i just want to thank you for what you do. i like the *story* in most horror media, but i have anxiety and can't really handle watching most horror videos and movies. the anticipation and the imagery (depending on what it is) is generally too much for me. your videos allow someone like me to be immersed in a story without having to worry about what might be coming up next. i can finally appreciate content that i would otherwise never know existed, and you have no idea exactly how grateful i am that your channel exists.
saxumbonum honestly I completely understand. honestly I almost enjoy this format more than going through it on my own. i love the interpretation that night mind does and I love the theatrics it's incredibly immersive and it's really great for like when I'm doing homework if you like night mind try inside a mind (cp games new channel cp games did alot of horror related stuff with alot of interpretation. )
And this is exactly why I blurred the 'Girl Goes Psycho' video and slowed down the 'Pierre's Head' jumpscare. Messages like yours are the kind I never expected to get when making this channel, and since becoming aware that there are viewers who feel this way and have this experience, I try to keep the course steady and make sure my content is accessible for everyone in the community. Thanks for letting me know I'm meeting that need for you.
being someone else who suffers from anxiety, I'm really glad to hear it's something you're making sure to take into account with your videos. Even if I'm perfectly aware that monsters aren't real, it doesn't stop my brain from insisting they are when I'm not at my best.
Honestly, when the video began and I heard "a hacker comes across a bunch of IP cameras and sees the paranormal through them" I was like "That would be a great movie concept!" So when it was revealed as a basically that, I was like "Oh sweet." I hope the guy who made it did get a career; because it is a really creative and well-made project.
If you watch the intruders at the very beginning before the lights turn on, they were speaking french until static happened and suddenly they were speaking perfect english.
That person just walking quickly up the stairs and flipping over the rail made my heart stop. The way that person was just walking in general gave me chills.
Apologies if I sound a bit 'off' in this video--I was experiencing a bit of illness this past week that could be heard in my voice. Also, for those who don't follow on Twitter, I'm glad to say that I'm back to regular weekly uploads! Trying for two videos a week as often as I can, towards the end of the week (think Thursday-Saturday). And as always, thank you, all of you, for being supporters and viewers of the channel. You guys mean the world to me.
i absolutely adore that despite how many jumpscares could've been crammed into this, it doesn't really use them. it just shows creepy stuff and amping up how much it unnerves us. this is my favourite kind of horror because i actually find it very unsettling compared to just being startled by jumpscares all the time
Yeah, I went through the whole gamut of acne cures in high school. One worked that was just a nuisance to take. Now in my 20's I occasionally break out, but I do find that a good day marathon of NM videos clears it right up. I should be in a commercially-nonviable infomercial.
Holy crap. This is so well made. Everything from the profoundly disturbing Nikki video to Anthony's absolutely haunting cries for help. Just the way Nikki looks when she's smashing her head, like she's literally being controlled by an unknown force. The way Anthony's screams are absorbed by the low quality camera microphone. I could feel the dread in my stomach on so many occasions here. This was magnificent.
Gosh darn it I am absolutely in love with this channel. Randomly came across it while creepin' through the creepy side of UA-cam. First video I watched, I thought the voice was computerized or something, but then I realized it's actually a person talking. Your voice is absolutely fantastic and a joy to listen to. And the way you describe and explain everything, in detail, making stories that are originally so convoluted seem so simple and obvious - it's truly fascinating. Thank you for providing us with such great videos, NM! :)
On one hand your voice is so soothing I would like to put on a video and go to sleep. On the other hand, you talk about spooky things and I think I'd have nightmares. Oh, tough calls.
given that there's two instances and one suggestion of people dying in the same spot on the stairs, I'd say that stairway has had a lot of one-night stands
I'll admit, I gasped when he said "seven proxies" and now have an incurable grin on my face. Thank you, Nick, you always know JUST how to end your videos.
This is probably the first one of these online exepriences that genuinely gave me the creeps while watching it. These guys did a really good job. And I regret watching it before I gotta head to sleep.
Phelous isn't on channel awesome anymore. He made his own website after he started to feel that channel awesome was becoming too populated. He also doesn't do horror movies that often anymore, instead focusing on bootleg movies and toys. He has a channel on youtube though, so you can watch him here if you want.
