I know this was supposed to be scary but I can’t help but imagine a creature living behind the door hearing something land outside its house, looking at the camera, and yeeting it back into space like someone threw trash on its front lawn.
I've managed to figure some out, like "standby", sets of numbers, etc. Then when the door appeared, "wait, that can't be right." "We're seeing the exact same thing, that's a door, it's not possible", etc
at several points they are discussing trajectory and coordinates, most likely just pre-landing data points, missed the feed when the door appeared though, seemed like 3-4 feeds overlapping
@@kcrelax3330 With a creepy face on it. Lol you know you're not brave or better than other people just cuz you claim to not be scared of something. You know that, right?
Somehow, I just learned about this video and totally missed it 2 years ago. What a great ride that was, I almost had as much fun as I had with "skywatching" a few years ago, which is my favorite Local58 vid
I think this is the first time we’ve heard someone express actual confusion or even just the idea that we get “spoken words” for the first time in this series
The Space Livestream presentation is phenomenal, and feels very believable. As a frequent watcher of those kinds of streams, hats off for the production on this one. Best Halloween Ever!
There's a door on a "Comet Skull" and *something* threw the lander after opening it. Interesting, I hope there's more information either on site or hidden in the speech/recording, because all I understood was them telling some stats about Eidolon and how the door was impossible. Still an enjoyable end to Halloween and a neat addition to the series.
I think people were kind of expecting the usual approach to the horror bit in this video and were disappointed by it. Understandable considering some had to wait almost 30mins for the climax. We have to remember that local58 switched to digital last year, meaning that the analog horror arc is over. We're cruising through a new era of local58. Those who remember the last video will recall that whoever was hijacking the signals didn't want the channel to switch to digital, even went as far as saying the channel "betrayed" them. At the end, they highlighted how they don't care since "there are other receivers." Cut the hydra's head, and two will take its place. This is one of those "other receivers." The lander is just the beginning of a huge new arc for this project and am excited to be onboard.
I would agree, if the uploads were more frequent and solid to honor their analog predecessors. 30 mins of very little content after more than a year IS disappointing.
Personally I don't mind the build up- it was handled really well, and the tension was felt throughout the whole thing (at least for me). The door and comet-alien are just kinda silly though- and I'm really not feeling that level of slapstick with a series like this. The tension I was feeling went out immediately when the door showed up, tbh. It kills the whole skull vibe, and ends on something... throwing the probe back into space? Like- okay, I guess... It feels like an elaborate troll, more than a lore entry.
@@80s_graffiti I do agree that the 30mins approach had a mixed feeling in the audience, myself included. My guess is that this video is foreshadowing multiple things and Kris is trying to incentivize those willing enough to dissect all of them throughout the video.
@@80s_graffiti the thing is that this kind of content takes a long time to make, even when you're really good at it. i wish there could be more, too, but i think L58 is also of the *quality over quantity* mindset, which does come down to opinion and preference in regards to "quality" but that's a whole other thing.
