Just to re-clarify it. Again, don't go seek out and harass them, and don't send any hate! To have the guts and creativity to try your hand at making a series at all is an outstanding thing! Although I'm a little exaggeratory at times, I don't think any of these series are some "cardinal sin" or anything. Many of the series shown here have since been moved on from, and I've also been informed that a few of the entries here are from kids. So to balance it out, here's one good thing about each entry. 00:57 - **SM64 1997** - Clearly made by a fan of other SM64 analog series. Some of the scenes show that they're able to alter the game, so if they do another one in the future, I hope they include MORE of that kind of thing! (Also, they've continued to a new series so, like I said in the video, you go man!) 03:27 - **Nickelodeon Hijacking Incident** - As much as people hate this one, that one image they made of Spongebob burning in hell is sick. I hope if they ever make something else they try doing more involving fake screencaps, as they're clearly good at it. 04:56 - **The Bat Incident** - Already mentioned it in the video, but with every new entry it seems they significantly improve with the visuals. The Owl Hijacking video was sick as hell and I can't wait to see more like it as they continue the series. 06:33 - **Justice League Cartoon** - Major props to them for getting an actual Voice Actor for this instead of just having it be scrolling text. Plus the ending image with Dark Superman is also pretty cool. 07:32 - **THE_WOODS.mp4** - Pretty clearly made by a kid, so the fact they were SO inspired by analog horror that they tried to make their own take is wild and awesome. They seem to have dropped the series too, but I hope they continue to make their own stuff, and improve so they can make some really wild stuff. 11:18 - **Guby and Friends** - Again, mentioned it already in the video itself, but the 3D art for Guby (and later his friends) is really REALLY good in my opinion. I hope they can move on from AI and do more with the 3D art talents they clearly have in their arsenal. 12:49 - **Tom Through the Window** - Good in concept. Tom and Jerry could totally lend itself well to horror, so it's very creative in its concept, and some of the art of the series is very good (particularly the shadow man seen at the end of the series). Plus the idea that every episode of Tom and Jerry is someone watching them is super creative, but unfortunately only good on paper (if they hadn't shown that heaven episode, I think it'd be a lot better in that you could better suspend your disbelief, and really make it work!) 16:41 - **Tiffany's Find Out Game** - Again, art really does look like a flashgame. Plus the gore at the end looks very well done and Lacy-games-ish. Could lend itself well to more flash horror stuff should they continue to do so!
@@CutCafe this guy made a different version of the Nickelodeon hijack thing. I think it’s pretty good ruclips.net/video/inN6nOtC1Pg/видео.htmlsi=QmisM0CNNMOLfMmt
Glitched/bloody edits=scary? Gratuitous references to satanism? Main characters casually shrugging off blatantly weird stuff happening around them? Using well known pieces of intelectual property to write a "spooky" story around? It's official guys, the genre has finally fully embraced being the second coming of creepypastas.
I think a note that should be taken into consideration with Guby and Friends and the AI art situation is that AI Art Checkers are not always accurate. While I am not debunking it isn't AI art, I don't think it's accurate to check via the checker. There was an artist recently that got accused of using AI art via an AI checker that also showed higher/similiar numbers to the Pokémon Contests submissions.
I also want to say that I don't mind AI Art used for stuff like this because I've seen a few analog horror series that do use real people's images without permission. You use a historical figure like Reagan or Buddy Holly and you make that well known? Sure, go ahead. But there have been people like a FNAF one where they used images of actual children who went missing (so much so there are laws passed in their names), and that is fucking disgusting. That bothers me more than someone making a fake person's face with AI.
@@griefingg0lem685 Agreed. Like Pastra's Dreams of an Insomniac series uses AI imagery for children as well iirc Edit: Though I have been reminded that Pastra is going back on that idea and remaking that episode due to the usage of AI and the opinion shifting on it.
It's weird that people look at AI art and realize that this isn't how a human would draw something but they don't apply the same logic to the AI art checkers. Plugging art into an AI art checker is the equivalent of taking a lie detector test. It checks for things that might imply AI/lying, but it doesn't actually know whether it is or not.
I've got THOUGHTS about the Bat Incident both as an Analog Horror and Batman fan, but I really don't like how Batsy has so much potential for horror just as he is without the cryptid enhancements thing that goes unexplored in the genre. His whole thing is making criminals FEAR him, to make them look at a dark alley and think that he is watching your every move, and he'll hunt you down if you hurt an innocent person. I want to see THAT explored in Analog horror. Of course, absolutely no hate to the creator the Bat Incident.
Batman says he works alone, but those he hunts know better. Robin, Nightwing, Oracle, Red Hood, Batgirl, Batwoman will all come for you as well. And not just superheroes. When Batman knows you're a criminal, the entire police force finds out. And that's just in Gotham. If you've been unfortunate enough to anger Batman enough, The Justice League themselves will descend upon you. People think that Batman has eyes everywhere. They are right.
@@genericname2747 imagine all the first:the first criminal batmam traped,the first person he saved,the first time someone realized batman was a hero. I imagine an horror short of batman hunting criminals inside of a bank but also batman saving someone who got kidnaped and recorded all
@@TragicJade Analogue horror where the creator has genuine talent for drawing, music making but their work ends up relying on edginess and grossout to "scare" people Edit: Seeing a lot of people going "It's horror that's point" ...No. Horror should build tension, it should always leave you questioning before building up to the dread and scares. Horror isn't the exact same cookie cutter copy/paste format for 5+ episodes. Urbanspook isn't horror. It's creepy for a total of 5 minutes before you realize it's the same lazy format with plenty of plotholes and leaves people asking more questions, and not the good kind
@TragicJade Also he had a meltdown on Twitter when Pastra, a horror youtuber, said he wasn't going to review the analog horror because he didn't like it.
@@TragicJade Pretty much just describing what happened to some victims of a crazy serial killer in extremely overdetailed black background with white text Slides and Art that imitates the victims. It's excessively detailed, and uses shock to incite fear in every episode, so you get desensitized by episode 4.
and the “he trapped me here and ate up my life” is taken directly from the coraline film where, in the scene where coraline gets trapped in the mirror, the ghosts say “but, she locked us here,and ate up our lives”
Honestly, if you ask me, the best way to make an analogue horror series about Batman would be to literally just make a regular Batman story, but told entirely from the perspective of random ordinary people living through it all. Make it about the horror of what it would be like to be a regular citizen of Gotham amidst the mayhem of Batman's typical crimefighting shenanigans.
I have a better idea. Make the series seem through the logs of a man who accidentally killed someone and covering it experiencing the horror of batman. Make it that he is making logs because he knows the bat is after him. Make the batman look like just a heartless vigilante use the series to make a commentary about how dangerous vigilante justice truly is.
Yes, it would be much more creative. Because in the killer's view, it's much scarier to see a blindfolded man with a cape and clothes looking like a bat and beat your ass right there, wouldn't even need a cheap jumpscare or some subliminal message. @@kevinvieira2834
it just discourages people who actually have traumas with those kind of events from venting their own experience into their lacey's games inspired videos :(
The Tom and Jerry one feels like a shitpost rather than some genuine attempt. Also, I personally prefer the ‘Arkham Tapes’ by The Batfeed from what I’ve seen of it.
4:38 Another good one I can think of the is “THE BOILED ONE PHENOMENON”, it has references to real events and people while doing it respectfully (when it is due), intergrading it nicely and most of all, not actually using the real people for shock value.
It's fanbase bombed the /r/AnalogHorror subreddit because the creator posted some weird tweet about seeing a single post there of someone saying they hated it.
It also doesn't use the characters themselves, but rather the personality traits and interactions (for example Job Zamperini's trait of forgiveness Is a direct parellel to the one of the original Zamperini).
@@shinyocelot04archive Funnily enough, the Boiled One was inspired by a meme involving an Alien Sackboy, which has since been dubbed "The Green One" due to a tweet
jesus dont scare me like that, i thought you thought that they weren't doing a good and evil dynamic and were using the real zamperini and so and so (i forgot the other guys name)
I enjoyed this video overall, but I feel including the Bluey series is very unfair. It's clearly made by a kid, and I feel there are so many better options for worst analog horror than "Little Timmy's First Analog Horror Series" (EDIT: I've recently learned that the creator is an adult, but I still think it doesn't deserve to be on this list, let alone being above "The Nickelodeon Hijacking Incident")
Shoutout to all the analog horror series that don't use the actual EAS or Amber alert alarm sound. It's not only obnoxious and cliche, but it can create a false alarm scenario in real life.
Yeah it feels like it was an attempt to be like Lacey but the creator lowkey forgot some stuff I wouldn’t call it the WORST off of that same with the guby thing the ai detectors don’t even work properly half the time
I will say that the idea of turning batman into some kind of horror monster isnt a terrible idea, and actually has precedent within the comics, as some interpretations of batman such as arkham asylum a serious house on serious earth do go out of there way to draw batman in an almost monstrous fashion at certain points to emulate how a criminal or even a normal citizen would see him.
exactly, imo they just executed the idea poorly, like it would be better if they added those elements like in arkham asylum and not just “he’s a creature now”
Just sucks that scarecrow literally has nothing to do with it, like how the hell do you make a batman analog horror without using the character that causes people to hallucinate their worst fears
@@fullofswinehave you watched it? I think it is done quite well. And yes the first episodes were done poorly but they have redone the episodes and if people think bluey shouldn’t be on here neither should the bat
Not only is it silly that so many people choose to use children's characters for horror series, I feel like they're actively TRYING to go out of their way to pick the least scary ones. I'm sorry, but if spongebob is in any given situation, i instantly lose my capacity for fear alsoalso, its an INSANE tonal whiplash to go from people trying to make Tom and Jerry scary to one of most tasteless things I've ever seen on the internet
I do think there are a few children's series that have potential for actual horror. Ed Edd n Eddy always had a weirdly 'ominous' atmosphere, given how empty and alone most of the show feels. I don't even hate the idea of a Super Friends horror (in fact, there's a pretty famous Super Friends horror series from way back in the day, I think it was called "Challenge of the Unknown", or something), since there's always an unspoken 'darkness' to that show. Spongebob though? It's just too bright and fun.
Fuck………. *i appreciate the criticisms you pointed out i’ve honestly had thoughts to just stop with the series because the story has gotten to a point in which i don’t like. looking back at the stuff i made yeah it can be cheesy but a lot of the earlier episodes were made a while ago when i only really watched one AH. i appreciate you actually pointing out the things you liked about the series though. I’ll try and take what you and other people have been saying and try to make it better.*
I didn’t mind the SpongeBob one, until it said *”see you in hell, Stephen”* and it literally disgusted me. A human being with a fascination of the ocean made a cartoon based of his experience in the sea, made our childhoods, only to sadly pass away from ALS, only to be mocked by saying that he’s in hell. This isn’t edgy, this was just disgusting.
You know about urbanspook, i always imagined a joke video where it's just the killers brainstorming the next fucked up thing they'd do with complete boredom on their faces, not even enjoying it anymore just feeling like it's some job they don't like anymore
That's actually a pretty good metaphor for how the series will probably end unless Urbanslug actually starts treating it like... well... just that. A series
@@plagueman3376 “How about between the le-,” “No. We’ve done that for the last eight people. We need something original.” “Carve a smile into em?” “Last eight.” “Well I don’t hear you coming up with anything.” “Okay. We cut the brakes.” “And?” “That’s it.” “That’s it?” “We’re painters! Not everything has to be the Sistine Chapel!”
An analog horror series that I think should've been on this list is a series known simply as South Park Analog Horror. From the shitty vhs filter to anachronistic details, the biggest offense that the series committed was when it used STOLEN fanart.
I don’t really think the Tom and Jerry one isn’t that bad. It’s honestly a kinda creepy concept. Because there are incidents about animals killing owners. So seeing it in analog horror is a sweet bit of originality Edit: thanks for the likes Jesus.
I would agree, but it's just the way it's made and presented : plot holes and wasted potential mainly Like a horror piece about an animal killing their owner sounds interesting on paper and I'm sure it could be done well, but I would not take the Tom & Jerry one as an example for this due to the way it was done
The plot itself is decent. It's just the whole "Tom and Jerry cartoons being used to represent live-action footage" concept is easily the stupidest thing I've ever seen in the analog horror genre. Maybe even internet horror as a whole
@@ShadovvXero No, I think internet horror can be done well (I would immediately redirect to Pastra's own analog horror series for that) but the Tom & Jerry live action fooctage thing was not The concept is good on paper, and this would make for a good written story, in a way...But visually this just ain't it
So here's my thoughts on each of these: 8. I always found the personalized Mario 64 stuff hilarious for how unrealistic it is compared to the rest of the game. 7. This is just in poor taste and terribly edgy. Nothing else to say here. 6. You had Scarecrow RIGHT THERE! He'd be perfect for a Batman horror series! Killer Batman has just been done to death. 5. I don't really have much to say with this one. Really feels like someone's first attempt at Analog Horror to be honest. 4. This just feels like "my first creepypasta" and I hope this creator works on their skills. Top it off with writer slander and you've got a mess of a video. 3. Man I really despised this one. This AI mess is just theorist bait - the series. You cannot get any enjoyment out of it without going out of your way to dissect it, which doesn't make any sense. These types of things are supposed to be approachable on a basic level. 2. Another first attempt at a creepypasta with theorist stuff. Fun. 1. Man, Lacey did this plot and idea so much better. This is just all over the place. TLDR - Just watch The Oddity Compendium instead.
