The Kid and The Camera is so damn good. It's crazy to think that the person who made this only has three videos on their channel, with this being their third video after like a 9 year hiatus from UA-cam.
Okay so a lot of coincidences but i was watching mother 3 n64 content and then I watched the horror short about the camera kid, then I think a saw you had a comment on that video, then this video got recommended to me only 15 minutes ago and I checked the comments and you commented here to. It amounts to alot of nothing but I just thought it was just weird, anyway that’s it
6:18 Here’s my theory why the Cipsneed shows up here, So basically he’s a life sized puppet that is used to lure kids into the unknown person basement & it makes luring kids into the basement more efficiently & easier. It also might be a costume too so he could look more friendly to kids so that won’t be scare of him when he goes lure the kids.
That's a good theory! However, I think that the cipsneed is the way that kailing sees his stalker, notice how whenever he takes a picture of something, it turns realistic? Or maybe it's a giant suit. I dunno
The reason why it's hard to find the full version of Great Choice is not because of Red Lobster--it's because the full version was originally intended to be shown in film festivals only.
i have the full version.its not actually hard to find.i have heard that u arent allowed to upload it tho cause someone takes this shyt serious n wil strike said person
I like the concept of the main villain of “The Kid and The Camera” video. It’s not a grotesque creature based on the cipsneed, it’s a man who lures with the cipsneed (puppet?).
I watched the kid and the camera and i found it terrifying, not because of the imagery or the audio, but the concept. This stuff ACTUALLY happens, and i find that terrifying
The way Audrey looked at the camera was nightmare fuel. I usually don’t get scared of things but I literally had to put my phone down when I saw that I couldn’t look at it
Lol dont worry youtube its fake But seriously dude think about it… Idk maybe the old man took out all the blood and shit idk and just leff 2 cut off feet in the basement.
I thought what it was implying was that the man seen at the end cut off the boy's feet elsewhere, maybe even just in another part of the room, either to mean he could never escape or just as part of some awful sadistic torture, and then dumped the feet on the floor when he took the boy off somewhere else. This really disturbed me because it made me imagine that someone has almost certainly done that to a child at some point in time.
I can't lie I thought the boy and the camera was gonna end with a jumpscare but dayum the ending... that is some of the best analog horror without any crappy jumpscares or cheap horror and crappy vhs. The narrorator actually sounds like a narrorator of some old english kids tv show and the narrorator doesnt change when the climax is met. The clipsneed also gives off a slightly eerie vibe to me, I don't know why. Maybe it's the long mouth and long fingers but I don't know.
It should be noted: The Kid and the Camera actually takes a lot of inspiration from a supposedly real Missing 411 case. I forget the exact year. Sometime in the mid 1800s, a young kid went camping with his family. They went off on their own to play in the river near their camp site (It should be noted, bodies of water are often associated with Missing 411). While they were playing in the water, they saw a man approaching. He talked with the kid and ultimately, invited them back to his house. In the end, the kid decided to go to the mans house, though very unsure about it until he saw one of his family members there. They all talked and had dinner and the kid wound up sleeping unintentionally, before going back to the campground. When he told the man that he was going back, the guy decided that he would accompany the kid part of the way, because it was supposedly dangerous. On the way, they took a path that the kid did not recognize from traveling to the house. They passed through an apple orchard. They did not go through an orchard when coming up to the house before. Only when leaving. But he didn't have the chance to ask about this. The man left as soon as they left the orchard. When the kid found the river he had been playing in, he looked back at the orchard he just left. It was gone. He turned back around and saw his family running over to him. It turns out that the kid had been missing for three days. Many search parties went out to look for him. He told them the story. No one knew of a house in the area. And the family member that was there at the house? He had never left the family. Whoever it was at the house, it was no one associated with the kid or his family.
@@zeusriveral8020 Unfortunately, I can't remember many of the details of the case. I have not been able to find it again. Dr. David Paulides talked about it on the Fireside Chat podcast. I don't remember which particular episode it was. Although, Fireside Chat is a REALLY interesting podcast. I highly recommend checking it out. Do not confuse this podcast with the one by PragerU.
Other than a kid going missing, I'm not seeing any resemblance to the story in the video. The kid in the video is at home, not camping. He's lured away in the middle of the night by a fairy or a man using a fairy puppet. And this kid didn't make it back home.
