The Volgun has created a series in which he presents SCP articles as a lecture given by his spc researcher character, including audiologs and interviews. The Volgun is an irishman, doing an American accent so convincingly you won't believe it until the credits. Also everything sounds so professional grade, it's wonderful.

So yes I recommend this if you like spooky and or interesting things. There's literally ones with people talking to you, the tape recorder as they have to explore in the dark in an alien space, etc. It's da spookiest!

The old ones are well worth listening to as well, although his format really locked into place a year or two in. This is one of his first and I still enjoy it. It's also one of the shorter ones!

there was a thread for this kind of stuff ages and ages ago, I think in pyf, and pretty much every single video stuck with me. I think I showed like a dozen of my friends Cat with Hands

just rediscovered this one last year after several years of not quite remembering enough details to dredge it up. it's a loving Adidas ad somehow? directed by Charlie White (of Understanding Joshua)

I remember somebody saying they were a giant pussy because even There Is Nothing freaked them out
and I'd never heard of it so I looked it up and I was like wtf of course this freaked them out, this is freaky as poo poo. I couldn't even watch Username: 666 all the way through lol. and pre-gbs 2.0 goons had zero shame in admitting The Helvetica Scenario scared them :mmmhmm:
also uh the Close to You scene from Mirror Mask and I think a Tool music video with a claymation thing. OH and this Lou Reed music video o_0

other ones I remember but I'm not gonna track down right now because they weren't as good and are harder to google but please let me know if you know what they are:
- a woman is doing a jigsaw puzzle and slowly realizing the picture in the puzzle is of her doing the jigsaw puzzle seen from outside of her window, and she looks at the window and
- dude kills a dude and he's dragging his body down the stairs, and it's a long take of just an overhead shot of these weird stairs, and he hides the body as other people come by
- kids summon a demon with a ouija board or something, and it starts killing them, and they realize it only attacks you if you move or make a sound, so they start calling each other's celphones and poo poo to sacrifice each other to try to get away

I think I also remember people saying they were freaked out by the screen gems logo or something? and a picture of a little girl with a clown doll that used to broadcast in the u.k. when the bbc went off the air

I don't believe in the Giant of Kandahar. I don't think there is a giant snake in the Amazon rainforest called El Diablo that can stun cows by slamming it's head down on them and then drag them away to be eaten. I don't think Vietnam veterans encountered 7 foot tall bulletproof lizard people.

Still, some of the stories from Wartime Stories are quite entertaining and spooky. Like encounters with Djinns in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It's kind of like a soldiers version of boyscouts telling ghost stories around a campfire except it's presented as 100% non-fiction. You don't have to watch it either, just close your eyes and listen.

I had an Indonesian ex who took that Djinn poo poo very seriously. Swore she had an ex who had 5 trapped in jars somehow but scientists couldn't study them because they were too dangerous, but apparently inept enough to get trapped in a jar by some dude.

I insisted to go to these exorcism they do. She warned me that the djinn are invisible so it was just a bunch of dudes running around shouting at spooky ghosts. She swore the energy was so intense you would vomit but I guess I'm particularly powerful against the supernatural because it all just looked like a very dumb LARP.

This got me into Greg Weeks back in the day. Such an unnerving clip about, I dunno, how overwhelming adolescence can be? Or maybe it’s just about how sinister drooling shells change girls into rhinestone lizardwomen.


You Are A Werewolf posted:

The thing that blows me away about the The Rolling Giant video is that the entire vacant mall is based on the (now demolished) Valley View mall in Dallas, Texas and rendered almost entirely in Blender from the original mall blueprints; no real set. Same thing with the fully rendered descending staircase in the second part (Beneath the Earth). Like, holy gently caress that is talent and dedication.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lmAHZcpwx0

And yes, The Rolling Giant was actually real.

Analogue horror creators impress me in general with how much they can pull off with so little. The Oldest View sort of took it to the next level. I don’t necessarily want them to have inspired other creators to follow in this direction, because I really enjoy the diy low tech aesthetic and think it lends to the unique atmosphere of the sub genre, but the level of what they achieved technically with The Oldest View was insane. It also kinda made me mist up at the end, like, sure it could be an evil ghost mall with a monster giant rolling around it looking for victims, or maybe our buried past misses us as much as we miss it?

:hmmyes: It wasn’t until the explorer said “I’m leaving” did the Giant begin to act menacing and antagonistic, with the mall warping reality and dropping the viewer’s expectations that the Giant can’t move between floors since it’s on wheels. In spirit, the Giant was like a Langolier (with the mall being the lifeless past).

In spirit, the Giant was like a Langolier (with the mall being the lifeless past).

I didn’t get the sense that the giant was a langolier exactly, since my understanding of them is that they exist to clean up discarded remnants of used up existence. The coda video showed him in the past surrounded by happy people taking selfies and enjoying his presence. I thought he was just lonely and super stoked there was a person again, and he flipped out when he thought the guy was going to leave.

I was thinking about how malls sort of represent (or represented) the closest thing to a village center in many parts of America. Shopping was the excuse to be there, but it was all about being with friends and forming an ad hoc community with all the other shoppers. True Stories summed it up really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cYYPpZ8rFI

When the mall went away it wasn’t replaced by anything. It just became private property, illegal to exist on. The memory of it remained as does a desire to regain access to that specific kind of physical space, halfway between an everything is set up for your enjoyment theme park and a regular ol, make your own fun, park park.

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

The wildest coincidence about The Rolling Giant is the artist, Kevin Obregon, is the physical actor of the Sargent at Arms in the FMV weirdo-classic Harvester.

I adore “The Oldest View.” I don’t fear it because I view the Giant as nothing but sympathetic. Kane Pixels clearly did his research too, it’s something wonderful.

Last year I watched The Children Under the House which is told in a format of psychologist’s notes and a child’s drawings. Maybe it’s because it harkens back to an 80s style haunting story to me but I enjoyed it.

I am also an unabashed Monument Mythos enjoyer (start from the beginning). Anything frightening I get out of that is purely based on what I interpret the creator’s authorial intent to be, ie America has a horrific mythology covering up the worst of human atrocities but there’s still a crumb of hope in the best of us.

I loved the first two seasons, then thought the Nixonverse was an interesting subversion of superhero media. After that I promptly forgot it existed, until a couple days ago; I watched the third season and didn’t really enjoy the story but thought it had really cool sound design and was kind of…comfy, I guess. How do you rate the fourth season?

I’ll definitely check out The Children Under the House.

i looked up the release dates and it seems to be very close to when lethal company came out. does anyone know if coilhead was inspired by this?
