I love horror as a genre, but I am so worn out by horror as content. My halloween special talks about feeling fatigued from horror as content, as opposed to just disliking horror media.
I feel that seeing so many ENDING EXPLAINED and FULL TIMELINE OF FNAF lore videos are a byproduct of the desire to just passively consume something and that's fine - my issue is that with horror content specifically, trying to ground the unfathomable and unknowable concepts of cryptids, creatures & settings into digestible packages also destroys my suspension of disbelief. That's my own problem, but that's why I fnd it hard to enjoy a lot of horror because it gets dissected and watered down before I can even blink.
A lot of great horror is still being made like Pearl, RE4R, Fear and Hunger, and Signalis, so I want to dismantle my jaded demeanor and (re)learn to love the genre I cherish the most.

My latest video is about a game I absolutely love, Lethal Company.
This video talks about how its atmosphere is both hilarious and horrifying. Most co-op horror games lose their charm once your friends become super good at it, that isn't the case here. The game is chaotic to the point that risk mitigation is a pipe dream. Its flawless proximity chat, simple gameplay loop & charming presentation constitute one of the best horror multiplayer games in existence and it's only been two months.
