet are hitting names for their characters. Oracle being a being that can predict the unbiased future, just straight facts, with Prophet being a being that only serves as a hype man for a more powerful being. Basically saying that it's an Oracle more biased towards the facts of the more powerful being.
it’s incredible how marcus is able to make a scary af video into another video that’s a comedy going over the scary af video if u understand what i’m talking about
I fell asleep midway through the video and I swear I could hear the video going on in the depths of my psyche/dreams when it got to around Part 4 of the video.
The Aura thing is great, but you can also register your number in the National Do Not Call registry for free. once your number is on that list it's illegal to spam call you unless you are doing business with them.
i watch all of your videos every time you post, but somehow this one keeps making me come back, vintage 8 is definitely one of the best analog horror content creator and it shows, the story is just so unique and it keeps you intrigued
I never expected the story to turn out this way, also, i just love the way Vintage 8 makes analog horror, no jumpscares really, no tapes, just text, and pictures.
What’s crazy is I know this footage. My dad did work regarding the aftermath of this sinkhole. It’s insane to see it in an analogue horror. For anyone curious- it was caused by a collapsed salt dome
You know, The One has a pretty good plan here. I mean, why chase down your food if you can just talk it into jumping into your mouth on its own? Promise the humans that you'll make us something supremely powerful, return some part of ourselves that we think is missing. Or that we can be convinced is missing. It's a brilliant plan, assuming The One wasn't telling the truth about it all. Either way, truth or lie, it gets to eat its fill with minimal effort.
Jeffrey (the guy that jumped in) is the guy that voice the TV in "It Lives in the Static." Also another great Vintage 8 story. Loved the way he said, "Randall," in that story. 😂
I believe this is a part of series involving Oracle or rather Prophet as it dubs itself in this one, I know it includes the Tangi virus and a few others are hinted at being a part of it. That said, I am glad you are reacting to Vintage Eight's content, as I feel their work deserves a great deal more love than it normally gets, so thank you for showing these gems to a wider audience. That said, take care and stay safe.
Some of your questions might be answered if you watch one of Vintage Eight earlier analog horrors; it's called "One of Us". SPOILERS BELOW Basically, there are two factions, the Backward Many and the Forward Few. The Forward Few are descendents of angels, while the Backward Many infects people who aren't part of the Forward Few, just like we see in Sinkhole. The Backward Many used time travel to create the world that Landon saw in his visions from the Eye. The Forward Few stopped this by sending a message through time, explaining that while the present was lost, there was a way to save everyone by getting the message to someone in the past who can ensure that the majority of humanity share the bloodline of the angels
Bro, I don't sleep well or deal with downtime well thanks to some trauma from combat with the Marine Corps. I've always enjoyed ARG and stories, and I wanted to say thank you. You going through, giving thoughts, reading, and narrating helps my enjoyment of the video and has really helped. Just wanted to say that cuz it deserved to be heard.
I feel like I need to point out the fact that oracle is red instead of white, this might be a bit far fetched but maybe it means something. It might also mean Oracle and Prophet are different beings.
I've never been a fan of humanity failing in analog horror, and I hope that's not the end result of Vintage 8's story. If humanity loses, then who the heck is watching the tapes?
I love how Marcus gets lost in the sauce so often that he reads the ending to this story about a supposed "natural gas explosion" and immediately jumps into theories because he's so fucking gay for lore that he forgets that normal people in the setting have to make up some sort of explanation for themselves as to why a mile wide sinkhole is just GONE one day.
Marcus I swear I’m so nervous to watch these analog horrors by myself but with you doing a cover with them it helps explain it and drains my fear a bit :,) KEEP GOIN MARCUS!
Its a time hole that be growing So many souls have been devoured that it is conscious And since they all travel backwards through time, technically it has been conscious since the birth of the universe
I'm going to have to go back and rewatch the Oracle video because I swear when it is talking to the guy that was left to work on it and it starts listing all the things that could end humanity one of the things that it lists is a sinkhole in Louisiana. It's kind of sad that Oracle wanted to take care of humanity at that point but eventually falls to the being beyond the sinkhole.
