Amazing point. I mean think of it. Winter of 83, northern half of the Midwest. Vita carnis, Midwest (plus Canada). Mandela catalogue, Midwest. Gemini home entertainment, you guessed it, set in the Midwest. Greylocke, also Midwest. Midwest Angelica, that’s literally in the name. I’d cite more but the point’s been made and the only example I could think of that wasn’t set in the Midwest was the tangi virus in Louisiana. So yeah, never live in the American Midwest if you don’t want to die to unimaginable horrors in analogue format lol.
Winter of ‘83 is so refreshing, especially hearing real human voices rather than text to speech like so many, the acting is really great!! I also just love this concept of evil snow, it’s unique!
"Can you help me with this?" sounded way more unnerving than it should have. Also, with that last broadcast interference, could we safely say the entity said to "drown" in it because it somehow became a water body instead of simply being ice?
If what I read was correct, the reason why that line is so unnerving is due to an instinct to help others, so hearing an ask for help, but knowing it isn't human, is terrifying, as it's something trying to take advantage of a base instinct
@@issacclarke624 Someone mentioned that the entity heard it be used as a call and essentially thought "that will bring people to us" so they used it as a lure.
The fact you hear it again with Carl after watching the previous tape sends you into panic as you now realize Carl and whoever he was with is in INTIMIDATE danger.
God, I still remember that Jack Frost movie, for some reason the damn line "It's better to have a snow dad, than no dad" that the bully says near the end of the movie is just stuck in my head several years after I watched it when I first watched it
The dad in Jack Frost got to me as a kid too. I think it was the same thing that makes claymation creepy, just enough to make it look alive, but your brain knows it’s not supposed to be.
Its crazy this was made by Linkara, the writer of the Lightbringer webcomic, star and director of the Atop the Fourlth Wall movie (and series), along with the infamous running meme
You know what's crazier? That Linkara made this as an April Fool's joke. Dead serious, if you check the upload date of the original series, it was all on April 1st, and if you watch the end of the epilogue (the original upload), there's two words in large font: "APRIL FOOL'S"
@@samtinkle9076 I don't know what's worse... That fact that Linkara made this... Or that Winter of '83, a really well made analogy horror series (and quite possibly the best thing he's ever made), was made as an April Fools joke.
Thing is when he pulls himself off of his various soapboxes, Lewis has potential to be a really damn good horror writer. Look up his story compilation for king of worms as well as alot of the entity stuff. I mean the dude turned pokemon sprites (the entity being based off missingno and king of worms based off the pre silph scope ghost sprite) into eldritch gods. Granted he does have his character win through but it'd be kind of hard to run a show when, you know, the world has been wiped from existence.
But in all seriousness I just so happened to get the first video on my recommendation a couple minutes after it came out early in the morning, and I was so hooked, i love this kind of slow burn horror, and especially when it doesn't take 10 years to finish, but especially since each part came out every hour ai kept refreshing the page every hr or so just to see the next part It reminded me so much of when he did the entity(Missingno) arc and seeikg the horror slowly creep in
Loved this series, it feels like it's one reference away from being part of the Vintage8 universe of analog horror and I love that. Thanks for covering it 👍
Vintage8 goes hard as fuck I wish they had more recognition. I feel like the children under the house and original tangi virus series got some play with a few analog horror channels but on the whole they really haven’t had their time in the sun yet
i really love any horror that capitalizes on the unpredictability and sheer power of nature. forces we deal with all the time, but that we still don't truly understand and are ultimately at the mercy of... i guess that's why it's called "the supernatural"
Well the creator, Lewis Lovehaugh, has a thing for April Fools, where he makes a video in a different style. He did an episode ala James Rofle Monster Madness one year for example. This is just him deciding to take it even further
Winter of 83 has been my favorite analog horror for a while now, and I really hope that there is a continuation of it with that last bit of information at the end of the series.
