I'm actually from the Ocean County Pine Barrens, so this was a real pleasant surprise! Seeing the exact area I grew up represented in analog horror is a treat, tho it is kind of surprising that it hasn't been done before. The Pine Barrens really are one of the creepiest places to be at night, it makes it perfect for a horror setting. Looking forward to seeing where this goes!
Burlington county Pines adjacent here.... It's prob because everyone boils down our supernatural tales to "Jersey Devil" - they just don't know how rich our history and deep our scares go.
@@258thHiGuy It does help, considering signs and other things planted into the ground can get knocked over or go missing/even stolen. So marking stuff on trees where it can stay there for eons is a much better way to engrave the markings and last longer than if you got a paper sign that blew away by the harsh winds and such.
@@258thHiGuy It's definitely a real thing, it's just not random. They're used as trail markers which are pretty handy if you know how to read them, plus they don't blow away or damage the trees or anything.
I’m a piney, and the Pinelands is a place to be respected. It’s one of the last (and largest) spread of the Atlantic coastal coniferous forest ecoregion, so it’s easy to get lost in the endless spread of flat, sandy pine forest. Don’t litter, don’t follow any whistling or high-pitched screeches, leave before sunset, and be SAFE.
People like you who care about people's safety and just want to warn people: exist Some idiotic drunk teenager: * does the literal opposite of what you say *
So the rules are: go off the trail whenever you see a cool tree or something, only bring the gatorade you've been working on during the drive over, know the forest's a coward who won't do shit, and stay inside as long as you'd like? Do I got that right?
just seeing "An unholy holds dominion over the woods" written out got me to laugh...and then the footage of the Masked People actually terrified me. you suckered me in with cheese like some kinda mousetrap!
Came from Reddit, and this is awesome! It reminds me of Gemini Home Entertainment, and that was my favorite analog horror webseries. Instantly subscribed. You can really feel the effort you guys have put into creating this, those shots in the woods at night were really well done. I also totally digged the concept of the Masked People cult and that "unholy entity", would love to see it being expanded upon. Here's hoping you guys produce much more!
I really want to know if this series is maybe about a cult, cause why else would there be people with animal masks supposedly hunting for lost hikers in the woods for hundreds of years? Also, does the park rangers know about them, if so I wonder if they are trying to the visitors safe or are they involved with the animal masked people?
Reminds me of some experimental films I watched in college that were like this. Fake warnings and stuff. Emergency broadcast signal I think was it's name
This looks and sounds like something i could find in the vhs section of my old public library... Weird part is i remember seeing stuff like this but not quite like this growing up.
After watching all four videos, I can say this could compare to Gemini Home Entertainment (which is my favorite ARE/ARG). I am hooked and can't wait for the next installment.
there’s no way a series made for fun would actually be used for learning uses 😂. are the masked people like a real thing up there and this isn’t made up??
@@realcoopr3 Yeah. I grew up in New Jersey, and it's real. My friend Jim was lost to the forest in 10th grade. Bastard just had to wander off, and found himself on a false path. I'm pretty sure they still haven't found the whole body.
I really want someone to make an analog horror story based in Bulgaria. It has so many places to hide *bodies* ! The Lakes, the unsuspected forests and so many more places! I personally recommend the Seven Lakes of Rila, some of the Lakes are named after *bodyparts* ! It has some really deep ones so it's really good for dead bodies! Edit: this is joke but I do really want an analog horror based in Bulgaria
ah so instead of rules of 3 it's rules of 4 for the spooky stuff to come out. But seriously tho I like the inspiration this takes from some of the more naturey parts of GHE. Lookin forward to seeing where this goes
Great video, was this at all inspired by the movie “The Last Broadcast”? If not give it a watch, great Pine Barrens movie, and it’s said to be a source of inspiration for the Blair Witch project
Hiking in the Pine Barrens can be a wonderful experience, but it is not without its dangers. You might happen to run into a bloody Russian man being chased by two Italian mobsters.
Saw Emmortalmarcus did a video about this series, saw the first 30 seconds and then stopped to come see it in full fot myself. Instantly, I think you've 100% NAILED the look of genuine analog quality, the music is spot on, and that synthesizer for the more ominous parts? *Chef's Kiss* Succulent. The found footage example here actually balances nicely between the shakiness of how a person would actually run with a camera, while using the light to watch their footing, and just enough so we can clearly see the progress and direction, without a sense of motion sickness. I have criticisms, but I want to see the rest of what's out before making them. But good stuff so far. (And I'll say it; this is a hell of a lot more compelling already than The Mandela Catalogue. I'm still not sure why that series gets credit it does for its quality.) Regardless, new subscriber, looking forward to the rest. Also, c'mon, I fuckin' LOVE the Jersey Devil. How can I not give a series a try that has connection with it?
This is absolutely fantastic. Should in my opinion keep with this aesthetic and it’s like a sub genre of analog horror like the Sabre orientation video from the office
You played it safe and stuck to the tried and true tropes, but that's OK. Entertaining, and better than 99% of the drek out there that calls itself analog horror.

