One of the sci-fi concepts that I love most, an infectious disease that travels through words, written language, music, tunes or any combination thereof.
Every time there’s a really good short people always say it needs to be full length, but it would drag out too long and the very people who suggest it usually have short attention spans
@@TayWoode its not just attention spans, usually shorts are so good because they don't have time to explain everything. They can have a thousand loose ends that aren't questioned because its a short. Once its a full length movie, they start running into issues and plot holes that end up ruining it.

except its NOT horror! alter has some of the best short films on youtube. high production values, good acting and writing. but what is it with your obsession of calling every film a horror film? this was an excellent film. (didn't like the ending though.) but its NOT a horror film. this is more in line with fantasy and science fiction. only about 20% of alter's shorts that i've seen actually qualifies as horror. but you still label them as such. they're still good films. so why misrepresent them as something they're not? just the name ALTER carries enough weight to get people to watch. so why bait them? just label them correctly and people will STILL watch!

All the actors here are EXQUISITE. The script is a masterpiece. The directing is magical. The cinematography and editing and sound editing are “mind-blowing”.
Everyone in the bar displayed amazing acting. Movie quality stuff. The rest were ok but those three absolutely killed it. The writing and dialogue were great and believable. Keep giving us this please.
An old Twighlight Zone (Outer Limits?) episode, where a "secret" is passed from person to person - and everybody who hears the secret goes completely mad. I think that was the inspiration for this short.
@@MrStimpage maybe you are seeing many colours no one has ever seen before but the brain lacks the power to process it so it alters reality as a mechanism of self-preservation. Real talk now, there is one colour you have never seen unaltered ever before and quite possibly never will but everyone you meet has, if they were paying attention.
@@michaelwilliams6431 sit down with someone that is blind and genuinely ask them the question. You'll never know if you never ask. Be forewarned though, your question will not get a pleasant response if there is a lack of genuine intent behind it. Get to know the person without the limitations of your own personal curiosity aswell. There is a wealth of knowledge contained in the perspectives of ever human on this earth, tap into that and share your own at the same time, humanity as a whole will benefit from it.
Imagine how much cooler it would have been if the bartender plugged his ears like he told him to. and then he tells the other guy his idea and he lives. Then the guy that just heard the idea laughs and says something like "See I told you he was a liar" but the guy keeps telling him something like "No!! No your immune!!" and the guy who was just heard the idea tells the bartender and he's head explodes!
Once he found out... he couldn't handle the responsibility. Don't ask questions that you have no business knowing. Now 'knowledge as power' as a whole new meaning.
O.I. = "Original Idea" This story works well because the short format doesn't require it to have more than its very basic anatomy. The guy at the bar, the bartender, the businessman who walks in, and Chekhov's gun up there behind the bar. If this were much longer than it is, it would have to start answering various questions that would dilute its power. The punch line is also hilarious, where the story ends exactly how the man at the bar feared it would, but with a small wrinkle that keeps him in a state of mystery and uncertainty.
Thank you, that's what it was called. I knew that this type of foreshadowing was some kind of gun. I had to laugh hard, when he shot himself because it was so strongly hinted at. Also the guy is not completely where he started. He knows there are immune people now.
@@XthegreatwhyX it’s ok, very brutal, one of those films you only watch once, just when you said you’d rather know and die reminded me of that, the French version is better than the English speaking version
To me it's just saying how originality is dead and how close minded humanity is. It takes a very special few to grasp Originality and when they do they create masterpieces in which none can compare.
Every now and then someone says or does something original or we wouldn’t be where humanity is today,,, it’s progress. Inventors fuel progress. Tesla, Edison, Musk.
Reminds me of the Stephen King story where there's this guy who works as an assassin and kills his victims by writing them a letter with very specific shapes and letters that are unlike anything we, as humans, have ever seen before. Really good short story. I read it once, about 22 years ago, and it still sticks in my mind.
Well, that was quick lol. The story is 'Everything's Eventual' from the collection of short stories of the same name. Not sure why it stuck with me. The short story 'N.' is equally as vivid in my mind years and years after reading it.
Yeah.. good story. I've got all of King's books (and most movies) and, though it wasn't my favourite, Everything's Eventual is a good short story collection. Out of his collections of shorts, Nightmares and Dreamscapes is definitely my favourite
just aceept the format and move on.. hate stupid people saying things like "want to watch a full movie", "it would be a good book to adapt into a movie" etc., it works BECAUSE OF THE FREAKIN FORMAT!!!

Clever!
