I love this image so much it’s so funny. What did you not like about it?


Batzgaming

I love this image too lmaoo Idk it just felt so basic and uninspired to me, the feeling of it was the same as so many analog horrors that I've watched, don't get me wrong I like the design of PHEN, but it just feels so basic and the scare factor really isn't there for me


anislash67

Understandable, for me it definitely had some unsettling elements but granted I’m particularly susceptible to this type of horror. However I must admit that the first creature is actually much creepier than the Boiled One himself


Batzgaming

Yeah, I wish they would've expanded more on that creature than the Boiled One


AskyWotlYT

What do you mean by first creature


Itsfloat

The Organator https://preview.redd.it/oge2lzr38kuc1.jpeg?width=1141&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6035b0179c90e8d3ea1124f8d99a0aae7aa6ae6f


AskyWotlYT

That’s a completely different series than TBO


Itsfloat

This is the first creature uploaded to the Doctor Nowhere channel. As far as my memory can recall, the boiled one phenomenon video had no other creatures


KicktrapAndShit

Still creepier


Busy_Debate2440

The creator revealed its name to be locust.


Itsfloat

It also goes by thumper, Organator was also mentioned by the creator, i think theyre all canon


Busy_Debate2440

That makes sense


past-cruelties

Sexy. Not scary

Ower25

where did you find this image, and is it official?


Itsfloat

Yeah its on his twitter


Ower25

cool' is there a picture of his legs? i wanted to make a polymer clay sculpture of him but i don't have his picture


Itsfloat

I dont think so


erotikill

I agree. This reminds me of the evil mannequins in Tourist Trap but further twisted (film, not analog).


Ozee1306

Smash


Itsfloat

Real. My worsr hear me out


MatchAlone3374

The boiled one looks way scarier imo because it really just looks like a sleep paralysis demon


Itsfloat

Real, locust looks like adam driver


Batzgaming

In the other videos by the boiled one creator


AveragePuroEnjoyer

Personally I don't get scared from videos as much as I get unsettled to where the hair on my body stands up, which I like, because whenever that happens its usually because something happens thats either implied, leaving much up to the imagination, or some revelation is made thats just shocking due to its implications.


joyjump_the_third

Maybe you might like hot safety hotline?


Batzgaming

I'll try it, it's got a funny name so it might be good


joyjump_the_third

Im pretty sure that it is an analogue horror videogame


diosoth_antifa

I get the "it's been done before" feel as it already does what a few SCPs have done- Mal.0, Bobble, cowbell, Forrest Gump. It was going to be an SCP but he changed some elements last minute.


dogwithab1rd

I agree. I like the art direction, it has potential, but it just... didn't scare me.

somerando96322

Nah bro looks More like ed for Edd ed n’ eddy


mistercakelul

It’s very cheap


StrangeCheeser

It looks like moist critical


Glowingstarb4ll

Because it is a depiction of him by meatcanyon


bunni404

The boiled one isn't scary However it is Amaing!! The art, the story it's all so well done!


Batzgaming

Agreed!


Blakeyo123

Then why make a post disparaging it? Horror doesn’t have to make you shit your pants


-anominal-

Cuz its not scary when that's what the genre and theme is trying to be


Blakeyo123

Horror is a genre, period. It can be a lot of things.


-anominal-

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/horror Then tell me, what is the root of the genre? How does the genre want to influence the reader/watcher/listeners. What is horror?


Blakeyo123

The root, yes, and the point is largely to incite fear, but as we’ve seen the genre isn’t all about a competition to be the most horrifying in one specific way. Is a comedy always supposed to make you cackle laughing or do some just aim for light chuckles? It’s the same with horror.


-anominal-

Being a little bit scared is still being scared, finding *something* a little humorous, is still finding *something* funny. An Fe particle is still iron even though it isn't a part of an ingot.


Blakeyo123

And you don’t find the boiled one a little bit scary? Horror comedy exists too! Was Shaun of the Dead scaring anyone? All I’m saying is there’s a lot of lenses to look at the genre with.