i honestly really dont like how the first videos are formatted. they feel like movie trailers, honestly, not someone showing what he's found. i can respect that there's editing but it all feels... a little too professional? and the movie tagline shit is, something. that said, i did really enjoy the 'live feed' on the site itself! the acting does feel a little weird at a couple points but not enough to be a major detraction, and i think its an interesting watch. also, the ghosts in the youtube videos are actually pretty well done even if the way its framed really throws off the feeling, and the viral video is actually pretty freaky
19:15 Definitely just me, but his screams here remind me of that eddsworld episode "Hello Hellhole." The part where Tom rides down that line thing. What I'm saying is this film has the acting quality of a 2007 Newgrounds Cartoon.
training archive yeah, I love how good Nick is about that kind of stuff, im always relatively comfortable watching his content because I know that while it'll unsettle me, he takes care to avoid jumpscares and gore unless absolutely vital to the explanation
This is a new frontier of motion picture/interactive "film". Digital media experience is a good phrase I'd say. One of the absolute BEST approaches in creating an experience I've ever seen!
Eeeeh, it's kind of like Night Trap, know what I mean? Multiple characters, you can look at the main story, but you have to pay attention to the hidden stuff in the other cameras to progress?
klunsgod ghost trap! Doo doo doot doo doot, watch out behind you, Ghost trap! Doo Doo doot Doo doot, you have the fright of you lifffffffffe, Ghost trap!
Okay, I understand night trap is pretty unique, and Camdrome is probably going to be like that, but are there any new games that do what Night Trap does and improves upon that Formula? No, waiting for jumpscares simulator 2017 doesn't count.
This reminds me of that movie "unfriended." Except that movie was the baby version of what this does. Very well done, very effective, and very thankful for your run-down.
@@JetSetDman as far as i know, the creator of tribe twelve’s ended up being a pretty bad person? you’d have to do your own research on this subject, i don’t know much about it
5 years too late here, but I must say I very much appreciate the detail of having the American guy there too, it’s a seamless way to explain why these French people are choosing to speak English. Excellent!!!
I swear to god your videos are so eerie and scary at times I find myself almost silently begging to hear your voice I'm so shaken. I'm not normally into ASMR but i could literally listen to you for hours. Keep up the great work!
Really? When was the breaking point for you during this video? I'm genuinely curious to know what did it. I might be desensitized now to a lot of the things I cover, because I watch things like this pretty much every single week, so I always like hearing what has a serious effect on viewers when I cover subjects.
You picked an excellent topic this week. It played into a lot of my fears. Where "This House Has People In It" was moreso a performance art piece, this one was a bit more frightening. It took a lot of what I personally love and am freaked out by, like paranormal investigation (not what the video was of course about, but it had characteristics of paranormal investigation) as well as security camera footage and the underlying fear that something could jump out at any time, or affect the hacker himself. Just a lot of fear of the unknown in this one. I didn't make it through the full video, I'd rather wait until day time. But overall just an excellent video.
The other night I experienced sleep paralysis and believe I saw the "Night Hag." I'm still getting over the experience, so I think I'll put of watching this until the morning, when I'm not completely paranoid.
I don't know what the Night Hag is, but I assume it's a shadow figure. That's a very common thing to hallucinate what experiencing sleep paralysis, often it's VERY scary. The trick is to close your eyes, then you're most likely to hear whispering and footsteps but it's not as bad as seeing scary shit. I've thankfully never experienced it (not jinxing it I hope), I'm just going off what I've learned in my lucid dreaming research.
Never had that, the closest was that sharp jolt of someone pulling my leg or struggling to breath. If I was more paranoid I'd think a supernatural creature has it out for me.
It didn't do anything to me, and I know it won't be a problem for most viewers, but I'm very aware that I do have viewers with a strong sensitivity to visuals like that (especially in this case, because they did a VERY good job). So from the onset, I knew I was going to throw a blur on there. It's great to try testing your limits with horror, but only under your own terms. In here, I try to make scary accessible for everybody.
yeah, it was pretty tastefully done, and even having seen the video before, I was feeling a bit uncomfortable knowing what was to come so I was glad to see it was obscured.
This project looks like something you'd probably see as a video installation in some obscure art exhibition at London lmao. Never actually seen supernatural/horror installations but it oddly reminded me of my experimental film classes.
I swear it's 2024 and everytime I get to 6:30 he always makes my heart drop because I saw the makeup video YEARS before I even got into args and such so to see him bring up something from way back in my past will always give me chills