@@totaly_newaccount4801 an scp is anything anomalous in nature, mimetic and cognitive hazards are proof of this, when you brain takes up and acnoleges the idea it causes their head to expload, this cannot be explained by sience so it is an SCP
We'll definitely agree that this film will require some ALTERing of the definition of horror, however, we thought there was enough "shocks" (since horror is shocks, fear, and disgust) involved AND that it's a great film, that we'll be able to showcase it on our channel.
@@WatchALTER undoubtedly it's a great film... and your choices of horrors are really different and that's why we will be able to see more different horrors from you... and we are really enjoying it...
Imagine the guy told his idea to the one guy that wasn’t believing him and the bartender actually covered his ears so after finding out the guy was immune he could have retold it in a different way to the bartender so they would have survived bc it is already adding a different idea on top of the original..
They would have to add an existing idea to the completely original one? If they just reworded it it would still be a completely original one leading to his death.
Actually... This "second sort" idea is still imperceptible for other people. According to Barry's theory, people can stand an idea only if they already know what is it based on. If they would be told that original_idea2.0, the still wouldn't know the original_idea1.0 and thus they'll die.
Dude. This was, if not THE best UA-cam video ive ever seen. The idea and concept, the acting, the sets, the writing. Wow. I legit forgot I was watching a video, it felt like an hour but in the best way possible. Thank you for making amazing content!
remember hitler's secret joke? "my dog's got no nose." "how does he smell?" can you finish the joke? if not, you're head will explode. or maybe mine will. oh, mine just did.
This whole things feels like an SCP movie done real but with a more dark humor style, i really belive his original idea is something that can change the whole meaning of existence or humanity so that's why everyone that listens to it can't handle a very big secret like that and die
@@stephanieevans4040 Security, Contain, Protect, if you don't know about the SCP Foundation i really recommend it is like a big compilation of stories like if they are hazards or objects that are dangerous
Nah man they suck it out of your head, dilute it, and sell the watered down garbage to the masses. That way, people don't get too demanding for high quality content, and they still make money.
Omg these conversations are so fucking stupid. Stupidity is what really hurts, not creativity or original ideas. It's just a joke about blowing minds FFS.
@Caleb Leamond r/George Floyd was a violent drug dealer who held a gun to a pregnant woman's belly and deserved much worse. The officers who slayed him should be given medals for public service
the more it gets passed on, the more the story goes, the more mind blowing it is and dangerous? or the more it spreads, the more chance people being immune, the longer it goes without being a new original idea, the less dangerous?
@@renegadeyoshi341 I don't know the details of the rest. It wasn't laid out in the story. Much like a lot of these short horrors, it leaves you asking "why?" a lot.
That makes no sense. It wouldn’t be an original idea because it’s a spin on horror stories. Stories aren’t new, horror isn’t new. I love your conviction though. You, without a shadow of a doubt, made a definite statement as though it’s a fact.
Remember how he was looking for his pen in the beginning? We all know about those pens they have in businesses that are chained to desks. What if instead of a desk, the chain ended in a clip? Then nobody would ever los-
I understand that the second guy had to off himself to end the short film BUT the first guy is so right, there are definitely ways to make this a movie or even (limited?) series
Everybody take notes. THIS IS HOW YOU MOVIE. Simply - perfect. I am blown away at the plot, acting, sound design, cinematography, dialogue - everything. Pristine. If you guys and QT made a movie…anyone who saw it would explode!
@@1984_pupo sorry - it is a goofy way of saying : “This is how you (make a) movie.” As if we could turn the noun “movie” into a verb. Make any sense? Sry for confusion.
This has been one of my favourites. It touches on a lot of things, family, trust, drinking, arrogance... so many SMALL little avenues that it was the entire cake for me. I’m back watching it for maybe the 3rd-4th time. It is very well filmed, scripted, and keeps the attention of an audience.
No shame on Crypt TV, they have some amazing storylines and one shots, but ALTER is my favorite because they manage to incorporate stories with creepy monsters, and psychological horror stories. Never been a fan of regular, gory, grotesque horror/monsters, but psychological horror will ALWAYS send chills up my spine.
In a way this short does present the irony on how maybe it's a good thing that there aren't that much wholly original ideas if at all because there's a lot less risk of peoples minds being literally mindblown.
One of the greatest short films I’ve ever seen, and I mean it. Not only is it one of my new favorites, but that musical score is up there for one of my favorite musical scores in _any_ media. Seriously, it’s perfect.
I bet that whoever came up with the idea for this short film probably started with "i need a completely original idea that no one has thought of before, so mind blowingly original that..... it literally .... blows ..... people's ..... MINDS..... Eureka!" Looks around nervously. "Now ..... is it safe to tell someone this idea??"
