Winter of 83 || Snow Themed Analog Horror 

The audio that plays after the girl dies is actually just her words from earlier in the recording being cut and spliced to form new sentences

Snow is just sand but made out of water if you think about it

20:50 if my inflation calculator is correct, that would be $236,577.56 in today’s currency. No wonder the small town balked at the suggestion.

Me bunkered down with my wood furnace: heh snow monsters

Kinda gives me resident evil vibe, with the first part and start at a manor. Then the man-made ish type of monster/s attacking a city with abnormal abilities.

So that's what happened to linkara when he was thrown out into the cold

Snow is just snow if you think about it

I love cooking while "[analog horror series] explained" videos are playing. This definitely was one of the best!! Thanks for highlighting some moments and replaying them, it's so helpful!!

I've never heard a scary snow story that wasn't freaking fire, but this one might be my favorite. The snow demon really did SERVED that spook

it is a parody of analog horror. not only is it about frosty the snow man, but the feeling is very much "cabin in the woods" too

Hans...Get ze da flammenwerfer!

My sister was born in 1983 on December 3, during the coldest winter, and one of our largest snowstorms at the time. So I get some giggles that this series not only is titled with my sisters birth year, but takes place in the state my Mom was born in, and one of her Brothers(my Uncle) still lives in Minnesota, a large portion of my Mom's extended famly still live in Minnesota. So the huge amount of snow wouldn't be surprising. It gets deep.

As an analog horror creator myself, Winter of 83 is definitely among my top 10 list. Great video!

Snow is just frozen water if you think about it.

Thank god for RU-vid Recommended, man. Saw your video on Greylock, immediately subscribed, and I have to say, you deserve so many more subscribers. Keep up the good work!

Poor snowmen, they only wanted us to help them with this

9:10 I laughed out hard with the cheap bunker part. Felt it went from regular analog horror to nostalgic critic cheap skit ☠

im going to find out where you live just so that i can tell you in person that you did a good job

That little "nnnvery well" when they are asked to wait until their scheduled 3PM talk somehow sounds so...cute? Not sure if that's the right word, but, you know, it's kinda cute.

Yo can we talk about how amazing the sound design is? When Carl was in the basement and the dude yelled for help I actually jumped. It legit sounded like it was coming from the side.

This series is suprisingly good given the creator, good evidence that no matter how embarrassing your past work is, you can still put out something of quality if given the chance.

I just found this channel last night and i got to say you have already became one of my favorite channels and the second i heard the dying light theme i subscribed can't wait to see everything you make

Rule of horror trope Victims go to suspicious path and their meet their final moment before they die

The Lightbringer could have prevented all of this.

“I tried melting the ice with more fire and it just made more ice! Try and figure that out!”

You're goated for having all the music linked in the description and a great quality video great job

legend has it that the winter of ‘83 is what led to the bite of ‘87

There's a youtuber called vintage eight whose entire channel is this weird interconnected series of analogue horror things that share a setting, but are mostly independent aside from that. If you like ghosts, start with "children under the house", otherwise go for the Tangi virus, followed by the Oracle stuff.

I actually rather like this story. Feels like the people are reacting in relatively normal ways and aren't up to anything malicious. The scientists are studying a new organism, without any particular motives of exploitation. The mayor worst decisions were spending money on snow plows because the town needs them, and telling the police to investigate a crime.

I'm from the Midwest (North Dakota) and so Winter of '83 and Midwest Angelica are my favorite series. You covered it super well. I came from your video on Greylock and subscribed a long time ago, so it was sick to see you cover this. Good luck with the channel!

reminds me of when day breaks

I’m still very surprised that you don’t have WAY more subscribers, but honestly it’s only a matter of time. You put a lot of effort into your content and it’s very well produced imo (especially your intros, I love them!)

I came to the comments to see what others had to say, as one does. What I didn't realize when I subscribed was that you only had 3k subs. I don't pay attention to sub count so when I saw how many people commented on the fact that you were going to blow up, I was shocked. Your content already is top notch, I figured you were in the 100k+ range. Good for you man. I'm glad I don't judge the worth of channels on their sub counts. People miss out on amazing content like that. I look forward to your growth.

Please dont put flashing lights on the screen that is supposed to preemptively warn you about flashing lights

Walking my dogs and now I have something to listen to!

I've seen a bunch of other comments recomending future series but I haven't seen anyone recomend 'the Man in the Suit' yet so I'd just like to mention it. It's a really fun take on the making of the Godzilla films.

immediately impressed by the production quality, this feels like a much higher sub count channel! Good work and godspeed

1:45 the music for that mc pack is so nostalgic for me

Wait the Lightbringer made this analog horror? How qaint.

"Alien From Another World" was remade into "The Thing" which is based on the novella "Who Goes There?" Very similar setting and alien motive.

The monster very much reminds me of cyberman from doctor who who wants life forms too be like them

This is gonna be good

FUCKING LINKARA?!?!?!

Bro played the Minecraft festive mashup music at 1:26...

