Cursed Curios (1985) - Horror Shopping Channel ASMR

#ASMR #Halloween #CursedCurios
Welcome back (in time) for an unusual episode of Cursed Curios, your one-stop television-shopping channel for everything hexed, spooky, or just weird…
This video is part of a teleshopping channel ASMR horror series, but there’s not a story or anything, don’t worry. It’s just become a bit of a tradition for me to release one every Halloween! So, if you haven’t seen the first two, you can watch them here:
Cursed Curios ‘19: • Cursed Shopping Channe...
Cursed Curios ‘20: • Cursed Curios Samhain ...
In this episode, the original presenter of the show, ‘The Curator’, describes and examines several extraordinary - but also extraordinarily cursed - items for you to purchase (some of the curses seem, I don’t know, a little improvised? wink wink). It has a very different audio-visual tone to the previous videos, as well as a much more taciturn, almost menacing protagonist. But hopefully there's still lots of ASMR triggers to enjoy, as The Curator describes each item in a lo-fi, calming, almost hypnotising RP English accent, and often taps or plays with them.
Anyway, you can kinda see the semblance of some chronology to the entire thing - and maybe there’s more to it all than meets the eye? But… if you wanna find out more you’ll have to wait another year lolllll. Enjoy!

🎙 What is ASMR? 🎧
ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is synaesthesia of the soul. It’s a relaxing feeling, it’s a tingling down the spine, or it’s simply a sleep aid. Whether it’s being ‘held’ by someone you have confidence in, or ‘looked after’ by someone with authority, or just feeling ‘safe’ with someone you trust, it uses audio-visual triggers to enable you to let go of your worries and stresses - even just for a bit.
📽 What is FPC? 🎞
FPC (first person cinema) takes all the relaxing elements of ASMR but has much more of a focus on immersion and the suspension of disbelief. It’s kinda like being the main character in your own short movie, with popular figures you know and love, or entirely created worlds - just for you. There won’t be any visible mics or traditional triggers in these videos, and they will seem more unintentional than the usual ASMR videos - but they are unique and relaxing experiences designed to transport you to different places, worlds, and times.
Disclaimer: This video is intended for relaxation. Any views, opinions, or advice expressed is purely for the purpose of entertainment, and to induce tingles through ASMR. These videos are not a substitute for traditional medicine, therapy, or any other professional medium, and should not be treated as such! Take all the advice with a pinch of salt, and certainly don’t take it to heart. That being said, please enjoy them, benefit from them, and hopefully get those warm, tingly feelings. Oh, and it’s not for kids.

I must say I find this retro aesthetic most pleasing. Throwback to the days before ASMR had a name and you used to wonder if anyone else ever experienced this strange sensation.

[@stealthpanther]

My thoughts exactly!

[@kaiser5731]

“BUY IT“ that scared the shit out of me lmao

[@kon2175]

I think this man has just crossed a new frontier of analog horror with this video alone. I mean, it’s something completely new (as far as I know) in a fairly recent genre, and the video itself is amazing. Thank you so much for this, I love analog horror and asmr and this is the perfect most unexpected combination.

[@DebbieDoo217]

Can’t wait to watch. Looking forward to a possible “Skull Fall” and a great deal on some cursed curios.

[@aristedes9449]

The second to last item sounds a lot like it can't predict the wielder's future because, well... One who knows destiny, one who can shape it, has no destiny of their own. One who wields the "rock of clairvoyance" is, arguably, exempt from determinism.

[@sponge540]

"Hi! Society" *Oh boy, I'm gonna be loving this.*

[@lorettabes4553]

Oh, curator! Good to see you ag- 02:54 what the heck was that?

[@stormyweather745]

OMG yes, I have been wondering if you would do another one of these, and I'm so happy that you did. 😍

[@lorettabes4553]

Me too. I love these cursed curious

[@dillonschneider9375]

Another one?! Please show me the original

[@stormyweather745]

@@dillonschneider9375 Just go through Jim's videos it's in there somewhere., but you should know there are two before this one.

[@RinaAudio]

This is so good Jim. I really like the Lo-Fi vibe you put here.

[@andrewthomas3253]

This is it, lads! I've been waiting all year! X3

[@mostlyjovial6177]

AH HA I look forward to a new cursed curios every October. Definitely one of the most original concepts for an asmr vid I've ever seen.

[@ludmillasummers775]

"The child might be a child.....no more" Oh you mean I can skip the preteen and teenage years? Gimme the bloody bag 🤣🤣

[@PallasAthene12]

I had been wishing (but dared not request) that you would do another one of these. My absolute favourite of your ongoing works. I also love that the Judas candle sells for 30,000 (pieces of silver) when you include the VAT. 🤣

[@warped_artist]

Dude that zoomed in “but” scared the frick out of me

[@vortmax1981]

I am so excited to see you've continued the tradition!

[@ladyliberty417]

Love the purse ( who doesn’t want unlimited storage?) but the price is a wee bit high!! Happy Halloween to all🎃👻 Thank you Jim for these witticisms 🖤

[@somewhatdiscrete]

29:19 "for sale: baby shoes, never worn"

[@online2000.]