"Hiking in the woods is a great experience! Just make sure to stay on the right trails, because there's a mystery cult worshipping a forbidden god here. On second thoughts, just get the fuck out and don't hike!"
Están estos videos de y es cierto que se escuchas un silbido de lejos esto es un video y no es real pero de mi país que soy de Argentina si alguien te sirvan en el oído escuchas un silbido de lejos nunca que hacerle caso y coco se tiene que sirvan en la noche en serio estoy esperando mucho pero si es peligroso escuchar es debido a las 4 de la mañana o a las 5 de la mañana espero que saquen un capítulo de los videos 🙂
The concept of atleast this first episode is definatley alot like pet semetary, I mean I'm pretty sure at this point that there is a cult in the woods, worshipping some entity,and they seem to be maybe gathering sacrifices. I think there gathering sacrifices because of the footage of them chasing someone down.
Was this sponsored by a coalition of business owners at the Jersey Shore? Because after seeing the warnings about the Mask People, I think I will be vacationing at the beach instead of hiking.
El vídeo nos informa acerca de medidas de cuidado que debemos tener en cuenta a la hora de hacer senderismo, el vídeo nos muestra formas de encontrar pistas que nos guiarán hacia el camino correcto por si nos perdemos y nos dan una lista de cosas que debemos llevar para estar seguros, al final nos advierten que debemos tenerle miedo al bosque, ya que hay una entidad mundana que tiene dominio sobre el bosque (mundano se refiere a algo no religioso qu se opone a lo sagrado o espiritual) las ofrendas que le demos aumentaran su fuerza, si estás en el bosque y escuchas un silbido es porque te encontraste con una pista falsa. Después de esto se puede ver a un hombre que acaba de ver algo y al final encontrarse a alguien con máscara de paloma. (No soy muy bueno explicando y mucho menos si el vídeo está en inglés xd, hice lo mejor posible para que puedas entender)
FINALLY. New Jersey getting proper representation in analog horror
New Jersey is basically a real life analog horror so im surprised it took this long
@@BigScreamingBaby that’s what I’ve been saying!!
@@Wizardmutt Looks like someones finally listened.

But not the pineys
But right on the border of them…
If the Jersey Devil over here escapes the pineys…
It’s over for me

Noice (fear the forest)
I HATE PINEYS
Nah, I recommend not following this guy’s advice. Give natural selection a chance.
So the rules are: go off the trail whenever you see a cool tree or something, only bring the gatorade you've been working on during the drive over, know the forest's a coward who won't do shit, and stay inside as long as you'd like? Do I got that right?
@WADEandJUSTwade he a little confused but he got the spirit
Man thanks for doing a summary for me now i can skip the video 😄👍
Damn I’m listening to that but why don’t we switch out the hiking knife with a panzershreck
just seeing "An unholy holds dominion over the woods" written out got me to laugh...and then the footage of the Masked People actually terrified me. you suckered me in with cheese like some kinda mousetrap!
This music is suspiciously soothing
Yeah, it really does mix well with the atmosphere that the creator of this series is trying to put in the series.
My mon love Alessandro Alessandroni
I absolutely adore this!
The fact that you used old school fonts and an actual VHS effect makes me really happy.

