Gemini Home Entertainment | CreepCast

In this episode of Creepcast, the hosts dive into "Gemini Home Entertainment," an analog horror series that one host introduces to the other, who is unfamiliar with the genre. They contextualize its rise during the early 2020s, linking it to the pandemic's lockdowns, which fueled creative output and audience engagement. The series mimics vintage VHS tapes, using fake infomercials and safety videos to build unease. The hosts break down key episodes, from "World's Weirdest Animals," which introduces wood crawlers that mimic humans, to "Storm Safety Tips," where instructions become sinister. They highlight the series' cosmic horror elements, such as the Iris, a mutated planet, and the recurring characters Jack and Mary, whose fates are hinted at through cryptic AI-generated poems. The hosts admire the simplicity and effectiveness of the format, noting how it leverages nostalgia and uncanny visuals to unsettle viewers. They also discuss the genre's broader appeal, comparing it to works like "Local 58" and "Mandela Catalog," and praising creators who used minimal tools to craft compelling narratives. While the conversation includes humorous tangents, the core appreciation for the series' storytelling and its ability to evolve from straightforward scares to intricate lore remains central. Overall, the episode serves as both an introduction to and celebration of a standout piece of modern horror.

(upbeat music) - Welcome back to Creepcast. - Today we're having done a little creep TV in a while, so we're doing the creep TV on a series, Isaiah wanted to show me called Gemini Home Entertainment. - Right, there's a just Gemini. - Right. - There's a Gemini home. - A lot of people call it Gemini, but the full name is Gemini Home Entertainment. So, as a lot of you guys probably know, the back rooms, my boy Kane knocked it out of the park. I'm sure a bunch of you have seen it at this point. I've blown away by how successful it is, very happy for the dude. But watching his stuff, I would never give him that satisfaction again. I gave it to him one time, so why would I, you know, blood happy second time? - Well, I thought it was interesting. We watched, we both watched the movie, and it was a thing where we were like, no, we could do a creep TV, but then we were kind of tell you about some of the older, not that, not that I would say, back rooms is like analog horror, but it's like a found footage, kind of like the lost media vibe, and then we just made us talk about gray lock a little bit, and then inevitably we were talking about local 58, and then you were like, actually I think Gemini would be a fun thing to watch. Just do something that's like in the same spirit, we just got done watching this, so we're kind of in, we've been talking about it a lot, so I think there'd be a fun thing to chat about today. - Yeah, and also like Hunters fun to show this stuff, because he's like completely unfamiliar with all the stuff I grew up with, and I'm like intimately familiar. So one of the coolest things about creep cast is, 'cause I can show Hunters all these stories that I've known for years, and it's his, I get to see someone experience it for the first time, which is always funny. Seeing that the first upload was on, I mean, in 2020, it's crazy that just, these stuff was coming out the same time that like we were starting our channels too, and I just, it's just like revisiting a shooting star, where it's like, oh, I just totally missed that when it passed by the first time. - Yeah. - Which also I'm literate when it comes to all these like little online horror stuff, so I just, yeah. It's so new to me. - It's just 'cause like, your content was so, like, its own thing. You were following rabbit holes that I'd never heard of. But like, this area, this was my jam. Like, the first videos on my channel are me talking about series like this. I think the first upload, whenever I decided I wanted to take YouTube seriously, was a local 58 analysis. I remember editing that YouTube video, where I set in a dingy room, as I say, dingy, in a small room in my parents' house, like up against the corner, and I just had a candle, and I just lit it with that and filmed on my iPhone, and talked into a blue Yeti mic that was plugged into a computer into my laptop. And I remember editing that when I was supposed to be studying for a test in the library at my college, and I was staying at the library till like 9 p.m., because I knew that the library had better Wi-Fi than I did at home, so I could upload quicker. And I remember skipping class, spending the whole day editing on my laptop in the library, uploading. And I remember like, after an hour, it had 50 views, and I was like, wow. - How cool, how cool? - 50 people. - One exciting video. - It's always such an exciting thing when you first start going. You're just like, 50 people somewhere, it's all this. It's almost more, it's, yeah, it's at the beginning stages. It really is like the most magical time. I mean, like, it's all so new. And like as like people click on videos, and as people are watching, you think about each, and I still think about each individual, but you know, with time, you just get numb to anything. So I think about then, I remember there were a couple of comments that were like, oh, this is good to, you know, oh, just found this channel. And being like, wow, they just found my channel. So I've been very intimately familiar with all this stuff, and all the creators of it for a long time. So, but Hunter doesn't know any of this stuff. So initially, I was like, let's do local 58. But honestly, and I love local 58, Chris Straub, you know, the goat, Candle Cove, we've covered here, love this stuff. But if you ask me, the best rendition of the local broadcasting network, small town, info-marshall thing is Jim and I home entertainment. I think it just takes the formula, and does it a little bit better? I think some of the scares are more effective. I think Remia Bode really knocked the series out of the park. And when I covered Jim and I on the YouTube channel, it was a few uploads ago. So there's going to be some stuff in here that I haven't talked about publicly before. So it's good for me to cover. And it's also nostalgic, because like, this is one of the earliest videos I did on my channel, covering Jim and I home entertainment. And it's got over 5 million views now. So, you know, if you watched it, that means a lot. I really appreciate all the support, especially when I was starting off. But Hunter, like I said, doesn't know any of it. So I want him to experience it today. And if you were interested in us talking about the back rooms a bit, we talk about it on our Patreon, along with reading a liminal horror story, SCP-877, we did that in our Patreon bonus episodes. So if you're interested in getting a little more content, feel free to go over there and support the Patreon. It does help. Or if you're listening to this on YouTube right now, consider listening to episodes on Spotify, or Apple Podcasts, it does help. And there should be video there as well. So if you're looking for another alternative, that's a great way to help us out of there, is to give us a nice rating there too. Now, let me ask you this. Before we dive super into it, is analogue, is analogue horror the same stuff that we've watched in the past with the creep casting that we've done so far are the slender man, why can't I think of the fucking name? I said the empty man. That's not what we, that's not what it was called, right? No, it's called fucking where he's talking about. The serial, the slender man series. Marble Hornets, got it, got it, got it, got it. Marble Hornets, we've done gray lock, and then we've done, is that, is that it? Just those two? No, we've done more stuff on creep TV. We did urban spooky, remember. Well, yeah, urban spooky. And then we did, we did the Angelica, Midwest Angelica. Midwest Angelica. Yeah, we did. I don't know, that's really about it. Hold on. Nah, I feel like there's a couple where we're getting right now, hold on. Did that urban spooky? We did, we have a playlist for it, wasn't that convenient? User name 666, one where we looked at, the scary Japanese channel. Love them, yeah. No, okay, that is it. That was the only one missing. Why don't we, we haven't done, we haven't done creep TV a lot, but I was just say, gray lock is, is, is gray lock a good analog horror kind of thing? Yes, yeah, absolutely, very similar format. So it's, so let me ask you this then, because I know that there's also things that we haven't covered, like, what is the other one? There's like another big analog horror one that was really big during this time. Mint Mandela catalog. Mandela catalog? Yeah, there's that was, was the pandemic just the time to do this kind of, like is it still alive and strong today, or was it just like kind of a flash in the pan? So, what I think it was, so, analog horror really kicked off, and there's some earlier, like, one off instances, but local 58 was really what started turning the gears for a lot of people. And Chris Straub, a bunch of his stuff is based in, like, small town, TV, network, showing suspicious things. Like, he did candle coat, right? Like the kids watched the TV show. And they think it's, they think they're watching a kids show, but they're actually just looking at static. So a lot of cool stuff was already kind of in that realm. Yeah. So then when he does local 58, that's about, like, this broadcasting network that actually some eldritch entity is manipulating the stuff that's happening. That kind of turned, turned to switch in a lot of people's heads to be like, oh, this is creepy. I can do something with it that everyone started doing, like, these infomercial style things where some entity wants you to know that there's something, like, something's coming, something's going to get you whatever. So there's, like, Jim and I, Mandela catalog started there with its first couple of entries, but then it kind of became its own, like, mixed media horror project. The back room's cane stuff was its own thing. That guy, I feel like he was made in a lab somewhere to just build whatever he's building now. So that you can see the only real connection between that two analog core is like the literal analog camera format, but it's found footage more than it is this stuff. Yeah, it's definitely a phone. I was going to say, but I think that it's interesting. It's just kind of like how it's just how the fucking plan it's aligned, man, where it's like, I'd be curious to see, I mean, like, don't know wrong. I think it would still be big, but I think because this, like, analog craze was so big and popular with people, I think it was easier for people to also to latch onto the back room's thing, like, oh, this is a fun iteration of this other thing that I like, you know? It's just like, it's the perfect storm of like mixing all this other shit that you're doing. So just really interesting, I mean, there's just insane, you know, like, I mean, fully rendering stuff and blender and stuff versus a lot of this stuff, no shade to any of the other analog stuff, but it is very simple and, you know, it's very approachable and how people make it. That's why I think like the benefit to a lot of it was, like Alex Kister made the first Mandela catalog video from his phone, like he just got on a phone editor and like put the stuff together. I think it's awesome to make it work. And then later on he, you know, used the platform to do more stuff, but the fact that it was that approachable to a lot of people is what I think kicked off a lot of people's ideas around the genre. And then from there, people started to make it more complicated. Like, there's some stuff I'll talk about in Gemini today where they kind of broke the mold, but you are right that in COVID, everyone's locked up. [BLANK_AUDIO] and like local 58 and stuff like that starts going around to where so many people are like, now it's the perfect time for me to learn how to make this. - Yeah. - Which I feel like a lot of us were kind of doing, right? We're just stuck inside. I mean, that's when I started YouTube, right? - Yeah, I mean, I think I was on, I think like COVID, my channel had just blown up. Or like has like had been going to where I could do it full time or whatever. So it was, it was definitely just everybody's at home wanting to watch shit and just like make stuff and do whatever. So it was just, yeah, it was a blow. I really, and I'm not, I have to clarify, I'm not saying it's worth it. Not saying it was a good trade because people died. Not saying that. However, I do not think I would be where I am now if it wasn't for the lockdown. - Oh yeah. - Yeah. - Because everyone's stuck inside like all the channels used blue up and stuff like that. - Yeah. - No, that's a good thing. No, that's a good thing. - I'm gonna let it go. - I'm not gonna let it go. - Yeah. - Yeah. I'm just saying it. - I've seen people say that they wanted it. One of those good with the bad kind of scenario. - What's weird is I feel like people aren't romanticizing that time now too to where it's like, I've been seeing a lot of like online discussions being like, man, what I wouldn't fucking give just to have another pandemic to where I could just like be inside or whatever. It's very interesting how people perceive that stuff or that time. And also it's crazy to think that it's been like five years now since it's like been done. Since the lockdown's been done or whatever. - Yeah. - It feels like it was forever. - About twenty-two-one. - Whatever. - Or is it twenty-two-one? - That's when like it was totally taken off. A lot of places were kind of relaxing end of 2020, early 2021 kind of area. 