We got some pAInter art here, im so normal about him i promise
Drew these as a stress relief yesterday and like both suprisingly turned out better then expected
so like this is kinda out of character for both P03 and pAInter, its juuust purely comfort art if anything lmao
What are your LEAST favourite analog horror series and tropes?
I can’t stand EAS scenarios, sticking to one format and synthetic voices.
They can be used well, sure.
But only if done well or sparingly
Thank you for the ask.
There’s one big thing that always irritates me in analog horror, and it’s when they throw in some random awful event just to try to make it creepier. It doesn’t advance the story, it doesn’t add to the lore, it’s not something well made or interesting or unique. They just add something awful to make you uncomfortable because they can’t make real horror.
It’s why I could never really get into the painter. It’s just kinda dull. It’s the same format over and over with a few weird pictures and some text thats like “this person was alive when they got stabbed in the face. That would suck huh” like ok, cool, I guess it would.
There’s no element of real story, it’s not building up to anything. I’m not watching the next video thinking it’s going to be even better than the last one. The only thing keeping you watching is the hope that eventually they’ll show you something weird. I can’t get into an analog horror series where the only point of interest is “hey, isn’t this fucked up?”.
They really just spoon feed you the horror. Urban spook has never heard of show don’t tell.
Reading this back I guess that’s more two things.
My least favourite tropes in analog horror are shock for the sake of shock and explaining why something is scary.
Other than that I’d say I like most of the other tropes, even if they might be overused. Things like synthetic voices and EAS scenarios were always things I myself liked, although I get why they’d get annoying over time.
As for my least favourite series, I think you could figure it out from what I already wrote lol.
Yes since you mentioned him, UrbanSPOOK has gotten a lot of understandable backlash for his analog horror content.
I will say I liked his first couple of videos.
But after that everything he’s done since has felt like he was doing it out of spite.
Plus he can’t handle criticism apparently.
Since I mentioned it, Rockwell Forest is similar in premise to his Painter series (at least in terms of the serial killer thing).
Except Rockwell Forest is FAR superior in almost every way.
Yeah, I am not a big fan of urbanSPOOK.
Usually I’d be a lot nicer talking about a series I don’t like, just because I know how much effort goes into making analog horror and I don’t like to discourage people from creating, but I have no respect for him.
I haven’t started watching it yet, but I looked up Rockwell Forest on YouTube and I will say, it does look very interesting. I’m excited to start it!
