Analog Horror - Found Footage

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

This House Has People in It is analog horror short film directed by Alan Resnick and transmitted on Adult Swim in the 2016. The film is known for its surreal and unsettling narrative: It unfolds through the lens of surveillance cameras in a suburban home during a birthday party, revealing bizarre and disturbing events involving a family. The central plot revolves around the teenage daughter, Madison, who appears to be in a state of distress, lying face-down on the kitchen floor...

One of the most interesting aspects is that the short film is not just a standalone piece of fiction; rather, it serves as the starting point for a more complex series of internet puzzles featuring codes and multiple videos to discover online. I strongly suggest to anyone interested to check the NightMind video for a complete and clear narrative.

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.