'Cause it started, they outbreak started end of 2019. And it was like the beginning of 2020 when like the nationwide lockdowns really started up. - Yeah. - 'Cause there was a few months of kind of like, "Ha ha, what's going on?" - It was such a fucking blast. - Such a blur at the whole time period. All right, well, I mean, without further ado, let's just jump into it. Let me tell you this. So you actually, you enjoy this. I know whenever we did, we've talked about some things that people love. Some people are like, eh, I don't know. Is this something that is like a pretty universally loved thing or does it have its detractors as well? - I mean, there's people who are the other reason I say that is just because I feel like when we covered Urban Spook, there was a lot of people who were just like, "Don't cover that." - I don't know. - So I don't know. - Yeah, I hear you, I hear you. So Urban Spook was that way because of like, people took issue with a lot of the subject matter, like the stuff involving kids and. - Urban Spook redacted baby. - Yeah, redacted baby. - One of my favorite things ever is redacted baby. A lot of stuff like that, right? Urban Spook was super like exploitative and the creator knew what he was doing with it. He would make tweets all the time. He's like, "Yeah, this is supposed to be like watching "a mortal combat fatality." It's like over the top for a reason. So there are a bunch of people at issue with it. I don't know anyone who likes analogue horror who has a problem with Jim and I. - All right. - Like it's pretty, it's one of the standards in the genre. - I just didn't know if I was when I'm walking myself into, which I don't want to spoil too much. I just didn't know if it's gonna be a thing once again where we have redacted baby or we have. - No, this, I know. - I'm a man in poop pipe or something. - I'll put it, I'll put it this way. When you watch this, I think it will kind of explain a lot of the hype that we had for it. - Okay. - So, for the whole genre. - All right. Well, what's the first, what's the first century called? - The first one's world's weirdest animals. But before we do that, you said there was, you were saying you saw this girl right before we started recording and then you wanted to tell the story in the recording. - What was the context around what we were talking about before I'm trying to. - We were talking about the things you're making. That's right. The, I saw this girl online. I was just gonna say, it was like probably one of the most well done tattoos I've seen, but it was Smile Dog. It's like one of the best Smile Dog tattoos I've ever seen. I meant to send it to you, but it is fucking incredible. I was gonna say, if I could find it, I'll have to put it up here, but shout out that. It may be like, fuck man, I need to get a creepypasta tattoo. It was really, really good. I really enjoyed it. It was so safe. - It was creepypasta tattoo. - Yeah, it had the big tea fight in English. - Full, full round circle moment for this podcast. If you start out like Jeff the what, though, and then you just get like a bunch of creepypasta tattoos. - Would you get a slender man tattoo or would you get a Jeff the killer tattoo? - If you had a OG slender, I think, slender. - You'd get slender. - Well, no, no, 'cause then there's so many people who just associate slender with the stabbing that I guess it sounds crazy, but I guess Jeff the killer is the safer option that Jeff the killer would do, never thought that we'd hear that. I would probably do Jeff the killer too. I think it would just be a very funny tattoo. I don't want to get on my inner thigh. (laughing) - Jeff the killer man. - Just looking up at you, the old dog. - Yeah, exactly. Bounce around, it's all my other meat and jibbles down there. - Okay, all right, there we go. As soon as you said inner thigh, I knew we'd get there at some point. Okay, well, without further ado, Hunter, did you say thank you patrons? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I love you guys. - Good, good. - All right, well, with the first title being "Worlds Weeders Animals," I was gonna say, give me your best like David Attenborough impression for "Worlds Weeders Animals." - I'm trying to remember what David Attenborough sounds like. - The fish swim in the pods along the dolphin. - I can't do impressions. - The watch, but "Weeders Animals." - There you go. - It's the, you know it. - Or you can do, we're hurt. - There will be texts that appears on screen. - It's the "Worlds Weeders Animals." - That's more like a Warner Herzog, I think. - I love to watch Jim and I home in detainment at my home. - There's some texts that's gonna appear on screen. Why don't you give it your David Attenborough. - The text is on screen? - That's about to come up. - Oh, okay, I see. - Okay, all right, well, episode one. "Worlds Weeders Animals." - Jim and I, home in detainment. - The Earth, "Worlds Weeders Animals." - Oh, Minnesota. - Pause it. - Looks like a man's face, doesn't it? Look at this. His brow up here, his little nose, his lips. - Yeah, that's a shin. (audience laughing) - I agree. I see the vision. I can see the vision. Watching this right now, by the way, is like a huge nostalgic trip. I've not watched this in a while. This is like. - All right, Wilkins County. - This is a big moment. - Oh yeah, it's beautiful. - Animal, number one. - Let's see here. - What do they think? What's it, what's it weird animal? God damn, that audio is. A greater premium chicken. Greater, very chicken than just like a fucking super collider going on in the background. (laughing) - Needed to sit on North America. Greater, prairie chickens are well known for their prominent airsacks in protruding ear-like feathers. That is weird, huh? These birds often engage in lacking a form of mating ritual. The males utilize their airsacks to impress females. Isn't he all concute? During the winter, great prairie chickens have been observed diving into snow to stay warm. How weird! Clay County. - Animal, number two. (birds chirping) - A burrowing owl. - Look at that little son of a bitch's weird skinny legs. - I don't think the tech said that. I don't think David Atboro would ever call an owl that. Once found all over America's, this small critter is now far more lucy-vy. As their name suggests, these owls treat large burrows for their nest instead of creating woods and geese. - Sorry about the music survived though, huh? - Yep. - Burring owls like to live in prairies in open fields, where they can use old squirre the badger holes for their nest. - I have a feeling we're gonna see animal death very soon. - I know you're talking about. - Everywhere. - God damn, turn the super collider down! (laughing) - Turn it down! - What? - Animal, number three! (humming) - Sounds like fucking subulbas pod racer. God damn, dude. (laughing) - Wood crawlers! Found all over North America, these animals are excellent hunters, being able to tread most terrain without making a sound. The preferred nesting locations are inside the homes of large families, where large swarms can adapt easier. You will hear screaming! God damn sealion out there, they stole their voices. Burn the bodies, let's stand up again. Nature's markery! Oh! Man, it still works so well. Oh, he's buggin' out, dude! What the fuck is this guy walkin' around this house? This is me standing outside my sundry when I've had like six or seven drinks. He's just vibing and attacking, "I'm gonna fuckin' kill you, I'm gonna fuckin' kill you!" Fake people. He's standing outside my sundry. Go near him! Okay, daddy. Bye-bye! Does he ever turn to-I said, "Go near him!" He's just walkin' back and forth. Don't pop up close to the window. You're too close to the window! He's gonna pop out and scare ya! Hey, who the fuck is that? What the fuck do you expect to happen? What are you that fuckin' close to the window with a giant head camera? Oh my god, these guys are actually fuckin' weird! Yeah, back away from the window! God! Jimmy Nay has- So that's the first one that kicked off the whole series. So it seems like he's saying that there's these creatures that are basically like imitating humans. Uh, yes. Yeah, well, the wood crawlers, right? It says that large nests get in homes and assimilate the families. So they're like learning to be people and mimicking them and stuff like that. Yeah, the two first birds were both kind of paralleling what the monster does. Yes, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, this is what I'm sure it'll say, but in these things, I'm always- Whenever I watch these, I'm always just like, why the fuck are you schoolin' around? First off, you're in Minnesota. You're just outside this guy's house like, oh my god, with a camera looking in. Geez Louise, okay. This is- Uh-oh. I feel like I would have a little bit of footage. I'd be like, that's all I need and I'd run off. You know what I mean? What am I just going around for? Goodbye. I was like, I like the kid comin' up and being like, "hello Daddy, I'm back! Get out of here!" Okay, goodbye. Yeah, 100% though. That guy, like basically fitting into his own face or whatever. That is 100% me just outside. Oh, so my son's room just screaming silently. You don't realize how you fuckin' ruined my life. You ruined my life. Chad, I can hear you. Look at this Jeff the Killer tattoo. Go to sleep. Yeah, exactly. You see that? Something here. I had to stop. Daddy's flexible. I'd be like doing the full splits right in front of him. Try the comic slim jam. Alright, next one. What's next one? Next one. Next one. Next one, Storms Safety Tips. Storms Safety Tips. Is this gonna be- is every time is this gonna be a thing where it's like Storms Safety Tips and it's like, you know, be sure to watch her reign and the next one's a guy just like peeping and on a woman who's just like, turned like, I don't know, eating her fingers or something like that. These people can't swim without fingers or something. So it's gonna be like that. Is that pretty much the gist of time? The first couple are like that. The first two or three. Alright, but it's like there's a normal info-marshall setup that it changes. Alright. It's time to talk about something scary. Your health. I know I don't go in the doctor as much as I should.