The commitment here is astonishing! Making it actually as long as a livestream, instead of having glitches jump forward minutes at a time is bold. With distorted talking the entire time! Definitely one of my favorite local 58 videos. It seems it kept everyone's attention too (though I had it at 2x speed till the last minute)

The fact that the sheer power of building tension, ominous audio work, and overall tonal perfection can get me to feel a level of FOREBODING COSMIC TERROR FROM A FRICKING DOOR IN A ROCK just goes to show how genius this is all put together
Doorman said "GET THE ****** OFF MY PORCH" and just threw the satellite back into space. Mind you it took 25 minutes for that thing to land and Doorman threw it the same distance except it took only seconds
physicist here, there's some interesting stuff here, some of which might be intentional so: 3:25 high albedo means the object is bright, which would make surface features easier to discern instead of harder. 3:25 its aphelion (furthest point to the sun) would make it more of an irregular asteroid than a comet, a comet needs to spend most of its time reallllllly far away in space in order to have a tail like we see in the video. What's the tail made from if it stays so close to the sun, it can't be ice and carbon dioxide like in a normal comet. Also, it's perihelion is 1.01AU, which is only 1% further from the sun than the Earth. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a close approach (if you think of a 3D sphere, this object could be at any point, so it could be anywhere from 0.01 - 2.01AU from the Earth at closest approach). 5:57 *Arecibo.* was a huge radar that shot out pings of radio waves, and looked at what came back, kind of like the sonar of a bat, or submarine. For it to be so high resolution, this asteroid is probably *close*, so maybe closer to .01AU ! Also... given it's like sonar, if there were anything on the asteroid, it would have certainly noticed itself being shot with pings of radio looking at it. Spooky. It might be interesting to people that Arecibo collapsed in 2021, I wonder if that might come into play in the story, i kind of doubt it though. there is one thing which is definitely a mistake here, and that's that planetary radar like Arecibo doesn't really make an "image" in the way you'd imagine, so the pattern of "shadows" you'd get would be completely unrelated to the shadows of visible light, meaning that the image from 6:30 would actually look extremely different (i.e. only one of them would look like a skull). ruclips.net/video/AAJTHsjYoPA/видео.html this is a cool video about how they work 27:40 that door must be *huge*, the very smallest asteroids that have been spotted and chosen to be landed on are at least hundreds of meters across, crazy
@@thehonorablereverendaddiso1943 So, S-type stony asteroids tend to be more reflective than C-type or mostly iron objects, I'm not sure how it completely breaks down by mineral but it would certainly make sense.
I like this video. At first when I saw it I looked at it a little, but thought it was too long and stopped watching. But I came back today and I'm glad it's at the length it is. I watched it fastforwarding in 10 second amounts most of the way, but it wouldn't have had the same effect if it'd been shorter. Skipping and seeing the creepy image just steadily getting bigger was a real vibe. There was almost this "inevitable" kind of feeling, slowly approaching doom, that really worked on me. Another creator I follow online who makes irregular videos, when asked why his videos used to come out more regularly, says "I make videos at the same speed I always have. I make 1 video per good idea I have for a video." I like and respect that it's the same for you Kris, every one is another different interesting concept. I'm glad I'm on the subreddit and could still get the link, I would have been sad to have missed it.
I love that the creepiness or uneasiness at the end does not come showing something alien or unknown to us. Simply taking something normal and mundane for us, and showing it in a context where it makes no sense to be here. Making it unsettling instead.
damn they hit us with four countdowns and then slammed the door honestly though? good. i liked this experience and can't wait to analyze the speech that will inevitably be deciphered eventually and figure out what the hell all of this was
I like this one a lot. The slow suspense and build. The little nuggets of info and world building. You get lulled into a false sense of security over the course of the video with the voices in the back just going on about trajectory. Then it shifts, you see something, the voices notice too. So good. Cant wait to see where we are going.
I love this. Masterful use of audio, timing, and a slow drip of information to keep you hooked into what would usually be mundane (to most) broadcast The skull was never a skull. Maybe the door isn’t a door, either. We expected something monstrous and got something so banally mundane it loops right back around into something potentially so terrifying there’s no sense or comprehension to be found. Genuine eldritch horror.
local 58 is one of my favourite horror series out there, i can't wait for this holy shit edit: this video was really good at mastering tension over a an almost 30 minute countdown, there's so much to unpack- good job!!
I really liked the concept for this one: NASA Livestream analogue horror. Very appropriate considering the DART mission last month is still relatively fresh in everyone's minds. Watched the whole thing live, entranced by the object slowly growing larger and more clear, but... the ending didn't do it for me. It was a bit of a bait and switch, and the last minute or so has so few frames that whatever implication they were going for is too vague to be much of a payoff.
I guess the payoff is supposed to be that the celestial objects aren't alive but are rather vessels of sorts for beings that live inside them, without showing what those beings look like.
