The Greatest Work of Analog Horror 

The 51st sate line was referring to the moon. This is after the moon landing when we put a flag on it. It is the first hint in the series that the moon is alive. It's not a place, the moon is a thing.

When you said "shiit your pants" I literally shat my pants like 3 times dude that was scary as hell no joke....

I always thought "the 51st state is not a place" was referring to the moon, given the context of the series. Idk im not american

Nah nah nah, what makes it scary is not the idea that it's a hoax; it's the idea that it was real but aired erroneously. It's scary because it reminds you that something like this could exist in our world and we'd never even know about it. I love it!

I feel proud to have made that intro for you, Seedbuddy.

I feel like the 51st State is the moon. It is prominent in other videos in the series.

I like Local 58, I just wish there was more to it. Will you be discussing other analog horror?

i agree this video is one of my favorite analog horror pieces, it's so eerie yet enjoyable to watch analog and cosmic horror are my favorite types of horror to exist, as well as ARGs, something about unknown horrorific monsters and situations is so fun to watch and explore (my favorite youtube horror series are GREYLOCK and Vita Carnis and my favorite ARG is The Sun Vanished)

Glad to hear someone speak against the 1 frame secret messages. I love analogue horror in both looks and sound, but I’ve always hated having to rewind and scrub frames or download a video and reverse it to hear secret messages. It just makes them hard to follow

I always KNEW the logo was your face!

I watched local 58 right near the end of the first season and honestly it's my favorite analog horror.

It refers to the state of death.

Oh boy my favorite

"so you mean to tell me that local police would execute their own citizens?" you got to be kidding...

I love local 58 bc it’s like welcome to nightvale but a lot shorter and visual as well as audible :3

Hey is there any particular reason you decided to include the original video as part of this one rather than just linking to it and asking anyonr unfamiliar with it to go and watch it?

I just assumed that they were referring to the afterlife as the 51st state

Local 58 doesn't have a discernible story? I beg to differ. I'll give you a hint in two words: *The Moon* Now go watch the channel again and this time pay attention. You may then realize how all those videos link together.

I pooped my pants after watching this and I'm not sure why

It’s a crime that this has to so few views.

"Okay." And then I shit myself. Truly frightening. 13:16

The video is very heavy on the american nationalism so its a long shot but at around 5:14 god save the queen starts playing in the background? Maybe this is some alternative timeline where the uk still possesed some power over the united states?

Babe wake up, seedbutter just posted

For the mask, I’d recommend recording the video first, then re-recording your voice! It’ll make things a bit more clear!

I miss the days when Local58 was a big deal and analog horror had potential. nowadays its ruined by shitty people (not naming names because angry fanboys that defend sexual abuse and merch based on it) and just unscary forced garbage that misses the point of the "analog" part.

"The 51st state is not a place." It's a state of mind. Or a load of shit, take your pick.