Their link will be in the description and we are now back to the episode. "Storms can be violent and dangerous." In this cassette, you learn how to protect you and your family when a severe storm hits your home. "Right one! Prepare in advance." "You do not want to get gotten a storm unprepared. To prepare your home in case of a storm, follow these steps. Step one, reinforce your home. This may involve improving structural support, replacing roof shingles or fixing any possible leaks. Step two, install early warning system. This will allow you to know beforehand of a storm or another dangerous approaching your home, recommended, alibato alarm for harbaged technologies." Step three, create a storm bunker. Make sure the bunker matches the following measurements. 10 feet by 18 feet. Create concrete foundation at least 8 inches thick. Which is well above average and it'll hurt her. In the sit of your bunker, install large aluminum hemispheres, 45 feet. Place short wave radio next to hemispheres, we're occupying the timber radio for harbaged technologies. 15 to 45 feet, still well above average, yeah 5 feet. Only turn on radio in the event of an emergency. Part two, what are you doing a storm? In the event that a storm hits your home, it is important to follow these steps. Well, quietly take your family to your bunker. Your home does not belong to you now. Step two, turn on short wave radio, ignore all sound produced by the radio. These are auditory hallucinations, why did I turn it on? Why did I turn the, remain calm, why did I turn on the radio if it's hallucin? Your tears are filled with salt, what? What? What? Three after a storm. If you believe the storm has passed, carefully leave your bunker to survey for damages. If your house has been severely damaged, check for movement inside. Do you hear the chime, you are safe, the storm has passed over, look to the field. Do you see lights? Return to your bunker, you're about ready to be turned into chunky better. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Listen, under your feet, they killed the last narrator, chronic thru defluor. Now we're equipped to defend you and your family against this storms. All right, so this is fun, so basically saying that in Minnesota, is it just Minnesota? Well, it says all over in the first one in North America, they're found all over North America. Yeah, but in this case, I mean, it's just they said the first thing we saw was Minnesota, those counties, and it said everywhere, I'm just assuming that we're just still staying in the, like this local broadcast is for like a Minnesota town and I like that they made like weird sirens and shit like that, uh, shocking lack of, uh, man screaming at child through door. So that one wasn't as good as that, but I still kind of lost also, it's a fun little thing of doing like storm safety tips, but it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a storm you don't expect. That's, that's fun. Yeah. It's more like a swarm. Yeah. It's more like a ton of these things taken over your home and stuff like that. Again, like within the analog core, which these first few are definitely standardized, you'll see, like I said, it breaks them old as we go on, but a lot of them are based around the idea that there's a local broadcasting network that's either been taken over by something or people within the network are trying to warn people about what's coming. Um, what's the most kind of like you get your storytelling off of just that? What's the most absurd thing that can still be scary? Like on paper, it seems ridiculous, but it would still be very frightening in one of these series. Yeah, I mean, on paper, absolutely ridiculous. You hear it and you're like, what? But then if you saw it practically, like actually, that is, that's horrifying. What would it be? Actually, I think probably an example of something that sounds goofy in concept, but it's actually pretty freaky is the Walton files. Do you know about it? No. So the Walton files. Hold on. I'll pull this up for reference real quick. The Walton files, I mean, it's clearly based off five nights at Freddy's, right? Okay. Like the idea around it is like animatronics, like in an old, um, where's an example? Like most of the early parts of it look like this where it's like, it's like just hand drawn, like, you know, it's, it's very five nights at Freddy's, like, oh, these animatronics kill people and stuff like that. But the way Martin Walsh draws some of these scenes is actually the way Martin Walsh draws these characters a lot of the times like this, like very goofy children's animation, and the whole concepts around like these abandoned animatronics kill people and you're like, yeah, I mean, it's like, you know, how scary could it be, right? Kind of thing. But every now and then, I'll be watching this thing. There will be, so sometimes like in some creepy segments, you'll get, where's that one of Bond looking around, we'll get stuff like this. It's like, well, that's a little, like the human teeth feature and stuff like that. It's like, that's a little unsettling. But then he'll do, he'll do art randomly, or it's like, there's a one where it kills them where, yeah, they'll be walking around with flashlights and it's like, well, that's a bit more. This is a bit more menacing than a kid's cartoon, like the face standing there and stuff like that. But then you'll do these, these little like mixed action things, like there's one where it'll be shots like this. And then this is the example I think of, but there's one where it's like human eyes and they're looking around. Then it'll hard cut to like someone getting killed. You see the dots of the eyes and then it comes on and it kills them and it'll show like to describe someone's face getting contorted inside of it. It just shows like a 3D glimpse of like the face being shoved up into the mask and stuff like that. I think that's a series that like the parts of it sound goofy and practice, but they work together when they're played out together. And also the story of Walt Files is interesting between like what, start them and all that stuff. So that's, that's an example. So what would you think? What would you think's the goofiest thing that could still work? I don't know. I was thinking like what, like thinking of like the like these shapeshifting people or whatever here. You know, I was trying to think of like an alien species that like steals our nipples, but doesn't realize that we have formula. So it's trying to stop us from reproducing and feeding our babies, but they actually just come in and steal your nipples. I think on paper, it seems stupid, but I think practically an alien coming in and like peeling off your nipple in a way where it doesn't, it's not like ripping it off. It peels it to where the near just your titty or your chest has like, it's just flat. I think that'd be very uncanny. The nipple Steelers. I think like that would actually be kind of frightening. And their whole objective is they're trying to starve the youth of the world so we can't re-pop, we can't reproduce, I can't, I can't wait for you to get a studio budget one day. Does that, does that not sound good? Yeah, you like imagine this kind of thing, home fucking entertainment, the fucking, you know, the super colliders going on the background, just like watch your nipples, you know, like be sure to wear three layers of shirts. You can wake up and you just hear like, whatever. Wake up and your kid is gone or your nipples gone. That would be, look, I'm going to agree with you. That would be pretty frightening. Or if it was a species that was, yeah, it was like trying to stop people from reproducing. That's how they kill, they don't murder people, but they, they take out the reproductive organs. That'd be kind of cool. Like aliens that are cashtraining men or they're taking out women's wombs wouldn't that be kind of fucking weird? Don't know how you show that, I mean, that'd be pretty fucking, you're like, what, it's like you're one of the few that's still able to bear a child, you have to save humanity. It would be pretty weird. I'm not gonna. Or actually, I had a dream one time when I was younger, you know, I was really afraid of. I was like, I was like, I had a dream when I was younger that there was like a silver man who would break a thermometer in my mouth and poison me with mercury. That's like a big thing. I was afraid of when I was younger. The silver, I can't tell my mom, I'm dreaming of the silver man again. And he just, that's why he did, he'd break thermometers in my mouth while I'm sleeping. And I'd never wake up. It's very similar to that, you ever seen that video of the guy who's getting mustard sprayed in his face? He's like, oh fuck. Oh, he's, how you seen that? Did something happen to you? Have you seen the mustard video? Pacific thing to be afraid of? No. You're typing, type in man sleeping mustard. It's one of my, it's probably like one of my favorite videos. on the Internet it's so good, yep, see very top one there you go, get right here, look that, no, no, the top top one, top one, yeah, this one, click, click that one, okay, give us some audio, this is some devious shit, dude, imagine the silver man, and this is actually a thermometer, and this man on the couch is me, is that a Betty Boot blanket? [Music] All right, you're good, you're good, all right, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, Jack left, Jack left over the river, Jack leaped, Jack leaped over the river, Mary followed close behind, isn't leaped or leaped, it's leaped, it's leaped, they're searching for the secret place, I hear you, what, what, give me the guy on the computer, the intelligence builds upon its previous iteration, utilizing complex wordage and proper grammar and formatting, Jack leaped over the river, there goes Mary down the stream, the secret place, come on Mary, the river flows, but not with water, uh-oh, with what, PP, or is it blood or PP, I don't think that's where the story's getting to, yeah, the computer seems to diverge from its original path and begins a more complex branch of sentences, Jack heard it again, there's a voice from space, Jack, do you see me? I have become something else, is this in the, I think this is, is this Mary? Perhaps, maybe she's dead and now she's talking to him from the grave. So I think a lot, a lot of these analog core series, you've stuff up to speculation on purpose, that, uh, with my theory for what the series is, that's what I think is happening there, it'll become more apparent later too. I have another idea for a, for a horror in analog series, uh-huh, listen to the silver box, computer, computer probably, the stars are moving now. Ooh, stars, that's a money sign, hell yeah, do you see the hungry eye, all the S's are, as the money sign. Here I am. Is that a flying saucer? Get a little marble hornets vibe there, eh? Mm-hmm. Repping at the door. The video should have demonstrated the capabilities of regnet computing's artificial intelligence. Not very good, dude. We hope to have the technology available for commercial and personal use within the year. I'll tell you what, I would not be, I would not be a happy investor if that was the demo video. What's your idea? My idea would be, it's the ghost of Loubega. And then every time that you hear the song mombod number five coming in your house, that's how you know Loubega is there to kill you. What if it's that? My bear, what did you get it? Three, four, five, everybody in the club, let's go smoke a bowl, let's buy through the, that would actually be fucking horrifying. It's just slowly getting louder from the basement. Loubega, he's, how would you, how would you call Loubega? Would you, you have to say his name five times because mombod number five, right? Loubega. Or would you say, would you say his name, would you say beg a Lou, beg a Lou, beg a Lou, beg a Lou, I think, you know, there is the idea of like something getting closer to kill you, but it's dancing towards you. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, it's, it's it's Loubega dancing towards you. You can hear him dancing up your steps and singing that song. He has a, he has his iPhone out in a shirt pocket and it's playing a song and he's like dancing up the stairs. It's actually kind of insane. If you say, if you say, if you say, if you say beg a Lou, five times into the reflection of a saxophone, what, what is when he shows up? What, what if he's not even looking at you? He's just moving towards you, but always looking forward. So like as he's coming up the stairs, you're like perpendicular to the stairs. He's not even looking at you. He's like looking straight up the staircase, but he's coming up the stairs towards you. I think he's looking at you because the whole thing is he's gonna put on a show before he kills you you have to listen to the entire Mamba number five before he kills you all right are you ready for the next one our solar system our solar system You want to read this one our solar system? The Sun Situated 149 million miles away the Sun provides light for our entire solar system Without it earth would be a barren frozen rock Thank you, son Thank you, son Mercury It's one of the smallest planets in our solar system mercury is also the hottest It sits perilously close to the Sun and only takes 87 days to orbit around it Venus As a second brightest object in the night sky Venus can sometimes be seen from Earth The average surface temperature of the planet is 462 degrees Celsius Earth Earth is one of the only planets in our solar system capable of supporting life With 71% of the planet covered with water. It's a miracle. We can all fit Mars often called the red planet Mars is a mostly barren desert world Dune pieces of Mars have fallen to Earth in the form of meteorites Jupiter as a gas giant Jupiter is no solid surface, which makes it impossible to stand on it The large spot on the planet is known as the great red spot. It is not an eye debatable Saturn although mostly a gas giant there may be a large solid core deep inside the planet This planet's prominent rings are quite a sight to behold. They are the gateway Uranus This planet is classified as an ice giant and is the coldest planet in our solar system Unlike most planets Uranus rotates on its side Neptune Large storm rage is in the planet called the great dark spot. It is the lens Neptune has been mutated The iris It is with us now Laughing at us Lubega Behold Shooting a goddamn KMAMA wave all the way from Neptune to Earth Pluto That's the smallest planet in our solar system. Pluto is only 1,188.3 kilometers in radius Although it hangs at the edge of our solar system. This planet isn't going anywhere. There you go. So more lore So it's interesting. How much is this turn into a cosmic horror? There are a lot of them