Hey Nick, just wanted to make a suggestion: Put jump scare warnings in your videos. I don't know about everyone who watches your stuff but I'm only here for the mystery. Part of the reason I watch you is to avoid the horror aspects. So I would say make annotations for when they are about to come, that way people who don't want to see it have warning and people who do can turn them off and still be frightened. I don't know, probably just giving you more work but I thought I'd say it.
I think as time goes on the information medium of horror movies is becoming the draw as technology makes the former barriers to entry disappear for traditional horror movies. Its no longer risky experiments to try anything but the 'friday night spook fest to scare teens and make a buck' when anyone can make a bad traditional horror movie and throw in things like the now infamous "video co pilot extending jaw screamer face" -see almost every other blumhouse film of the last few years. I think the crux of it is how horror is literally seen -when the ease of tech to make it is now here- as a by the numbers process. Back in University we were outright told "Horror is just a 6 point story: Isolation, loss of control of the situation, a challenge to overcome, all seems lost, the challenge is overcome, normalcy is apparently restored' and thats how its taught. With the lack of the experimental drive of practical effects and ease of digital pre loaded techniques a straight horror film isn't enough anymore. Sure you can gripe about mainstream horror films, how the current year alone has seen 4 separate films about kids living in walls pretending to be supernatural horror till the end, but its an issue with audience expectations as well. As those expectations change with the times so must the medium and in 1999 it was stuff like The Last Broadcast and the Blair Witch Project but even thats now seen as hokey thanks to things like Paranormal Activity. I think these sort of experiments -which on paper includes many tropes of traditional horror films- are worthwhile ventures in experimenting with execution. I mean the key to horror after all is "don't show it all, let the audience imagine something worse" and with things like this and 'This house has people in it" you pull the audience in not for a jump scare but to hope to see a little more as you tense up, question the source of this growing unease and never quite see the full picture. Multiple sources like this put together only muddies the waters visually in a way i think really serves to pull off what makes horror films truly effective: never knowing the 'why'. Why does there need to be a book in the cabin in the evil dead? who knows. Why was the family in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre so twisted? who cares. Why was Josh standing the basement facing the corner? what does it matter? The piece that ends not explaining the 'why' to the viewer is frustrating of course, but it is also the most effective because at the end of the day you are like the characters, uncertain and in the dark. Not knowing all the answers and just waiting for them to die and get it over with. It keeps you coming back to watch the same films again to notice something new or simply hope that you do. A mystery solved is never as satisfying as all the daydreams and nightmares over what it could be and as people strive for new creative ways to do this i think the creator here pulled off something very well even if the events, acting and progression in a vacuum were somewhat lacklustre. You didn't finish it complaining about the flaws, you ended it wanting to know what was wrong with the house and the best horror films remind us of life rather than let us escape it: Sometimes there is never going to be an answer. It just happens and you will never know why. Hands down my longest youtube comment ever but you dont go to college and university for years studying the theory behind this kind of thing to not get excited about new ways to tell stories!
StarChildJax Sorry, but your comment is really fucking worthless. OP made a meaningful comment about the execution of horror and experimentation, but you complain about the length of his comment.
ok true, you're not wrong-BUT ITS LITERALLY THE COMENT SECTION OF A UA-cam VIDEO. Like come on man, if he wanted to do this he could've just posted it on the possible reddit page for this. Also, don't be such a fucking white knight, kissin his ass like that.
StarChildJax It's a fucking comment, jackass. What the fuck is your problem, shooting down someone's opinion because "it's too long, waaaah!". You stated yourself, it's the FUCKING COMMENT SECTION. Who the hell cares what goes on in it?
Now THAT'S what I call production quality! Marketed and edited like a proper horror movie. What it lacks in "Immersion" it certainly makes up for in delivery.
Every one of your videos is no less than amazing. The only UA-camr that I can super excited seeing a new upload from. Definitely one of the best channels like this. But also unlike any other channel. Keep it up and I hope to see another video soon.
This project really is fascinating. Both from the story prospective and simply from the scares. Most of the time I can sit through one of your videos Nick and not really be bothered by the scares since I'm more focused on trying to figure out what's happening. But this time I just felt.. Unsettled. Even among other found film projects, which are always trying to get a cheap jumpscare out of you, this one seems to know exactly how to get under your skin (Yeah I'm talking about you demon girl staring into the camera). Great job as always Nick, and thank you for bringing my attention to this. Considering whether I should take on the project of analyzing all 9 hours at some point.