This got me thinking about Drakengard honestly with its Ending E The ending depicts a haunting final boss in the form of a rhythm game with the song mainly being composed of church bells. It’s not epic or ceremonial, it’s just haunting and catchy… And those bells were the sign that humanity in that universe was going to become extinct…
This was great! Glad you enjoyed it. Since you asked so nicely, at the end when Landon says he and Prophet will join the One, he’s basically saying that the Sinkhole will swallow them after the journals are done. After the Eye was fed by the 8 sacrifices it went dormant and restored the area it consumed.
And here he is: the creator himself!!

It doesn't help that this is all the manipulation of some entity looking to devour you lol.
It feels like I’m watching a new analog horror series with a friend every time.
It’s funny how Prophet became extremely informal and casual most of its existence
There needs to be more Analog Horrors that take place in Louisiana, we got some freaky creachurs here-

Fun fact I found out doing a little research: Oracle and Prophet are hitting names for their characters. Oracle being a being that can predict the unbiased future, just straight facts, with Prophet being a being that only serves as a hype man for a more powerful being. Basically saying that it's an Oracle more biased towards the facts of the more powerful being.
it’s incredible how marcus is able to make a scary af video into another video that’s a comedy going over the scary af video if u understand what i’m talking about
Vintage Eight really doing an amazing job dropping all these analog horror BANGERS.
I fell asleep midway through the video and I swear I could hear the video going on in the depths of my psyche/dreams when it got to around Part 4 of the video.
Scaringly enough, I too fell asleep in the middle, woke up to Oracles/Prophets creepy voice😂
The Aura thing is great, but you can also register your number in the National Do Not Call registry for free. once your number is on that list it's illegal to spam call you unless you are doing business with them.
ah, sinkhole, one of the first analogs i watch. vintage eight is incredable.
i watch all of your videos every time you post, but somehow this one keeps making me come back, vintage 8 is definitely one of the best analog horror content creator and it shows, the story is just so unique and it keeps you intrigued
You know its a good day when marcus uploads a 1 hour long video
🤖 DETECTED. COMMENT INVALIDATED
And you will get bored or not
Hearing "Hello Landon" while listening to this in the background genuinely gave me a jump.
lmao
Winter of 83 and then Sinkhole literally the two I wanted you to cover the most.
I never expected the story to turn out this way, also, i just love the way Vintage 8 makes analog horror, no jumpscares really, no tapes, just text, and pictures.
marcus's new facial hair is just ✨fabulous✨
What’s crazy is I know this footage. My dad did work regarding the aftermath of this sinkhole. It’s insane to see it in an analogue horror.
For anyone curious- it was caused by a collapsed salt dome
You know, The One has a pretty good plan here. I mean, why chase down your food if you can just talk it into jumping into your mouth on its own? Promise the humans that you'll make us something supremely powerful, return some part of ourselves that we think is missing. Or that we can be convinced is missing.
It's a brilliant plan, assuming The One wasn't telling the truth about it all. Either way, truth or lie, it gets to eat its fill with minimal effort.
Hey, it's a tactic that works in nature. Anglerfish do pretty much the same thing but with light instead of sound.
@minimalbstolerance8113 True.
Vintage Eight is definitely in my top five favorite analog horror creators.
I love this one. You know, your previous videos led me to consuming Vintage 8's catalogue. Thanks!
Jeffrey (the guy that jumped in) is the guy that voice the TV in "It Lives in the Static." Also another great Vintage 8 story. Loved the way he said, "Randall," in that story. 😂
Fun Fact: the sound the sink hole in this is from a real blackhole recorded by NASA
I believe this is a part of series involving Oracle or rather Prophet as it dubs itself in this one, I know it includes the Tangi virus and a few others are hinted at being a part of it. That said, I am glad you are reacting to Vintage Eight's content, as I feel their work deserves a great deal more love than it normally gets, so thank you for showing these gems to a wider audience. That said, take care and stay safe.
Anything that is vintage eight will be good so I'm glad we have sometheing else from them to watch. Thank you for always covering them.