cosmic horror related to you think It's green. It was kind of cosy. There's always Midwest and Jellik and stuff. Yep. So it's local 58 I think a lot of them kind of like using which I like it to using the analog horror format as a gateway to some unknown like you know beyond Institute is that the same with Mandela catalog to no Mandela catalog is much more religious horror It's like demons and that kind of thing But like local 58 is like a Cosmic core entity Gemini is so a lot of a lot of the big hitters are for sure, right all right camp information video Moonlight Acres family camp established 1930 Come visit Moonlight Acres family camp. Gosh, I love the mountains since our founding Moonlight Acres has been devoted to family and creating memories Our camp ground is as pristine and beautiful as ever and relic from the past Many of the original camp buildings remain untouched since the initial closure Let's look at some of the activities our camp has to offer Hiking with so many expansive trails hiking is a regular occurrence at our camp Just make sure you don't get lost Archery has been a tradition throughout our camp's lifetime with the targets getting more extravagant every year Our canoe trips are always a blast And let's not forget about our famous lights in the sky event the harvest The what What was that what was that? Pardon me. Excuse me, ma'am No needs pinch a tent moonlight Acres has tons of places to lay your head Cabins sleep in luxury at one of our family cabins completely burrow free It's excuse me the what they do what for the kids. We have separate boys and girls cabins each with fun activities all year round Feeling rustic say it one of the camp's original cabins which are frequently cleaned and always cozy Each and every cabin on Moonlight Acres is beautifully decorated with the most up-to-date safety technology You can rest assured knowing your security is in our hands Oh No, thank you to not answer the knocking at the door Beethos an important part of Moonlight Acres legacy is its mythos Tall tales have been told from person to person throughout the camp's lifetime In 1935 rumors of strange rail dressed men visiting the camp began to make the rounds It is said that the men who would ask to enter the cab and ministries cabin every night for years One night, but he was made with the strange men and they left the camp never to be seen again Another popular myth arose in the 30s when camp goes began to have sightings of skin walkers People's obsession with skin walkers on the internet it's crazy. Yeah, yeah, I mean they're they're a very pliable creature. You can do a lot with them Hello God damn old monkey coming out there Vessels Adam Levych mince club supervisor answered the door Mary Johnson assistant activity supervisor answered the door Truman Michaels answered door Bethany Newman answered door Alex Davison Dorothy Bates Ask to enter So Another entry. What do you think of that one? You know, I like the little meethos thing. I think it's fun. All right, next one lethal omen commercial So this one actually hold on let's see if it's still there Is it still there? Yes, okay, so the first live stream. Okay, so this this one is about a video game called lethal omen, right? On it's.io you can play the lethal omen game and the first live stream I ever did was me playing lethal omen and like going through and getting the different possible endings because there's a bunch of different ways it can go and I don't remember all of them but I have very fond memories of this lethal omen intense action challenging puzzles high quality graphics the game is very impressive. There's a ton of secrets and like different paths you can find. Oh, funny. You can actually play it. Yeah, that's what did you not hear me at the beginning? Oh, no, sorry. Yes, what I was saying since she's been playing this game. You can play the game here. And the first live stream I ever did was me playing lethal omen, which I appreciate that level of detail that you can actually play the games. Those newspapers are about like a bunch of people going missing from the camp. Well, you can see the face in there. That's cool. And then that I love it. I love how uncanny it looks. He's not dying. That's cool. They're 3D of the alarm there. We've been saying. Yep. And then the bunker from storm say there's the little down and stuff and the radio radio and all that. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. The light get him. Lethal omen uses revolutionary artificial intelligence as a basis for its video game engine. Uh-oh. Watch out for the lights. Footsteps are kind of loud, buddy. Well, don't know what that noise was. Well, that's not that's not particularly exciting. Don't mind me. I'm going to mosey off here and. I saw something to the right. Maybe not. The Irish. The Irish. The iris is kind of like a fun take on like a flying saucer. Some. Yeah. I like it's very similar to. Did you ever play the dead space games? I played the first one at the end of the third one. You realize that the source of the the marker control are these moons that have effectively been mutated into these giant entities. So you have to like kill the moon. And I always thought that was a cool idea of like a giant like astral body being the entity you have to stop. I remember in the I remember in the game. There was a few different endings. There was one where you sacrifice. Someone to save yourself. There's another one like you think the sun's rising, but it's actually like the iris. There was a few different ways it ended, but is this still going on? June ours it over the last entry was three years ago, but there's also been three year gaps before. So who knows. Currently, yeah, yeah, but currently yet ends with old bones. All right. Will there is survival guide. This one has one of the most iconic scenes from the whole series. A lot of people they think of analog core think about the end of this one. Spoils man. Spoils. Jack Wilders wilderness survival guide. Whether you're camping, hiking or hunting, it's important to stay safe when it going into the wilderness. This cassette will teach you how many you many survival tips that might just save your life. I'm Jack Wilders. Essentials be prepared is a basic knowledge that every wildlife explorer should know, including what equipment to keep on hand basic equipment to include a water flash down person food first aid kit matches compass and I've stored these items in the backpack. Would you? Thank you. I'm Jack Wilders. Thorns, niches and rivers could lead to series injury if not accounted for. I can see myself drowning in a river. Hey, Kate, like a six inch one. Yeah, he's very very shallow camping and hiking and private properties are hunting grounds. We could lead to serious fines or worse. I always make sure you have the proper permits before entering an area. Would you? I'm Jack Wilders. Things to avoid wildlife bears, sugars and moose. Moose are actually so fucking frightening. If you come face to face with any of these animals, stay calm. Do not run. Slowly back away, keep your eye on the animal. Hit the gritty. If the animal displays aggression, raise your voice and speak sternly. Keep back and away until you're out of view of the animal. Once on eyesight, report the. That was. Don't worry about that. I'm Jack Wilder. Did anyone else see that? Martha, did you see what? Okay. I guess I was just. I guess it was just me. And we need your smile. Martha, what the hell is this a practical joke? I'm Jack Wilders. Okay, just go back to normal here. Always keep a first day kid. Are you sure that was just me? All right. Let's just talk about sounds. I mean, you know wildlife, right? That's an electrical. Not really necessarily. You want to watch your for coyote house. I mean, this is good. They're going to send like kids crying. It is what it is. It's coyote house. I'm Jack Wilders. This is a bit of an unconventional recording so far. But the next one is. There's a cougar. There's a cougar scream. Very typical. This is outside my backyard. Okay, little took my iPhone out and recorded these. I'm still pretty shocked by the visuals I saw earlier. But you see, so cougars do the next steps in the owl. Okay. I do not remember. I don't remember recording this one. I'm Jack Wilders. Martha! Did you fuck with this? Well, good. Okay, if you hear any of these sounds, leave there. I mean, whether there's a man screaming for help. So I would assume so. Do not move toward the sound. If you hear them, they have already heard you. Okay, what does that mean? What the hell does that even mean? I'm Jack Wilders. This makes no sense. Okay, I guess we're just going to talk about building a campfire now. We're going to kind of avoid that. You'll need wood, large stones, dry grass, leaves, dry twigs, branches, matches, or dreadlocks. I really would just go, when we need to move past it, I should have taken my heart medication or there. Create a ring of stones and desired location. That's so you don't burn down the whole goddamn area. I've got to make sure it can just stay contained. Then this is me, setting this up in my backyard. This is about 11, 30 at night the other day. I like to wear large mittens. Oh, couldn't get it. Oh, four times a drum. Oh, five times a drum. Oh, six times a drum. Oh, seven times a drum. I really can't seem to, you didn't go in. What did you do, the fire starts, follow the lights. I don't know really how that helps with my matchbook, eh, where those logs are a bit big further. Okay, I love this so good. My dude is buggin'. This is my child in her backyard. It's fine, I'm Jack Wilder. It's fine. If you believe, if you believe you've been affected through a wound, do the following. Watch where the word 'water and soap'. Use antibiotic ointment on injury. Put a bullet in your head. Firstly rip forward objects from Barney. Good God. Would you leave me alone? Fuck. Then white boys always acting up. This has been Jack Wilder's Litterness Advocate. The timing on that first one where you're doing the, I'm Jack Wilder thing and then he turns back and it's nature's mockery. I love the, I love that him standing completely still in jilted screaming like help help me. And he's like, they're still like mogging the camera and shit. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think this, the skin walker thing's like, you know, been a thing for a long time, but I really like Jim and I's take on it. There's something so uncanny about like the, that's such a guttural voice coming out of something completely still just walking around. Yeah, well the silhouette there too is fun, but it's like, yeah, you just completely blocked out and yeah, it's fun. Yeah, yeah. All right, next one. Sleep image visualizer. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. Abinge technology easy. Sit up and information. Introduction to the sleep image visualizer. Main module. All you have to know I'm dumb. Adjust the proclaim. Setting up the sleep image visualizer. Connect the sleep image visualizer to your computer using code provider. Connect the sleep image visualizer to the design with the visualizer. Main module using the code provider. Insert this image visualizer on your computer. I follow is a leisurely structure. It started out as Indian, but now it's like falling off. You need to sleep image visualizer somewhere. But I'm your poster now computer. I wrote this sleeping image visualizer. I'm used to that. Doesn't that look comfy? Leave our showrooms. Began at 5.24 a.m. December 12, in dad 5.30 a.m. December 12 is in their six minutes. He's in their six minutes. All right. He's looking at a light switch. What's to the right of it? Woodpanel. Woodpanel. Place this sleep image on your head slightly further to the right of the woodpanel. The dark room. Do you not see that right there? Oh god damn, I fucking eyes. Look an egg. Oh, it's a man's face face face face. There you go. Okay, there you go. All right. Don't hit me with that. There you go. Come on, man. Turn the sleep image visualizer main module on in line bed. Your sleep in west, west, west will begin recording automatically. Sleepy time. Stick figure on mountain. He will have good night. Good night, sleep figure. Good night to you. So there's a man looking at him in the doorway. In his dreams. That was the sleep of the visualizer. Sleep image visualization, agile content, began at 4.6 a.m. John Tondefor in dead for 10 a.m. John Tondefor six minutes in. That's a cool room. An observatory. That's really cool. An observatory. One of those ceiling projectors. I love to get fucking zoomed in and listen to comfortably now and have a pink Floyd light show in there, man. Upon waking up, check your computer for fully rendered sleep image visualization. Go ahead. You saw that remember? Thank you for taking part in sleep image visualization program. Please note that all sleep image visualizations are automatically sent and legal pro. Okay, so all right, my bad sleep