I don’t really think that PSA Analog horror are overrated now, maybe overdone in resent months by upcoming new channels in the Analog genre. The rise of analog horror began with the classic PSA format. So now the hard part is being unique. Like *the Kid and the Camera* I’m pretty surprised nobody hasn’t really done a children’s cartoon analog, or take *Monument Mythos* as an example of a semi documentary like horror.
there is a children’s cartoon analog i personally liked called Angel Hare, there’s some things i wish they didn’t do and i felt were overdone but the other 75% is great. you don’t see original cartoon analog horrors that animated, and it’s an interesting spin on the “cartoon character is sentient” trope. it’s also weirdly wholesome? edit: title correction
Analog Horror is something that anyone can do, but not everyone can do well. Some new favorites of mine are Welcome Home and Terminal 00, and they rely on websites and the act of exploring these websites as part of their act. Welcome Home is portrayed as a fan revival and archival project for an old but very beloved children's program, and has such a professional presentation that it's hard not to at least be impressed with the attention to details. A guest book with a handful of planted submissions and dozens of real ones, and even some drawings that are filenamed as answers to these guest book submissions. Exploring the website, you'll find a multi context link code, very hidden hyperlinks, overlapping and white-washed text hiding in plain sight, it's a wonderfully presented site that, if you weren't aware of it being a complete reversal of the usual mascot horror crap, where the product and its setting are genuine quality, you'd think it was a real site run by real fans of a show you just never heard of. Terminal 00 uses a neocities format to provide an audio visual experience while exploring a noise ridden webscape of geometric lifeforms, occult blasphemous, and far future technologies only ever suggested to in stories like Blame!/Biomecha and Seriel Experiments Lain. War, genocide, and corruption, abstractions and organizations on a front not only digital, but incomprehensible by its nature. It's such a unique story, and it is is bled into the authors book.
Neither of these are analog horror. Analog horror comes from analog television; if you couldn't look at it on an analog TV, it isn't analog horror. Welcome home is an incomplete ARG-like story and terminal 00 is digital horror.
Thanks for introducing The Kid and the Camera, that is a damn good video and has a ton of work in it. Great Choice I remember being mentioned by Sourcebrew on a iceberg chart, and I remember constantly trying to find it to no avail until it finally resurfaced. I’m glad it was uploaded though, its a damn good video and I loved every second of it
Still makes no sense. Was he dangling it from the roof? Was he below the window? Even so it’s impossible to control the puppet without using some string or sticks or something like that. Maybe it’s a costume
Dang the kid and the camera is genuinely a more dark f-ed up version of the phrase “Never trust stangers” tbh. That one was really good ao dam creepy and had me anxious as hell.
I have my own personal theory about the kid and the camera. The Cipsneed is a puppet due to us not seeing its legs and the man in the end of the video is the puppeteer
Did anyone notice that the Cipsneed little antennas actually look like eyes when they appear above his window pane? It literally jumpscared me because I thought a pair of eyes were suddenly staring at me
The kid and the camera fascinates me. It’s great. I hope more is uploaded to the channel. Here’s a little theory I have. If you look at the Cipsneed you can tell it’s some sort of butterfly, so I’m just going to call it the butterfly. The butterfly looks very weird in the slideshow. It’s eyes look like it’s missing eyeballs. Maybe it’s like some sort of William afton situation, The missing eyeballs is for visibility, like those plastic masks at Halloween stores, there is a person in that outfit almost certainly. The kid doesn’t recognize the Cipsneed so it’s probably not a mascot of anything, so it’s either a made up mascot thingy that the kidnapper made or maybe a book character.
Thank you for this video! I would've never seen The Kid and the Camera otherwise and that is a FANTASTIC short. It reminded me so much of the stuff I'd see as a kid in the 90s--it captured the style perfectly!
The stalker cutting off Kailyns feet in the first video is a pretty fucked up ending... the poor boy is probably still alive. Worse to think this could actually happen in real life.