Speaking of Scarecrow, I feel like the concept of Johnathan Crane using his fear toxin to manipulate Batman into commiting murder and other vile actions is really cool to me. And it makes sense since in some interpretations of the villain explore the duality of both characters' greatest strengths - using FEAR to accomplish their goals. Scarecrow using it to dominate others, while Batman uses it to instill dread in the hearts of criminals. So in a way Scarecrow views Batman as a competitor for the title "King of Fear" and as the only fear he has to overcome. So him bringing Bruce down to what is essentially a puppet controlled by fear and manipulating him into doing horrible stuff by exploiting his deepest insecurities and fears, which also inadvertently ruins his image as a justice seeking vigilante in the eyes of Gotham's citizens is something Scarecrow would totally do. If Arkham Knight could execute that idea relatively well, I dont see why it can't work again. Sorry for the yapping, I got to excited to share this and I wanted to know what all of you think. If someone has an ounce of care for this.
number 7 absolutly makes me mad,because the idea of using analog horror to expose real criminals sounds amazing.petscop kinda did it with the newmaker case imagine if they exposed the nickelodeon producers that abused kids,it would be great
@@shemiranthony664 dude,criminals only deserve to be exposed, why should we respect someone that wasn't a respetable persona when alive? That so idiotic,the bastard comit heinous crimes and spend his life free and even after dying we can't give the vicitms a little bit of justice? That so hipocrite,you care more about a criminal than a victim.and does that mean we can't talk about holocaust? Because hitler is dead,we shouldn't "tarnish the deads".I could spend a year talking and i wouldn't be close to listing all the reasons why you are so wrong
I remember Tom Through the Window. The whole "using cartoon as live action footage" was just too much to suspend my disbelief for. At least The Bat Incident had some potential.
Regarding the Batman ARG, I think it would be better to write this story from the perspective of a civilian in the comics. Ordinary citizens or reporters who mistakenly believe that Batman is a vain and fake hero try to find evidence that Batman is a bad guy. Robin and Batgirl throughout the ages are the same vampire who never grows up, thinking that Batman not killing his villains is evidence that they are working together, etc.
Something I’ve noticed about Analog/Digital Horror is that it seems to increase in shock value more and more. The SpongeBob Anomaly. Tiffani school hide out game. It’s just edge for the sake of edge. It’s like they aren’t even trying to be scary anymore.
This happened with creepypasta too when it got popular and children who wrote the stories didn’t realize the severity of what they’re writing about. Unfortunately I think that’s what’s happening here.
I love how the Tom and Jerry one just calls the owner "Mrs. Mammy," which seems dangerously close to an unironic blackface depiction, since that's what the word "Mammy" is usually associated with. I know it's a reference to the character's nickname (not what she was actually called originally) "Mammy Two Shoes," but they really couldn't come up with a different name for her? Also, could they not make a more convincing cursor for the last one? They couldn't even have the mouse cursor slide from point to point, they just drew one in MSPaint and placed it on different parts of the screen?
I mean that's where her nickname in the show comes from- it's not dangerously close to racist it literally is. If you look up clips, Tom and Jerry have on occasion done very racist episodes like many of the shows of the time. It was certainly a choice to still refer to her as that in the analog horror series- was surprised the creator of this video didn't mention it.
@@slothesque8245 I know that's where her nickname came from. It really would have been a better idea to at least call her something other than "Mrs. Mammy," just any other name would (probably) work.
@@sonicfanboy3375 I assume it was because they went with the original shorts, and those ones had her. I'm pretty sure she wasn't actually Tom's owner in the original shorts, she was actually a housekeeper (which makes her stereotypical depiction worse, honestly).
Honestly, If I may talk about guby, The main reason I dislike it is the fact its using a Tulpa as a villain, for whatever reason it doesn't touch on Tulpas as a concept or even as people. Guby is evil and just, brings people to the shadow realm Why not a horror series on a good and evil Tulpa who are fighting, or just, about Tulpas as people since most of the time they are people
Ironically, tulpas are becoming very common and overused, so I understand why they'd go much simpler and not do what many popular videos have done already.
I appreciate you for not including Urbanspook in this video. To be honest, I don't really consider The Painter to be all that bad in comparison to the entries on this list. The art is pretty good, and the same applies to the sound design as well. The biggest issue lies in the storytelling as I think that there are some parts that should've been handled way better, in my opinion.
I think the issue is that the story is so bad, that the series relies on shock value to keep your attention. For example, the story could earn it's shock value if it did something very simple, but long to explain so I'll make a Tl;Dr here, then explain more in depth if your intrested. So tl;dr just make it so the painter is painting the future of his victims. So how I would tell this story is very simple, the painter is a killer that gives their victims a poison that kills them quickly and painlessly. The reason why they are called that is due to them always leaving a disturbing painting at the scene, usually with the victim is a grotesque form. We then would learn that the painter paint the painting then find the person at night, and shows them it, giving them the choice to live, or to take the poison, letting them not go threw there painful death. At first, the police think he would be the one to kill them, but when a kid name Charlie refused to, they just leave with the painting. After the police are called and do there thing, they trust the kid and bring him in to get all the information they could. A week passes with no sign of anything bad, so the police stop watching him. But the day after, someone claiming to be his uncle picks him up from school, and is caught on camera, not looking like the painter at all, and Charlie is never seen again. The police look and can't find him, so when they return to the station and find a package, they open it and see the painting the painter made of Charlie, and now know what he is going threw right now. Sorry for it being long, but I need to get this off my chest, as I feel like this could be so perfect for the series. This allows the shock value to exist, while at the same time, feeling more earned, at least for me.
@igotboredokay.2023 I honestly believe that, if there were at least some build up for the victims, like at least a single sentence about hoe they live nature/pets/something, it would have been much better. Or at the very least hire some guys to be families of victims, cuz the voice acting in that episode where painter broken into the house of a woman was genuinely the best part of this series in my opinion. And the series would have been a lot better if there was an actual person investigating, making these tapes for himself or someone else in his crew, and then having himself reflect in this tapes on his mental health after all these murder. He should have showed us why we should care by having characters that actually care. I will also write here how I would have made it: After a series of gruesome murders in a small town, a well-known detective decides to start working on this case. Paintings don't have any traces of dna on them, and paint and brushes used for creating paintings are different, although no symbolism is seen in the choice of materials. The only thing connecting them is tha fact that paintings are located near the crime scenes, and reference the name of the victim on that crime scene. Then we would see some interrogations of families and close friends of victims, what happened on tha day person went missing, who was close that day, yadda yadda yadda. And not everyone will be in full sorrow, and not every victim will have someone who cares about them to show different situations. And all of that while we see the main painting of the victim and listening to sad or angry speeches. The detective himself would also talk about the case with his friends, with family on the phone, at some times hiding his emotions, on others being sad, and sometimes being disgusted by the happenings. In some episodes, there will be interrogations on the pitential murderers - a bit well-known painters of that town. Interrogations of the shopkeepers who sell different paints about the main customers, while trying to connect all of this with what paint was used, what colors, what brushes, the artstyle of an artist and all of that. The main focus will be on emotional pressure from the fact that such a monster is freely walking, seeking his victim, and how everyone is both scared, disgusted and tired from all this case. One of the murders should put the detective over the edge. Maybe a close friend from work or even a relative that isn't even living near the main place, but still with the same paintings and, instead of a name for a painting, an inscripted message for the detective. With the main scene of emotional breakdown being one of the key points of the series that is built up from the start. But not the culmination. The culmination is when a detective will be able to stop one of the victims to be dead, with a blank canvas near the potential crime scene. He would be so mad that it almost happened and that he couldn't do anything to the murderer, while not considering anything that victim says and not being able to understand anything. This would be a culmination of his feelings, and then.... All cuts to black, with no answers on what is with the case, is painter still free, did detective went insane and dropped the case, and there would prob be a potential for a second season, going in depth on the person we see the tapes through.
How in tarnation is Urbanspook any better than any of this? Like at least the Tiffany School Find Out Game wasn't all edgelord content, there was some somewhat half-baked ideas in the content there. Urbanspook is all trash no substance.
it doesn't really matter, if something looks like AI and an AI image detector suspects it to be AI, you may as well call it AI. it's up to these creators to confirm shit isn't AI at this point if it looks it, because we all know how easy it is to use those "tools." if you refuse to use the image detectors and your instincts to tell when something is AI, you basically can never call something AI because you can't prove it with absolute certainty, unless it's unbelievably obvious like how early AI images were. in the case of AI it's better to be skeptical and wrong than just assume things aren't AI because you can't prove it because the latter leads to AI being adapted more and more until one day everything, music, images, videos, voice acting, dialogue, and story are all AI generated. of course that's the trajectory right now because most people don't recognize or care about AI.
I think Bluey could work, but only if its done in a way that would make it feel real. Maybe it could be like a scrapped episode because it was a bit too dark. Maybe it was an episode about abduction or an episode about abandonment or smth. Just simply a scrapped episode with a more darker message. Nothing too scary, or disturbing, just more tragic and heart-wrenching.
Lacey's Games ripoff drive me insane. what makes Lacey's work is that Ghosttundra knows what theyre talking about. things like Tiffany's School Find Out clearly dont, and it genuinely make me feel gross the whole time, rather than seen and understood like with Lacey's.
I think the Mario 64 Analog Horror could be pretty interesting. Some people see Mario as the hero of video games, while some NPCs see Mario as the villain, viewing him as a monster and a danger to the Mushroom Kingdom itself.
I BEG YOU if you ever make part 2 please mention Sonic.CDN, this is a basic boring sonic series but with actully horrible sprite arts, lazy edits of images and character being 3/4 characters being STOCK GOOGLE IMAGES
@GloriousGhazt I lowkey kind of agree, don't get me wrong no disrespect to people making sonic ARG series because some of them have a lot of effort (and by "some" I mean Sonic PETA which is amazing) but this one is just insanly boring and the opposite of creative
My opinions- 8. Greenio's series is way better. At least the creator of this moved on to better things. 7. That is so disrespectful and edgy. Other than that, it's more bland than moldy cardboard. You can include real people without being an awful person. 6. It feels like satire. Agreed that it's so bad, it's good. Pretty much something you'd see an MST3K-esque series that riffs on internet horror content. 5. This could have been good if it had better writing. 4. I like horror that includes some realism, but this is way predictable and cliché. At least they used a fictional writer this time. 3. Obviously, it's ai-generated. Ironic that the ai models are the scariest thing. 2. The sad part of this? There's actual good Tom & Jerry horror content. I think the protagonist existing in-universe could work, but the execution sucks. 1. As a newbie to Digital Horror/Lost Flash Games, this is just... Why... At least Lacey's Games was respectful about serious topics and had good writing. It's basically the Urbanspook of Digital Horror/Lost Flash Games.
I actually quite liked Guby when I first watched it, but it was INCREDIBLY obvious that many of those images were A.I. Even MatPat didn't notice it! And looking back on it now, it really did kinda suck. It was mostly overused tropes and it makes me kinda mad. Plus, it was super forgettable in my eyes.
I feel like the bias towards using AI art is kind of unfounded, if you really think about it they ARE taking these AI arts and assets to create something original, as opposed to stealing or taking images of real people who didn't ask to be put into horror
@@-HappyMelt- That's fair, but I feel like there was a much better way to do it than using AI. The horror itself was fine, and you can tell there was effort put into it. And if they can do that much, I feel like they could have made the exact same thing in some program or smth
The Bat Incident definitely expects you to be pretty knowledgeable of like 70 years of Batman lore. If you are, it's depressingly spooky. If not, it's more like what you've pointed out, haha.
Analog horror is a subgenre of creepypasta imo, just in video format rather than written word. BTW, the same dude who made Local 58 wrote Candle Cove. lol
I'm gonna be honest, I'm confused and surprised as to why Nickelodeon Hijacking Incident isn't Number 1 on this list considering the fact that it literally uses a REAL LIFE PERSON WHO'S NOT ON THIS EARTH ANYMORE AND MADE HIM INTO A MURDERER WHICH HE WASN'T IN REAL LIFE!, and what's even worse is that at the end of the video it told this person to SEE THEM IN HELL!, that video rubbed me in a VERY wrong way and it's nothing more than a prime example of what NOT to do when making Analog Horror 😡
the lacey’s games ripoff one pisses me off for the reasons you listed tbh. but, it has potential. i’m not saying i hate it and it’s entirely flawed, im saying it ticks me off but it’s not entirely flawed.
Hearing Claus the Clock saying "Deceased" caught me completely off guard. I'm here to listen to terrible Analog Horrors but that just made me burst out laughting.
I still don't understand why people are so angry towards AI (Idk much about the subject, I'm not an artist or anything, so I may be wrong). And it didn't look like there was that much of it on guby specifically. I think as long as you're not trying to lie saying it was made by a person it's fine.
