Now that I think about it, what was the pasta that started the whole haunted video game BS

Was it Sonic.exe or was it BEN DROWNED?

cursed object stuff generally doesn't get me, most horror doesn't, life is scary enough. It's the existential shit that tends to really get me, but horror in general doesn't hit that angle very well most of the time, so most of the time what I like tends to be high concept or have sort of a cryptic style which the genre is good for.

Like The Thing. Almost perfect horror movie.

but that kind of thing is rare.

skinwalker gets kind of there

You thinking HP lovecraft?

I do really love HP

that's why I like the horrorbabble channel

lot of that kind of thing there

I like the texts that don't really have a conclusive ending and the OP is like "what the fuck was that"

i've seen some stuff that fits that category, and if I read it I probably wouldn't believe any of it

makes it a bit easier to suspend disbelief for that moment

a lot of it is atmosphere though

it doesn't really "scare" me persay, more so entertains and interests me

music can be really important

honestly I prefer vids with minimal to no music because the music can sometimes be a bad contrast depending on the track

if it's ambient music from quake, that's fucking great

lol

with channels like keque, for instance

I think music is a lot of it

or sound design, in general

I can overlook the music sometimes but sometimes the sound mixing is too much

in a lot of channels, yeah

or when they do stupid things with their voices

like always sounding like they're asking a question

bad audio can ruin everything

or when they accidentally fuck up the recording but don't edit it lmfao

so you get the entire sentence repeated

but in a different tone of voice

makes me fucking double take and think I had a stroke

listening to this atm

@SheepTeeth The exploring series is really good, I usually listen to the SCP stuff

I'm really not into scp stuff

Oof

Then just go with HP Lovecraft story readings I guess

Eh

YES ANOTHER ONE OF MY STORIES WAS FEATURED

The only spooky story I have is that I somehow knew I was going to get stung by a wasp before it happened, twice