Everything felt great until the door showed up with a literal knob and key-slot. If this was an april fools, I'd believe it and not feel kinda cheated for the long wait and triple countdown of the video. If it was anything else, like a giant hole in the skull rock's head with a creature coming out to fling the probe out with more frames to see the eldritch monstrosity then I would have probably really appreciated it more and it would have impacted me much more strongly than a human-like door that just disappears after a frame.
call me crazy but i like it simply because of my own theory that the door was just hastily edited out of the broadcast with a fill tool; fits with the theme of censorship of all the supernatural shit on local58. EDIT: then again, it is 2006, so technology might be behind that stage yet
@@AmRosary05 This is supposed to be set in present day, 2006 would be when the comet was spotted and named. There are a couple of amateur photographs displayed from 2008 and then one from 2017 at 8:24. And even a false contract from Feb 2022 at 21:54. So your theory still holds up.
I can't stand jumpscares! I wish there were more horror games like this, inducing fear through through unnerving atmosphere and visuals rather than opting for cheap tricks like jumpscares...
@@davidstinger1134 were not afraid of jumpscares, it's that jumpscares just don't cut it anymore, they're too boring and overrated. We crave something that cuts deep and slow, makes you edge over to having that feeling of uncanny valley in a digital sensation, we want something that makes us question our sanity...
This had to be the most technically challenging piece you've produced, and certainly the most satisfying for myself (a lifelong space geek) personally!!
This is the greatest Halloween present we as an internet could have possibly received, if you see this Kris: thank you for the enduring phenomenality of your work
I watched the DART satellite crash, my grandparents and sister weren’t as excited as I was. I had never been so stoked to see a piece of machinery cut out.
Have some of the people here never watched a space stream or what? The job of recreating a live broadcast from a satellite was genuinely impressive, and the atmosphere and tension as it approached the skull was incredible.
Man it's fucking wild watching what could be considered Mr. Analoghorror streaming and having Nexpo and Alex Kister, among others. Like a big ol' family reunion
The door scared me. People often hallucinate what they relate to, and the alien was trying to relate to the astronaut. I also believe the face in space is an illusion, and people as a whole relate to faces---but there really are no faces.
Well that sufficiently scared the shit out of me. So happy to see the return of LOCAL58. One of the best horror channels on the platform, and continuing to prove it
@@WobblesandBean And I'm tired of the little girls saying how scary a fucking normal human door is. It's weird, but weird != spooky. Or scary. Or even suspenseful. It's just weird for weird's sake.
Wow! I'm actually here for a premiere for once, I hope this video is super wholesome! Local 58, just a completely ordinary news station. Perfect for listening to while looking at the moon 👁 🌔
2006 is part of one of the designations of the comet, not the date of the landing. One of the photographs was dated early 2022 so the landing is pretty much present-day.
@@asystole_ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_designation_in_astronomy#Comets Based on this, I believe that the designation means the comet was the first to be found in the second half of August 2006
So, I replied in a few threads with this, but for anyone who sees this: No, it's not supposed to be intelligible. If you Google for "local58 close transcript", you'll find a thread from July of 2024 where someone asked if there was one and Kris actually replied explaining that he was just reading transcripts from one of the Apollo missions and distorting them to hell and back. If you can make something out, it probably was *meant* to be heard. Otherwise, it's basically just a soundtrack.
Dude, the heck? Somehow my brain COMPLETELY FORGOT I had watched this till now, wow, even though i was here the day it released, this is some good stuff man
It leads up to a foreboding, and then the tension as it went on... Well if we're assuming the same continuity applies. Spoilers below. This foreboding matches well with "A Show for Children". The first skeleton of that show matches with the GPS showing. The second skeleton, with its massive webs and peculiar shape, that is the thing in the Moon. The third found, is a hole. A hole, like the one in Eidolon. The appearance of the door doesn't particularly scare me. However, someone has pointed out that the use of this rather human door (and the fact that it vanishes suddenly) may suggest that it was put there by whoever is monitoring the cast. Likely our speaker, who seems to not only get increasingly panicked the closer we get to the asteroid, but there are other people on the line (seemingly). The initial tone appeared much earlier in the reveal, when distortions first started. Multiple voices, and a telling sign that something was off or maybe gone wrong, but they couldn't stop the broadcast. Those distortions were likely not coming from the rock itself, but in fact, from us. We were actively distorting the footage to edit in a door. Because whatever is in that hole, like with the hole in "A Show For Children", death is preferable than facing it. At least, given how the series has gone so far, that's what I think.