5:04 i personally rlly enjoy this one bc of the amount of work this creator did. They put in a lot of research which is something not alot of AH do. Its cheesy, but i love cheesy so it works out. 11:57 Yeah ill admit this one is hard to watch w/o either keybinds or watching it through someone else. I do like some of the details like the how its implied the hand puppet character is the teenager who was investigating Güby, but i didnt know bout the ai stuff. Sometimes i agree with it's use (as an example the kids from the 1st ep of Pastra's DoaI are AI which i think is better than using random or worse actual missing kids), but idk how i feel bout its use here
It's *suspected* AI. Those checkers aren't very accurate and will rate real people's works as AI generated. It's entirely possible that they're not AI images at all
I like your videos but could you please consider crediting Spacehamster for your countdown bumper? Or at least find out if he made it himself/who made it? It's a well-made piece of art that I think needs to be credited, not just ripped for people who haven't watched his old stuff to mistake it for yours. Again, great videos, it's just this one thing that rubs me the wrong way.
I bet whoever named that episode is either ashamed of themselves, or rolling in their grave... (If they were cremated, then uh... Making tornadoes in their urn, alternatively.)
just to add onto 4:38, my favorite analog horror series, greylock, also uses real people but does it amazingly. i *highly* recommend watching it and maybe even making a video on it!!
Something my friends and I discuss when it comes to Analog Horror is that a lot of creators don’t seem to take advantage of the “analog” part of analog horror. Analog usually refers to information being provided through physical mediums. That’s why most of the popular ones use the VHS format. There are a lot of ways to use that format and use it to play into a horror story. You just have to get creative with it. I would say some good advice is to write out and plan your horror story first, have people look it over and give you advice, and then try to think of the best way to tell that story. If you think it’s analog horror, research ways you could get the story across that way!
FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THE USE OF AI IN GUBY!! Everyone around me told me it was no big deal BUT I WAS HESITANT SOMEONE BIGGER THAN ME WOULD POINT THAT OUT AS I BRUSHED OVER THE DEFENSIVE CLAIMS 😭
I actually really like the bat incident. Showing Batman’s origins and the things surrounding it with the horror genre is actually pretty cool. There are a lot of plot holes which I understand, but I really like the idea. On the other hand, the other superhero horror created by the creator is pretty bad, but the Batman one is pretty good.
Imo the “I Never Win” thing could have been interesting if it was a lament from the Personalization AI itself. After decades of being trapped in a game with dated hardware and software, there are only so many new tricks it would be able to use over time. So I could definitely see the AI getting bored and pissed off at being beaten over and over by countless players.
I’d make the AI become more and more desperate to try and “Win” and gets so angry at the player, they consider it winning whenever they suffer, so it starts to actively fight the player at every turn. You could have it spread to other games, but that might be a step too far, so maybe just have it be a game tester or a kid with a camcorder be the protagonist
My face when I do a Super Mario 64 playthrough and add a glitch filter to make it "scary" and pass it off as analog horror. For real, it is incredibly funny how that Super Mario 64 analog horror was just a regular playthrough with a glitch effect up until the very end.
The spongebob one could've been good if instead of steven hillenberg, it was just the ceo of Nickelodeon (but a fictional version since I don't think the real ceo murdered his wife) and the hijacker tells Nickelodeon to burn in hell, since Nick has been milking spongebob for years and when steven died, they went behind his back and made spin offs for spongebob (a thing he never wanted) But if you think my take needs reworking, do give criticism and/or your own version of my rework
I think what i don't like about many of the analog horror videos is once there is a protagonist pov video, it feels like i'm seeing an actual mistery series, which is cool, but i loved when it felt like it was a video you're not supposed to watch. I miss having that sensation that i have to turn on my flashlight in my room just to be sure nothing is there
Yeah, in my opinion, this is what "The Batman Who Laughs" should have been. Definitely feels more in par with how Batman could have turned out if it wasn't for him being in the care of Alfred, instead of that overly edgy evil counterpart of batman
Honestly as bad as these are. I still feel that "My Dad's Tapes" is still pretty bad. Great start, but over time it really was a drag, that didn't stick the landing. it's 12 years old, but I feel bad for people that waited for the updates thinking it would get better like it once was. Only for the ending to happen. The ending being that the creator dropped the series midway through, but I have no idea how long they wanted to make it or even if what people are saying is true, since no one knows what happened to the creator for the series. Nightmind said it best. "It's just snuff videos." and yeah. Really is.
My Dad's Tapes at least has one of the funniest scenes in any piece of unfiction/arg I've ever seen. Seriously the margarita scene is such an oddity that it never not makes me chuckle
Honestly I think what makes Tiffany school find out missed the mark to the extreme is that it is trying hard to to make a feminist commentary just like Lacy did but used it in the most half assed way with less thought of what to do with that commentary. It's just clear their more concern of the edgy factor and not fleshing out the point of older men preying on younger women and just see it as just shock value
Something else I'd have added about Gubi is that even without the horror stuff, it just doesn't feel like a show that would exist. It looks more the stuff you'd find on a RUclips Kids content farm than and actual TV show.
Im mostly doing my own thing rn but this video clearly showed me what not to do in terms of args! I really appreciate it and will take it into consideration when making my own arg (its an object show arg where its just this piece of lost media n all that), its mostly a reboot of an old one!
@@SwaggyG_2102 dont worry theres more then just commenting I plan to include clues and links for people to try and connect a story to what's exactly happening
Ah, Urbanspook...I still remember the text from his most chilling video: “The victim, John Neverappearedbefore, was found with his balls exploded, reassembled, and the exploded again. He was only -ten years five years one year a month old- he hadn’t even been conceived yet. Police found the body after following a trail of -decade old drawings by the author that hadn’t gotten the attention he hoped- random killings we somehow know even _less_ about. Most of the crimes required -the author to be a hack and a cringelord- the perpetrator to be a reality-bending genie.”
Great video bro. As a analog horror creator myself I really appreciate this video and it helps me with what tropes to avoid for my next videos Thank you bro. Also as a Batman fan I hope someone makes a really good Batman analog horror in the future cause he can work very good in analog horror if put in the right hands.
your in luck because there is a series known as the arkham tapes which focus on the batman villains and they are handled well here it also has a lot more interesting scenes and stories so i highly recommended you check arkham tapes
Seriously, I’m so glad I’m not alone in disliking Güby. I know there’s a warning for flashing lights but it genuinely hurts to watch without squinting. It’s not believable that ANY NORMAL CHILD would watch this show without being creeped out. While there is a story, it just doesn’t feel properly told with the delivery being Güby having a spaz attack every few seconds with flashing screens. There’s no tension. It has potential but it’s just not using it well IMO.
this is just a nitpick but I personally think that the superman and batman analog horrors shouldn't really count as seperate since they take place in the same universe and are made by the same creator which is bascially the same series, just my personal opinion.
Honestly as someone who is a fan of analog horror and wants to create our own, a lot of them get scared to explore out of the usual stuff you see in analog horror. A lot of them use cliches but don’t try to play or twist them in interesting ways. The horror genre is always about finding twists and turns to change the genre and currently analog horror is in its “slump” where no one has decided to try something more dangerous. They like to play their series safe, and currently it’s “kids thing gone evil!” and what splatterpunk usually does. Hope this comes across correctly we are very tired.
I’m so glad you talked about Guby because it doesn’t receive enough criticism, it’s really bad in its story and setup, it’s not scary, barely unsettling at best
While The Bat Incident isn't my favorite, i actually really like the creator's superman concept! I think their aquaman idea is rad too ((: 'Evil Superman' is a genre that's INCREDIBLY hit or miss for me, but i think the idea that Supes becomes disillusioned with earth because of religious fanatics that worship him, hurting people in his name, yet he still does his best to stop villains and protect earth despite that, i like that idea ((:
Imagine using an AI CHECKER to check if something is made with AI (which, let me make this clear for the ones who clearly don't understand [CutCafe], those "checkers" are quite literally, AI. Notoriously the most untrustworthy thing in the current age.) The absolute hilarity that you'd look at something, immediately assume "that MUST be AI" and then proceed to use AI to further convince yourself that its AI. Also, those "AI checkers" are notoriously INCORRECT, and real artists have been harassed and accused of making AI art, when in fact, they haven't. This wild accusation really bummed out an otherwise really good video, and kind of ruined any other criticism afterwards.
i was JUST about to say the tiffany game is like if the lacey games were made with no tact or thought, i'm glad you mentioned it cause as soon as i heard the premise it was so obvious what they were doing lol
I'm convinced that if it wasn't for matpat making a gtlive video on it, güby would've been completely ignored. It's just cheap ai 'loud & epilepsy = spooky' theorist slop, that only exists for youtubers to go through it frame-by-frame and make overly exaggerated reactions.
Note, as a friend of Siltrics (the guy who made the Batman analog horror), I should note that he’s only doing it just for fun and I do wanna note that he does have some good stuff planned for in the future. He is just a kid, so I wouldn’t expect him to be the best at telling a story, and that’s okay. No ones perfect, but yeah. He isn’t trying to make it into something that breaks world records really, he’s just doing it for fun, but I’m genuinely excited to see where he takes the series from here Also, about Güby, it’s intentionally formatted that way. It’s supposed to have you go through the frames and stuff. Also, some stuff it does show, don’t take it too literally. It’s more metaphorical and if you know history or read certain books, some of it will make sense. Won’t spoil it though
Finally someone else who thinks Guby is a bad analog horror series with cliches and nonsense glitches. Also please don't use the word "art" for ai slop. That's not "art" that's an algorithm machine
the batman one specifically bothers me as a hardcore batman fan bc there are so many characters you could use for effective horror! scarecrow, professor pyg, dollmaker, james gordon jr... and yeah, joker too ig. and if you specifically want BATMAN to be the killer- manbat! killer moth! owlman! theres so many "what if batman but evil" characters you can use, its just insulting
I mean the kidnapping kids thing in the Batman series isn’t weird for exact reason of he’s trying to make a twisted version of his allies (which is shown in the video if my memory is correct) maybe it could’ve been done better but it makes sense for what we did get, at least to me that is
Yeah, this person missed some details that touch on the flaws of Batman as a character, namely his penchant for recruiting young children as his sidekicks and putting them in perilous situations.
@@AluminumFusion22 I just don’t get why the question is being asked in general since we are given the information that explains why he’s doing what he’s doing (only targeting known batfamily members to create a twisted version) it’s pretty obvious so the criticism feels slightly unnecessary overall
@@AluminumFusion22 this was my problem with this video, like I'm not sure how much batman lore they know , but to not understand batman kidnapping everyone who is/was apart of thee bat family tells me everything I need to about this person's knowledge of batman. And that's why I think it's kinda unfair to put it on this list of ***worst*** analog horror because it kinda comes off as "i don't get it, so it's bad".
Just to re-clarify it. Again, don't go seek out and harass them, and don't send any hate! To have the guts and creativity to try your hand at making a series at all is an outstanding thing! Although I'm a little exaggeratory at times, I don't think any of these series are some "cardinal sin" or anything. Many of the series shown here have since been moved on from, and I've also been informed that a few of the entries here are from kids.
So to balance it out, here's one good thing about each entry.
00:57 - **SM64 1997** - Clearly made by a fan of other SM64 analog series. Some of the scenes show that they're able to alter the game, so if they do another one in the future, I hope they include MORE of that kind of thing! (Also, they've continued to a new series so, like I said in the video, you go man!)
03:27 - **Nickelodeon Hijacking Incident** - As much as people hate this one, that one image they made of Spongebob burning in hell is sick. I hope if they ever make something else they try doing more involving fake screencaps, as they're clearly good at it.
04:56 - **The Bat Incident** - Already mentioned it in the video, but with every new entry it seems they significantly improve with the visuals. The Owl Hijacking video was sick as hell and I can't wait to see more like it as they continue the series.
06:33 - **Justice League Cartoon** - Major props to them for getting an actual Voice Actor for this instead of just having it be scrolling text. Plus the ending image with Dark Superman is also pretty cool.
07:32 - **THE_WOODS.mp4** - Pretty clearly made by a kid, so the fact they were SO inspired by analog horror that they tried to make their own take is wild and awesome. They seem to have dropped the series too, but I hope they continue to make their own stuff, and improve so they can make some really wild stuff.
11:18 - **Guby and Friends** - Again, mentioned it already in the video itself, but the 3D art for Guby (and later his friends) is really REALLY good in my opinion. I hope they can move on from AI and do more with the 3D art talents they clearly have in their arsenal.
12:49 - **Tom Through the Window** - Good in concept. Tom and Jerry could totally lend itself well to horror, so it's very creative in its concept, and some of the art of the series is very good (particularly the shadow man seen at the end of the series). Plus the idea that every episode of Tom and Jerry is someone watching them is super creative, but unfortunately only good on paper (if they hadn't shown that heaven episode, I think it'd be a lot better in that you could better suspend your disbelief, and really make it work!)
16:41 - **Tiffany's Find Out Game** - Again, art really does look like a flashgame. Plus the gore at the end looks very well done and Lacy-games-ish. Could lend itself well to more flash horror stuff should they continue to do so!