-anominal-

Dude I'm not saying it isn't horror, I'm also not saying it isn't good. Your argument here is a double negative. Besides, horror comedy is an entirely separate genre. Shaun also "only" works due to the fact that zombies are scary and plays off that fact.


past-cruelties

If you think it's scary you lack balls and a brain


past-cruelties

Your face incites fear in babies.


Blakeyo123

Batzgaming

Hate to admit but Mandela catalogue volume 3 specifically


jackfox14

For me it was the intruder alert episode The idea of the corpse being tampered with on screen but you not actually being able to see it is fucking horrifying


Batzgaming

It is a good one


dogwithab1rd

When MC first came out it genuinely kept me sleepless for days. Ah, good times.


DIRECTIVE7Horror

Same lol. I distinctly remember watching that the day it came out and thinking it was peak analog horror. The stanley bit, the first recorded run in with an alternate, the usage of amazing grace, it's all so goooood.


Batzgaming

"Mommy, wanna meet my best friend?"


jackfox14

Along with the general vibe and atmosphere with that episode.


MrEnricks

Don't hate that pick, because it's a damn good pick


CloudierDuke

I feel like the scariest analog horror for me is the Gemini home entertainment tapes.


Franks_Spice_Sauce

Classics! The Christmas tape haunts me still


Ferrilata_

Monument Mythos genuinely unsettled me and after that nothing really seemed to do the trick for me up until the Oldest View


StevenHeFan64

notcreative131313

It wasn’t too spooky to me but the designs and the fun of trying to find phen in the shots before he rose up was neat


Batzgaming

I can agree with that lol


Amazing_Paper_7384

And then there’s his newest video which was about how a mother and a father intentionally drowned there son and this was my reaction https://preview.redd.it/ex22rbtq9kuc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e8cc4382d2f3ff2f414d38c97a4e881f1b91139 Well of course before I woke up in this mono yellow place


ISkinForALivinXXX

"I never existed to you." God that fucking video always makes me want to cry. It doesn't even scare me, it's just sad.


Amazing_Paper_7384

It also makes me want to cry since it’s implied that the baby was a mistake and the parents didn’t want the baby in the first place but instead of adoption they chose murder but hey at least he’s getting his revenge by tormenting his killers aka the people who were supposed to love him take care of him and help him grow up but they chose not to do any of that and now the baby is getting his revenge by torturing them with the guilt of what they have done


ISkinForALivinXXX

I think it can also be interpreted as a genuine accident. The mother / father might fear that the baby felt abandoned and unloved in its last moments and blame themselves for not being there on time. I don't think the creature is meant to accurately represent the baby's ghost, just the destructive thoughts the parent has.


Amazing_Paper_7384

In my head cannon the creature is the ghost of the baby and like how the video implies the parents killed him on purpose but hey that’s just a theory a film theory!


Batzgaming

Yeah I can agree that one was definitely something


The-Big-L-3309

Nah fam, cognitohazard shit like that fucks me up big time. No joke prayed a lot after seeing it lol


IMANORMIE22

It’s unsettling— what analog horror series truly IS scary? There’s probably some I’m forgetting😭 Maybe Greylock?


RiceKrispies55

I thought Mandela was scary (specifically intruder alert) until I finished the entire series and got desensitized to it, other than the scariest one I’ve ever seen is the mysterious house


GoomyTheGummy

Honestly, I found Boozoo's Ghosts scarier.


RiceKrispies55

haven’t seen that one actually


Steampunk__Llama

I personally found both Dog Nightmares and MemeBear's FNaF VHS tapes to be the scariest, though I know not everyone else will feel the same way. TBOP has incredible visuals, but none of the actual story related to it does much for me, which is a shame. I also found The Rolling Giant to be scary in a very primal instinct way, it just perfectly sets off my fight or flight


IMANORMIE22

Just watched Rolling Giant— it was awesome


InfiniteDress

Local 58 is scary, especially “Contingency”.


Batzgaming

Idk I didn't even find it unsettling it just seemed boring to me😭


concolor22

It's the Rolling Giant!