At first I was doubting if I would be able to watch the whole thing, but I did without ever skipping ahead and I enjoyed it, the end was really unexpected.
On a rewatch, this really does feel just like one of those NASA events and that is such a cool aesthetic to tap into for horror, I love whenever I can actually understand what the voices are saying. The only critique that I still hold is that the payoff could’ve been a bit more grandiose for the buildup leading up to it, but this video is rich with worldbuilding and builds a great atmosphere
Just a little something I found, In the video Real Sleep, one of the flashing messages says "your home has another door" Just a little interesting detail.
I can't wait to see what the legend has in store this time. Hopefully the writing is even better than the first episodes. MODERN COSMIC HORROR FOR THE WIN!
It won’t have anything in store unfortunately. Most likely won’t ever come up again. I really hope I’m wrong, but I’m not even totally sure what you mean by “this time” there’s still an unsolved mystery, the thought research initiative is unexplained, people dug into the site for months and it didn’t really lead anywhere, there’s no explanation for that giant alien in the GPS video, etc. I just feel like when Kris keeps talking about “the greater canon and lore” he needs to give us a crumb. *anything*. It’s been years with almost no developed canon. What would you say the lore actually *is* after all this time? “The moon is alive, the TRI is a thing that exists, creepy stuff happens like people getting absorbed by the moon” that’s it. That’s all we have after all this time. I really don’t know what to think of the lore, maybe I need to change my own expectations. If it’s just a series of loosely connected horror concepts that take place within the same universe, I totally understand that. That’s cool. But the creator keeps talking about how there’s a deeper lore to be uncovered and this whole massive canon, but nothing ever comes of anything, nothing ever leads anywhere. A new element will be introduced and then never brought up again. I don’t ever think this door will be explained
@@PurgPurg agreed. I liked it better when the videos seemed like found VHS tapes that somehow were corrupted either by the person recording or the channel itself. I preferred it anthology style over interconnected universe. And now it seems that the videos are more about the ARG elements than being able to stand on their own as a horror video.

there is one thing which is definitely a mistake here, and that's that planetary radar like Arecibo doesn't really make an "image" in the way you'd imagine, so the pattern of "shadows" you'd get would be completely unrelated to the shadows of visible light, meaning that the image from 6:30 would actually look extremely different (i.e. only one of them would look like a skull). ruclips.net/video/AAJTHsjYoPA/видео.html this is a cool video about how they work
27:40 that door must be *huge*, the very smallest asteroids that have been spotted and chosen to be landed on are at least hundreds of meters across, crazy
Maybe the comet tail is debris?
Also, can you confirm the factoid presented at 9:09
Around 10:18, it actually says something about the approaching or aphelion at the bottom
@@thehonorablereverendaddiso1943 So, S-type stony asteroids tend to be more reflective than C-type or mostly iron objects, I'm not sure how it completely breaks down by mineral but it would certainly make sense.

It's about time we start to transition towards digital horror.
Why should Analog get to have all the fun?
digital can be spooky as well, just look at that artifacting 😱
Digital Horror is Twitter, sir.
Ooh, but they already transitioned to digital! Did you not see the video they released about it? 😏
You mean normal horror?
@@Hansengineering take your internet and go, you magnificent bastard.
I like this video. At first when I saw it I looked at it a little, but thought it was too long and stopped watching. But I came back today and I'm glad it's at the length it is. I watched it fastforwarding in 10 second amounts most of the way, but it wouldn't have had the same effect if it'd been shorter. Skipping and seeing the creepy image just steadily getting bigger was a real vibe. There was almost this "inevitable" kind of feeling, slowly approaching doom, that really worked on me.
Another creator I follow online who makes irregular videos, when asked why his videos used to come out more regularly, says "I make videos at the same speed I always have. I make 1 video per good idea I have for a video." I like and respect that it's the same for you Kris, every one is another different interesting concept. I'm glad I'm on the subreddit and could still get the link, I would have been sad to have missed it.