Hi
Some of your questions might be answered if you watch one of Vintage Eight earlier analog horrors; it's called "One of Us". SPOILERS BELOW
Basically, there are two factions, the Backward Many and the Forward Few. The Forward Few are descendents of angels, while the Backward Many infects people who aren't part of the Forward Few, just like we see in Sinkhole. The Backward Many used time travel to create the world that Landon saw in his visions from the Eye. The Forward Few stopped this by sending a message through time, explaining that while the present was lost, there was a way to save everyone by getting the message to someone in the past who can ensure that the majority of humanity share the bloodline of the angels
I love this video marcus, i havent watched it yet but i sah its gonna be awesome! I love your work marcus!:)
got excited the second i heard " cate's crossing " since didnt know vintage 8 made more stuff other than children under the house!!
holy shit oracle
2:40 I’m not even a Southerner, but the way he pronounced “Bayou” physically hurt me 😅
Ikr
Bro, I don't sleep well or deal with downtime well thanks to some trauma from combat with the Marine Corps. I've always enjoyed ARG and stories, and I wanted to say thank you. You going through, giving thoughts, reading, and narrating helps my enjoyment of the video and has really helped. Just wanted to say that cuz it deserved to be heard.
I feel like I need to point out the fact that oracle is red instead of white, this might be a bit far fetched but maybe it means something. It might also mean Oracle and Prophet are different beings.
I've never been a fan of humanity failing in analog horror, and I hope that's not the end result of Vintage 8's story. If humanity loses, then who the heck is watching the tapes?
I love how Marcus gets lost in the sauce so often that he reads the ending to this story about a supposed "natural gas explosion" and immediately jumps into theories because he's so fucking gay for lore that he forgets that normal people in the setting have to make up some sort of explanation for themselves as to why a mile wide sinkhole is just GONE one day.
hand FLEW over my mouth when i saw oracles intro i am so excited to see how this goes
Didn't expect to see a video that fast after it was uploaded but damn I just love your vids :3
Thanks for the support! Im gonna try to upload videos daily til the New Year so expect a new analog horror/horror game video everyday!
oracle's appearance was shocking bro, it was unexpected omg.
20:37 i was indeed shook aswell man
Oracle is absolutely my favorite character out of any horror series on youtube like omg
OUR BOY GOT A SPONSOR THIS TIME LETS GET IT
Missed opportunity for the Prophet to say "Nuh uh" as an alternative to No.
vintageeight never misses (neither do you)
When I first watched this a few months ago, I had war flashbacks the second I hear "Hello, "
Both of us had the same exact reaction Marcus 😭
Oracle/Prophet just saying “nah nah” made me laugh ngl
21:20 Thank you, Marcus. Oracle appreciates your worship.
"The sinkhole consumed the makeshift facility and the researchers assigned to it."
The SCP Foundation: What is this? Amateur hour?? Git gud scrubs!
I can’t be the only one who’s to scared to watch analog horror without Marcus
2 1 hour videos in 2 days? Incredible!
edit: WHAT THE HELL IS ORACLE DOING IN HERE-
Marcus I swear I’m so nervous to watch these analog horrors by myself but with you doing a cover with them it helps explain it and drains my fear a bit :,) KEEP GOIN MARCUS!
“Crazy? I was crazy once they locked me in a room a rubber room a rubber room with rats the rats made me crazy”
i've been waiting for you to cover this one forever! Extremely common vintage eight W
Another good analog horror by the great vintage 8
8 likes, nice
The thumbnails are so good you fool me that its actually a real document
Its a time hole that be growing
So many souls have been devoured that it is conscious
And since they all travel backwards through time, technically it has been conscious since the birth of the universe
1:02:40 Sinkhole: I am gonna rewrite history Nature: NUH UH
When the music is too much of a banger it makes you into a killer:
I'm going to have to go back and rewatch the Oracle video because I swear when it is talking to the guy that was left to work on it and it starts listing all the things that could end humanity one of the things that it lists is a sinkhole in Louisiana. It's kind of sad that Oracle wanted to take care of humanity at that point but eventually falls to the being beyond the sinkhole.
I love how he’s talking about/encouraging oracle likes it’s a dog/young kid
It’s so funny
This got me thinking about Drakengard honestly with its Ending E
The ending depicts a haunting final boss in the form of a rhythm game with the song mainly being composed of church bells. It’s not epic or ceremonial, it’s just haunting and catchy…
And those bells were the sign that humanity in that universe was going to become extinct…
I love ur work Marcus keep it up
Fun Fact: sinkholes always have two ends, one takes in, the other rushes stuff out
The sounds they heard inside the sinkhole at normal speed to me sounded like extremely muffled screams
What it is really is The sound of a black hole, spitting out some star dust or some shit like that
The sass coming out of Prophet "FINALLY a question worth answering"