Please do Gemini Home Entertainment! 🤩

Every time I hear the national anthem I get scared because I don't want it earraping me like my chemical romance did

I havent watched beyond the intro yet but im really excited to see these analog horror videos from you. You have a great way of summarizing and explaining ❤ keep up the gr8 work

hey I'm sorry to disappoint you but you can literally buy a digital or physical copy of "Winter of 83" which contains "3 BRAND NEW SEGMENTS AND A DIRECTORS COMMENTARY" i apologize for the inconvenience

This style of vid is awesome great vid

this analog horror is quite silly and its fun i love it

I just found your channel through your recent vita carnis video. I decided to look at your other videos watching the series they're based off first. I chose this one went and watched it, never did I think I would end up on Linkara's channel it genuinely surprised me.

Glad you watched the part after the credits. Most other people who review this don't watch after the credits.

If I had to pick something for you to look into, I’d say the Arkham tapes. I believe it’s severely underrated and has 2 seasons

I know you probably said this for dramatic effect but I mean I thought that monument mythos had a pretty happy ending all things considered?

A fellow enjoyer of the fall and winter seasons, nice to see another cultured person.

I feel owning a flamethrower is not so bad after all

That was a fun one. Great job.

Winter of 83 would be a good book

37:20 Wait a sec.... is that 90's Kid lol

My friend had a dream after watching the movie….the snow was warm.

y'know, we've needed a cheesy analog horror for a while, nice to see Linkara deliver on that regard.

I recommend dreams of an insomniac

I made this post on one of the videos (Segment 12 to be precise) but figured to post it here mostly because it’s something of note I took notice of. (Mostly a bit of Rewatch Bonus/Fridge Brilliance) Signal hijackings as of late mentioned in segments 2 & 3, likely the creature testing it’s power, also the bad snowstorm (a few weeks back around when the creature first contacted the scientists) mentioned in Segment 3 while I’m not certain of how much influence the snowlem had, I am certain it did have some effect on it allowing it to discern how much it can do (and perhaps even send some of itself through it but I’m not 100% sure on that) and I mostly sure at some point it was able to send/transmit itself out of the lab where I like to say it had it’s first kill and allowed themself to figure that one out, which might’ve been Stephen (since he disappeared before the scientists died, and we see his car in Segment 1 before the snowlem escaped from the lab and also a body appeared afterwards) but ultimately nothing but guesswork towards that. And since as seen in the City Council Meetings we can say that the Snowlems had been keeping tabs on the channels so I can at the least say they kept tabs on the Weather Channels and once they had a prime optimal weather to spread itself and once the time arrived struck. Or in other words, if this was intended then it’s quite decent groundwork. Ultimately I liked the series, admittedly took awhile to actually look at it (whenever I watch these analog horror series it’s usually from a reaction looking away just digesting the audio, and I admit I can’t bring myself to look at segment 14 after the sirens go off) but I admit it was cool the visuals were nice (despite how it was relatively obvious it was on modern cameras) and the acting while as one put it felt more like an audio play than anything still was great (especially Denby’s actor) and admittedly while I made myself unfazed to the scares I can appreciate the effort put into them and the suspense building up to it. (With the fact I still haven’t seen Segment 14 in full saying the effect the Denby Snowman had) While perhaps in many aspects I can see why some have problems with it (the side bars in the city council meetings going a tad too tryhard to be scary/unnerving, the production being too clean for something supposed to be early 80s, and some of the early bits not being as captivating in hindsight) I not eactly someone who sweat the details. P.S. There’s a small thought to my mind that the things people didn’t like about the first few videos might’ve been intended on some level to be intentional, like to trick people (it was released on April 1st after all) into thinking it’s nothing impressive then WHAM! the latter half to come in and take things to a whole other level. (Though I might just be reading too much into that.)

For a spoof this is genuinely really well made, kinda wish linkara made more analog horror stuff. That being said love your content as always man! (Also please do a Gemini video, it would be amazing!)

legend of zelda winter music at 5:51 sent me lmaoooo

ahhh 1983...the year the world almost nuked itself into oblivion

The black ops 1 MP music is very funny to me idk why lol

Linkara? You mean THE LIGHTBRINGER!

Absolutely love the content! One minor accessibility/disability thing I noticed is that you have a bunch of multicolored flickering lights on the warning for flashing lights, which may not be the best place to have them, apologies if this is like not a necessary comment and someone else made it / you were already made aware of it! But I really do love your content

5:28 Hunt: Showdown wtf

Linkara becomes the snow bringer

One of my favorite analog horror series

One funny thing about this now creature, it isnt that scary now days beacouse of the whole global warming and the creature would be dead as hell or really strugling to survive.

If you like slender man and haven't already done it I'd recommend marble hornets its a bit old and there's alot of videos to look at but in the end in my opinion at least it's a really good horror story I didn't call it analog horror because I'm not sure if it fits that description but good luck man you're vids are great

Cover the mandela catalogue next plz

If you think about it.

Can you help me with this?

Let’s go

It’s the light bringer

Hey man can you Help me with us

Now i hate winter

1:04:50 ***Blood?*** Distant V1

man i could NOT take this one seriously to be honest, the dialogue is very cartoony and the concept is just meh, its an overdone concept at this point

You’ve ruined this series for me, I didn’t know it was made by linkara and now I can’t look at it the same way again

It's fine enough, but the antagonists feel a bit underdeveloped to go from microbial to god-complex that fast. It also doesn't explain the obvious sadism.

If only the lightbringer was there to save them 😢

they didnt know one woman who could voice vivian??? it's just a guy raising his pitch...

Crazy how this is literally just a shit version of ‘The Thing’

This is the worst voice acting I've heard in any analog horror ... No, in anything I've ever heard