I honestly thought Guby was meant to be satire considering the first episode’s main scare was… him asking for your credit card number.
Oh

Fr I burst out laughing when bro said that
It's not??- 😭
I also thought It was satire because every episode Is the same thing over and over again lol
Glitched/bloody edits=scary? Gratuitous references to satanism? Main characters casually shrugging off blatantly weird stuff happening around them? Using well known pieces of intelectual property to write a "spooky" story around?
It's official guys, the genre has finally fully embraced being the second coming of creepypastas.
And I don't know if the Alan Becker should delete it or not
And I'm all for it, let's fucking goooo.
@@ursfan Inb4 someone accidentally reinvents Jeff The Killer and jumpstarts the Second Crappypasta Wars
@@neoqwertyI mean
Pastra recently made a rewrite, but if you want a take on Jeff the Killer, I highly recommend The Morgue Files by David Near
@@neoqwerty The creepypasta wars? I only watched or red creepypastas and so I'm unaware of any creepypasta wars happening, with in in the community.
I think a note that should be taken into consideration with Guby and Friends and the AI art situation is that AI Art Checkers are not always accurate. While I am not debunking it isn't AI art, I don't think it's accurate to check via the checker. There was an artist recently that got accused of using AI art via an AI checker that also showed higher/similiar numbers to the Pokémon Contests submissions.
I also want to say that I don't mind AI Art used for stuff like this because I've seen a few analog horror series that do use real people's images without permission. You use a historical figure like Reagan or Buddy Holly and you make that well known? Sure, go ahead. But there have been people like a FNAF one where they used images of actual children who went missing (so much so there are laws passed in their names), and that is fucking disgusting. That bothers me more than someone making a fake person's face with AI.
@@griefingg0lem685 Agreed. Like Pastra's Dreams of an Insomniac series uses AI imagery for children as well iirc
Edit: Though I have been reminded that Pastra is going back on that idea and remaking that episode due to the usage of AI and the opinion shifting on it.
@@griefingg0lem685Yeah, I'd much rather someone use ai art than a picture of real missing people, that makes me feel... Gross
To me, as long as someone isn't making money, I don't care if they do ai.
It's weird that people look at AI art and realize that this isn't how a human would draw something but they don't apply the same logic to the AI art checkers. Plugging art into an AI art checker is the equivalent of taking a lie detector test. It checks for things that might imply AI/lying, but it doesn't actually know whether it is or not.
I've got THOUGHTS about the Bat Incident both as an Analog Horror and Batman fan, but I really don't like how Batsy has so much potential for horror just as he is without the cryptid enhancements thing that goes unexplored in the genre. His whole thing is making criminals FEAR him, to make them look at a dark alley and think that he is watching your every move, and he'll hunt you down if you hurt an innocent person. I want to see THAT explored in Analog horror.
Of course, absolutely no hate to the creator the Bat Incident.
Batman says he works alone, but those he hunts know better. Robin, Nightwing, Oracle, Red Hood, Batgirl, Batwoman will all come for you as well. And not just superheroes. When Batman knows you're a criminal, the entire police force finds out.
And that's just in Gotham.
If you've been unfortunate enough to anger Batman enough, The Justice League themselves will descend upon you.
People think that Batman has eyes everywhere. They are right.

