Based on the fact that we see a mushroom cloud at 1:48 and we are told to “Keep drinking water in our Fallout room”, I can only assume that major water sources became infected with radiation. The radiated water was then given to sick people being marketed as “Holy Water”, giving them some kind of temporary reprieve, making them think they were cured. This caused a huge number of people to die at once, and caused a massive radiation spread. Either way, excellent work! This is a wonderful analog short, and I am deeply looking forward to more.
I don't know if this is the right interpretation (or even if there is one), but apparently, because of the way radiation poisoning works, the symptoms suddenly go away almost entirely when you're just past the point when there is no cure
local 58: the moon is alive gemini home entirteintment: the hugry eye is alive analog archives: the trees are alive Eventide Media Center: the bombs are alive Flickering Candle: the water is alive
Ah, so we have a eldritch moon demon from Local58, sky demons from Analog Archives, Neptune alien demons from Gemini Home Entertainment, Rocket Records had a sun demon, and now we have water demons
Listen it's because that thing isn't god not because of "oh everyone and everything is beautiful and amazing in different ways" yeah no. It's because in analog horror. there is no god in analog horror. Just take a look at film theorys video on the Mandela catalogue and stuff like the Mandela catalogue. You'll know soon enough
This is really neat! To nit-pick, the on-screen text (the warning message, etc) during the woods footage didn't really look like it was from 1983, which kind of distracted and took me out of the moment. Looking forward to the next video!
Thank you! The main purpose of these first videos is editing practice, so things like the font style will probably still be a drawback on the next one, but feedback like this is always welcome! It helps me to improve the quality in the future :)
It actually feels better with the clear text, people ruin analog horror by adding a bunch of static and stupid looking effects, it's a thousand times better when I can actually see the fucking screen
@@Maur5ce I am not commenting on the clearness of the text, I prefer legiblity, also. I just mean the font itself looks much too modern - there were plenty of perfectly-readable fonts that existed in the 1980s and suitable for something that is set in the 80s. The font in today's release was way better.
But you need water to stay alive. you need water to stay alive. you need water to stay alive. you need water to stay alive. you need water to stay alive.
Absolutely fucking horrifying to know you only have a very small limited amount of water, so you're just sitting in the dark and waiting to die. Bone-chilling
I've become quite interested in these Analog Horrors, I don't suppose you could you tell me how you make them? I understand the story structure but I'd like to know how to put the videos together, where to get the clips from etc. I hope that's okay
To be honest, I don't think I know much about making Analog Horror yet, so we're on this journey together :D But most importantly, if you want to make something, just experiment a little. For the clips just try to find anything you like online, or take a camera and film your own content. With good editing you can make the most normal footage creepy! Don't worry if your first try doesn't turn out to be exactly like other stuff you've seen. It can be its own thing.
I actually enjoyed this. This could be a proper series. If something has come out of the water at the end that would have made it. If your looking for a narrator then please let me know ☺️
I'm probably reading way too deep into this, but I find it interesting that the Miracle Spring Water was connected to such a disastrous event, fictional or not. It seriously gives me like... Old Testament God vibes. They choose to cheapen His grace by selling fake "miracle water", so He cursed the water as punishment. That some a that Old Testament Wrath of God type shit. Bravo, my dude.
hmm. This just didn't have the best impact. Besides the water aspect, the two segments (infomercials and lake scene) didn't feel well connected. Maybe at least at the end you could've had a shot inside an actual bunker or such with emergency sirens going , jolting us into whatever horror the water unleashes.