I had kid and the camera stored in my watch later for a while and was neglecting it, but this video convinced me to check it out and I'm glad I did Also I think the cipsneed is a puppet or something being used to lure cailen
I totally agree with you on how analog horror has started to feel more and more saturated with every low-effort video that is getting churned out day by day. The part that annoys me the most is when you have people in the comments complimenting these low-effort videos, saying how "good it is" and whatnot. 🙄 I'd rather go back to the era of mid 2020 to early 2021, when analog horror videos weren't trying to ride on the success of The Mandela Catalogue.
i was never really scared of analog horror, it could just be any other horror, the only thing the analog quality of it adds is now it just looks like im watching in the lowest quality setting, to me it just adds nothing
@@eugenekrabs141 analog horror does much more than just make it look old, it utilizes the old hardware to it’s advantage, at least good analog horror does. Due to the hardware limitation, it can only show so much, leaving the rest up to your imagination. And the scariest monsters out there are the ones we create in out own heads. That’s what analog horror does! If your not scared of it that’s fine, but I just wanted to tell you this, and even if you don’t enjoy analog horror, you can at least appreciate it (if you’d like) for what it is. Despite how oversaturated the genre is nowadays, there’s still many great ones out there that deserve your attention, just like in cinema. For every 20 shitty ghost spooky horror movies, there’s a innovating and actually frightening one that releases. And I think the main thing we learned here was that we should support these diamonds in the rough!
@@RedLaundryBasket i never thought about it that way, i guess analog horror does kind of make you wonder what you can't see, im not that scared of it but after that explination i understand why you would be
@Doc K I never said any of that. I just said that I was tired of people applauding analog horror videos that are "below average" at best in terms of quality. You sound like a bit of a dick-rider, ngl.
@Doc K It's people like you that are the reason that analog horror is so stagnant nowadays. You guys just insist on coddling mediocre shit and whatnot.
I think the scary part about Great Choice is that you could get 30 shrimp for 10.99. Also off the back of finding a certain Doom mod that seems to repeat itself over and over looping in on itself I got vivid flashbacks. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Red lobster was laid out like a doom key card
Ive been left surprised at Analog horror and horror media online stuff but never have I had something pause a video and just leave me with my jaw open until it started to feel sore until seeing that genius work of the red lobster video.
For me this one is the most realistic analog horror ever made the beginning really look like a real show and not like a creepy cryptic things with a blag background on some images
Great choice gives similar vibes to Adult Swim's "Unedited Footage Of A Bear"; same style/ format, similar messaging, sam/similar overall feeling. Howvere, they differ ever so slightly from eachother. Undedited footage of a bear is about drug addiction, more specifiaclly allergy medication addiction. Great Choice is about alcoholism and the addiction and dependency that alcoholics face. Where they differ is the fact that the woman in Great Choice breaks free and goes to rehab/ Alcoholics Anonymous, the woman in Unedited footage of a bear stuggles and ultimately fails to break free. To me, it feels like Great Choice got it's inspiration from Unedited footage of a bear.
Definitely very similar. I think Footage of a bear does it better, as it has a lot of time to let things slowly unravel, but ig Red Lobster had less time to work with
“You are on the fastest available route”. (From a larger series, but this one stands alone to me) simple, no dumb scares, doesnt rely on old vhs stuff to be creepy. Feels like something that could happen, getting lost and having your navigation system leading you to your demise. The “destination” is now behind you and its faster than you can drive away from. Still gives me a weird feeling in my stomach.
Lacey's Wardrobe is really good, I would say even better than doors or great choice, I think great choice kinda gets to a point where it isn't analog horror anymore. Lacey stuck with me for days though, it's similar to boy and the camera, just a lot longer and also a lot more grotesque and unnerving, but it still uses something innocent to tell the story of real events, and things that can happen to anyone
I thought the cipsneed was a metaphor for childhood innocence. What let the kid get taken and what let the man kill him is the cipsneed, childhood innocence, being too trusting to other people they don’t know. This and how he was promised something could make the cipsneed not a good person but not a bad one either, if he is a metaphor for child innocence, then he didn’t know what he was doing.
I think the last one used the “generic” format correctly. You can take the most generic idea in existence and still make it good if you know what your doing.