image visualization, Jack Jean. Okay, well, you saw the time. It said he was asleep for three days. God damn rock and full sleep and just absolute Levi or Wrangler's brutal. No wonder you had a fucking sleep paralysis nightmare. Hello? So remind the sleep image visualizer takes images from your unconscious mind and visualizes them. These images do not represent reality. Dreams cannot die future. Or so we think. All right, Joseph Allen. Hey, he's not ended yet. He's still sleeping. Right? Yep. Okay. All right. Joe is undergoing. Joe wake up currently Joe Joe. Oh, okay. They just see that on the monitor and then he disappears. Yeah, just pops out of the bed. Oh, okay, cut that thumbnail. All right, dear God. Well, the one of me. Yeah, you know who made that? Take one guess who made that. I don't know who made it. Nate. That's Nate. Yeah, Nate did that. Good Lord sleep image visualizer. The idea of like being able to project whatever's in your dreams to a monitor is terrifying. I would never do it. Yeah, that'd be a fun concept for a horrible idea. Yeah, fun concept for horror would never do it. I would be very fearful to have my dreams blast out there. I dream a lot of very weird things. I would be very embarrassed. Yeah, I agree. Do you want to talk about your weird dreams? Was that a setup to something? I don't. Weird dream last night. There it is. Okay. What was it? I had a dream that I was like trying on overalls at the car heart store. And I feel like that's just because of what new. I don't know why, but I was at the car heart store doing it. But then like I was wearing like red high heels the whole time. So like I was like in these black giant bib overalls. But I was like click clack and run the car store with these high heels on. And this guy was just like, uh, you want to dig up your shoes? And I was like, no, that's okay. And I kept trying on these overalls. But the stiletto heels kept getting digging into the bib overalls. So it was just very complicated. That was like seriously. felt like a nine hour long dream. So to see that projected would be that would be something alright would be. I don't know what you would get or take away from it, but yeah, I don't think they don't think that really benefits humanity in any kind of way. So there you go. That was the dream ahead. I'm going to I'm going to breeze past the implications of that. We're just going to go on to games for kids. What implication is it? I'm not that I said we're going to breeze past it. So games for kids, it is games for kids. Jim and I, whom do you need me to give you your best? Hey kids. Hey kids. Are you bored? We need some new fun games to play while you're in luck. Games for kids. List of fun classic games to play with friends. Game one. Hide and go seek. One player is chosen as a secret while everyone else are hiders. I never liked that game. Never liked how to go seek the secret is counts to 20 that searches for the hiders. No, my friends like how to go see my friends would never come find me. They just like it. Like that. That's good. All right, everyone. Let's play hide and seek as soon as how it runs off. They're like, all right. Now let's go. Yeah, I would try very hard. They would not hide. They wouldn't hide very well. So I found them very quickly. That was my turn to hide. It lasts forever. And I have to walk out. I'd be like, you guys must not be able to find me. They'd say, oh, no, we didn't. So they definitely did just night. Freeze tag. It has to chase the tag. The runners want a runner's tag. They freeze frozen runners tagged by another runner. They get to play again. Freeze tag was always fun. Hello. And all the runners are frozen. It wins. Game three, Sardines. Sardines is similar to hiding. Go seek except one player is chosen as a hider and everyone else is seekers. That feels more familiar to me. The seekers count to 20 while the hider hides as fast as they can. When a seeker finds the hider, they try their best to hide with them. Found you. Game ends when everybody is hiding. Game four. Feed the woods. Okay. No, Jack Walder. I'm glad you're here. I'm Jack Walder. How did I get back here? I'm Jack Walder. What the hell is this? Sneak outside very quietly and gather all of your friends. Go into the woods. Walk until you cannot see the lights anymore. No, no. No. Scream at the top of your lungs. I'd say it was a real fear. What? I'll say after this. How'd you get up there? Is the iris? I think it's the hungry eye, one of the lights in the field. It sounds like how my stomach feels. Game ends when the forest is fed. Oh, good. Oh, good. Sir? Okay. All right. Jack Walder. All right. Jack Walder. I don't like the wilderness anymore. Found you. I love that. That's so good. The way you fucking said, found you just fucking haunting. Found you. Found you. I love that. I love, I love like the arrow. Like it shows hide and seek than the arrow on earth. Found you. I was just going to say I love like the whole formatting of that episode how it starts with, hey, like, oh, here's a game of hide and go seek where like everyone hides from one thing. And it's like the initial infection. Then freeze tag. It's grabbing more and then sardines. They're all looking for the one person that's left. Yeah. I mean, like it mirrors how these things take over. It's done that in a great way. So far, we found that with like the wilderness stuff and everything of like taking habits of like birds or taking like being able to relate like like almost like child-like or innocent things. And it's like you realize that that's the exact same thing that's happening with like this cosmic entity that's attacking earth or whatever. Pretty fun. Yeah. Yeah. I watched that movie Michael last night. That was what you're going to say. Yeah. That was legitimately a horror film. Was it a horror film? It's just the way that they portrays it's like, hey guys, how's it going? Like Michael, what the hell'd you just do? He's like, this is my new monkey. Babels. This is monkey. And the monkey is completely CGI. He's like, damn it, Michael. That's a wild animal. He's like, yeah, it's key. I'm going to take everything. He does that. And then like there's this giant CGI monkey there. The whole time. He's like, I'm going to make the greatest album in the world. And it's thriller. Whatever. And it's just it's it's it's it's a laughably bad movie. Anyway, that's that's also it's a it's a horror film. It feels like a horror film. Yeah. And Michael, what'd you do your nose? I want to see all those videos of like during the theater, like people would go up and like do the dances. Oh, man. The Michael Jackson fans. They love it. Yeah. Yeah. He has this part in the movie, too, where he like sees the the footage on TV and it's like the bloods and crypts kill each other in neighborhoods, you know, so that he he tells his agents. He's like, there it is. Yeah, yeah. And they're like, okay, well, Michael, they're only there because you're there. So be careful. And he goes in there and they're all dancing first off. And he's like, yeah, that was pretty key. I think dancing and music and save the world. And they're like, okay. He's like, man, let's do it together. And they're all like he's rehearsing his thriller dance with the bloods and crypts. And I'm like, there is no way this actually happened. He's like, that was pretty key, right? And they're like, yeah. Thank you, Michael Jackson. We're not going to be in gangs anymore. I mean, there's no way that ever happened. Is that an actual scene in the movie? Legitimately, he's sitting there and he's like, it's pretty key, right? It's like that's actually what happens. Did Michael Jackson really dance with blood and crypts? Well, it's not. Michael Jackson actually did use real blood and crypts while filming his 1983 Beat It Music video. However, while they appeared on screen, they did not dance. Okay. Well, that's not what the movie told me. So whatever they said, so that fucking Google's lying because I saw it in the movie. How did they handle the accusations? They did not. So surprised that the movie ended right around the time that started. So interesting. Convenient for them even. Yeah. Well, he certainly beat it. Jim and I, Advanced Mining Vehicle. Nomad. Northern Alberta Mining and Development. After use of development, Nomad is proud to unveil the future of mining technology. Oh, it's cool. The remote-operated compact tunneler is the vehicle to revolutionize mining. Control entirely via computer. The ROCT makes it safer to. Places where humans can't, basically. That's cool. It just keeps drilling. That's fun. Yep. It cooked with four trids in the vehicle's body. Difficult terrain is no longer an issue. With highly advanced maneuverability, there's no need to worry if you get caught between a rock and a hard place. The ROCT uses two high-powered hydraulic drills to maneuver quickly and efficiently through rock and clay. Okay, I don't like this. I don't, sir, I don't like this. Our rotating camera attached to the vehicle provides a live video feed of the R-O-C-T. The camera can pivot 360 horizontally in 90 degrees vertically via the control terminal. The camera is capable of 100 to 300-millimeter optical zoom to focus on important details. What the fuck is that? A compact microphone provides live audio of ours. Why? Why would you need that? You wouldn't need that. This is especially handy for listening for heads or such as running water or an ass. Okay, well, I guess you could, but still we don't need that now. I don't like caves, Isaiah. Oh, yeah, that's right. You don't. My god. Don't need a zoom. We're zooming on nothing. Okay, we can back on that. No, we can back on that. We can back on that. We can back on that. We can back on that. Oh, okay. Alrighty. Someone's definitely grabbing the RODC. Did you see the depths? Just compromised now here. Did you see how deep it went all at once? No, I know. I see it's at 145 now, but what was it at before? Yeah, look at it as it's going down. Okay, so it's right here. It went down, uh, it went down basically. Look at it. Triple. Yep. There it goes. Okay. Alrighty. No need to reboot. It's lost cause there. Lost cause. I really don't think we want to bring him back from what's happening. I call the robots like our boil, I'm in trouble. Bring me up. Bring me up. Please. Okay, so we're in the actual depths of hell. This is absolute, absolute blackness around us. Alrighty. In addition, great battery ensures long live for the RODC. A special casting casing keeps the battery secure. It allows for a reboot in the case that the vehicle is compromised. Oh, good. Good. Good. Good for us. Oh, God. Okay. I thought that was a. Well, that was a belly for a second. Okay. All right. What the hell is that? Is that a route? Okay. No, thank you, sir. All right. That is some kind of living organ. Thank God we have optimal zoom. Oh, okay. Going deeper down. All righty. Love pumps through the gardens veins. Oh, okay. The crops mature. Oh, good. Okay. No need to. Nope. No, no, no. Nope. All right. That's the literal sun down here. Run away from that. RODC. My love. My muse. Run away. Good man. Get out of there. Oh, righty. Oh, God. There's multiple of them. Or RODC, I feel bad for the little machine. Yeah. Okay. You're only going deeper. You need to go the literal opposite direction, please. I think you fell. You stupid son of a bitch. I think he fell. He said, yeah, no one's not cracked. Okay. Shifting tendon, shape, anatomy. Uh-huh. Mutation of the heart. That's four milkshakes for me. That's what that is. Yeah, deep fried foods and red 40 mutate hunter's heart. There's no pointing zooming. My zoom. Okay. Oh, he is. He goes that depth again. Oh, he is really, really good down there. All right. We hope you enjoy this demonstration of the remote operated compact tunneler. More information regarding the ROCT can be found in your booklet. That so far was my favorite one. I'll let that one. Yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. That's a good one. Daddy like that one. He do like, he do like, I enjoy as well. Which I'm going to go ahead and say. I think my favorite in the whole series. Shifting tendon is as good as probably home invasion help, which we'll get to soon. All right. Next one, deep root disease. Let's do it. Deep root disease. Deep root disease. This is this idea too of like the infection spreading underground is pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. Down there, they like grow new ones and that's what you saw hatching at the end. Roots. Roots begin to form from the underside of bulbs once rooting stage begins. The speed of the growth increases as rooting stage progresses. It's weird. It looks like the worms that you like, you know what I mean? Like the fucking like almost like heartworms or something. Yeah. Yeah. Looks like a nest of things. Roots will continue forming until coming into contact with the bone. Once contact is made, the roots are able to spread freely. Contraction. So this is why in Jack Wilder's guide, it's said to rip any foreign bodies out immediately. Right. Because I'll just start to explain how to. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, look, grow inside of you. This is how you may develop deep root disease. Also, Jack was the name of one of the people who underwent the SIV study. When he was asleep and he saw the person sitting at the end of his bed. Typically appearing on any normally exposed part of the body, arms, legs and neck, bulbs are the first visible sign of deep root disease. Bulbs can range from two centimeters to 10 across, meaning the growth may remain unnoticed for any amount of time. For the first few hours of appearance, bulbs feel hollow and may be pressed down with ease. Once rooting stage begins, the bulb will become solid and those affected may experience pain when pressures apply to the area. Also, if you'll remember, hold on, the area will become inflamed as rooting stage progresses and small sores may appear around the affected area. As rooting stage reaches its climax, these lumps will begin to form more rapidly. Inflammation, then abruptly halts as sprouting begins. So nasty. You know, you ain't kind of fucking reminds me of is like seed ticks. Seed ticks are fucked, man. Yeah. Yeah. If you believe somebody you know is contracted deep root disease, for so sorry, diagnosis, for a bulb on exposed skin, for erratic muscle spasms, they're home for unrecognizable smells. Ask if they can recall their mother's name. If they have stopped dreaming, they have felt new bones. You know, things that people will probably tell you anyway. If more and more of these tests describe an individual, you know they've become something else preceded with protective safety measures. So one thing to mention, the dreaming thing occurs more and more because they're streaming there. There's the aluminum dome in the SIV studies that they collect dreams with. They put over your head and there's also the aluminum dome that they want you to put in the bunker, right? I'm confused by why they wanted to put it in the bunker though. Why do you need to lick a little four foot like a dome in your bunker? That's a great question. Is it just the idea of it's like, I mean, unless I'm just jumping the gun, but is it just something where it's like it's an object or something that's like able to bounce off these waves or something or like bounce off the the signals that's trying to shoot. I don't know. It's just kind of interesting. Well, I mean, there's different theories, but the idea with it is you have the aluminum dome, which like we know from SIV causes you to it picks up brain waves and stuff like that. And then you have a radio next to it that they say causes hallucinations. So perhaps they're set up in that way to further endanger you by letting you speak directly to the eye. is a sort of beacon. Who knows? The only person, the only like source of information I trust is Jack Walder, because Jack Walder actually did give correct information. Don't go towards screaming. And then he was one of the people that underwent a dream study and something was stalking him. And if you remember all the way back to the third episode, the artificial intelligence one, the story the computer told was of Jack and Mary, right? Jack jumped over the river, but Mary swam down or got caught flowing down. Yeah. So you have like this idea of Jack getting by and then he makes a survival guide thing to stay away from them. So he's probably knowledgeable. Oh, that's fun. No, little hand sprouting. Oh, there go your bones. All right. Next up, we have the sprouting and stuff. You know, I thought it was creepy, is just like a weird gross kind of concept. Like you never leave potatoes out for too long, super potatoes are regular potatoes. And they just start sprouting and growing those things. I always thought that that was just a fucking weird thing. Like he walked down one day and they're just changed. You're like, ugh, what the fuck? Yeah, they're growing out and they start to like bloom almost off of them. Yeah. Yes, it's weird. It's like even though they're like set away laying on a counter, they will begin to like, it's like they're morphing. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Monthly progress report. Regnat computing. Project infrared manager, Duncan Parnell, organizer, Kennedy Silva, manager, Alex Moore, Alexis Moore. 84% complete status and client are active and communication is available. Project description. Study of assisted technological processes via artificial computer learning for the following purposes. To predict and prevent future technological failures, to advance in the field of technological discovery, especially computer processing and memory. Computer processing, predictive advancement, failure of avoidance and ACL communication. Developments throughout the month of October have led to a drastic increase in graphical capabilities for regnet brand personal computers. The above image displays a video game, demonstration created to showcase the graphical capabilities possible with recent advancements. So there it's like, you know, regnet computing has made this video game as a gateway to some greater goal, right? Yeah. Well, that's all I'm wondering is regnet almost feels like they're in on it or they're trying to like, it's, it's weird. It's, it's setup is a warning, but it almost feels like the entities that are coming to earth are like trying to persuade you with these kind of fucking like little videos, doesn't it? Yeah. Yeah. There's something behind it. Something's operating it. Total of 15 simulations have been run during the month of October with each test giving you insight into unprecedented technological advancements. The help of ACL and our client, we are expected to pass all of our competitors within the year in the field of graphics, RAM, and processing power. By running hypothetical scenarios through the ACL system, we have successfully avoided 23 technological failures in regnet computing's future. This would not have been possible without the support and wisdom from our client who spearheaded our artificial computer learning projects. ACL communication. All communications made with our client throughout the month of October have been recorded via the ACL monitor room and will now be showcased in this tape. All systems online. Activating transmitter array. Transmitter array active. Speaking room online. That's fun. Entering prompt. Earth. Client ready for speaker. Yeah, it's like it's like the fucking alien is it's already control people who are like in charge of these programs and they're able to like submit in like reprogram people. Yeah. They're communicating through these systems. They're talking back to the iris. Receiving iteration. All of the inspiration. I'm always such a sucker for these like blood like these vein nervous system looking sprout type stuff. Mary sees the gateway die. Sleeping ones are eaten whole. The vessel floats into the mall. The jaw unhinges. So that's what it said regarding earth. Next prompt moonlight. New things roam the feeding grounds. The harbinger guards in vain. Mary hears a creaking sound. The hungry eye is welcomed. New prompt. Jack. Narration. Jack is with us now. Jack is us now. in short, the progress made throughout the month of October is drastically increased our technological capabilities. Our clients influence on the ACL system has allowed for tremendous progress to be made. We expect to meet our client in person in as little as seven months. Don't like that. Do you think that this is like normal human people that are actually still promoting like doing human things, but like totally under the guise. They don't see that how fucking like weird and crazy this is. Well, I think like the wires and stuff like that they do, but I think it's probably like some scientists who were running this basically found God. You know, they found so you see some possible being in the solar system and they're just doing it's bidding. But they have to be under the influence though, right? They're not like of sound mind. I'm under the influence. Well, if they are of sound mind, I think it's just because maybe this thing has promised that they'll be spared. I know. When it comes, so they have no option, but they feel they have no option but to give in. Right. But what it wants. Right. We get more hints there towards Jack and Mary, right? Like they want Jack. It says that Jack is with us now. Mary welcomed in the hungry eye, right? She goes back to Jack, jumped over to the river and Mary flowed down it. All right. So Jack Wilder, the true of the unsung hero of this story. All right, Christmas Eve party. Moonlight Acres family camp 1985 Christmas Eve party. I love that. Barry Johnson. I don't know what it is by Christmas music. Christmas music is always so fucking creepy, man. It's, it's, I think it's because there's just nostalgia and the tones of it are always very echoey, kind of old. I think it's also it's like so innocent, but it's like haunting at the same, it makes me think of death. Every time I think of Christmas music, I think of like, I mean, not like, not like the pop ones, but like these old ones like, boom, boom, boom, you're like the, like the Christmas tree. I think this is what this one was. It's just a, whenever it's up music and it's just the instruments, it just feels like some uncanny fucking death sound to me. It feels like a strange, it feels out of place a lot of the time. Yeah, like something's coming. So here we have coordinator, Barry Johnson photography by Bo Nayler, but the videography is Jack and Mary Dean. Some just move past the screen. Yeah, well, it's a Christmas party. So someone walked by, I did not read like that. That's fucking creepy. Someone really did try the snowman. Oh, okay. All right. Also, whenever this shit happens to whenever stuff happens, do you like relate or like near religious holidays like Christmas or something, it always does feel like it's like God's returning or so. Like it, this feels like now a religious, okay, never mind. Well, that's kind of sound maybe not. All right, maybe that was I could just, I can see people taking this and being like oh it's a second coming or so you know I mean something like that. Yeah, yeah, especially with the planet coming to the earth and all that Nope, I love that nope. I love that nope like a hand. Yep. Nope Nope, not only a head a fucking giant hand The whole fucking roof I say a good lord Okay, all right The knocking at moonlight acres don't answer the door God Nope Like side cabin home of celebrations Yeah, yay Alex Whitler and videographer Jack Dean I'm guessing those are some of the people too that have been standing outside and screaming. Oh, there's Mary. Oh, good Mary It's fun Mary's with us now the jaw and hinges Yay, that one was really good. I like that. That was that was fun. Yeah, that one's killer and then it'll be I'm sure someone put a description, but I remember in my video that that pitch like the the noises you hear is actually speaking slow down Yeah, it's saying Jack. Do you hear me? I have become something else. Yeah, that's right. Oh good So that's Mary Mary went outside as it says Mary opened the door So Mary goes outside gets killed turned into that and then comes back and kills the rest of party goers except Jack Jackson one who left over the Whip River Which is why he's now making like survival videos and ways to try to stay away from him All right, next one my personal favorite home invasion help Which also if you'll notice the different names of the companies, so there's Regnad computing the one which Regnad is the word danger backwards Regnad computing is the one that is speaking to the iris, right? And then you have Optica video And then you have Harbinger technologies, which is almost Harbinger and then the iris told Regnad that the Harbinger guards in vain So it's like the Harbinger is trying to keep these things at bay home invasion help and safety Home invasion can be a daunting and stressful prospect this video tapes intended to ease your stress and prepare you for home invasion step-by-step should the moment arise Keep in mind When does indoors are the most commonly used interests during home invasions cheering that these areas are locked may prevent or slow home invaders allowed for authorities to be called why do you think this is so creepy to let that younger But that younger audience in 2020 like these old informational tapes that are definitely outdated in terms of like people who are watching this stuff, right? The simplicity of it is really impressive with just like you can just take little things And if you'd no sound design enough to just make something like the constant Withering of the tape just like that constant static It like is creating that sense of unease, but I do wonder what is the connection that like brings this younger audience Because