@@TragicJade Analogue horror where the creator has genuine talent for drawing, music making but their work ends up relying on edginess and grossout to "scare" people
Edit: Seeing a lot of people going "It's horror that's point" ...No. Horror should build tension, it should always leave you questioning before building up to the dread and scares. Horror isn't the exact same cookie cutter copy/paste format for 5+ episodes. Urbanspook isn't horror. It's creepy for a total of 5 minutes before you realize it's the same lazy format with plenty of plotholes and leaves people asking more questions, and not the good kind
@TragicJade Dude who made an analog horror about a painter who kills people. It's known for being very over the top with It's shocking moments
@TragicJade Also he had a meltdown on Twitter when Pastra, a horror youtuber, said he wasn't going to review the analog horror because he didn't like it.
@@TragicJade Pretty much just describing what happened to some victims of a crazy serial killer in extremely overdetailed black background with white text Slides and Art that imitates the victims.
It's excessively detailed, and uses shock to incite fear in every episode, so you get desensitized by episode 4.
With the bluey one, I swear the "everything rots" and other stuff is just taken straight from Amanda the adventurer
Yeah I thought that to
Flashbacks to the Random Encounters song
I thought the exact same thing.
and the “he trapped me here and ate up my life” is taken directly from the coraline film where, in the scene where coraline gets trapped in the mirror, the ghosts say “but, she locked us here,and ate up our lives”
“Do you think EVERYTHING rots?”
Honestly, if you ask me, the best way to make an analogue horror series about Batman would be to literally just make a regular Batman story, but told entirely from the perspective of random ordinary people living through it all. Make it about the horror of what it would be like to be a regular citizen of Gotham amidst the mayhem of Batman's typical crimefighting shenanigans.
I have a better idea.
Make the series seem through the logs of a man who accidentally killed someone and covering it experiencing the horror of batman.
Make it that he is making logs because he knows the bat is after him.
Make the batman look like just a heartless vigilante use the series to make a commentary about how dangerous vigilante justice truly is.
Yes, it would be much more creative. Because in the killer's view, it's much scarier to see a blindfolded man with a cape and clothes looking like a bat and beat your ass right there, wouldn't even need a cheap jumpscare or some subliminal message. @@kevinvieira2834
honestly, I hate the uninspired lacy's games clones where it's just "hi im a kid" "bad thing thats over the top happen to me" "spooky"
it just discourages people who actually have traumas with those kind of events from venting their own experience into their lacey's games inspired videos :(
The Tom and Jerry one feels like a shitpost rather than some genuine attempt.
Also, I personally prefer the ‘Arkham Tapes’ by The Batfeed from what I’ve seen of it.
Yes
That makes sense Ngl the Tom and jerry one seems really bland
I love “The Arkham Tapes”. They are so creative and scary.
I do like the design of the Tom monster.
4:38
Another good one I can think of the is “THE BOILED ONE PHENOMENON”, it has references to real events and people while doing it respectfully (when it is due), intergrading it nicely and most of all, not actually using the real people for shock value.
It's fanbase bombed the /r/AnalogHorror subreddit because the creator posted some weird tweet about seeing a single post there of someone saying they hated it.
True, it only has vague references to real people, enough to make people question it and not give a definitive answer. The story is pretty deep too.
It also doesn't use the characters themselves, but rather the personality traits and interactions (for example Job Zamperini's trait of forgiveness Is a direct parellel to the one of the original Zamperini).
@@shinyocelot04archive Funnily enough, the Boiled One was inspired by a meme involving an Alien Sackboy, which has since been dubbed "The Green One" due to a tweet
jesus dont scare me like that, i thought you thought that they weren't doing a good and evil dynamic and were using the real zamperini and so and so (i forgot the other guys name)
I enjoyed this video overall, but I feel including the Bluey series is very unfair. It's clearly made by a kid, and I feel there are so many better options for worst analog horror than "Little Timmy's First Analog Horror Series"
(EDIT: I've recently learned that the creator is an adult, but I still think it doesn't deserve to be on this list, let alone being above "The Nickelodeon Hijacking Incident")
Yes. Looks like something I would make. That's not supposed to be a insult