Exactly. Little kids up in here saying how boring it is, but I think the suspense is masterful!
It has to be this long else it wouldn't feel like an authentic space live stream.
@@WobblesandBean Suspense? The only suspense was when I was about to fall asleep.
I love that the creepiness or uneasiness at the end does not come showing something alien or unknown to us. Simply taking something normal and mundane for us, and showing it in a context where it makes no sense to be here. Making it unsettling instead.
That's when 58 is at its absolute best.
damn they hit us with four countdowns and then slammed the door
honestly though? good. i liked this experience and can't wait to analyze the speech that will inevitably be deciphered eventually and figure out what the hell all of this was

@@marcoantoniotorres4924No, Morbius.
I like this one a lot. The slow suspense and build. The little nuggets of info and world building. You get lulled into a false sense of security over the course of the video with the voices in the back just going on about trajectory. Then it shifts, you see something, the voices notice too. So good. Cant wait to see where we are going.
it's just 1 year bruh, these organisms never leave 58 alone
21:50 I like to imagine the artist they hired to make that conception realized they weren’t gonna get paid so they created that monstrosity lmao
I love this. Masterful use of audio, timing, and a slow drip of information to keep you hooked into what would usually be mundane (to most) broadcast
The skull was never a skull. Maybe the door isn’t a door, either. We expected something monstrous and got something so banally mundane it loops right back around into something potentially so terrifying there’s no sense or comprehension to be found. Genuine eldritch horror.
local 58 is one of my favourite horror series out there, i can't wait for this holy shit
edit: this video was really good at mastering tension over a an almost 30 minute countdown, there's so much to unpack- good job!!

@@pillgrimm The content provided a sense of satisfaction.
“Brilliantly Crafted” my man its 28 minutes of an astroid
I really liked the concept for this one: NASA Livestream analogue horror. Very appropriate considering the DART mission last month is still relatively fresh in everyone's minds. Watched the whole thing live, entranced by the object slowly growing larger and more clear, but... the ending didn't do it for me. It was a bit of a bait and switch, and the last minute or so has so few frames that whatever implication they were going for is too vague to be much of a payoff.
I guess the payoff is supposed to be that the celestial objects aren't alive but are rather vessels of sorts for beings that live inside them, without showing what those beings look like.
Everything felt great until the door showed up with a literal knob and key-slot. If this was an april fools, I'd believe it and not feel kinda cheated for the long wait and triple countdown of the video. If it was anything else, like a giant hole in the skull rock's head with a creature coming out to fling the probe out with more frames to see the eldritch monstrosity then I would have probably really appreciated it more and it would have impacted me much more strongly than a human-like door that just disappears after a frame.
call me crazy but i like it simply because of my own theory that the door was just hastily edited out of the broadcast with a fill tool; fits with the theme of censorship of all the supernatural shit on local58.
EDIT: then again, it is 2006, so technology might be behind that stage yet
@@AmRosary05 This is supposed to be set in present day, 2006 would be when the comet was spotted and named. There are a couple of amateur photographs displayed from 2008 and then one from 2017 at 8:24. And even a false contract from Feb 2022 at 21:54. So your theory still holds up.
@@AmRosary05 It's meant to be set this month

This video really taps into the most terrifying thing of all: waiting.
I can just imagine the skull zooming through space like: "NYEHEH!"
“NYHEHEH! It is I, the great comet!@
"Heh heh, I got a good one. What did the comet go away? It needed more space."
AAAAAHHHH I'M SO EXCITED. This is literally the only horror I watch. Brainy and unknowable beats jump scares any day.
For real, this channel's horror is top quality
I can't stand jumpscares! I wish there were more horror games like this, inducing fear through through unnerving atmosphere and visuals rather than opting for cheap tricks like jumpscares...
You are just afraid of jumpscares lol
@@davidstinger1134 were not afraid of jumpscares, it's that jumpscares just don't cut it anymore, they're too boring and overrated. We crave something that cuts deep and slow, makes you edge over to having that feeling of uncanny valley in a digital sensation, we want something that makes us question our sanity...