The depressing and horrifying thing about it is the fact that children have been often lured into houses to meet nasty people they thought were their “friends”…
I’m not sure how I feel about Great Choice TBH, I don’t think its awful but it does seem like it falls into some horror tropes It’s not analog horror but I think you might find Adult Swim’s “still lost but here’s a tunnel i guess” interesting
Yeah I’m kinda convinced the reason he thinks about analog horror the way he does is cause he’s expecting something that isn’t there then blaming the genre itself for lack of what he expects. Like it’s a good video but without the grainy camera it literally fits in with like every other short film ever made. It’s good but it does kinda show where his expectations are when watching something fairly new genres like analog horror but that’s just my opinion
In Great Choice, the part where the woman challenges the waiter and is met with a beat of silence and the waiter slapping her with a paper with a beat of music and the woman says “hey” and it cutting back to the waiter gives me chills
There are limits to that though. So many of these series decided to show an apocalypse from which human society will never recover through the medium of slideshows. I don't need to be able to see much in the way of effects and violence but I do want more than a couple of low resolution photographs of people with their eyes and mouth made bigger in Photoshop accompanied by a text to speech program. My experience with so many of these series has been utterly underwhelming because there is literally so much you could be doing that isn't just a series of tedious PowerPoint presentations, followed by footage of characters filming their mundane activities, moments before something bad happens to them.
No Through Road is possibly one of the best analogue horror (considered also as one of analogue horror genre's foundational works) and I recommend watching the series.
If analog horror is starting to bore you, then I advise you to switch genres and check out this upcoming genee called Digital Horror. I like to think of it as the successor towards analog horror.
My wireless earbuds said “low power” as the the kid took the last photo. For like comedic timing. And scared the absolute crap out of me and had me gasp for air like a little kid watching saw for the first time
I think the doors one had a lot of missed potential. The idea of there being a new door added to your house, and if you try to look for it, the more confused you get, that sounds horrifying and unsettling. But the actual smile demon thing was just cliche
There is a scp where the premise is similar to the red lobster one, though with less symbolism, its a recording of a basketball game and the people in the recording are aware of the loop, and after a while the people were going insane and eventually the foundation stoped rerunning the tape.
These three are really outstanding. So much analogue horror is just either corrupted PSA's with cheap jumpscares or Just two dudes boringly talking for ages.
I think the kid and the Camera should be a kidnapping psa because of how the hooded figure uses the fairy puppet to lure the child into a old house in the basement
14:05 honestly, I wasn’t scared until I heard that sound when she’s just smiling I was only scared because it hurt my ears Edit: “great choice” actually scared me though
Honestly my favourite out of these was the kid and the camera i like how the cipsneed was handled i personally like to think the cipsneed was simply a costume the man wore to lure children which is the reason he appeared in the camera shots

They went off on their own to play in the river near their camp site (It should be noted, bodies of water are often associated with Missing 411).

It turns out that the kid had been missing for three days. Many search parties went out to look for him. He told them the story. No one knew of a house in the area. And the family member that was there at the house? He had never left the family. Whoever it was at the house, it was no one associated with the kid or his family.

If your not scared of it that’s fine, but I just wanted to tell you this, and even if you don’t enjoy analog horror, you can at least appreciate it (if you’d like) for what it is. Despite how oversaturated the genre is nowadays, there’s still many great ones out there that deserve your attention, just like in cinema. For every 20 shitty ghost spooky horror movies, there’s a innovating and actually frightening one that releases. And I think the main thing we learned here was that we should support these diamonds in the rough!
@@RedLaundryBasket i never thought about it that way, i guess analog horror does kind of make you wonder what you can't see, im not that scared of it but after that explination i understand why you would be
@Doc K
I never said any of that.
I just said that I was tired of people applauding analog horror videos that are "below average" at best in terms of quality.
You sound like a bit of a dick-rider, ngl.
@Doc K It's people like you that are the reason that analog horror is so stagnant nowadays.
You guys just insist on coddling mediocre shit and whatnot.
4:17 for something that looks so goofy it might give me a hard time falling asleep 💀
I think the scary part about Great Choice is that you could get 30 shrimp for 10.99.
Also off the back of finding a certain Doom mod that seems to repeat itself over and over looping in on itself I got vivid flashbacks.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the Red lobster was laid out like a doom key card
The cipsneed is both oddly cute and creepy at the same time i think the desighn for it was well done
Ive been left surprised at Analog horror and horror media online stuff but never have I had something pause a video and just leave me with my jaw open until it started to feel sore until seeing that genius work of the red lobster video.
Damn. That final jumpscare from doors got me. That spooked me 😂 the sound was quite well done. I recall an SCP scared me in just the same way 😂
For me this one is the most realistic analog horror ever made the beginning really look like a real show and not like a creepy cryptic things with a blag background on some images
As someone who's seen 'The Kid and the Camera,' it's seriously recommended watch. Especially on Halloween.