"You deserve to be disturbed" That last line though ..... That actually disturbs your mind thinking about what the actual idea was..... Well played !!! ..... Team
I like the way he says "and then we can spread the idea", implying that he cares more about the idea itself being spread than sparing people their lives. If the idea can be handled by only a handful of people, there's no use risking spreading the idea for the sake of getting it to those few people. People have compared this to an SCP situation, and it does sound like a sort of memetic infohazard, which will absolutely work if this guy continues to search for people immune to the idea. Almost like it's controlling him.
This is literally my favorite one and I love how the business guy joked that the guy across the bar would shoot himself with a shotgun then the O.I. made him go crazy with the death of the man and he shot himself.
Wow, talk about mind blowing - literally! I love the idea that human being just can't cope with an original idea because there are no original ideas anymore. This was really cool. I loved the quirky music as well.
This was such a great story. I have always wondered what our minds can and can't handle and because this story was so good I don't even mind not knowing what his idea was. Knowing it was just so simple and beautiful and would change everything for the better is OK with me. It was very intriguing, great story telling!
Of course, there is no such idea in reality. The human brain cant just "blow up" or otherwise destroy itself due to the firing of synapses or an irreconcilable paradox of internal logic.

@@totaly_newaccount4801 what?
@@totaly_newaccount4801 an scp is anything anomalous in nature, mimetic and cognitive hazards are proof of this, when you brain takes up and acnoleges the idea it causes their head to expload, this cannot be explained by sience so it is an SCP
amaze to see how ALTER changing the definition of horror day by day... inspiring...
We'll definitely agree that this film will require some ALTERing of the definition of horror, however, we thought there was enough "shocks" (since horror is shocks, fear, and disgust) involved AND that it's a great film, that we'll be able to showcase it on our channel.
@@WatchALTER undoubtedly it's a great film... and your choices of horrors are really different and that's why we will be able to see more different horrors from you... and we are really enjoying it...
@@MADYESTASTUDIOS Can I ask you something?
@@MADYESTASTUDIOS
Yeah. It's an original channel
I totally agree. ALTER is different from others 🙂
Imagine the guy told his idea to the one guy that wasn’t believing him and the bartender actually covered his ears so after finding out the guy was immune he could have retold it in a different way to the bartender so they would have survived bc it is already adding a different idea on top of the original..
you're so fucking smart im gonna shit myself
They would have to add an existing idea to the completely original one?
If they just reworded it it would still be a completely original one leading to his death.
Nice theory
Actually... This "second sort" idea is still imperceptible for other people. According to Barry's theory, people can stand an idea only if they already know what is it based on. If they would be told that original_idea2.0, the still wouldn't know the original_idea1.0 and thus they'll die.
To the bartender it would still be an original idea.
Dude. This was, if not THE best UA-cam video ive ever seen. The idea and concept, the acting, the sets, the writing. Wow. I legit forgot I was watching a video, it felt like an hour but in the best way possible. Thank you for making amazing content!
Reminds me of Monty Python's skit, "The Funniest Joke in the World," where a joke that was so funny, killed everyone that heard it
Wow! I thought the same thing as I was watching it. I was thinking that skit had to have been an inspiration for this.
remember hitler's secret joke? "my dog's got no nose." "how does he smell?" can you finish the joke? if not, you're head will explode. or maybe mine will. oh, mine just did.
There was also an episode to an 80s twilight zone when a guess knows a secret, and everyone who hears the secret goes crazy.
that's exactly what i posted in a few of these comments. stolen idea
"a few people saw a portion and were hospitalized for several weeks"
This whole things feels like an SCP movie done real but with a more dark humor style, i really belive his original idea is something that can change the whole meaning of existence or humanity so that's why everyone that listens to it can't handle a very big secret like that and die
What does SCP stand for?
@@stephanieevans4040 Security, Contain, Protect, if you don't know about the SCP Foundation i really recommend it is like a big compilation of stories like if they are hazards or objects that are dangerous
wow you dont say sherlock
Stop trying to relate everything to scp. Those stories are garbage kiddie stories
Typical cognito hazard. Low priority. Probably why he was let go, they want to study the spread a bit more.
This is why we have so many crappy movies these days. When someone comes up with an actual good movie idea their minds literally gets blown.
Nah man they suck it out of your head, dilute it, and sell the watered down garbage to the masses. That way, people don't get too demanding for high quality content, and they still make money.
Omg these conversations are so fucking stupid. Stupidity is what really hurts, not creativity or original ideas. It's just a joke about blowing minds FFS.