I will say that the idea of turning batman into some kind of horror monster isnt a terrible idea, and actually has precedent within the comics, as some interpretations of batman such as arkham asylum a serious house on serious earth do go out of there way to draw batman in an almost monstrous fashion at certain points to emulate how a criminal or even a normal citizen would see him.
exactly, imo they just executed the idea poorly, like it would be better if they added those elements like in arkham asylum and not just “he’s a creature now”

alsoalso, its an INSANE tonal whiplash to go from people trying to make Tom and Jerry scary to one of most tasteless things I've ever seen on the internet
@@KittyLitterYT The whiplash isn’t helped by the fact that the series actively tries to use cartoon footage as “found footage” in universe.
I do think there are a few children's series that have potential for actual horror. Ed Edd n Eddy always had a weirdly 'ominous' atmosphere, given how empty and alone most of the show feels. I don't even hate the idea of a Super Friends horror (in fact, there's a pretty famous Super Friends horror series from way back in the day, I think it was called "Challenge of the Unknown", or something), since there's always an unspoken 'darkness' to that show. Spongebob though? It's just too bright and fun.

Edit: thanks for the likes Jesus.
I would agree, but it's just the way it's made and presented : plot holes and wasted potential mainly
Like a horror piece about an animal killing their owner sounds interesting on paper and I'm sure it could be done well, but I would not take the Tom & Jerry one as an example for this due to the way it was done
@@MusicalFreak812 ok
The plot itself is decent. It's just the whole "Tom and Jerry cartoons being used to represent live-action footage" concept is easily the stupidest thing I've ever seen in the analog horror genre. Maybe even internet horror as a whole
@@ShadovvXero No, I think internet horror can be done well (I would immediately redirect to Pastra's own analog horror series for that) but the Tom & Jerry live action fooctage thing was not

So here's my thoughts on each of these:
8. I always found the personalized Mario 64 stuff hilarious for how unrealistic it is compared to the rest of the game.
7. This is just in poor taste and terribly edgy. Nothing else to say here.
6. You had Scarecrow RIGHT THERE! He'd be perfect for a Batman horror series! Killer Batman has just been done to death.
5. I don't really have much to say with this one. Really feels like someone's first attempt at Analog Horror to be honest.
4. This just feels like "my first creepypasta" and I hope this creator works on their skills. Top it off with writer slander and you've got a mess of a video.
3. Man I really despised this one. This AI mess is just theorist bait - the series. You cannot get any enjoyment out of it without going out of your way to dissect it, which doesn't make any sense. These types of things are supposed to be approachable on a basic level.
2. Another first attempt at a creepypasta with theorist stuff. Fun.
1. Man, Lacey did this plot and idea so much better. This is just all over the place.
TLDR - Just watch The Oddity Compendium instead.
SCARECROW, YES.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Speaking of Scarecrow, I feel like the concept of Johnathan Crane using his fear toxin to manipulate Batman into commiting murder and other vile actions is really cool to me. And it makes sense since in some interpretations of the villain explore the duality of both characters' greatest strengths - using FEAR to accomplish their goals. Scarecrow using it to dominate others, while Batman uses it to instill dread in the hearts of criminals. So in a way Scarecrow views Batman as a competitor for the title "King of Fear" and as the only fear he has to overcome. So him bringing Bruce down to what is essentially a puppet controlled by fear and manipulating him into doing horrible stuff by exploiting his deepest insecurities and fears, which also inadvertently ruins his image as a justice seeking vigilante in the eyes of Gotham's citizens is something Scarecrow would totally do. If Arkham Knight could execute that idea relatively well, I dont see why it can't work again.
Sorry for the yapping, I got to excited to share this and I wanted to know what all of you think. If someone has an ounce of care for this.
In Filbus I trust :]
The JL and Bat incident ones are by the same person so not first one somehow
@@Bruhmanofyear2 Well I didn't know that.
number 7 absolutly makes me mad,because the idea of using analog horror to expose real criminals sounds amazing.petscop kinda did it with the newmaker case

I remember Tom Through the Window. The whole "using cartoon as live action footage" was just too much to suspend my disbelief for.
At least The Bat Incident had some potential.
Regarding the Batman ARG, I think it would be better to write this story from the perspective of a civilian in the comics. Ordinary citizens or reporters who mistakenly believe that Batman is a vain and fake hero try to find evidence that Batman is a bad guy. Robin and Batgirl throughout the ages are the same vampire who never grows up, thinking that Batman not killing his villains is evidence that they are working together, etc.
Something I’ve noticed about Analog/Digital Horror is that it seems to increase in shock value more and more. The SpongeBob Anomaly. Tiffani school hide out game. It’s just edge for the sake of edge.
It’s like they aren’t even trying to be scary anymore.
fr like why
This happened with creepypasta too when it got popular and children who wrote the stories didn’t realize the severity of what they’re writing about. Unfortunately I think that’s what’s happening here.
tbh the spongebob one was CLEARLY made by an unnasuming kid who didnt know what he did was wrong, that entire situation pissed me off tbh.
I love how the Tom and Jerry one just calls the owner "Mrs. Mammy," which seems dangerously close to an unironic blackface depiction, since that's what the word "Mammy" is usually associated with. I know it's a reference to the character's nickname (not what she was actually called originally) "Mammy Two Shoes," but they really couldn't come up with a different name for her?
Also, could they not make a more convincing cursor for the last one? They couldn't even have the mouse cursor slide from point to point, they just drew one in MSPaint and placed it on different parts of the screen?
I mean that's where her nickname in the show comes from- it's not dangerously close to racist it literally is. If you look up clips, Tom and Jerry have on occasion done very racist episodes like many of the shows of the time. It was certainly a choice to still refer to her as that in the analog horror series- was surprised the creator of this video didn't mention it.
@@slothesque8245 I know that's where her nickname came from. It really would have been a better idea to at least call her something other than "Mrs. Mammy," just any other name would (probably) work.
There's shorts where Tom had different owners, I'm surprised the creator chose the controversial Mammy character
@@sonicfanboy3375 I assume it was because they went with the original shorts, and those ones had her. I'm pretty sure she wasn't actually Tom's owner in the original shorts, she was actually a housekeeper (which makes her stereotypical depiction worse, honestly).
I think Gone With The Wind (Movie) had a character named Mammy.
Honestly, If I may talk about guby, The main reason I dislike it is the fact its using a Tulpa as a villain, for whatever reason
it doesn't touch on Tulpas as a concept or even as people. Guby is evil and just, brings people to the shadow realm
Why not a horror series on a good and evil Tulpa who are fighting, or just, about Tulpas as people since most of the time they are people
What about the Boiled One tho? He can’t be “the bird” himself since then he wouldn’t speak English.
Ironically, tulpas are becoming very common and overused, so I understand why they'd go much simpler and not do what many popular videos have done already.
Greylock is about tulpas.
@@sboy2044 While I may not like the boiled one myself I can respect it for doing something more unique with the concept
because tulpas aren’t people, take your meds
I appreciate you for not including Urbanspook in this video.
To be honest, I don't really consider The Painter to be all that bad in comparison to the entries on this list.
The art is pretty good, and the same applies to the sound design as well.
The biggest issue lies in the storytelling as I think that there are some parts that should've been handled way better, in my opinion.
The issue I have with it is that it’s so boring, it’s just reading until you see a painting. But the art is good, and that’s all I like about it.
I think the issue is that the story is so bad, that the series relies on shock value to keep your attention. For example, the story could earn it's shock value if it did something very simple, but long to explain so I'll make a Tl;Dr here, then explain more in depth if your intrested. So tl;dr just make it so the painter is painting the future of his victims.
So how I would tell this story is very simple, the painter is a killer that gives their victims a poison that kills them quickly and painlessly. The reason why they are called that is due to them always leaving a disturbing painting at the scene, usually with the victim is a grotesque form. We then would learn that the painter paint the painting then find the person at night, and shows them it, giving them the choice to live, or to take the poison, letting them not go threw there painful death. At first, the police think he would be the one to kill them, but when a kid name Charlie refused to, they just leave with the painting. After the police are called and do there thing, they trust the kid and bring him in to get all the information they could. A week passes with no sign of anything bad, so the police stop watching him. But the day after, someone claiming to be his uncle picks him up from school, and is caught on camera, not looking like the painter at all, and Charlie is never seen again. The police look and can't find him, so when they return to the station and find a package, they open it and see the painting the painter made of Charlie, and now know what he is going threw right now.
Sorry for it being long, but I need to get this off my chest, as I feel like this could be so perfect for the series. This allows the shock value to exist, while at the same time, feeling more earned, at least for me.
@igotboredokay.2023 I honestly believe that, if there were at least some build up for the victims, like at least a single sentence about hoe they live nature/pets/something, it would have been much better. Or at the very least hire some guys to be families of victims, cuz the voice acting in that episode where painter broken into the house of a woman was genuinely the best part of this series in my opinion. And the series would have been a lot better if there was an actual person investigating, making these tapes for himself or someone else in his crew, and then having himself reflect in this tapes on his mental health after all these murder. He should have showed us why we should care by having characters that actually care.
I will also write here how I would have made it:
After a series of gruesome murders in a small town, a well-known detective decides to start working on this case. Paintings don't have any traces of dna on them, and paint and brushes used for creating paintings are different, although no symbolism is seen in the choice of materials. The only thing connecting them is tha fact that paintings are located near the crime scenes, and reference the name of the victim on that crime scene.
Then we would see some interrogations of families and close friends of victims, what happened on tha day person went missing, who was close that day, yadda yadda yadda. And not everyone will be in full sorrow, and not every victim will have someone who cares about them to show different situations. And all of that while we see the main painting of the victim and listening to sad or angry speeches.
The detective himself would also talk about the case with his friends, with family on the phone, at some times hiding his emotions, on others being sad, and sometimes being disgusted by the happenings.
In some episodes, there will be interrogations on the pitential murderers - a bit well-known painters of that town. Interrogations of the shopkeepers who sell different paints about the main customers, while trying to connect all of this with what paint was used, what colors, what brushes, the artstyle of an artist and all of that.
The main focus will be on emotional pressure from the fact that such a monster is freely walking, seeking his victim, and how everyone is both scared, disgusted and tired from all this case.
One of the murders should put the detective over the edge. Maybe a close friend from work or even a relative that isn't even living near the main place, but still with the same paintings and, instead of a name for a painting, an inscripted message for the detective. With the main scene of emotional breakdown being one of the key points of the series that is built up from the start. But not the culmination.
The culmination is when a detective will be able to stop one of the victims to be dead, with a blank canvas near the potential crime scene. He would be so mad that it almost happened and that he couldn't do anything to the murderer, while not considering anything that victim says and not being able to understand anything. This would be a culmination of his feelings, and then.... All cuts to black, with no answers on what is with the case, is painter still free, did detective went insane and dropped the case, and there would prob be a potential for a second season, going in depth on the person we see the tapes through.
How in tarnation is Urbanspook any better than any of this? Like at least the Tiffany School Find Out Game wasn't all edgelord content, there was some somewhat half-baked ideas in the content there. Urbanspook is all trash no substance.
Obviously The Painter isn't as bad as the ones listed on the video.
It's worse.
Tbf, AI Image detectors are just as bad as the image Generators that they're supposed to detect. They're really not accurate at all.
it doesn't really matter, if something looks like AI and an AI image detector suspects it to be AI, you may as well call it AI. it's up to these creators to confirm shit isn't AI at this point if it looks it, because we all know how easy it is to use those "tools." if you refuse to use the image detectors and your instincts to tell when something is AI, you basically can never call something AI because you can't prove it with absolute certainty, unless it's unbelievably obvious like how early AI images were. in the case of AI it's better to be skeptical and wrong than just assume things aren't AI because you can't prove it because the latter leads to AI being adapted more and more until one day everything, music, images, videos, voice acting, dialogue, and story are all AI generated. of course that's the trajectory right now because most people don't recognize or care about AI.
sure, but as an artist, that shit is ai lmao
@@ImperialCaleb”It’s better to start a witch-hunt with no evidence because I have a hate-boner for AI”
That’s some garbage logic.
Who are you quoting?
@ I’ll give you a minute to read.
I think Bluey could work, but only if its done in a way that would make it feel real. Maybe it could be like a scrapped episode because it was a bit too dark. Maybe it was an episode about abduction or an episode about abandonment or smth. Just simply a scrapped episode with a more darker message. Nothing too scary, or disturbing, just more tragic and heart-wrenching.
There is a bluey creepypasta called stranger danger with a similar concept
Lacey's Games ripoff drive me insane. what makes Lacey's work is that Ghosttundra knows what theyre talking about. things like Tiffany's School Find Out clearly dont, and it genuinely make me feel gross the whole time, rather than seen and understood like with Lacey's.
I think the Mario 64 Analog Horror could be pretty interesting. Some people see Mario as the hero of video games, while some NPCs see Mario as the villain, viewing him as a monster and a danger to the Mushroom Kingdom itself.
I BEG YOU if you ever make part 2 please mention Sonic.CDN, this is a basic boring sonic series but with actully horrible sprite arts, lazy edits of images and character being 3/4 characters being STOCK GOOGLE IMAGES
@GloriousGhazt I lowkey kind of agree, don't get me wrong no disrespect to people making sonic ARG series because some of them have a lot of effort (and by "some" I mean Sonic PETA which is amazing) but this one is just insanly boring and the opposite of creative
Funny how this comes out while I'm making a joke analog horror (it's based around the Wonder Bread man ftr)