“Guess you could say great choice was a, great choice!”
*silence*
I thinks he’s running out of jokes
6:17 turned my lights on after seeing that.
Great choice gives similar vibes to Adult Swim's "Unedited Footage Of A Bear"; same style/ format, similar messaging, sam/similar overall feeling.
Howvere, they differ ever so slightly from eachother. Undedited footage of a bear is about drug addiction, more specifiaclly allergy medication addiction. Great Choice is about alcoholism and the addiction and dependency that alcoholics face. Where they differ is the fact that the woman in Great Choice breaks free and goes to rehab/ Alcoholics Anonymous, the woman in Unedited footage of a bear stuggles and ultimately fails to break free.
To me, it feels like Great Choice got it's inspiration from Unedited footage of a bear.
Definitely very similar. I think Footage of a bear does it better, as it has a lot of time to let things slowly unravel, but ig Red Lobster had less time to work with
Ok. The part at the end of the boy and the camera where it says *the rest of the boy was never found*
Keeps me up at night.
“You are on the fastest available route”. (From a larger series, but this one stands alone to me)
simple, no dumb scares, doesnt rely on old vhs stuff to be creepy.
Feels like something that could happen, getting lost and having your navigation system leading you to your demise.
The “destination” is now behind you and its faster than you can drive away from.
Still gives me a weird feeling in my stomach.
Lacey's Wardrobe is really good, I would say even better than doors or great choice, I think great choice kinda gets to a point where it isn't analog horror anymore.
Lacey stuck with me for days though, it's similar to boy and the camera, just a lot longer and also a lot more grotesque and unnerving, but it still uses something innocent to tell the story of real events, and things that can happen to anyone
I thought the cipsneed was a metaphor for childhood innocence. What let the kid get taken and what let the man kill him is the cipsneed, childhood innocence, being too trusting to other people they don’t know. This and how he was promised something could make the cipsneed not a good person but not a bad one either, if he is a metaphor for child innocence, then he didn’t know what he was doing.
I think the last one used the “generic” format correctly. You can take the most generic idea in existence and still make it good if you know what your doing.
Wow! Weird to see my video here!
Thanks for covering it!
I loved it! Looked at ur channel and I’m so glad ur love for horror hasn’t changed after almost a decade! Keep it up
NO WAY ITS HIM!!!!!!!!
I think what I like about analog horror, even the ones that do the same kind of thing as the others, is just the vibe.
the roblox side of my brain thought that dupe was behind that door and i'm ashamed of it
You better be.
As a Doors player you're mentally insane

💀💀💀
Honestly, the recent Mandela catalogue volumes (333 and 4) are AMAZING.
The Sleep Fairy one is less horrifying to me, and more depressing.
The depressing and horrifying thing about it is the fact that children have been often lured into houses to meet nasty people they thought were their “friends”…
The staroclock thing makes me feel so nostalgic
I’m not sure how I feel about Great Choice TBH, I don’t think its awful but it does seem like it falls into some horror tropes
It’s not analog horror but I think you might find Adult Swim’s “still lost but here’s a tunnel i guess” interesting
Yeah it does look like something adultswim would make
Yeah I’m kinda convinced the reason he thinks about analog horror the way he does is cause he’s expecting something that isn’t there then blaming the genre itself for lack of what he expects. Like it’s a good video but without the grainy camera it literally fits in with like every other short film ever made. It’s good but it does kinda show where his expectations are when watching something fairly new genres like analog horror but that’s just my opinion
Who knew Red Lobster could be incorporated into a fantastic analogy for addiction
Great Choice was far better than I expected. Thank you for covering that.
Scent bird is my favorite sponsor because as an anosmic person, I can skip it without feeling guilty.
Nice video man! GREAT CHOICE for analog horror videos to show here
In Great Choice, the part where the woman challenges the waiter and is met with a beat of silence and the waiter slapping her with a paper with a beat of music and the woman says “hey” and it cutting back to the waiter gives me chills
kid and the camera didn't scare me but it creeped me out cuz it had no jumpscare but it was still creepy
“Your mom smells like eggs” made me do a spit-take
The cipsneed was probably a puppet the guy was using
morthamshire is an unsettling one and my bar is pretty high for analog horror. it’s so memorable and extremely underrated
I watched the children under the house and it was so incredibly made as far as the storytelling and the art.
