Analog horror

This article is currently waiting to be reviewed by Schism, a member of the ICU Doctoral Program.

Here is an example of analog horror entities. They are more powerful than your average person. Don’t worry though, you can tell them apart by looking at their differences and run away!

Analog horror is a crappy horror film made by random people on YouTube. Analog horror may include, horrible visual effects, some dumb storyline of someone recording a video then dying for no reason, stretched out stick figures called entities, and absurd amounts of static for no reason. It is said to have its origins in online horror of the late 2000s and early 2010s, including creepypasta stories

The only examples I could think of

The Mandela Catalogue

The Mandela Catalogue is another unoriginal horror film on YouTube. It is set in the fictional Mandela County, Wisconsin in the 1990s and 2000s, which is threatened by the presence of low quality stretched out stick figures called "alternates". They pretend to be real people and try kill other people

Other plot aspects include a weirdo with a stretched out face disguising himself as the biblical archangel Gabriel, shown through altered footage of episodes from The Bible.

The Smile Tapes

The smile tapes is a bunch of low quality photoshopped smiling people high on cocaine. For some random reason the drug makes people smile, laugh, and become hyperactive for 69 hours and die. Later in the series it is revealed that the drugs come from the spores of from the aSteROid BeLT that can magically control ants.

Backrooms

People randomly fall through the floor for no reason. They then enter a place with ugly god awful yellow wallpaper found at the discount store. There are more places like this where you can try to find the exit. These places are called levels which is just a shorter way of saying a dangerous liminal space. The yellow wallpaper place is know as the “Backrooms”. The horrible quality found footage comprises of people running around a yellow maze, running from black stringy messes that walk called “entities”. Said entities are commonly referred to as "watermelon eaters".

Gemini Home Entertainment

Gemini Home Entertainment is another unoriginal series about VHS tapes. The VHS tapes contain information about random horror stories people made up. The series also contains creatures like the wood crawler. The woodcrawler is a mess of tentacles with a light bulb attached. The series also contains more random things like the solar system waging war against the USA

Local 69

Local 69 is a series of videotaped footage of a TV station that has been continuously hijacked over several decades. During the hijackings crappy videos of made up warnings like DoNT LoOK aT tHE mOoN oR yOu wiLL dIE! appear, resulting in a lot of people looking at the Moon, seeing that they aren't dying, and then killing themselves.

Graphics

Analog horror entities completely covered in static.

Analog horror uses the most god awful, garbage ,and low quality graphics on YouTube. The standard video quality for analog horror is 144p and 7 FPS. The visual effects on the other hand are even worse. The visual effects compose of either stretched out stick figures or badly modeled messes of black stringy stuff with a weird distorted face called entities. Visual effects are usually made in Adobe After Effects and Blender.

Analog horror also consists of absurd amounts of static covering the entire screen. The static is a shameful attempt to cover up the bad visual effects.

Analog Horror with stick figures

Analog horror with stick figures involves about 2-4 stick figures on public bathroom signs. There is always one normal light purple stick figure representing a normal human being like you and another stretched out stick figure that has some weird shape for a head. Then there is the most distorted monotone ChatGPT text to speech voice telling the viewer about the crappy entity. Every one of these videos has the narrator talking about the what to do when you see the entity. The narrator then says something like, “tHerE hAs beEN 292,384,325 DeAThs oF ThIS mysTeRious EnTiTY!” Our narrator then says something like how we should run away from the entity and call the police. Then there is some random acronym that tells you what to do. An example is C.R.A.P. Which of course stands for

Call the police .

Resist the temptation to try to attack them.

Alert people that are also near the entity.

Please wait 30 minutes for the police to come while the entity tries to brutally mutilate you.

Example of you compared to the entity.