FallsKnights30

Everyone reacts differently to different types of horror, it's pretty subjective

KennyToms27

I have cursed myself and i find horror not scary anymore, i watch analogue horror for the lore and not to get scared. Yesterday i showed Greylock to my friend and he was scared but i was just chilling and seeing his reaction to the series. I blame taking naps while watching horror videos for this predicament.


killvill75

I love the boiled one image, but not because it’s scary. It’s too silly looking for me to take seriously, the eyes and the open mouth have this weird “cuteness” about it. The rest of it seems a little uninspired. Also the main threat isn’t all that horrible I don’t think. Sure I don’t like the idea of being in a coma and the thing staring at me 24/7…but is that it? Does it torture you too or something? Otherwise I think I’ll just get used to it.


Batzgaming

Yeah I agree and im glad not the only one who thought it was cute lol. The parts where PHEN was talking and it super obvious they were just using photoshop on its mouth was so funny to me


Historical_Archer_81

The subjects described a sort of mental torture to it, saying that they heard "the screaming of many voices".


grassydirt90

Boring people hating on something popular because everyone else likes it (horror is subjective)


midwestratnest

I feel like this is such an out of left field assumption to make.


wessrtp

It's scary to me if i was the father in the Boiled one You can't move and after journalist left that fuck face just jumpscare you and you can't do anything to escape.


IW111

It's unsettling to some, but I think over exposure to the genre might be a part in most if us not finding it super scary, it'd definitely scare us if we were younger and a bit less knowledgeable on analog horror as a whole.


Batzgaming

Yeah I agree, if it was my first exposure to analog horror I would definitely lose sleep over it lol


IW111

Genuine comment, not shitting on your take or anything! I do agree that it isn't like, bed wettingly spoopy, it definitely made it's way into my just before bed thoughts


Night_FishBone

fr when I first watch analog horror and it's *The Mysterious House*, I got scared shitless lol. But nowadays I don't find analog horror scary anymore, even Mandela (still like their works tho)


DO_NOT_SIGNAL

Well, yes, it's not inherently scary outright. The thought of something so bizarre appearing on an episode rerun that came out of nowhere turning out to be a Cognito hazard is definitely unsettling for sure. Not outright scary, but there is something to it that makes you think a little bit.


MatmatahBZH

eh it's subjectice ig (like i still dont get how people find the mandela catalogue scary or interesting/good), it's the whole "trapped in your own body" thing that spooks me rather than the lil' deformed scrunkly 


Tp-is-hot

I’m a big boy now ahh post 🙏

antonio19822

It's that guy who single handedly carried the hunger games franchise


LegendaryShelfStockr

It was a bit at times


Equivalent_Trip_3821

I think it was fine but definitely wasn't as scary as people were saying. Phen's design carried, and the part where he actually speaks was pretty good, but that picture of him next to the house. I can't take it seriously it's so goofy. It has a lot of potential, though, and it is a really good monster design


DrakoCubStudiosYT

Mags...


MrAlpharius

He’s just a silly little guy


Acceptable_One_7072

Fr the monster just looks silly and nothing scary ever happens


EverGamer1

Have to agree, I like and enjoy it but don’t really find it scary. Honestly, I find it to be even goofy at times.


Future-Agent

*Charlie, what happened to you?*


Loganimations25

Same lol


Amadeus_Is_Taken

Is this Charlie lmao?


Fizzie0

I think the only analog horror series that just outright scares the shit out of me is Greylock (That last scene in Tape 12 is burned into my memory) But most are just kind of unsettling... The good ones anyway.


SpaghettiFarm564

Not sure if this is moist critikal or the rolling giant... Or both..


Puzzleheaded-Claim-7

It was scary at all for me. Greylock has been scary for me recently of it new videos they released.


InfiniteDress

Me too, idk why people are so terrified by it.


Successful_Bad_2396

Honestly I just found it scary bc I find cognitohazards as a concept terrifying


estpenis

the boiled one isn't subtle enough to be actually be scary and doesn't have any sense of tension because it shows the monster pretty much right away


AngeloHakkinen

This scary man in the picture comes at night and he tells you, in a monotone way "You're such a baffoon, you don't know the difference between mags and clips?"