@@Chaotic_Overlord 😭
A Dan Schiender analog horror would be just as scary.
It would be called "The Feet Demon" and a combo of horror and satire.
Where can I watch it
Let me know when it comes out plz
My opinions-
8. Greenio's series is way better. At least the creator of this moved on to better things.
7. That is so disrespectful and edgy. Other than that, it's more bland than moldy cardboard. You can include real people without being an awful person.
6. It feels like satire. Agreed that it's so bad, it's good. Pretty much something you'd see an MST3K-esque series that riffs on internet horror content.
5. This could have been good if it had better writing.
4. I like horror that includes some realism, but this is way predictable and cliché. At least they used a fictional writer this time.
3. Obviously, it's ai-generated. Ironic that the ai models are the scariest thing.
2. The sad part of this? There's actual good Tom & Jerry horror content. I think the protagonist existing in-universe could work, but the execution sucks.
1. As a newbie to Digital Horror/Lost Flash Games, this is just... Why... At least Lacey's Games was respectful about serious topics and had good writing. It's basically the Urbanspook of Digital Horror/Lost Flash Games.
Too bad Greenio (now annielogue) apparently made her second channel no longer exists, apparently. It was loaded with other kinds of tapes.

@@brunettebi4111 Just out of curiosity, what Tom and Jerry horror are you referring to?
I clicked the video as soon as i saw the guby trumbnail
I actually quite liked Guby when I first watched it, but it was INCREDIBLY obvious that many of those images were A.I. Even MatPat didn't notice it! And looking back on it now, it really did kinda suck. It was mostly overused tropes and it makes me kinda mad. Plus, it was super forgettable in my eyes.
Yes I agree with you. I liked guby to. But. Looking back on it. yeah. It's bad
fr, the inconsistencies just made this even clearer. I always had that hunch but i went "nah, maybe there's a reason as to why it looks like that.."
Shut up trans guy
I feel like the bias towards using AI art is kind of unfounded, if you really think about it they ARE taking these AI arts and assets to create something original, as opposed to stealing or taking images of real people who didn't ask to be put into horror
@@-HappyMelt- That's fair, but I feel like there was a much better way to do it than using AI. The horror itself was fine, and you can tell there was effort put into it. And if they can do that much, I feel like they could have made the exact same thing in some program or smth
The Bat Incident definitely expects you to be pretty knowledgeable of like 70 years of Batman lore. If you are, it's depressingly spooky. If not, it's more like what you've pointed out, haha.
if an analog horror series uses the hong kong 97 music backwards that’s how you know you’re in for something of sub par effort
I swear that Bluey one was actually just a creepy pasta doing a bad cosplay of analog horror.
Analog horror is a subgenre of creepypasta imo, just in video format rather than written word. BTW, the same dude who made Local 58 wrote Candle Cove. lol
I'm gonna be honest, I'm confused and surprised as to why Nickelodeon Hijacking Incident isn't Number 1 on this list considering the fact that it literally uses a REAL LIFE PERSON WHO'S NOT ON THIS EARTH ANYMORE AND MADE HIM INTO A MURDERER WHICH HE WASN'T IN REAL LIFE!, and what's even worse is that at the end of the video it told this person to SEE THEM IN HELL!, that video rubbed me in a VERY wrong way and it's nothing more than a prime example of what NOT to do when making Analog Horror 😡
the lacey’s games ripoff one pisses me off for the reasons you listed tbh.
but, it has potential. i’m not saying i hate it and it’s entirely flawed, im saying it ticks me off but it’s not entirely flawed.
my worst fear (as a horror creator) is ending up on a "bad analog horror" list
Hearing Claus the Clock saying "Deceased" caught me completely off guard. I'm here to listen to terrible Analog Horrors but that just made me burst out laughting.
15:21 You obviously don't understand how dangerous a cat is with opposable thumbs and the ability to effectively use a knife

@@raymondtomas2294 The features are usually unconsistent and the shading pretty much sells it away
I still don't understand why people are so angry towards AI (Idk much about the subject, I'm not an artist or anything, so I may be wrong). And it didn't look like there was that much of it on guby specifically. I think as long as you're not trying to lie saying it was made by a person it's fine.
@@Muniz_2009 bc it basically feeds off images (including art) and uses them to make another image
5:04 i personally rlly enjoy this one bc of the amount of work this creator did. They put in a lot of research which is something not alot of AH do. Its cheesy, but i love cheesy so it works out.
11:57 Yeah ill admit this one is hard to watch w/o either keybinds or watching it through someone else. I do like some of the details like the how its implied the hand puppet character is the teenager who was investigating Güby, but i didnt know bout the ai stuff. Sometimes i agree with it's use (as an example the kids from the 1st ep of Pastra's DoaI are AI which i think is better than using random or worse actual missing kids), but idk how i feel bout its use here
Also at 13:22, the episode is actually called Heavenly Puss
It's *suspected* AI. Those checkers aren't very accurate and will rate real people's works as AI generated. It's entirely possible that they're not AI images at all
@@leruetheday377 my mistake I worded that last part wrong. I should've said idk how I'd feel about it if it is the case.
I like your videos but could you please consider crediting Spacehamster for your countdown bumper? Or at least find out if he made it himself/who made it? It's a well-made piece of art that I think needs to be credited, not just ripped for people who haven't watched his old stuff to mistake it for yours. Again, great videos, it's just this one thing that rubs me the wrong way.
The episode of Tom going to Heaven was not “Sufferin’ Cats”. That was “Heavenly Puss”
I bet whoever named that episode is either ashamed of themselves, or rolling in their grave...
(If they were cremated, then uh... Making tornadoes in their urn, alternatively.)
Lmao, that didn't age well 😂
The hat in time joke got me joking ngl
just to add onto 4:38, my favorite analog horror series, greylock, also uses real people but does it amazingly.
i *highly* recommend watching it and maybe even making a video on it!!
Something my friends and I discuss when it comes to Analog Horror is that a lot of creators don’t seem to take advantage of the “analog” part of analog horror.
Analog usually refers to information being provided through physical mediums. That’s why most of the popular ones use the VHS format. There are a lot of ways to use that format and use it to play into a horror story. You just have to get creative with it.
I would say some good advice is to write out and plan your horror story first, have people look it over and give you advice, and then try to think of the best way to tell that story. If you think it’s analog horror, research ways you could get the story across that way!
FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THE USE OF AI IN GUBY!! Everyone around me told me it was no big deal BUT I WAS HESITANT SOMEONE BIGGER THAN ME WOULD POINT THAT OUT AS I BRUSHED OVER THE DEFENSIVE CLAIMS 😭

@@camharkness that has absolutely zero connection to using AI art and has probably only ever happened once

I actually really like the bat incident. Showing Batman’s origins and the things surrounding it with the horror genre is actually pretty cool. There are a lot of plot holes which I understand, but I really like the idea. On the other hand, the other superhero horror created by the creator is pretty bad, but the Batman one is pretty good.
The recent Aquaman one was really good