Genuinely no other channel makes me drop everything and watch like this one does, your commentary and jokes are absolutely stand-out and I hope you have as fun making these as I do watching because holy hell
I must say, your calm explanation of spooky stories is a breath of fresh air. It is also nice to find someone who doesn't just show long stretches of original videos or read every bit of text on the screen.
you wanna know the scary thing? I live in Minnesota, and i can safely say, some of the weather and blizzards we have up here are as terrifying, if not more, than the ones depicted in this analog horror series.
Minnesotan here, analog horror aside, wind *is* the killer during the winters here. If you plan on visiting, outside of pants, boots, a cap and gloves, make sure your socks are wool, you got wool long underwear, your jacket has a fleece or wool liner, and above all else, you have something to fill the gap between the collar of your jacket and your neck. The winds here always find a way through your layers, tuck your shirt in, wear a scarf or neck gater, ensure your socks go higher than your ankles, and make your trips outside as short as possible. No joke, a few years ago, the WIND CHILL shut down schools and folks called in to work due to how hellacious it got. We’re talking frostbite in under five minutes on exposed skin.
20" is a lot, but it's about a foot and a half. One winter, we experienced 5-6 feet in a month. There was so much, towns and cities got permission to dump it in the ocean cause there was no where to put it. News outlets were comparing the total amounts to shaq hahah. It was crazy
Jack Frost (horror) is the kind of film that's "So bad that its hilarious", Kinda film to watch with friends, with a pizza and soda/beers and just enjoy a really cheesy film.
A lot of the choices here have got to be homages/inspired by Doctor Who episodes, yeah? “Who turned out the lights” = “can you help me with this”, etc.
I remember when I realized this was fucking Linkara. A man I remember for the Lightbringer comics and being one of Dough Walker's props... and he made something that was actually incredibly enjoyable. If you see this by some chance Linkara, I'm sorry.
Fine, then go away and let people enjoy the vid without your personal bias. Make a vid of your own about how bad it is, we'll see how many people care to watch.
@@lukasvonweidts9681wow, seen your comments, born a hater weren't you. If you didn't like it why watch a video about it? Just to leave crappy comments? What a sad life you must have.
I dont say this as an insult towards Winter of 83 because I enjoyed it. But, how painful to me that this person put more effort and energy into the characters and story of a Joke analog horror series than UrbanSpook did in the entirety of The Painter. The mayor in this series has more personality than the entire roster of The Painter. And this series was made as an april fools day joke while The Painter was to be taken seriously.
33:20 I conversed with Linkara, and he confirmed that the Kansas ending was a mistake and that the organism actually just made it to another Minnesota station.
>be PI >watch entire town get taken by unnatural snow monsters >escape on foot >think you might make it >turn around at noise >snow monster is doing a soyjak of your face >it then immediately kills you lmao got his ass
The great linkara, and he talked about, he talked about that horrible winter (inhale) the winter of 83, so baihd, so cold (inhale), not good. But nobody’ll talk about it-
I just thought of something if the creature became a snow like monster and the snow melted does that mean It's now a water creature? also with the end credit thingy where it ways "drown in us"
“Throw him out in the cold don’t give him his jacket”
“BUILD THAT WALL!” - Doug Walker
“If it comes down between you and the worms I’ll pick the worms every single time”
Couldn't think of an actual joke, huh?
Fellow Oneyplays fan
Jokes aside it's nice to see linkara do something good for once
Minnesotan here, all of this is just a normal winter and totally nothing out of the ordinary
hell nah there are faces in the snow :(

The true moral of Analog Horror is: Don't live in the Midwest.

Wake up babe. 4plus dropped new analog horror
I can't Believe linkara and the guys who helped make dragon Ball z abridged made something this scary
25:13 that’s some of the best voice acting I’ve heard in analog horror. It made ME anxious over a fake scenario haha

Man that sucks. I hope you recover well.
hope you get better soon!
26:30 is actually so freaking scary because we don’t see what happens. This is legit horror
As a Minnesotan can confirm it's pretty regular to have snow so cold that it becomes sentient
As a fellow Minnesotan I can agree