I think the original idea is that there can be an original idea.

@Caleb Leamond
r/George Floyd was a violent drug dealer who held a gun to a pregnant woman's belly and deserved much worse. The officers who slayed him should be given medals for public service
This is brilliant! I clicked in with zero expectations and my mind was blown. Not literally, thankfully.
Literally MIND BLOWN by this idea.
I see what you did there
@@salininguyendona3235what he do
🤯
For anyone who missed it, the original idea is this story. The original idea is a story about an original idea that kills people.
the more it gets passed on, the more the story goes, the more mind blowing it is and dangerous?
or the more it spreads, the more chance people being immune, the longer it goes without being a new original idea, the less dangerous?
@@renegadeyoshi341 I don't know the details of the rest. It wasn't laid out in the story. Much like a lot of these short horrors, it leaves you asking "why?" a lot.
@@renegadeyoshi341 it’s not real
That makes no sense. It wouldn’t be an original idea because it’s a spin on horror stories. Stories aren’t new, horror isn’t new. I love your conviction though. You, without a shadow of a doubt, made a definite statement as though it’s a fact.
@@thatguy6227 We all need certainty. The only reason anything is fact is because someone believed hard enough.
But, you just had to be... That Guy.
Remember how he was looking for his pen in the beginning? We all know about those pens they have in businesses that are chained to desks. What if instead of a desk, the chain ended in a clip? Then nobody would ever los-
Is it wrong that I laughed.. 👽Am I the only one.. I'm sorry.. This comment is irreparably mind blowing
@@binod7538 Can you plz explain it?
I can handle your pen Idea,sir! i'M IMMUNE!
🤯
Did your melon pop?? Are you okay?
I think about this film every so often and have to come back to it. It’s so simple, so beautiful.
Someone setting at a bar for 3 days doesnt say a word hey let's go mess with him. seems like a good idea lol
Lmao I love the way he explains how it happened .. "I end up with bits of brain in my beard." Hes so unphased by it now cuz its happened many times.
I understand that the second guy had to off himself to end the short film BUT the first guy is so right, there are definitely ways to make this a movie or even (limited?) series
Please don't.
My theory, he cleared his brain or made it more open for ideas because he drank so much alcohol, and that’s why he was able to hear the idea
I thought that too
Yeah that’s what I think too
Everybody take notes. THIS IS HOW YOU MOVIE. Simply - perfect. I am blown away at the plot, acting, sound design, cinematography, dialogue - everything. Pristine. If you guys and QT made a movie…anyone who saw it would explode!
That's the whole premise of this lol
Who's QT
Movie= Die ?
@@1984_pupo sorry - it is a goofy way of saying : “This is how you (make a) movie.” As if we could turn the noun “movie” into a verb. Make any sense? Sry for confusion.
Was your mind blown?
This could be a whole movie especially the beginning how he telling his story
The idea was, in fact, mind-blowing.
This has been one of my favourites.
It touches on a lot of things, family, trust, drinking, arrogance... so many SMALL little avenues that it was the entire cake for me. I’m back watching it for maybe the 3rd-4th time. It is very well filmed, scripted, and keeps the attention of an audience.
Hmm the umbrella corporation I think your company and my "organisation" would be a great team
The CIA created an emoji that secret agents use to tell eachother about this idea. The emoji? Well...
🤯
This would be funny to see a clip of him in social media "Hey guys it's ya boi here let me share this original idea with you, You are gonna luv it!"
I've watched this 10 times so far, it is a work of genius, brilliant stuff.
Im gonna guess this guys idea was so good that it was mindblowing....
Literally
No shame on Crypt TV, they have some amazing storylines and one shots, but ALTER is my favorite because they manage to incorporate stories with creepy monsters, and psychological horror stories. Never been a fan of regular, gory, grotesque horror/monsters, but psychological horror will ALWAYS send chills up my spine.
Crypt tv is based on monster.
Alter is based on evil.
They you probably would love most of Sam Sheppard's early work.
Thats... cool and all, but pretty unrelated to the video you commented it on as its not horror, psychological or otherwise
@@themug406it doesn’t have to be related. It’s a free comment section.
This was so utterly awesome that I cannot believe that it hasn't won some award or something. Greatly done!
In a way this short does present the irony on how maybe it's a good thing that there aren't that much wholly original ideas if at all because there's a lot less risk of peoples minds being literally mindblown.
This needs to be a movie or something i want more
but this is a movie! only it's short
What do you mean? :/
The old twilight zone show did a similar plot
ikr??
*Series
THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE!!!!
It is, a short one... but it is.
I mean, you just watched it so... yeah.