Imo the “I Never Win” thing could have been interesting if it was a lament from the Personalization AI itself. After decades of being trapped in a game with dated hardware and software, there are only so many new tricks it would be able to use over time. So I could definitely see the AI getting bored and pissed off at being beaten over and over by countless players.
I’d make the AI become more and more desperate to try and “Win” and gets so angry at the player, they consider it winning whenever they suffer, so it starts to actively fight the player at every turn. You could have it spread to other games, but that might be a step too far, so maybe just have it be a game tester or a kid with a camcorder be the protagonist
@dekudude8888
Lmao I love the idea of an obsolete AI losing its shit over losing in a video game to a random eight year old
My face when I do a Super Mario 64 playthrough and add a glitch filter to make it "scary" and pass it off as analog horror.
For real, it is incredibly funny how that Super Mario 64 analog horror was just a regular playthrough with a glitch effect up until the very end.
The spongebob one could've been good if instead of steven hillenberg, it was just the ceo of Nickelodeon (but a fictional version since I don't think the real ceo murdered his wife) and the hijacker tells Nickelodeon to burn in hell, since Nick has been milking spongebob for years and when steven died, they went behind his back and made spin offs for spongebob (a thing he never wanted)
But if you think my take needs reworking, do give criticism and/or your own version of my rework
Your voice makes it sound like you’re 20 and seven at the same time
this is so 2017 "worst creepypastas" stuff i love it
I think what i don't like about many of the analog horror videos is once there is a protagonist pov video, it feels like i'm seeing an actual mistery series, which is cool, but i loved when it felt like it was a video you're not supposed to watch. I miss having that sensation that i have to turn on my flashlight in my room just to be sure nothing is there
Honestly, the bat incident review feels very surface level.
I think it's neat and feels like something you'd geniunely see out of a dc AU
Yeah, in my opinion, this is what "The Batman Who Laughs" should have been. Definitely feels more in par with how Batman could have turned out if it wasn't for him being in the care of Alfred, instead of that overly edgy evil counterpart of batman
batman actually just beinga delusional serial killer is the most what the mushrooms in mario were drugs shit ever
Jeez, I knew these were going to be bad, but that last one hit me like a truck...
Honestly as bad as these are.
I still feel that "My Dad's Tapes" is still pretty bad. Great start, but over time it really was a drag, that didn't stick the landing. it's 12 years old, but I feel bad for people that waited for the updates thinking it would get better like it once was. Only for the ending to happen. The ending being that the creator dropped the series midway through, but I have no idea how long they wanted to make it or even if what people are saying is true, since no one knows what happened to the creator for the series.
Nightmind said it best. "It's just snuff videos." and yeah. Really is.
My Dad's Tapes at least has one of the funniest scenes in any piece of unfiction/arg I've ever seen. Seriously the margarita scene is such an oddity that it never not makes me chuckle
Honestly I think what makes Tiffany school find out missed the mark to the extreme is that it is trying hard to to make a feminist commentary just like Lacy did but used it in the most half assed way with less thought of what to do with that commentary. It's just clear their more concern of the edgy factor and not fleshing out the point of older men preying on younger women and just see it as just shock value
The SpaceHamster Top 10 transition threw me off so hard it was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while
Something else I'd have added about Gubi is that even without the horror stuff, it just doesn't feel like a show that would exist. It looks more the stuff you'd find on a RUclips Kids content farm than and actual TV show.
Nah gubi it okey it less than content farm he do not take real cartoon to make it repeative plot gubi character are original

Ah, Urbanspook...I still remember the text from his most chilling video:
“The victim, John Neverappearedbefore, was found with his balls exploded, reassembled, and the exploded again. He was only -ten years five years one year a month old- he hadn’t even been conceived yet.
Police found the body after following a trail of -decade old drawings by the author that hadn’t gotten the attention he hoped- random killings we somehow know even _less_ about. Most of the crimes required -the author to be a hack and a cringelord- the perpetrator to be a reality-bending genie.”
Oh, how wonderful! Now we'll have a comprehensive list of reference points for what _NOT_ to do for Analogue Horror! :D
the "other than urbanspook" got me crying, we just all know the answer to "what's the worst analogue horror series?"
Great video bro. As a analog horror creator myself I really appreciate this video and it helps me with what tropes to avoid for my next videos
Thank you bro. Also as a Batman fan I hope someone makes a really good Batman analog horror in the future cause he can work very good in analog horror if put in the right hands.
your in luck because there is a series known as the arkham tapes which focus on the batman villains and they are handled well here it also has a lot more interesting scenes and stories so i highly recommended you check arkham tapes
Seriously, I’m so glad I’m not alone in disliking Güby.
I know there’s a warning for flashing lights but it genuinely hurts to watch without squinting.
It’s not believable that ANY NORMAL CHILD would watch this show without being creeped out.
While there is a story, it just doesn’t feel properly told with the delivery being Güby having a spaz attack every few seconds with flashing screens. There’s no tension.
It has potential but it’s just not using it well IMO.
this is just a nitpick but I personally think that the superman and batman analog horrors shouldn't really count as seperate since they take place in the same universe and are made by the same creator which is bascially the same series, just my personal opinion.
Honestly as someone who is a fan of analog horror and wants to create our own, a lot of them get scared to explore out of the usual stuff you see in analog horror. A lot of them use cliches but don’t try to play or twist them in interesting ways. The horror genre is always about finding twists and turns to change the genre and currently analog horror is in its “slump” where no one has decided to try something more dangerous. They like to play their series safe, and currently it’s “kids thing gone evil!” and what splatterpunk usually does. Hope this comes across correctly we are very tired.
I’m so glad you talked about Guby because it doesn’t receive enough criticism, it’s really bad in its story and setup, it’s not scary, barely unsettling at best

'Evil Superman' is a genre that's INCREDIBLY hit or miss for me, but i think the idea that Supes becomes disillusioned with earth because of religious fanatics that worship him, hurting people in his name, yet he still does his best to stop villains and protect earth despite that, i like that idea ((:
Did you recreate the spacehampster countdown or is it a public template?
(Secret third option is theft :3)
Cool to know AI art bad (rightfully so), but direct theft is okay :3
Imagine using an AI CHECKER to check if something is made with AI
(which, let me make this clear for the ones who clearly don't understand [CutCafe], those "checkers" are quite literally, AI. Notoriously the most untrustworthy thing in the current age.)
The absolute hilarity that you'd look at something, immediately assume "that MUST be AI" and then proceed to use AI to further convince yourself that its AI.
Also, those "AI checkers" are notoriously INCORRECT, and real artists have been harassed and accused of making AI art, when in fact, they haven't.
This wild accusation really bummed out an otherwise really good video, and kind of ruined any other criticism afterwards.
who set this guy to 20 in custom night
@@repentanceee I was just really irritated the other day, sorry for the annoyance.
also, funny reference 👍
Ok, but, did you look at the picture and say "This may NOT be the most obvious ai ever"

i was JUST about to say the tiffany game is like if the lacey games were made with no tact or thought, i'm glad you mentioned it cause as soon as i heard the premise it was so obvious what they were doing lol
i feel like the bluey one is a bit unfair as its pretty clear that it was made by a child.
Ahh yes
A 19yo child
I'm convinced that if it wasn't for matpat making a gtlive video on it, güby would've been completely ignored. It's just cheap ai 'loud & epilepsy = spooky' theorist slop, that only exists for youtubers to go through it frame-by-frame and make overly exaggerated reactions.
Note, as a friend of Siltrics (the guy who made the Batman analog horror), I should note that he’s only doing it just for fun and I do wanna note that he does have some good stuff planned for in the future. He is just a kid, so I wouldn’t expect him to be the best at telling a story, and that’s okay. No ones perfect, but yeah. He isn’t trying to make it into something that breaks world records really, he’s just doing it for fun, but I’m genuinely excited to see where he takes the series from here
Also, about Güby, it’s intentionally formatted that way. It’s supposed to have you go through the frames and stuff. Also, some stuff it does show, don’t take it too literally. It’s more metaphorical and if you know history or read certain books, some of it will make sense. Won’t spoil it though
Tell him to get a proofreader
Finally someone else who thinks Guby is a bad analog horror series with cliches and nonsense glitches. Also please don't use the word "art" for ai slop. That's not "art" that's an algorithm machine
Not trying to be rude but you spelled guby wrong
@@BlocksonAnimates4520 Oh sorry. **edits it**
@@DiamondWorldRUclips hope I helped
Sorry for the late response
@@BlocksonAnimates4520 It's ok
I was going to comment "Why isn't UrbanSpook here" because my RUclips was glitched and didn't show the full title lol
the batman one specifically bothers me as a hardcore batman fan bc there are so many characters you could use for effective horror! scarecrow, professor pyg, dollmaker, james gordon jr... and yeah, joker too ig. and if you specifically want BATMAN to be the killer- manbat! killer moth! owlman! theres so many "what if batman but evil" characters you can use, its just insulting
im pretty sure the person behind the spongebob analog horror video also made a nickelodeon 9/11 analog horror
I mean the kidnapping kids thing in the Batman series isn’t weird for exact reason of he’s trying to make a twisted version of his allies (which is shown in the video if my memory is correct) maybe it could’ve been done better but it makes sense for what we did get, at least to me that is
Yeah, this person missed some details that touch on the flaws of Batman as a character, namely his penchant for recruiting young children as his sidekicks and putting them in perilous situations.
@@AluminumFusion22 I just don’t get why the question is being asked in general since we are given the information that explains why he’s doing what he’s doing (only targeting known batfamily members to create a twisted version) it’s pretty obvious so the criticism feels slightly unnecessary overall
@@AluminumFusion22 this was my problem with this video, like I'm not sure how much batman lore they know , but to not understand batman kidnapping everyone who is/was apart of thee bat family tells me everything I need to about this person's knowledge of batman. And that's why I think it's kinda unfair to put it on this list of ***worst*** analog horror because it kinda comes off as "i don't get it, so it's bad".
W video. Watching these kinds of videos will definitely help me come up with better horror myself.
Brother lost one race and was like "welp, gonna hang myself i guess"
Newer Analogue horrors fall into the trap of trying to capture what makes stuff like Mandela and Walten files so good. Creativity is so sigma