Unfortunately, by no fault of your own Nick, I could the bits before the break in this was partially promotional material. It was... formatted too professionally. The self advertising, the movie like tag line... it was a little disjointed from the idea of someone just showing people what they've found.
Sometimes I listen to these videos more than watch them, so i love when I get surprisingly funny out-of-context moments. Like I look away for two minutes and when I look back suddenly there’s some hoodie dude in a trance state casually throwing himself off a balcony aghfssggsc he didn’t even move his arms from his sides
There's plenty of found footage films that clearly played a part in inspiring this, but it overall reminds me a lot of the '92 BBC TV film Ghostwatch, which was presented in the style of a live feed reality show with actual known news personalities involved, and as a tv movie had an added interactive element where it listed a number viewers could call in, which played a message assuring them it was fictional, but so many people called on broadcast night that the line stayed busy and instead added to the terror of it. Given that it seems to be better known in Europe, I wonder how familiar with it Liaros is? Honestly, a Night Mind video about Ghostwatch would probably be pretty cool. It's an older traditional media work, but it was a really interesting early foray into the possibilities of interactive horror, and one that could probably use more love and attention.
I actually like this because the hacker was in a room by himself and no one could get him and we could see almost everywhere in the house without actually having to go there. Cameras are nice.
keep them coming Nick! It would be awesome if you did a part 2 explaining the plot of the short film itself. I don't want to make you watch it all but it would be interesting to see how much effort was exactly put into this project, and I think it would be the only true way to appreciate it in all it's glory
I came back to finish the video (too exhausted to stay up last night lol) and I gotta say the production quality for these vids is insane like it could legit be on television so it blows most of UA-cam out of the water.
Dang, this is the first Night Mind video I'm genuinely struggling to get through. Just something about the atmosphere, the dark cameras, it fills me with dread (excepting the possessed guy falling down the stairs, I laughed for like 5 min). Even now I'm wasting time with the video paused just because I'm nervous. You know it's a well crafted horror experience if even the recap video makes you nervous
Nick you are amazing. I'm so happy to have come a across your channel when I did I never leave disappointed! Keep up the great work, I look forward to these videos all the time! I would of course be so stoked to see you try your hand at an arg or a video project. Heck I would be happy to see you make a commercial let alone a full length film!
Your videos are so good that I keep rewatchin' them from time to time when you don't upload for a while, and everytime I come back, the see that your channel is growin' more and more! I remember when you had so much less subs and discussed your plans for this year and tbh You haven't let us down a single bit. Just stay a little more active on FB and keep us updatin' with what's on the way. Much love fam, keep doin' your thin' Nick! 🙌
It's the heroin addiction of horror; it's fast-acting, relatively cheap, and always works. And it should be fucking outlawed. Just like *actual* heroin addiction works for some very tiny subgroup of users, the overwhelming majority of users, and horror, are absolutely, irredeemably destroyed by its use.
Taticat NineLand To say it should be "outlawed" is just crazy. I'm not saying jump scares can't be cheap, but if done right then i see no problem with one. Cheap jump scares suck ass and so do false jump scares but to say they cant' be done well is dumb.
John doe I'm pretty sure Taticat NineLand was exaggerating on the outlaw of a cinematic technique by comparing it to a drug that has a higher rate of harm than aid.
You are simply the best in this category of YT videos. You have personality, are intuitive and purely brilliant. The problem with the other ones are is that either they have absolutely no personality- make videos just to make them and their fans actually put the pieces together better in the comments than they do or they talk aimlessly too fuckin much OR they try way too hard and just come across as a ass hats
It just kills me when, in the surveillance videos, there are four people talking in English, all with heavy French accents. That immediately destroys the immersion factor for me. Why would they not be talking in French, especially when they're panicking? Clearly they don't *know* they're performing for a wider non-francophone audience, right? Right?! Unless they're all in English class together and they're practicing. Yeah, that must be it. Never mind, my entire argument is invalid. They're just really dedicated when they keep practicing after they find their special friend's corpse at the bottom of the stairs.
short film? yeah I agree 9 hrs of footage is a very small film
sɧeery wedge* ;)
imagine them playing that at this film festival they were making it for
Lol

