they're like personified marvel movies they are incapable of understanding complex nuanced situations and responding to them without making a low effort quip
one of my OG favorite scary youtubers. i remember the days of debunking what are now obviously fake creepy pastas but that gave younger me a sense of comfort. glad to see your channel grow
@Giran The one that Scare Theater covered previously was also incredible obvious, the guy who didn't know if he was Asian or not but knew how reddit and Discord worked 100%. Thousands of very naive people believed him and attacked ST over it.
Pro tip: If someone is asking for advice for how to escape captivity or death on reddit instead of getting advice from sources that could actually help, they're most likely just farming upvotes or attention.
this doesnt always work because sometimes those resources are exhausted and they need someone elses help as they are all alone. this is a bad take. tons of actual real bad things have happened that also get posted online one that comes to mind about reddit is jasonincode/jasoninhell's story
I’ve actually tried to talk to Yang Xiangbin. I asked her if she still needed help. I researched a lot about what happened. Where she lived. What cult she was in with her husband. The scary part was I found an Asian web page all about people looking for their mothers sisters and wives and they post stuff on it about how each one lost there loved ones to this stupid “eastern lightning” It’s really very sad. Yang wouldn’t answer me but I got in a fight with a member.
Anything coming out of China on the internet is approved for release by the CCP, or put out themselves. I don't know what this web page you saw was, but you should take anything on it with a grain of salt.
It feels like I've been waiting for this for a lifetime. I'm seriously glad you're back dude, I was watching you in 2016 when I was like 10 And now I'm almost a senior in highschool. I hope life's going good for you.
I was a member of eastern lightning once. Thankfully it was for only a few months. I had a friend who had been separated from her child and husband, her husband wasn't a member of the cult. She was made to move to France from her home in china so she could recruit more members, I happened to be one of those recruits. I didn't realise it was a cult, I just thought I had a group of friends that wanted to talk about Jesus. One day they asked me to sing a hymn during one of these daily get togethers (if I ever missed a day they would get very upset at me and tell me it was Satan trying to get me) and I picked a cat stevens song. They acted so weird about it and laughed at me. They then told me to pick one of the eastern lightning songs next time. I told my boyfriend about it and he was like... are you in a cult? If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have known and would still be a member.
The minute you mentioned the name of the cult leader, I immediately went "oh no, Eastern Lightning". I knew that the cult was infamous in China, but I didn't think they were *this* violent in their beliefs.
Yea, take it from the CCP, who has an impeccable track record on definitely not throwing people into concentration camps, when they point to the dangers of an ideology.
Meh this all seems like ccp propaganda, the attack hasn’t been linked to EL and they disavowed it, this reddit woman is probably just trying to create a narrative so westerners will stop defending Chinas religious intolerance and persecutions.
There is no shortage of these huge narcissists, fooling gullible and desperate people, sadly. Unfortunately, these parasites live in luxury pretending to be messiah and don't have to work hard... But heh, that random woman is so godly she fails a crap little exam elaborated by mortal teachers, amirite? 🙄
Also what is it with Chinese Christian Cults and Exam Failures The leader of the Taiping Rebellion founded a Christian Cult after failing the Imperial Exams 2X.
Always love to see a ScareTheater upload. Hope you're doing alright, and thank you for providing such excellent entertainment all these years. All the best.
I love how you make more humor in these more recent videos than the older ones from back in the day. Thanks for making all these videos mate, been watching since 2016
That (again) in the title is really killing me. It makes it sound like the dude is just hopping from one cult to the next and keeps getting trapped. Poor guy can't catch a break
Effort?! He edited in the same asian woman falling backwards WITHIN 3 MINUTES maybe even shorter. The same pictures reused over and over and zoomed in. "I'm not sure what they mean by two souls" so either research more, or don't include it. This is one of the most low effort videos I've watched in a while and I'm not unsubbed. Content is much worse, much lower effort, but he's back for what they all come back for: money. Pay 5 dollars a month to watch him stream playing CHECKERS 4 times in the month? He does realize a twitch sub is 5 and they stream a whole hell of a lot more, right?
@@FinickyVoid if u don’t like it just don’t watch him, but it’s clear he’s putting in way more effort with a consistent upload schedule and regular streaming. You don’t have to pay the $5 id you don’t want to, and I’m not either, but there’s a reason scaretheater is popular.
