Analog Horror - Found Footage
108 readers
1 users here now
Analog horror can be seen as a descendant of creepypasta and found footage films. It draws inspiration from earlier works like The Blair Witch Project and The Ring, which utilized similar themes of manipulated media and unsettling narratives. The genre gained traction with the success of Local 58, No Through Road, and Gemini Home Entertainment. It is characterized by its use of low-fidelity visuals, cryptic messages, and a nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of late 20th-century television and analog media, often set between the 1960s and 1990s

The series this is part of Infomercials had a bunch that I loved, although I apparently haven't watched them all. There was another great series just as weird called Off The Air which has a lot of great episodes. Those episodes only aired at weird random times like the extra hour at 2am when daylight savings would take place.