My thoughts
Its also a game, NightTrap, was recently rereleased, and might've been the inspiration
If you watch the intruders at the very beginning before the lights turn on, they were speaking french until static happened and suddenly they were speaking perfect english.
How’s that work?
@@loganreads90 ghoooooooooost magic
oooooOOOOOOOOOoooooooooh
What were they saying?
ghosts are amazing translators
I wouldn’t say perfect, and also that can easily be explained as them just being bilingual and choosing to speak French or English at any given point
That person just walking quickly up the stairs and flipping over the rail made my heart stop. The way that person was just walking in general gave me chills.
That was the part that got me when I watched it, too. Was chilling.

You sound good to me! Get well soon, dude! Great video, as always.
You did sound a little tired at some points, but don't worry. You're still awesome!

Yeah, I went through the whole gamut of acne cures in high school. One worked that was just a nuisance to take. Now in my 20's I occasionally break out, but I do find that a good day marathon of NM videos clears it right up. I should be in a commercially-nonviable infomercial.

An oximoron for all.
Hurry up, hurry up towards me,

Lewis King | Agreed.
Wut
Love you let’s read! Thanks for your amazing channel!
A story of Hackers, Demons, Mystery, Action, Suspense, Romance?
Nah, nobody got to the 'romance' part that night.
Does Catherine and the stairway count as romance?
given that there's two instances and one suggestion of people dying in the same spot on the stairs, I'd say that stairway has had a lot of one-night stands
More like one-night falls
Man I KNEW I was missing a good pun opportunity there. Props to you.

when nick compares smth to this house u know it's gonna be good
Mysterysoup Productions phelous? sorry, doesn't sound familiar... I could be wrong though, I comment on a lot of different stuff lol
hopeampora He's a Channel Awesome reviewer that reviews bad horror movies and bootleg cartoons. He's very funny!
1Kenny30 hmm, i used to watch nostalgia critic but that's the only channel awesome stuff I've watched... ill have to check this phelous guy out!
I don't think Phelous is a part of CA anymore
Phelous isn't on channel awesome anymore. He made his own website after he started to feel that channel awesome was becoming too populated. He also doesn't do horror movies that often anymore, instead focusing on bootleg movies and toys. He has a channel on youtube though, so you can watch him here if you want.
I was a little scared, then I realised how funny it must have been when they were filming it XD
20:49 when someone walks up to you watching porn so you switch to tab but it just has more porn in it
grose zero do I get caught with midget porn child porn or animal porn so many questions so little time on shit it's the FBI.
This should be a meme.
Great now when I watch that part of the video I can't stop laughing
this is freaking golden
Gay
Echo_JT no u
i honestly really dont like how the first videos are formatted. they feel like movie trailers, honestly, not someone showing what he's found. i can respect that there's editing but it all feels... a little too professional? and the movie tagline shit is, something.
that said, i did really enjoy the 'live feed' on the site itself! the acting does feel a little weird at a couple points but not enough to be a major detraction, and i think its an interesting watch. also, the ghosts in the youtube videos are actually pretty well done even if the way its framed really throws off the feeling, and the viral video is actually pretty freaky
19:15 Definitely just me, but his screams here remind me of that eddsworld episode "Hello Hellhole." The part where Tom rides down that line thing.
What I'm saying is this film has the acting quality of a 2007 Newgrounds Cartoon.
Alden martin just thinking of eddsworld kinda makes me want to die
tgg1217 Nah man, Eddsworld is badass.
Alden martin i mean cuz he passed and it makes me sad
tgg1217 Yeah, that totally sucks.
Josh L Well, and this thing was preformed by a bunch of non-native English speakers.
thank you for censoring the makeup tutorial vid! it always makes me feel really weird after seeing it
training archive yeah, I love how good Nick is about that kind of stuff, im always relatively comfortable watching his content because I know that while it'll unsettle me, he takes care to avoid jumpscares and gore unless absolutely vital to the explanation
hopeampora or ben drowned
Exactly! I'm not too freaked out by blood and stuff, but that video... There's something about it...
Amaz1ngWhale yeah thats it for me. cursed video
training archive I haven't seen that video in forever but yeah that video fucks with my conscious
Every time someone walked up to the camera I was like "fight me"
This is a new frontier of motion picture/interactive "film". Digital media experience is a good phrase I'd say. One of the absolute BEST approaches in creating an experience I've ever seen!
Eeeeh, it's kind of like Night Trap, know what I mean? Multiple characters, you can look at the main story, but you have to pay attention to the hidden stuff in the other cameras to progress?
They should update the video to add traps around the house.
klunsgod ghost trap! Doo doo doot doo doot, watch out behind you, Ghost trap! Doo Doo doot Doo doot, you have the fright of you lifffffffffe, Ghost trap!
Okay, I understand night trap is pretty unique, and Camdrome is probably going to be like that, but are there any new games that do what Night Trap does and improves upon that Formula? No, waiting for jumpscares simulator 2017 doesn't count.
Hung Tang FNAF...

This reminds me of that movie "unfriended." Except that movie was the baby version of what this does. Very well done, very effective, and very thankful for your run-down.
When I saw that lil tribetwelve clip on the bottom-centre screen in the beginning, my heart melted
Also, thank you for blurring out Nikki slamming her face on the desk

Yeah another has some pretty good death scenes.

I wish this was still running, the people behind this were clearly very talented and knew what they were doing.
Shame it had to end where it did.
5 years too late here, but I must say I very much appreciate the detail of having the American guy there too, it’s a seamless way to explain why these French people are choosing to speak English. Excellent!!!