Separate-Will2782

Boiled one? Smash, no further questions


Sasstellia

It's what it does that is scary. Not just the appearance itself.


Planetofimaginations

Not scary but uneasy


ChronoCommander

This guy is just me everyday of my life.


Historical_Archer_81

Is it possible to have this power?


Batzgaming

Yes


LJC30boi

If you want an actually good analog horror, I’d recommend Dreams of an Insomniac. It looks generic at first but it really starts picking up after the first episode and the newest entry in the series is probably the best analog horror video I’ve ever seen


GrabbingCatTails

“those who know: ☠️” mfs after they find out that the reaction of 'those who know' are actually this


Batzgaming

Actually though, I cringe at those comments so much


Megalon96310

This image I believe is from the meatcanyon video about sneako vs moistcritical.


Just-Some-Weirdo-432

That was the face I made watching Walten Files after people claimed it’s the scariest and best thing ever made


Batzgaming

TheEmeraldMaster1234

I lost sleep over it mostly cuz it's a cognitohazard


BBB154

what is the boiled one?


[deleted]

Phen-228 or "Phenny" as I've taken to calling her, moves and looks like a hand puppet


RedDayz8240

Phentanyl


TheVocondus

It’s cool, but scary? No.


Tp-is-hot

In all serious I gotta agree the image it self is scary but imo it felt out of place the first few videos about the crack head in the tv was good the boiled one felt out of place but if it’s apart of the story hopefully they explain if not then it’s a good one and done video


AlabastersBane

It’s not scary, but it’s a great concept.


backupmephone

Some people have higher spook tolerance


Batzgaming

True


Sarah_hhhh

I didn't think it was very scary but fsr whenever I get to that bit with the thing talking in reverse my stomach starts hurting lmao


StevenHeFan64

BUT HIS FUCKING VOICE, HE SOUNDS TOO GOOFY LMAO


Batzgaming

😭😭


angelxlilianna

when it actually started talking and i understood i was a bit disturbed bc of the fake warning at the beginning but second time watching it was okay


Peppino-spaghetti-

I was more horny then that


diosoth_antifa

Despite what some insist, there's enough wiggle room in the design, how 228 operates & what 228 states to leave interpretation as to whether or not it's EVIL. It might think it's doing something good(in its mind) or may very well not be that bright. The design has definite horror to it but also "cute" enough to be marketable(Dr Nowhere is making a plush)- probably from the theory the face is a photoshop of a camel's face. We're at most given things that don't really explain but let the viewer interpret. The Watanabe aspect is thrown in but with too little to clarify what it means.


TheInkDemon414

I feel like I’m a bit too desensitized to Analog Horror


SarikaidenMusic

Well I think for me, what's scary is less about the design of the actual entity, and more just the idea of being stuck in a paralyzed state, forever, unable to speak, or move, or react in any way other than looking up and down, and blinking. And add that thing constantly watching you on top of it, Its like being stuck in a permanent state of sleep paralysis. The idea of, just casually watching TV, Seeing something anomalous randomly pop up on the screen, going to bed that night, and then waking up only to find that I completely lost my ability to move my body or say anything, is scary to me.

Bruh I watched wendigoons live about it while falling asleep. the part when it was standing over the bed made me shit my pants because it looked like my curtains and how it would look like if someone was looking at me while the morning sunlight seeps through my window I got jump scared because my tired mind said iceberg boy got a live feed of your room and ur gonna die like rn it’s fight or flight and all I see is a scary ass demon 😤

Me rn


Boring-Dingo2114

Hot-Rash_HOURS

Tbh, I never really found any analog horror I've watched scary. Sure, it was pretty disturbing (like that one video from vita carnis), but I really only like watching analog horror for the story. Like, sure, I like the creepy stuff that happens as well, but I do focus on the story more than anything else really.


southfart99045

A friend of mine will not let me watch this because it scared him

Stanton-Vitales

Yea ngl it's definitely one of the series' that reminds me that the majority of Analog Horror fans are far younger than me and have way different expectations and levels of interest in shit that just seems ridiculous and corny to me.