@@kavukkii yeah
This had to be the most technically challenging piece you've produced, and certainly the most satisfying for myself (a lifelong space geek) personally!!
Got hooked on this during summer break, and man, I can't wait to see more - love it, and so glad you're back!
Your destination is ahead. _Turn down._
Now THAT is some awesome space horror.
This is the greatest Halloween present we as an internet could have possibly received, if you see this Kris: thank you for the enduring phenomenality of your work
Right?? Happy Halloween!
I watched the DART satellite crash, my grandparents and sister weren’t as excited as I was. I had never been so stoked to see a piece of machinery cut out.
I just binged watched all your stuff. Fantastic work man, analog horror can be so great if done correctly and you knocked it out of the park.
This guy basically started analog horror.
Literally got yeeted by a door, I was here for premiere
I really like this. Using a very long video really sells the deep space vibe. Watching this made me feel like I'm on an airplane.
Have some of the people here never watched a space stream or what? The job of recreating a live broadcast from a satellite was genuinely impressive, and the atmosphere and tension as it approached the skull was incredible.
Man it's fucking wild watching what could be considered Mr. Analoghorror streaming and having Nexpo and Alex Kister, among others. Like a big ol' family reunion
Asteroid really said "Get off my lawn."
The door scared me. People often hallucinate what they relate to, and the alien was trying to relate to the astronaut. I also believe the face in space is an illusion, and people as a whole relate to faces---but there really are no faces.
I hope a transcription of the conversation exists, there may be some info that helps flesh out what exactly this...rock is

IT'S BACK FROM UNLISTED PURGATORY
Utterly bizarre. I have no idea how this slots into the rest of the L58 canon, but I adore it.
로컬 58 영상들 중에 real sleep 이라는 영상이 있는데 그 영상에서 수 많은 단어들이 스쳐 지나갑니다 그 단어들 중 "너의 집에 문 하나가 더 있다" 라는 문구가 스쳐 지나가는데 그 문이 이것이 아닐까요?
Yes I think you’re onto something
IF YOU ARE AFRAID, WE WILL LOOK TOGETHER.
Well that sufficiently scared the shit out of me.
So happy to see the return of LOCAL58. One of the best horror channels on the platform, and continuing to prove it
Me too. I'm annoyed with the little boys in the comments whining about how it's "not that scary". If you're paying attention, _it absolutely is._
@@WobblesandBean nothing says scary like a door you can buy at Home Depot on an asteroid.
@@kronos6948 ok child
@@WobblesandBean And I'm tired of the little girls saying how scary a fucking normal human door is. It's weird, but weird != spooky. Or scary. Or even suspenseful. It's just weird for weird's sake.

Local 58, just a completely ordinary news station. Perfect for listening to while looking at the moon 👁 🌔
Alternative ending for your comment: "...while looking at .HIS THRONE"
I remember watching this when I was a kid in 2006, my whole family was there. Thank you local 58 for recording such an important moment
I remember when the skull said “it’s moonin’ time” and mooned all over the place
You watched a space mission with amateur photographs taken in 2016?
Truly a man ahead of your time.
2006 is part of one of the designations of the comet, not the date of the landing. One of the photographs was dated early 2022 so the landing is pretty much present-day.
@@asystole_ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_designation_in_astronomy#Comets Based on this, I believe that the designation means the comet was the first to be found in the second half of August 2006

If humanity first contact with Aliens was the equivalent of “Get off my lawn”, I wouldn’t even be mad
Or even worse "Be quiet, they'll hear you"
So, I replied in a few threads with this, but for anyone who sees this: No, it's not supposed to be intelligible. If you Google for "local58 close transcript", you'll find a thread from July of 2024 where someone asked if there was one and Kris actually replied explaining that he was just reading transcripts from one of the Apollo missions and distorting them to hell and back. If you can make something out, it probably was *meant* to be heard. Otherwise, it's basically just a soundtrack.
the music is good. I like the whole weather-channel acid jazz thing Analog Horror leans on.