The first Night Mind video I'm finding too scary to sit through
Really? When was the breaking point for you during this video? I'm genuinely curious to know what did it. I might be desensitized now to a lot of the things I cover, because I watch things like this pretty much every single week, so I always like hearing what has a serious effect on viewers when I cover subjects.
+Night Mind For me it was around 21:30, I don't like people getting super close to a screen, it's very uncomfortable.
Atlas Chronos I agree
You picked an excellent topic this week. It played into a lot of my fears. Where "This House Has People In It" was moreso a performance art piece, this one was a bit more frightening. It took a lot of what I personally love and am freaked out by, like paranormal investigation (not what the video was of course about, but it had characteristics of paranormal investigation) as well as security camera footage and the underlying fear that something could jump out at any time, or affect the hacker himself. Just a lot of fear of the unknown in this one. I didn't make it through the full video, I'd rather wait until day time. But overall just an excellent video.
Agreed, around 21:30 was when I decided I would just listen and occasionally peek at the video.
The other night I experienced sleep paralysis and believe I saw the "Night Hag." I'm still getting over the experience, so I think I'll put of watching this until the morning, when I'm not completely paranoid.
I don't know what the Night Hag is, but I assume it's a shadow figure. That's a very common thing to hallucinate what experiencing sleep paralysis, often it's VERY scary. The trick is to close your eyes, then you're most likely to hear whispering and footsteps but it's not as bad as seeing scary shit.
I've thankfully never experienced it (not jinxing it I hope), I'm just going off what I've learned in my lucid dreaming research.
Never had that, the closest was that sharp jolt of someone pulling my leg or struggling to breath. If I was more paranoid I'd think a supernatural creature has it out for me.
Amaz1ngWhale I was legit traumatized by that as a child. To this day I get a little creeped out by silhouettes.

nah, im only 22 and i thought of Night Trap first too 😂 its just more accurate
Possessed Mark: Can't get into the room? Guess I'll die. (Not gonna lie, I laughed a little too hard there. I need to up my Prozac intake)
Thanks for blurring the blood and stuff at the gross parts
It's funny, it's not that I can't handle that stuff, but even I covered it up lol. It's just so... unnerving....
It didn't do anything to me, and I know it won't be a problem for most viewers, but I'm very aware that I do have viewers with a strong sensitivity to visuals like that (especially in this case, because they did a VERY good job). So from the onset, I knew I was going to throw a blur on there.
It's great to try testing your limits with horror, but only under your own terms. In here, I try to make scary accessible for everybody.
yeah, it was pretty tastefully done, and even having seen the video before, I was feeling a bit uncomfortable knowing what was to come so I was glad to see it was obscured.
prominentturkey you're really cool
@@NightMind "(Making) Scary accessible for everybody" That is a good slogan.
This project looks like something you'd probably see as a video installation in some obscure art exhibition at London lmao. Never actually seen supernatural/horror installations but it oddly reminded me of my experimental film classes.