you would assume people that are like maybe they're even older than us would be like Oh, I remember this when I was younger and it would be more applicable to that But some people I'm just like wondering why it latched on in such a way So for those people Who like remember it? It's nostalgic, but for people my age I remember watching like these old VHS tapes when I was like four or five But by the time I was like seven DVDs were everywhere. So I Never really had experience with these kinds of things, but I know they existed. So seeing them Created is almost alien, right? Yeah, it's almost like another time it's it's like a it's a world I never really interacted with But I know is out there and now I'm seeing it tell me terrifying stories So both the format and the thing in it are so strange That's really it. That's an interesting perspective because yeah, you can look at it and be like You barely dabbled it you dabbled in it just enough to know that it existed But you never actually like consumed any of that media in a way that was like a lot of people that are younger Well, especially younger now will never know what it's like having VHS on movies like actually before DVDs and stuff and then like popping those And having all these things and it's it's just interesting that it's like little things that maybe you've seen before that just like now are It's just I guess that's what makes it so believable too is that you know it exists, but you are Like it's a good point. You're foreign to it in terms of it just being like almost a different language You know just because all the media that you had was processed through DVDs or even like the internet and stuff So it's just something that exists, but it's a I think it plays into that found footage vibe I think like it plays into the idea that it's like a tape that you're not supposed to have found or something like that I think it's just kind of interesting. Yeah, it's like you're uncovering something forgotten You never came across it. I'm definitely not knocking this it's just it's so simple and it's approach But I was like sitting there thinking about it and it's like these artifact and it's like the it has this uncanny valley with which I think a lot of media now doesn't have like the artifacts on actual film or tape. You don't have that Yeah, more individual formatting and stuff. So it really is this kind of like Just a piece of of obscured or obstructed media that you get to watch or something. It's just pretty interesting Yeah, and like shots like this. I mean are obviously uncanny like the frontlit house everything around it's dark But then I don't know. It's like it's a horror story. Obviously. It's a scary story or whatever that's being told to me by a stranger almost Something that I understand can be real, but I have no experience with so everything about it is very Off-putting in the way you want horror to be off-putting, I guess Number of security systems can be installed in a home including cameras motion detectors and alarms all these systems may be Disabled via blunt force as most home invasions take place at night sufficient lighting can successfully stop a house invader before they even reach the house Following is a list of commonly used methods of entry during home invasions Window entry breaking a window can create easy access into the home note that this will cause noise that may alert prey May alert prey good god audio luring Vocalized intermaking percussive noise against the door may cause prey to be drawn to it allowing for easy access into the home So this is just a literal home invasion tape form like Mary and stuff. Yes Yeah, that's what I like about one of the things I like about it You initially think it's that but when it was explaining like easy ways to keep people out from invading your home It was for the home invader to try to get around those things. Yeah, like when it says these can be disabled via blunt force It's telling them that they can just break secure. Just can break through. Yeah, yeah, burrowing burrowing underneath the homes foundation can create access into the home from below Allowing for easy access between nests the following will explain what to do upon entry into a home and it's like It's for these alien creatures that don't know earth that well like the best way to get into someone's home Locate prey Incapacitate prey. It's pretty cool. That's like what their vision looks like Yeah Enter prey via probiscus That's just so good. I just love how familiar it feels to marble hornets of like Just taking whatever's around you Going outside at night with a flashlight and just making something creepy Well marble hornets like I said was the progenitor to all this stuff, right? So they even just found footage of like people being able to see these things and just be like oh My house looks creepy at night. You know like it's just yeah just use whatever you have on hand. I live how simple it is just it's such a fun Fun way to just proactively make and create something It's kind of like what we were talking about back when you just started YouTube channel that just like want to make things Yeah, or just like you're it's just involved which by this time I'm sure the Gemini guy had a fan base and he's like You know, and then now there's a continued story, but still it's just the idea of like I like the idea of just limitation breeds creativity, man. I'm telling you Yeah You Also 100% this motherfucker lives in like minionapolis or Minnesota or something this shit all screams Midwest coded shit. Oh, okay Already those ethernet courts. No, they're just Fucking nervous systems for ghouls. So good luck in the shape of people Yeah, it reminds me this has similarities to like invasion of the body snatchers almost Yeah, yeah, very very similar How fun is that I Cut that's also just a still and he's just using like probably like a digital program to do an artificial light So I'm probably drive that or a 3D thing of that. That looks great How fun God damn these kids are talented men yeah Don't look at me. I God damn it. I knew it was gonna happen to you son of a bitch. I love that. I love that So it's like they killed the people and then they use these tendrils to like build them up again So they can then well, yeah, it's like it's making that's what I'm saying I love that with the invasion of the body snatchers thing is Taking out the old and basically creating a clone. Yeah, as a replacement is really fun Oh, oh Oh Oh Bound you Yeah, tag your it. I love that one. That's so good. I love it What a good series man. All right, next one crusader probe mission So home invasion one you're saying that one was your favorite right home invasion. Yeah, I just love the tendril guy with the eye looking I think it's so well done. Geneva production company Crusader 5 After 12 long years crusader 5 successfully completed its planetary flyby mission results in a plethora of new data and photographs During its mission crusader photograph Jupiter Saturn and Neptune Jupiter crusader reach Jupiter. Okay. Well, I guess it's ready. I don't know if there's anything there that mattered No, I just took photographs crusader incident timeline allowing the timeline events leading up to and during the crusader incident 1982 crusader approaches Jupiter Colistow the moon of Jupiter Europa moon of Jupiter Hi, oh How about Jupiter smells like shit. Oh, I'm sure December 1985 crusader approaches Saturn Titan Hypothes Tyron Stember 91 crusader approaches Neptune. That's where it lands. I'm pretty sure Do we see anything there for those few frames? I didn't see anything Saturn has 79 moves each with their own unique characteristics during its mission crusader photograph two of these moves. Okay November 19 November 20th 1991 February 92 crusader approaches first cluster Femus Hestia moon of Jupiter Calgia moon of Uranus Sado 1992 crusader approaches um Moon of Iris Sist Umbilical moon of Vittrius Eukus moon of Iris macula moon of Iris Vittrius moon of Iris January of 93 crusader experiences sudden gravitational pull January of 93 crusader enters esophagus grove Sofege grove January of 93 crusader enters respiratory spinal complex Lowers sacralic throat Can you imagine getting these fucking photos? I do it. It's like all right. We better uh get religious or kill ourselves really February 93 crusader approaches conscious mind Oh Well, they did not like that They said they said no more no no no yeah And we're done. I love that May 7th 93 Just zoomed it out of his fucking mind good god October 93 they got kind of look like me too It's ripped apart crusader signal loss for seven months May of 94 crusader approaches earth Crusaders voyage through space has been thrilling for scientists and space enthusiasts to like uncovering hundreds of new exciting possibilities for humanity's future Yeah, I bet yay Who knows what's in store for us next Yeah, I wonder what could happen I also like the uh The implication that it basically like rewired or stole the crusader drone and then sit that back to earth as it's vessel What's interesting to use this next one? So that was the last that had the normal Gemini Home entertainment thumbnails and then this the shift in tendons is the first one that's like they started doing it differently Yeah, I think if I remember right I think that's when channel no channel surfing is just a general point I think there was one that got deleted. There was an early one if I remember That was like about a probe that goes to the bottom of the ocean and finds the hungry eye Interesting lock set that's fun um And I guess it's gone now. I don't know why that or I imagined it which I don't think I did. This is just a playlist yeah Yeah And then channel surfing I'm pretty sure channel surfing it was made around this time. It's just like You can buy it's like you're flipping through the different ads for it I don't think there's anything. Yeah, it's just like an advertisement for the series Anyway, uh, so the next we have shifting tendons Which these I think at this point on it breaks the typical Gemini like format Where it's like oh, I'm watching an infomercial now. It's just footage. That's cool It's a fun evolution of that you Sleep image for Barry Johnson. He was the uh Uh, he was asleep for four minutes This was the guy who was mentioned in the Christmas party. I think along with the deans Well, that's terrifying. Didn't like that. No. Holding room design. Yeah, see there's the little dome again. What the fuck? Yep. Oh Interesting. It's like a box inside of a box there. Barry Johnson assistant at ABC Roger. My boy, he's like Jacob's kid. It's keep him very at bay. Metal door with feeding slot. Oh, okay. Escape hatch. Keep in mind they're calling it a holding room. July 16th, 91, six days into self quarantine. Oh, so this is like an excuse, there's like a self quarantine kind of thing. Yeah. After what happened at the Christmas party, Barry Johnson quarantine himself. Angel, angel. Will you be nine? Barry? Earth Angel is such a good thing for the series, too. I know. I was gonna say that's a fun choice for music there. Nope. Oh, looks like he got looks like a old Barry got deep root disease. Looks like a very showed up for the party. Barry's got a case of the consumption there. Like a six, 91, 27 days, about a month into a self quarantine. I feel like Barry is not doing well. Goddamn, they came and turned they came and turned a light on for the boy. Barry? Oof. All right, well kill it with fire. Sorry, Barry. Yeah. Oh, okay, Barry starting into a shrub. All right, that is where nature's mockery comes from people, deeper disease. Now, Barry is just a, an infested YAM. September 7th, 91, 92 months, 2ish months into quarantine. Staff prepared to enter a holding room following estimated incubation time. Staff are equipped with protective suits to avoid contact with deep root growths. I like this use of the illustrations. It's fun. Or if this is 3D, just like these assets are fun. God damn, Barry is split open. Holy hell. Yeah, Barry's just a fungus now. An interview is performed to assess Barry Johnson's psychological state. What they're going to talk to him right now? Hey, uh-oh. Oh, Barry. Oh, Barry Johnson. Oh, shit. What? I'm sorry. I didn't catch that. Can you repeat it? What did you say that was one, one more time. Please, thank you. As you're like, what's up, Barry Johnson, what's up, Barry Johnson? Can people, I would, if he's like, we can hear you, I'd be like, what? I pretend like you can hear him. I'm sorry. I didn't catch that. Can you repeat it? Please, thank you. As you're like backing up to the, yeah, exactly. All right, Barry. Yeah. Just just one, one more, please. Thank you. We'll try checking on you later. I don't, I can't hear you. I think, I think you're kind of just speaking mumbo jumbo. It'd be fun to do if he was like, are you sure? Oh, let me try a louder following segment, utilized a live feed of Lake Mountabank, Canada during its broadcast, approximately 25 minutes before first attack tonight, mostly cloudy. Lose around 25 lights, no, around 12 with brief harsh winds throughout the night. Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve of 85. So the same time as the party. Oh, okay. All right. Well, that's not good. I think the implication is that was one of the wood crawlers falling to earth. Yeah. Well, one of the thing that fell to earth and then that's the thing that fucking attacked the house or something. Yeah, I think that's the implication. Yeah. So this is, you remember how these had back in the 30s, the camp, yeah, they'll turn on the deal with the men in the suits. Yeah. So May 3rd, 1946, Curtis, come down to the camp this weekend. Fulton and I have devised a plan on how we can continue to uphold the deal without giving into these beans warrant demands. Richards has seen a bear lurking near the boys cabins. We will go out and shoot it. If the statue wants to sacrifice, it will have to settle for this. I'll be upon no longer. Okay. Curtis, I tell you this with complete certainty. If I could do it over again, I would never have made that deal. Glen Arthur. Yeah, Glenn, you probably fucking made a deal with the space devil. You dumbass to sacrifice campers to, yeah. May unknown, 46. Wretched hands, tap my window, a stranger's fangs, scrape the walls. What a fun journal entry. Thanks, dude. Also, it's the forties right thigh, right thigh. It's a big old thigh on Mary. God damn. It's a thick of Nick region underside. Lloyd Michaels. Oh, shit. Lloyd. Lloyd. All boys are just all just fucking sucked in. Christine Hoyt. Well, everyone knows that the party. I'm automated. That's fun. Yeah, I definitely like the guy in the tree in the game. Yep. Darcy Oggin. God damn being able to decipher those faces in this low. Like how the hell you guys knows in this? Mary Dane. That's fun. Glen Arthur. Photo comparison suggests an exponential increase in organism deterioration since mutation. Organism is since lost all resemblance to a bear. So the thing hit earth, you know, took over a bear, it's seen in Jack Wilders thing and then got Mary and then everyone else. Shit. When I run, we're on the last one. Final entry, old three years ago. So who knows when he'll post again, but I assume that it's not over yet. There's still so much information still out there. So yeah. So the first one, the first one said one out of four. Two out of four and then this one's three out of four and four out of four has never been posted. Interesting. I would not speculate on the stools of the mind's worth it. Selected excerpts from the journal of Klin A. Arthur, so the guy who did the deal back in the 30s 13th May 13th 1935. I've seen a vision Oh, it's fun. So he was correct about yeah, then that two didn't shoot out. Yeah, yeah Heavenly visitors May 15th Angels visited me while I slept Ah, gosh, I love that so much the eyes being too far space. Yeah, it's great. And they're just in the suits and stuff How fun is that? What a great take on aliens and stuff too Yeah Who am I that the host of heaven would commune with me The unconscious mind's a door and I hold the key. Oh, dream speakers name yourselves May 23rd vision for my angels a half-living thing grows outside camp I Statue carved in their likeness arms reaching out like a child's June 4th I've been offered a new covenant So yeah, I love that too because like in the bible the covenants were the things like the covenant with Abraham the covenant with David Like these different points where God makes a promise with humanity that he maintains the covenant to Noah or whatever Um, and now it's he thinks that he is now the next prophet He's been given another covenant by these visitors May 1941 Deal is sealed Oh Oh shit, is this like the earliest iteration of the camp? Yep, that's cool. The statue statue made it. It's like this how they reach up That's what they were making sacrifices to Yeah May 46 the deal is broken Which go coincides with that letter we read at the last one. He's like I'm not done being upon Yeah, he thought it was God, but it's not so they kill it bear and for the first time sacrifice a bear instead of a person Oh Wretched hands tap my wit oh Eteration 381 so this is still iterations coming from space, right? Wretched hands tap my window a stranger's fangs scrape the walls sleep beneath the feeding grounds cancer shares a dream Jack heard it again. There's a voice from space Jack do you see me? I've become something else I'm still in here relic of the faithless day Don't leave me you bastards Hold bone grows So with those explanations coming through that makes me think that all of the people that are being assimilated are becoming a part of this High of mind, but every now then they speak out they yell like that was those the original guy yelling I'm still in here. Don't leave me you bastards. So as these transmissions come from space to regnat Every now and then a statement from one of the people who's a part of it breaks through That's yeah fucking terrifying I love this use of like the 40s like 1930s 40s camera like the black and white. That's fun The light show as soon as they stop doing the sacrifice the right way then the lights appeared Oh That's fun. Yeah, that's so good. Look at that. That's so good Oh, it's so cool to see the artist grow too. Yeah How fun is that Best visual so far in the series. How fun is that? Oh, I love that Here it is Jim and I home entertainment so far. That's all we got man still so much. It's cool seeing the The visuals just get I mean like I don't just work really coming into his own. Yeah, Rimea Bodie What a fucking what a G. Hopefully he makes it more he did Yeah, he did a bunch of these Which he started his own channel which I'll pull up in a second But he did a bunch of these graphs that he was posting at the same time that gives more lore About like Jim and I announced his delays falling controversy and then like private letters written from people and stuff like that I mean, there's so much lore to it and like I said he built a whole to get game like you can play lethal Oman Question he made his own channel and then started doing some posts from it. Hold on What was your question whenever people because sometimes I feel like Looking at some of these creators. They take big grits breaks between and I don't know how much of it is them just being like You know am I Is it taking this long or do people start falling out of love with certain projects? Like whenever these things are so ambiguous in large scale Do you think that it do you think it tends to have the creators kind of Box themselves in a bit creatively And then just like or does it also just lend it to be like well. I don't know. I just kind of want to do other shit and then it kind of leaves these These projects open ended or do you think that it is just a thing that like it's intentional amounts of time that are passing through or like You know, you know, I think a lot of it is one. Yeah, I think a lot of it is wanting to branch into other stuff because he had done Gemini for years a long time then it's a two or three year project Yeah, yeah, he just kept like adding and building on to the world And I think he said most of what he wanted to say because with all the pieces we have now You can kind of see the timeline in your head and think about how these things came to be And I can certainly sympathize with the creator wanting to move on to other stuff because right around the time Gemini started to get spaced out. He started this channel where he was doing like more individual projects There's still very similar, but instead of like informational. It's like home video scary stuff, right? Yeah This kind of thing. I love that just to kid it a birthday party with the face ordered out for some reason But yeah, no, I just it seems like these like big scope scale things. It's like really hard to wrap it Which is what I've been finding even with stuff like skittama rink or like these things where it's like creepy Like just kind of ambiguous ideas It's not that they can't lead anywhere, but I do think that like I think it makes it harder to close a project out or I think like you also get like kind of you get Boxed into a certain kind of creative Parameter you have to stay in you know, I mean Yeah, so I can certainly sympathize with him over wanting to yeah, I mean I feel that it's still really fun other stuff It's cool seeing this too because it's it's like I mean this is the first time I've ever seen any of this stuff And I think like It's interesting how similar This is like it feels like this when people look at like horror content in the future. It's like It's just such a specific place and time for this kind of thing And it's always interesting that like found footage always kind of comes back in its own variety in ways, but I'm it's interesting to see how like stuff is evolved since then and like what will be the next kind of thing that like the youth catches on to and that people find That kind of like hooks them in a way to that's an approachable method To making stuff. It's just really cool. It's just like such a it's such a streak in time. It looks like he's I'm looking at his Patreon right now. It looks like starting In January he started doing a series called this week in GHE where he's showing editing progress So it looks like he's working on it again. There you go. Because the last post was three days ago. Oh, fun We'll be sure to look like there's more more on the way be sure to check out his patreon if you want some more stuff I'm sure that he has tons of behind the scenes stuff moving there, but really fun project man. Yeah As it gives gives midwest angelica vibes gets just all these kind of I love how they all kind of feel like they can almost exist in the same universe Which is just kind of cool. Yeah One of the goats maybe cool to see a project check it out again. There's gonna be projects in the future That are all from like cell phone recordings or something there's gonna be something that has to do with like Oh absolutely the way kids do approach cell phones and stuff and I can't even see people like buying old Like iPhones and using those instead of camcorders like the like just the audio like the the visual quality being a little less than super HD But still pretty good. I can see people doing that too. Yeah, I think too like and as analog core goes on It's getting more and more abstractly got got you've got guys like this like doctor nowhere who a lot of their stuff is really weird, strange visuals and drawings, and so I mean, you can see looking at this. I feel like a lot of these people are inspired by weird things. Definitely like David Lynch and that kind of stuff. I look at that stuff like the thing that you just hovered over, that just feels like David Firth a lot too. Yes, it's very David Firth. There's this one he did, the boiled one phenomenon that's the most popular where it's like this, this guy shows up in your dreams and speaks to you. I mean, there's so many different iterations that this stuff's falling into. I mean, there's just a ton of very creative people online who like make some really unique things and it's interesting now with like the backroom we talked about earlier. Hollywood is starting to catch on to it and be like, oh man, there's a lot of money in these things, ain't they? Yeah. Well, I think we'll find two is I think, I think more, more Hollywood's just going to become more, more obsolete and these people are going to be able to like just fully do like a larger scale stuff on their own. How cool is that? That's a great shot. Jesus grace, fuck that. Yeah. Good Lord. This entire, this entire short, the man in the tower is terrifying. It's coming down from the ceiling and getting closer to him. Yeah, very sick. I know I know the creep TVs are kind of hit and miss, but I think it's always a fun break from reading story. It's just cool being introduced to more media like this man. I think it's sick and also I will say that the nipple thief and Lou Begah I think are great horror ideas and out there. And I hope that someone can find appreciation in the in the Lou Begah and the and the nipple thief. There's, I mean, there's so much like I said, this is like my wheelhouse like creepy stuff, you know, so I'm always happy to take a walk down memory lane. And I know I understand like, you know, the format of creep cast on people prefer to listen to these things totally get that. But it's also just fun to, you know, watch some really cool horror series, you know. Yeah. And I, to me, these are all adjacent to even like creep apostas of online people making horror stuff for on communities and stuff. So I think it's cool. It's a nice blend. But guys, that's our creep TV today. We appreciate you. Be sure to check out some more stories. And like we said, we have the SCP 87 reading on Patreon right now if you want to go check that out.