As a south jersian, this series is displayed in schools once a year k-8th for educational purposes.

Why did the masked basterd at the end jumpscare the hell out of me?

Jumpscare approaching at 5:03; actual jumpscare at 5:07
best vhs effects i’ve seen in an analog horror
0:31 The logo is real, which definitely adds to the realism.
The fact that I live in New Jersey makes this even more intimidating
An analog horror set in my home county? I’m excited
Nice to see such an important ecosystem being represented!
Well done, I'm glad I stumbled across this when I did! Also, hello from the past Wendigoon.

He killed 16 Czechoslovakians. The guy was an interior decorator.
this looks really well made! it feels authentic, i'm so glad that i decided to give this a watch before diving into nasxeen's video on it.

Great audio design. So far so good, I'm subbing in. Hope this channel blows up
gosh the effects really give off an old time vibe! it's quite lovely!
What was chasing the cameraman?
As a hiker, this is how the safety manuals feel sometimes tbh, just how hiking is
You played it safe and stuck to the tried and true tropes, but that's OK. Entertaining, and better than 99% of the drek out there that calls itself analog horror.
Hey fellow Jew!!!!
imRATZZ exposed me to this, and I must say that this is pretty good.
I'm just sad that I haven't discovered this earlier...
5:08 this actually scared me holy shit

3:38 “when” the path becomes unclear, not “if”
5:00 camera person trips on something red? Or trips and the camera goes red

I like how you handled the jump scares.
"Hiking in the woods is a great experience! Just make sure to stay on the right trails, because there's a mystery cult worshipping a forbidden god here. On second thoughts, just get the fuck out and don't hike!"
“Fear the forest” how about simply rot in bed and never leave the house? Touch grass? No thanks
I love finding new analog horror series that are actually done well!! Looking forward to seeing more!
I have been angry about my home state getting no representation. But this happened and it even focused on an area near where i am!! :)
Never go hiking at night
as a new jerseyian i’m quite happy with this
My Partner is a NJ native and can confirm the Jersey Devil is out here chilling.
S and A: ok this is dull. F: uhhh ok this is starting to become what people have said, E: oh they’re screwed
I may have poopied
It's been a _long_ time since I've gotten the kind of chills I felt seeing him run into one of the masked guys
4:46 Jumpscared me.
I got jumpscared by nothing 💀
5:08 Ok ya got me!
Wait, doesn't the Jersey Devil live in the Pine Barrens? Or am I thinking of somewhere else?

I actually got scared that's not easy to do so well done
Was that guy wearing a pigeon mask? Is that why he was whistling?

Awesome!!!!!!!!
I remember our teachers showing us these videos growing up in Ocean. Couple of my friends still swear they saw the masked people once.

Alright, I think I'm gonna like this series!
thanks a lot now I’m scared of the pine barrens BECAUSE I LIVE 21 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE PINE BARRENS
yep I’m moving out of NJ
but at least our hockey team ain’t as bad
As a NJ resident, i can confirm this us true
Okay, who else would just start to whistle on the right trail that your supposed to stay on JUST TO FUCK WITH THE OTHER HIKERS?
Bad idea if whistling indicates you're gonna die.
is this based off of the whole jersey demon story?
An underrated thing about videos like this is the background music is nice to listen to outside of the video
this shit made me glunky :B
THAT JUMPSCARE GOT ME GOOD
Me mie jajaj
So I take it this is _not_ how I find wendussy?
5:06 white person jumpscare
Most normal day in New Jersey
Ah, so this is what Paulie and Christopher went through.
5:08 I'm so sorry, but I laughed hard as fuck in that part.