"You'd have to suffer" seriously gave me chills
Hey Nick, just wanted to make a suggestion: Put jump scare warnings in your videos. I don't know about everyone who watches your stuff but I'm only here for the mystery. Part of the reason I watch you is to avoid the horror aspects. So I would say make annotations for when they are about to come, that way people who don't want to see it have warning and people who do can turn them off and still be frightened. I don't know, probably just giving you more work but I thought I'd say it.
Now I’m paranoid
Benjamin SHUT YOUR SCARY ASS UP BITCH WHAT ARE YOU 13? HOW YOU ARE SCARED FROM ANYTHING ON A SCREEN???
@@handsomest1 there is something called ''anxiety "
But your too young to understand it...
Thank you for giving me a way to watch scary things without, you know, having a heart attack.
9:53 It's more like Night Trap. That game had you following intruders with security cameras as well.
Not even halfway through but I can already tell that Pierre deserves better than whatever happens to him
I was yelling the whole time “Pierre leave! Just leave!”
nick, for some reason, i just LOVE hearing your voice.
I love your work man. The amount of work and editing you put into your videos is amazing. Thank you for all of this.
Thanks! I'm very grateful for your viewing and support, and glad I can make content you enjoy enough to keep coming back!
I can't help but hear his cool voice when I read his comment.
Thank you for holding our hands through this one, Nick.
I think as time goes on the information medium of horror movies is becoming the draw as technology makes the former barriers to entry disappear for traditional horror movies. Its no longer risky experiments to try anything but the 'friday night spook fest to scare teens and make a buck' when anyone can make a bad traditional horror movie and throw in things like the now infamous "video co pilot extending jaw screamer face" -see almost every other blumhouse film of the last few years.
I think the crux of it is how horror is literally seen -when the ease of tech to make it is now here- as a by the numbers process. Back in University we were outright told "Horror is just a 6 point story: Isolation, loss of control of the situation, a challenge to overcome, all seems lost, the challenge is overcome, normalcy is apparently restored' and thats how its taught. With the lack of the experimental drive of practical effects and ease of digital pre loaded techniques a straight horror film isn't enough anymore.
Sure you can gripe about mainstream horror films, how the current year alone has seen 4 separate films about kids living in walls pretending to be supernatural horror till the end, but its an issue with audience expectations as well. As those expectations change with the times so must the medium and in 1999 it was stuff like The Last Broadcast and the Blair Witch Project but even thats now seen as hokey thanks to things like Paranormal Activity.
I think these sort of experiments -which on paper includes many tropes of traditional horror films- are worthwhile ventures in experimenting with execution. I mean the key to horror after all is "don't show it all, let the audience imagine something worse" and with things like this and 'This house has people in it" you pull the audience in not for a jump scare but to hope to see a little more as you tense up, question the source of this growing unease and never quite see the full picture. Multiple sources like this put together only muddies the waters visually in a way i think really serves to pull off what makes horror films truly effective: never knowing the 'why'. Why does there need to be a book in the cabin in the evil dead? who knows. Why was the family in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre so twisted? who cares. Why was Josh standing the basement facing the corner? what does it matter?
The piece that ends not explaining the 'why' to the viewer is frustrating of course, but it is also the most effective because at the end of the day you are like the characters, uncertain and in the dark. Not knowing all the answers and just waiting for them to die and get it over with. It keeps you coming back to watch the same films again to notice something new or simply hope that you do. A mystery solved is never as satisfying as all the daydreams and nightmares over what it could be and as people strive for new creative ways to do this i think the creator here pulled off something very well even if the events, acting and progression in a vacuum were somewhat lacklustre. You didn't finish it complaining about the flaws, you ended it wanting to know what was wrong with the house and the best horror films remind us of life rather than let us escape it: Sometimes there is never going to be an answer. It just happens and you will never know why.
Hands down my longest youtube comment ever but you dont go to college and university for years studying the theory behind this kind of thing to not get excited about new ways to tell stories!
TheDeliciousMystery did you really need to type a whole god damn essay?
StarChildJax Sorry, but your comment is really fucking worthless. OP made a meaningful comment about the execution of horror and experimentation, but you complain about the length of his comment.
ok true, you're not wrong-BUT ITS LITERALLY THE COMENT SECTION OF A UA-cam VIDEO. Like come on man, if he wanted to do this he could've just posted it on the possible reddit page for this. Also, don't be such a fucking white knight, kissin his ass like that.
StarChildJax It's a fucking comment, jackass. What the fuck is your problem, shooting down someone's opinion because "it's too long, waaaah!". You stated yourself, it's the FUCKING COMMENT SECTION. Who the hell cares what goes on in it?

Quelle surprise.
Now THAT'S what I call production quality! Marketed and edited like a proper horror movie. What it lacks in "Immersion" it certainly makes up for in delivery.
Every one of your videos is no less than amazing. The only UA-camr that I can super excited seeing a new upload from.
Definitely one of the best channels like this. But also unlike any other channel.
Keep it up and I hope to see another video soon.
Jackie Bell ARE YOU SINGLE?
This project really is fascinating. Both from the story prospective and simply from the scares. Most of the time I can sit through one of your videos Nick and not really be bothered by the scares since I'm more focused on trying to figure out what's happening. But this time I just felt.. Unsettled. Even among other found film projects, which are always trying to get a cheap jumpscare out of you, this one seems to know exactly how to get under your skin (Yeah I'm talking about you demon girl staring into the camera). Great job as always Nick, and thank you for bringing my attention to this. Considering whether I should take on the project of analyzing all 9 hours at some point.
FreeCoyote BUT IT IS FAKE SO STFU
@@handsomest1 It's a work of fiction, not a hoax. You're _supposed_ to know it isn't real.
Imagine making something like this pretending to accidentally capture the paranormal and _actually_ capturing the paranormal
your videos have such an amazing ambiance, you build atmosphere with audio and narration. I love it.
Unfortunately, by no fault of your own Nick, I could the bits before the break in this was partially promotional material. It was... formatted too professionally. The self advertising, the movie like tag line... it was a little disjointed from the idea of someone just showing people what they've found.
Not to say this wasn't an AMAZING project.