this group actually has huge branches on facebook. my brother and I both got contacted by one of their members through facebook. her profile looked almost like a stock photo with high camera quality, everybody posing and saturation to make the photo look brighter. We figured that they were a group of Chinese christians who immigrated to our country and were sharing their version of christianity with us, so we were kind of curious about it. we asked if we could visit their church in person (lol) but they were responding incredibly vaguely. they have a big website with a huge library of videos, mostly recordings of them singing songs and such. they do a lot of livestreams which i believe are pre-made and go in a cycle. the people looked friendly enough but once you know the backstory then it makes a lot more sense. they left us alone so I think that they are probably befriending people on a massive scale and focus on the few people who reciprocate attention.
I got recruited from facebook because I mentioned that I was an ex christian wanting to get back into my faith and needed guidence. I had no idea it was a cult and it is scary how fast they indoctrinate you. They want to do group skype calls daily with you and then get very weird if you ever miss a day. Like they start telling you that it means that satan is trying to intervine with your path towards jesus and the closer you get to the truth the harder it becomes. It took me many years to unlearn the stuff they teach you. You're not allowed to be a free thinker, you have to follow everything they say or it's satan!
Yo, I just wanna say, I've been really enjoying this more plentiful upload schedule, but make sure not to over work yourself, bro. Take a break if you need it. We'll be here and will welcome you again with open arms :D
Eric, ever since you've come back after the leonard lake tapes vid break, i love how you've grown your channel and online personality. Seeing someone i spent so much time in my teens watching, start to use their face and integrate their personality into their new vids is rlly heartwarming and makes the vids a lot more engaging. Keep it up bro
ScareTheater Posts a Video (Again) Then Vanishes Joking, of course. I LOVE this channel, and I love ScareTheater for being the best content creator in the world
I remember listening to your videos in the background during classwork time and when i did homework back in high school, its good yo see you active. This is absolutely horrifying that things like this can and do happen. Cults are extremely dangerous and i feel so horrible for those who are corrupted by these toxic mindsets.
Almost at 1mil brother! Love the more personable (in my opinion) videos. Sadly I only found this channel a few years ago so I haven't been here from the start but I'll stay until the end.😅
i've been following you for so long since you were below 100k, it is so surreal to see you grow your channel this much and i didnt even notice it all these years
Mannnnnnnnnnn crazy to see how far you’ve came I remember being 14 watching your debunking vids at like 4am with my flash on cause I’d be scared you’re almost at a million now I remember when you had 15k when I found you😅
I remember watching you for years when I was younger. I am glad you're back to uploading again. I can't wait until you hit a million subs. Keep up the good work.
I wonder if they're made by actual cultists, with some misconceptions in it to make sure that when real people trapped in a cult try to seek help from the internet, they get dismissed as a troll.
Can we get an appreciation moment for the return of Scare Theater? I really thought that, during the content drought that happened (2020-2021), he was going to stop making this awesome videos and I'm glad he didn't stop.
i like the new look of the interludes where you pop in and do somethin funny or provide a little extra context, it makes our parasocial relationship feel very nice :thumbsup:
Ahhh yes i remember getting so invested in that cult story, and i also remember your video about it. MAN i love your content i just want you to know that🤙 please keep them coming they're so good!
Thoughts and prayes to ScareTheater hope he gets out of the cult, the way he speaks really just shows how terrified he is of what might happen if they find out.
My dude, I've following you since at least 2018 and I love the shape your content has been taking through the years. The end of this video in particular was hilarious. I hope you're doing alright and know if you ever decide to take a break again you'll have a lot of fans patiently waiting for you to come back if you decide to. Anyway, lots of love 💕
I remember when you said Mox Mox was never going to post again because it took him two weeks to make a video.. how times have changed lmfao. Good shit.
redditors when they hear someone needs emergency help (it's the perfect opportunity to make a joke)
Redditors try to be normal challenge (impossible)
Sometimes it really is a good opportunity. Not perfect, but good enough.
Because 95% of the time those "emergency help" posts are complete bullshit made up for karma
they're like personified marvel movies they are incapable of understanding complex nuanced situations and responding to them without making a low effort quip
Most of the time it’s bs. And Reddit shouldn’t be the place you ask for serious emergency help
one of my OG favorite scary youtubers. i remember the days of debunking what are now obviously fake creepy pastas but that gave younger me a sense of comfort. glad to see your channel grow
Thank you!
@@ScareTheater I grew up with your videos as a child and they made me love horror stories and creepypastas now. You deserve 1M subs
Totally!
@@DiamondWorldUA-cam grew up with your videos as a child 💀scaretheater isnt that old lmao
😂 well done
It still blows my mind that people think these fake stuck-in-a-cult people are real.
I could maybe see a couple of them being real but this one I can’t see being real at all 💀
Yeah, most cults usually make people cut contact with anyone NOT in said cults.
Ikr