The kipsneed did the middle finger in front of the camera
Maybe the Doors one gets a pass because of it's simplicity? Good solid choices here
What a Great Choice of analog horror videos for this list
This is the stuff that should be blowing up, not that Mandela Catalogue slop
BRROOOO THE KIPSNEED IS SOMETHING ELSE
After Watching Great Choice I will never be able to hear those two words together like that again without instantly being a little terrified. Just me?
The kid and the camera was absolutely fire
whenever you change the audio to video audio, i always expect some kind of jumpscare
I always just assumed the kipsneed was just a literal puppet the killer used to lure in Caleb
I dunno if anyone noticed but at 4:52 there's eyes above the cipsneed which is creepy af 😅
I think its the cipsneed antenna
I love that ever since I watched the kid and the camera a month ago I’m seeing everyone talking about it
Here’s a fact about horror it’s more scary when it’s slow and not just a monster running around a house like a gorilla
There are limits to that though.
So many of these series decided to show an apocalypse from which human society will never recover through the medium of slideshows.
I don't need to be able to see much in the way of effects and violence but I do want more than a couple of low resolution photographs of people with their eyes and mouth made bigger in Photoshop accompanied by a text to speech program.
My experience with so many of these series has been utterly underwhelming because there is literally so much you could be doing that isn't just a series of tedious PowerPoint presentations, followed by footage of characters filming their mundane activities, moments before something bad happens to them.
Thanks for finding some these I hadn’t heard of!
10:25 I'm sorry that I'm such a freak, but this had me ROTFLMAO! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No Through Road is possibly one of the best analogue horror (considered also as one of analogue horror genre's foundational works) and I recommend watching the series.
The too many cooks reference…..elite.
I have a youtuber crush on you just from your voice at this point and this is the first video i’ve seen. You are a GEM
If analog horror is starting to bore you, then I advise you to switch genres and check out this upcoming genee called Digital Horror.
I like to think of it as the successor towards analog horror.
Upcoming? The genres been going on before analog horror blew up
@The voices are getting louder
Yeah, but I'm talking about the digital horror videos that are coming out as of recently.
The most horrifying analog horror is when you are flying an analog fpv quadcopter and lose signal while doing a complex trick
The kid and the camera even rewatching it makes me scared to sleep at night
I would heavily recommend Urban spook's FACES it's really high quality and it's an entire series
MY HEART IS FUCKING RACING WITH THE FIRST ONE 😰
My wireless earbuds said “low power” as the the kid took the last photo. For like comedic timing. And scared the absolute crap out of me and had me gasp for air like a little kid watching saw for the first time
I think the doors one had a lot of missed potential. The idea of there being a new door added to your house, and if you try to look for it, the more confused you get, that sounds horrifying and unsettling. But the actual smile demon thing was just cliche
this is my first time watching and i love it. 100% will subscribe
honesty "The Mandela Catalogue" is the best series
There is a scp where the premise is similar to the red lobster one, though with less symbolism, its a recording of a basketball game and the people in the recording are aware of the loop, and after a while the people were going insane and eventually the foundation stoped rerunning the tape.
These three are really outstanding. So much analogue horror is just either corrupted PSA's with cheap jumpscares or Just two dudes boringly talking for ages.
Cipsneed -- at least, the claymation version is legitimately adorable. 😅
The kid and the camera needs more coverage
I think the kid and the Camera should be a kidnapping psa because of how the hooded figure uses the fairy puppet to lure the child into a old house in the basement
14:05 honestly, I wasn’t scared until I heard that sound when she’s just smiling I was only scared because it hurt my ears
Edit: “great choice” actually scared me though
Honestly my favourite out of these was the kid and the camera i like how the cipsneed was handled i personally like to think the cipsneed was simply a costume the man wore to lure children which is the reason he appeared in the camera shots
I like to think that The Cipsneed is a puppet and the murderer is just hiding underneath the window, controlling the puppet
So the best analog horrors are the ones that feel like its a psa.
Vita Carnis’s Mimic documentary video has maybe the best jumpscare ever
Red lobster commercial was on UA-cam for a VERY short while. I was lucky to watch it before it got taken down.
