8 years later, I realize this is very much a Stephen King style horror story. In King novels, almost without a fault the paranormal monsters is not the main villain - usually it doesn't manifest directly and cannot be physically beaten. But it usually acts through a secondary, human villain. And since the paranormal villain is so insurmountable, the main arc is about confronting the human bad guy.
I really appreciate the reveal of Dogboy being a sort of... anti- jumpscare. Like an explicit monster reveal with a scary face in any lesser horror series would just be it jumping out at you or a rapid cut to a freeze frame with a loud noise. But instead we look up at it, very casually, without any fanfare... and then we just sit there, looking at it, while it looks at us, with it shifting around in a very believable way... and only when it starts to growl slightly do we cut.

after years of restraining myself from watching this, after literally 1,933 days, i have finally finished this novel, and with it i can watch the series that sparked the desire to read it in the first place. this novel is seriously powerful stuff.
Am I the only one who's reminded of diabetes? The honey to push the blood sugar up; the (I assume) insulin to bring it down again - mechanical help to check the numbers that are so important? I get the cancer references, especially with the lion "losing his fur"; but the items in the shops are SO dominant and often shown. He also says he'll keep them just in case he needs them, which sounds like something he's used to. I honestly think that our host didn't see a lot of things in this one.
I don't think I've ever been so hype, I named my cat Proxy because I liked the idea of them from the lore created around Slenderman and Everymanhybrid scenes live in my head rent free
I'd kill to have these all reuploaded with a more normal voice. The weird whispering makes it sound like you are on the verge of finishing the introduction to a bad 50s horror movie.
The Slenderverse is very near and dear to me, even all these years after it's faded from public consciousness. In fact, I'm just now wrapping up my yearly rewatch of your own Explained series (yes, even TribeTwelve.) I've continued to love Slenderman and the mythos surrounding him for years, and even attempted my own series once upon a time (It was a one-man production, and it was terrible.) I've watched many, many video essays and video documentaries on the history of Slenderman, and the Slenderverse. I could narrate the story of Eric Knudsen, Something Awful, and Parsec Productions in my sleep. I could rattle off facts about Marble Hornets from memory. I consider myself a person who knows a LOT about Slenderman. But y'know what? I think I can make room for one more. And with Part 1 coming out the day before my birthday, I'll just consider it an early gift :)
Me, listening in while at work: These characters aren’t scary, they just have different flavors of the ‘tisms and are making it work. I love them. Me when 1:29:00 hits: oh. Oh no I’m in danger.
I really hope NM makes an update video covering the Angel Hare videos that have been made since this video was put out. This is reaaaally cool and I will absolutely watch Angel Hare, but I would also like to see NM's analysis of it continue!
I'm someone who really loves horror and any sort of darker media, but I'm too anxious/paranoid to actually engage in the media because it'll keep me up for days :') I stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and have been binging all of your videos. It feels like when I used to watch scary things like marble hornets with my friends in middle school, and I was less scared of it because there was someone with me. Your videos are so great for a scaredy cat like me, who wants to enjoy lots of different dark projects, but gets too scared of them for their own good. Please keep up the great work!
This series has kinda permanently fucked me up mentally. When I saw it back in 2018, I thought it was strange but the next day I woke up very early and thought “Wait, should it be daytime by now?” And then started 4 years of constant daily panic attacks every single morning. Fortunately I have alleviated all of my delusions, but still get racing heart and thoughts in the morning but can rationalise it all out. Thanks a lot, Aiden.
Now that was pure gold Analog Horror. Maybe your next Analog Horror video will be about “The Tryred Witness Archives” I most Disturbing Analog horror in the Analog horror Franchise.
It wasn't really touched on in the video or the content of Dog Nightmares, but I have a feeling that image of Emily facing the door during Christmas is going to have some thematic parallels to that ending 'paper scrap' drawing of Bailey facing the door from the last video we have for the series so far. They feel like they're framed so similarly that I have a hard time ignoring the parallels in my head.