Dude, the heck? Somehow my brain COMPLETELY FORGOT I had watched this till now, wow, even though i was here the day it released, this is some good stuff man
I highly think that Digital Transition is actually the series finale and CLOSE is just a bonus episode of Local58
True😢
THE RETURN OF THE KING
ITS UNLISTED NOW?!
“Licking doorknobs is illegal on other planets!”
It leads up to a foreboding, and then the tension as it went on...
Well if we're assuming the same continuity applies. Spoilers below.
This foreboding matches well with "A Show for Children". The first skeleton of that show matches with the GPS showing. The second skeleton, with its massive webs and peculiar shape, that is the thing in the Moon. The third found, is a hole. A hole, like the one in Eidolon.
The appearance of the door doesn't particularly scare me. However, someone has pointed out that the use of this rather human door (and the fact that it vanishes suddenly) may suggest that it was put there by whoever is monitoring the cast. Likely our speaker, who seems to not only get increasingly panicked the closer we get to the asteroid, but there are other people on the line (seemingly).
The initial tone appeared much earlier in the reveal, when distortions first started. Multiple voices, and a telling sign that something was off or maybe gone wrong, but they couldn't stop the broadcast.
Those distortions were likely not coming from the rock itself, but in fact, from us. We were actively distorting the footage to edit in a door. Because whatever is in that hole, like with the hole in "A Show For Children", death is preferable than facing it.
At least, given how the series has gone so far, that's what I think.
It’s funny how the logo is simplified to fit in the 2020’s aesthetic.
Truly, the king is back. Rejoice.
At first I was doubting if I would be able to watch the whole thing, but I did without ever skipping ahead and I enjoyed it, the end was really unexpected.
This and Gemini home entertainment are some of the scariest pieces of media to me
On a rewatch, this really does feel just like one of those NASA events and that is such a cool aesthetic to tap into for horror, I love whenever I can actually understand what the voices are saying. The only critique that I still hold is that the payoff could’ve been a bit more grandiose for the buildup leading up to it, but this video is rich with worldbuilding and builds a great atmosphere
Aww sweet, countdown after countdown to start a countdown
I'm so pumped for this, missed Local 58 so much!! The true OG of analog horror!
Just a little something I found, In the video Real Sleep, one of the flashing messages says
"your home has another door"
Just a little interesting detail.
Well that was the longest approach to a mysterious space door I had to sit through
The Moon = His Throne
Eidolon = His summer cottage.
How the hell have I missed this upload for 2 years?! Local58 will be the first channel I've hit that ding bell on.
I can't wait to see what the legend has in store this time. Hopefully the writing is even better than the first episodes. MODERN COSMIC HORROR FOR THE WIN!
It won’t have anything in store unfortunately. Most likely won’t ever come up again. I really hope I’m wrong, but I’m not even totally sure what you mean by “this time” there’s still an unsolved mystery, the thought research initiative is unexplained, people dug into the site for months and it didn’t really lead anywhere, there’s no explanation for that giant alien in the GPS video, etc.
I just feel like when Kris keeps talking about “the greater canon and lore” he needs to give us a crumb. *anything*. It’s been years with almost no developed canon. What would you say the lore actually *is* after all this time? “The moon is alive, the TRI is a thing that exists, creepy stuff happens like people getting absorbed by the moon” that’s it. That’s all we have after all this time. I really don’t know what to think of the lore, maybe I need to change my own expectations.
If it’s just a series of loosely connected horror concepts that take place within the same universe, I totally understand that. That’s cool. But the creator keeps talking about how there’s a deeper lore to be uncovered and this whole massive canon, but nothing ever comes of anything, nothing ever leads anywhere. A new element will be introduced and then never brought up again. I don’t ever think this door will be explained
I agree with that statement almost as much as with this one:
DOWN WITH THE CAPELLAN CONFEDERATION!
@@PurgPurg agreed. I liked it better when the videos seemed like found VHS tapes that somehow were corrupted either by the person recording or the channel itself. I preferred it anthology style over interconnected universe. And now it seems that the videos are more about the ARG elements than being able to stand on their own as a horror video.