@@azalago nothing like Reddit to cause people to harass others over the most obviously fake stories 😌
Kinda fucked up that someone would hoax this because it could cause very real problems for that woman since it's all so heavily tied to her.

Same here… I was watching him as a sophomore in high school initially 😮
same
Same here
I feel like scare theater always posts and leaves. I never Get the feeling he is back. And thats sad cause he WAS one of my favorite creators
Same! Been watching him since I was like 13 in 2017, pretty sure.
Alright, I'm supposed to be asleep... but this feels more important.

@@kdolo1887 what does that have to do with the cult’s members killing people lmao
@@obeseperson exactly. Eastern Lightning disavowed them and their actions. Nothing in this video has anything to do with EL
Meh this all seems like ccp propaganda, the attack hasn’t been linked to EL and they disavowed it, this reddit woman is probably just trying to create a narrative so westerners will stop defending Chinas religious intolerance and persecutions.
@@kdolo1887 yeah cool story bud

@@forickgrimaldus8301 Failing to enter college or higher education can result in dire consequences, history told us twice.

Always love to see a ScareTheater upload. Hope you're doing alright, and thank you for providing such excellent entertainment all these years. All the best.
Glad you enjoy it!
the ending had me cackling
you make the best debunking videos about this stuff on UA-cam fr

I love the amount of effort you’ve been putting into videos and interacting with your community recently, 1 Mil coming soon for sure
The fact that scaretheater doesn't have over a mil is surprising, he's such an iconic horror Channel

ScareTheater Posts a Video (Again) Then Vanishes
Joking, of course. I LOVE this channel, and I love ScareTheater for being the best content creator in the world
It’s to good to see you back in the swing. My true scare was you not returning about a year prior
Love how you're being more personable in your last few videos.
I know you're a scary youtuber but you can also be fucking hilarious when you try.
Bro, "Theater with an E R" killed me. Glad to see you're back at it.
These cults always prey on desperate people. Even if she missed her college exams she had all her life in front of her. Thanks for the video.
I've been really digging the sarcastic tones in your videos recently. Great job, welcome back man!

hi scaretheater. love the videos been around for a while and was very excited when you returned after your 1 year break
Been watching for awhile and was sad you were gone, we're happy youre back!

You've always been the goat of spooky youtubers. It's great to see you uploading again.
When Scare uploads, my day gets better. Great video!

Hi scaretheater. It’s crazy seeing you rise. I just bought one of your hoodies. Keep up the work I appreciate your work
Glad to see you are still posting and going strong! Please keep it up, love these scary vids, man!!
The first thing that came into my mind was, “Why would a cult kill their own Christ?”.
Can we get an appreciation moment for the return of Scare Theater?
I really thought that, during the content drought that happened (2020-2021), he was going to stop making this awesome videos and I'm glad he didn't stop.
You’ve always been one of my favorite UA-camrs glad to see you uploading every now and then
"front door, or the back door if you are trying to be sneaky" 😂
I really love how you still doing the 2015 editing it's amazing I love it
I remember watching you a bunch last year, good to have you back man!
Dang, this channel grew really fast! Good for you!
you’re getting more sillier i love it
i really like this new comedic style
been a fan since i was around 5-7 and have still waited for a new upload ever since then
Imagine being stuck in a cult and make a reddit avatar while you're trying to escape
Man im so glad you came back to youtube. You are one of my top favorite channels
Can’t wait till you hit a million man. You’ve been one of my favorite UA-camrs for hella long

babe wake up, new scaretheater video just dropped
Wasn’t expecting to get a NOTIF for a video upload by you while stoned. Hopefully I don’t have a panic attack
Is the asking for help scene send me 😂😂😭😭

Nice way to start my birthday. Thanks Scare for making my childhood!
Man I missed those videos so much! Super glad you're back and already excited for your next upload!
I remember when you said Mox Mox was never going to post again because it took him two weeks to make a video.. how times have changed lmfao. Good shit.
I remembered watching your videos in 6th grade. Now I'm in my freshmen year of college. Time surely goes fast Brody.
it's so nice to see you upload again 😭
Glad to see you back at it again Eric
I love the personality you put into this one. The editing as well 👏
Glad you liked it!!
Makes no sense...if they are the idol of the cult they could easily say to their leaders to restrain the husband...
Love the humorous part at the end 😊
Always love seeing your videos Eric :3
Always glad to see your posts!
I'm glad you are posting on a regular basis again
I am so glad scaretheatres back