@@DrCringe_WM ok captain buzzkill
@@unusannus..8005 yea these people make me sick...we all know it's a short film we're just appreciating the art
This is absolutely amazing. Love the twists. This could be an actual show on TV if they didn’t end it the way they did!
Still could be...
Closer observation confirms the guy with the O.I actually lives. So a T.V show is a go...
It would make an awful tv show
182 people so far disagree with@@themug406
That idea is mind blowing, literally.
"OK, here's my idea, but don't say I didn't warn you."

@@svitloinpurgatory Your comment is definately stolen, and you gave yourself a thumbs up for it 😂
One of the greatest short films I’ve ever seen, and I mean it. Not only is it one of my new favorites, but that musical score is up there for one of my favorite musical scores in _any_ media. Seriously, it’s perfect.
Score by the great Max Aruj!
I love the choice in setting. Those strange little tiki bars you find on road trips always feel like an alternate dimension.
This story is the very definition of both "a blessing and a curse". Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Well done!
I bet that whoever came up with the idea for this short film probably started with "i need a completely original idea that no one has thought of before, so mind blowingly original that..... it literally .... blows ..... people's ..... MINDS..... Eureka!" Looks around nervously. "Now ..... is it safe to tell someone this idea??"
"You deserve to be disturbed"
That last line though ..... That actually disturbs your mind thinking about what the actual idea was.....
Well played !!! ..... Team
ripped off from monty python
This brings back memories of an 80's Twilight Zone episode. Only a guy found out what the secret of life was instead.
I guess it wasn't an original idea after all
@@localtortoise Different
@@localtortoise well...the one difference is that knowing the true meaning of life drove people insane.
@@Vampiro60181 Yeah. let me just refer back to 10:27
I like the way he says "and then we can spread the idea", implying that he cares more about the idea itself being spread than sparing people their lives. If the idea can be handled by only a handful of people, there's no use risking spreading the idea for the sake of getting it to those few people.
People have compared this to an SCP situation, and it does sound like a sort of memetic infohazard, which will absolutely work if this guy continues to search for people immune to the idea. Almost like it's controlling him.
Who else wants to hear this mind-blowing idea?🤯
🙋♀️
"🖐️😃"
What?! Do you want your head to blow up too?
Me three!
@@PineappledoesnotbelongonPizza2 I don't think I'd really mind....I've already lost 4 family members...2020 is not my year...
This is literally my favorite one and I love how the business guy joked that the guy across the bar would shoot himself with a shotgun then the O.I. made him go crazy with the death of the man and he shot himself.
Wow, talk about mind blowing - literally! I love the idea that human being just can't cope with an original idea because there are no original ideas anymore. This was really cool. I loved the quirky music as well.
Max Aruj did an amazing job with the music. Super talented!
I love the concept, the cinematography was really nice, the acting was passable, I really rate this one!
Wow. So simple yet so effective. Lovecraftian even. Truly an original idea if I've ever seen one. Amazing job!
*dies*
Has a very "The King in Yellow" feel to it.
Not original, dark side of Monty Pythons funniest joke. Where anyone who read the joke died,,,, laughing, but died.
The Cell or The Diary or etc etc etc
@@tonydabaloneyRadioheads Just video had the same idea too l
This was such a great story. I have always wondered what our minds can and can't handle and because this story was so good I don't even mind not knowing what his idea was. Knowing it was just so simple and beautiful and would change everything for the better is OK with me. It was very intriguing, great story telling!
Of course, there is no such idea in reality. The human brain cant just "blow up" or otherwise destroy itself due to the firing of synapses or an irreconcilable paradox of internal logic.
@@swine13 That's probably why this is an ALTER story and not a documentary. Sometimes it's more fun to watch stories with a suspension of disbelief.
sounds like something out of S.C.P., the main actor nailed it.
Cognitohazards be wack
Yah a fucking cognitohazard if I've ever seen one
I thought the same.
that was the best entertainment I had in years! Thank you for this masterpiece of acting, writing and editing!
They should make a movie out of this, I'd totally watch it over and over again!
I love stories about strangers in a bar telling other stories. This was awesome.
yep. the mindf.cking movies.
Predestination.
the next level is an Abstinent with a great story.
Now that was great! And we never get to hear the idea. Probably because ALTER doesn't want to be responsible for all those heads exploding.
This is filmed better than most movies
I literally can't understand why u guys don't have over 10 million subs🧐
You guys are just amazing🤩..i love watching your vedios♥️♥️🔥
@micha tuta hmm i guess uhh r right🙃
Yeah definitely they deserves more than 10 million subs❤️