Awesome Work Nick!
Sometimes I listen to these videos more than watch them, so i love when I get surprisingly funny out-of-context moments. Like I look away for two minutes and when I look back suddenly there’s some hoodie dude in a trance state casually throwing himself off a balcony aghfssggsc he didn’t even move his arms from his sides

Who’s aiden pearce?
Steve Patricia MacLeod main character from Watchdogs, a video game where you’re a hacker
EpsilonGaming also hacks with an iPhone.
There's plenty of found footage films that clearly played a part in inspiring this, but it overall reminds me a lot of the '92 BBC TV film Ghostwatch, which was presented in the style of a live feed reality show with actual known news personalities involved, and as a tv movie had an added interactive element where it listed a number viewers could call in, which played a message assuring them it was fictional, but so many people called on broadcast night that the line stayed busy and instead added to the terror of it. Given that it seems to be better known in Europe, I wonder how familiar with it Liaros is?
Honestly, a Night Mind video about Ghostwatch would probably be pretty cool. It's an older traditional media work, but it was a really interesting early foray into the possibilities of interactive horror, and one that could probably use more love and attention.
Even the comment section has a cold dark Erie vibe with a chill in the air and the feeling that someone is watching you
No I’m not
Kyle Ohlson are you watching me
Kyle Ohlson WILL WATCH YOU
I actually like this because the hacker was in a room by himself and no one could get him and we could see almost everywhere in the house without actually having to go there. Cameras are nice.
still better than VHS!
keep them coming Nick! It would be awesome if you did a part 2 explaining the plot of the short film itself. I don't want to make you watch it all but it would be interesting to see how much effort was exactly put into this project, and I think it would be the only true way to appreciate it in all it's glory
"His head might not be attached." Damn it, Night Mind! I was scared enough and then you had to say that!
I came back to finish the video (too exhausted to stay up last night lol) and I gotta say the production quality for these vids is insane like it could legit be on television so it blows most of UA-cam out of the water.
dammit nick, just when I thought I couldn't love you more you slip in a 7 proxies joke, bless you
Dang, this is the first Night Mind video I'm genuinely struggling to get through. Just something about the atmosphere, the dark cameras, it fills me with dread (excepting the possessed guy falling down the stairs, I laughed for like 5 min).
Even now I'm wasting time with the video paused just because I'm nervous. You know it's a well crafted horror experience if even the recap video makes you nervous
When the dude threw himself off the stairs I just broke out into laugher.

Nick you are amazing. I'm so happy to have come a across your channel when I did I never leave disappointed! Keep up the great work, I look forward to these videos all the time! I would of course be so stoked to see you try your hand at an arg or a video project. Heck I would be happy to see you make a commercial let alone a full length film!
Just took my sleeping pills, let's see if I can fight it.
this is the most scariest short films I ever watched even the edited version you did is amazing and makes don't want to go in a dark place ever again.
Fact: In the time it took you to watch this, you would watch the whole Hacker's View.
Anyway, looking forward to the next biweekly vid!
I actually did smile when I realized the final length of the video. Funny how that turned out.
Coincidence? I think NOT!

Fuckin jump scares need to STOP
Does the head bob count?
Black jump scares can be done well you just have to pace them well. It's not just the jump scare that should get you it should also be the build up.
It's the heroin addiction of horror; it's fast-acting, relatively cheap, and always works. And it should be fucking outlawed. Just like *actual* heroin addiction works for some very tiny subgroup of users, the overwhelming majority of users, and horror, are absolutely, irredeemably destroyed by its use.
Taticat NineLand To say it should be "outlawed" is just crazy. I'm not saying jump scares can't be cheap, but if done right then i see no problem with one. Cheap jump scares suck ass and so do false jump scares but to say they cant' be done well is dumb.
John doe
I'm pretty sure Taticat NineLand was exaggerating on the outlaw of a cinematic technique by comparing it to a drug that has a higher rate of harm than aid.
You are simply the best in this category of YT videos. You have personality, are intuitive and purely brilliant.
The problem with the other ones are is that either they have absolutely no personality- make videos just to make them and their fans actually put the pieces together better in the comments than they do or they talk aimlessly too fuckin much OR they try way too hard and just come across as a ass hats
It just kills me when, in the surveillance videos, there are four people talking in English, all with heavy French accents. That immediately destroys the immersion factor for me. Why would they not be talking in French, especially when they're panicking? Clearly they don't *know* they're performing for a wider non-francophone audience, right? Right?!
Unless they're all in English class together and they're practicing. Yeah, that must be it. Never mind, my entire argument is invalid. They're just really dedicated when they keep practicing after they find their special friend's corpse at the bottom of the stairs.
🤣
Tbf just because they have heavy accents doesn't necessarily mean they're native speakers
They're Swiss French dude, of course they're gonna have accents. That's not their fault. Let's hear you speak French without an accent.
Another comment noticed that they were speaking French but a burst of static occured, then they switched to English