Truly spectacular, I had to say that before I go to bed that I find this incredibly unique. The editing choices, the colouring, the audio, the old film camera and grain, the idea itself of “cursed curios” is super fascinating. It gives off the feeling almost of analogue horror, and I love it so much. You have a spectacularly creative brain up there

[@tammyv.asmrcattailsotherstorie]

The tradition returns! Scariest thing is I think I actually had a purse like that back in the 80s. 😄

[@hitokage4]

Gosh, I own that beautiful cat curio already. Glad to know it's been protecting me all this time! ...I've definitely used one or two of those saves.

[@tylers.4481]

Thank you so much, Jim! This series is undoubtedly one of my favorite series of videos which you’ve made, and I appreciate your willingness to have continually released a video every year, for the past few years, in commemoration of Halloween. May you have a happy Halloween!

[@StudentNurseDean]

This was perfect for Halloween. It wasn't some cliche Halloween trope. And your voice and the ambient noise were perfect!

[@LupinTelegar]

I just want to say Jim that your ASMR channel is truly fantastic. The range and amount of high quality content is, frankly, astounding. Thank you for providing us with this and for the amazing effort you put in. I hope you have a spooky Halloween!

[@mariamcgee4462]

It reminds me of an Open University program that you'd watch about 3 o'clock in the morning when you'd just come drunk from a night out. 😆

[@bigd4746]

I am curious about the curator’s new “hair” style?🤔

[@ratman5225]

Man u pump these quality videos one after another. Hope u take care u self so we can watch more great content!

[@DunkinDeeznuttz]

The bottle of whiskey would be the ultimate assassination tool for a politician trying to make negotiations with a warring state go off without a hitch

[@maudejacobs773]

Oh yes, this is my favourite series (as everything spooky and weird :D) Thank you!

[@leahnelson9636]

*pops on this vid in the background of some uni homework* ...."unlimited whiskey, perfectly aged" .... *ears perk up* I must buy this cursed object now!!

[@sleepyjae4685]

28:05 gave me a mini heart attack. A very ASMR jump scare 😭

[@Robin_Goodfellow]

I love that your content is varied and interesting enough that it could believably be on several TV channels

[@saintsea-hat7891]

Including everyone’s favorite series, Hi! Society

[@Ms.Robot.]

These special effects are way cool. ❤️ I would LOVE to see you do a vintage, twighlight other dimensionly netflix movie like this.

[@astupidface1645]

OH MY GOD IT’S BACK!!!

[@Blank587]

The cursed curios videos have always been my favorite! Another perfect one!

[@CephalonF]

Cat seems like a win-win. It would require you to avoid death at least once for the curse to start working anyway so even if you don't get to use all 9 lives it will be a worthy 1up.

[@anntares172]

The variety of your characters and stories is astounding! Things I didn't even know I wanted!

[@rhiannajanepike]

this made me jump a couple of times! top notch stuff as ever, Jim :)

[@user-vi7yy8ym5s]

2:50 - WOW, IT SCARED ME SO MUCH

[@RyanBowie1]

The effort you put into every single video is astonishing!!! Holy cow.

[@moonjourney5769]

I was hoping you would do another one this year, so excited!

[@ye_clapped_6974]

I Wasn’t expecting a prequel

[@ChannelCzarovski]

YO! i was just thinking about the previous cursed curios vids this morning. can't wait to watch this 1!

[@vidoxi]

you are the most underrated asmrtist out there. cant believe you dont have 10x as many subs.

[@syn502]

This is such an amazing video and it deserves so much more attention

[@charliebence7902]

Love the spooky lo-Fi vibes in this

[@floormee]

*drops everything* I’M SORRY, WHAT?! This is one of my favorites that you do!!

[@geekychannel2543]

Eyyy fantastic. I'm super happy this got a 3rd edition, looking forward to many more

[@ashlynboone_]

OH MY GOD that first "channel" on the TV 👀 Does this mean Season 2 of Die Society is coming soon?

I am still potentially interested in the bell, but I may need the purse so I don't misplace my children.😂👌

[@charliebence7902]

Ok so I was getting all nice and chill and dozing off and then “a child perhaps” just made me snort laugh 🤣

[@axelcior]

Tuning into Cursed Curios is a halloween tradition! Time to get some cursed deals!

[@stealthpanther]

Such a unique and cool style of asmr. I like it a lot. Also, I myself have that cat statue as well 😁

Best part of october waiting for the cursed curios videos 👌🏼👌🏼

[@peepnox7747]

Like the retro look

[@evan6463]

Hell raiser vid for Halloween????😏😏😏

[@DISammi]

I noticed that if I turn the quality to 240p it gives a smoothness to the lofi look.

[@bjrnarleevolden8101]

This guy’s a genius and a visionary, but are the pixels authentic to the year? I thought that digital video wasn’t a thing or at least not that widespread in 85. So wouldn’t it be grainy from the tape rather then compressed and pixelated. Are there any experts here? I would love to know.

[@Vaudevillainsimprov1]

TVs were not high def in the 80’s, and sometime the signal wasn’t good, especially if it was a public assess channel or a non cable channel.This looks exactly what some channels looked liked in the 80’s (yes I am a child of the 80’s)

[@bjrnarleevolden8101]

@@Vaudevillainsimprov1 Ok, so the pixelation is authentic. Cool.

[@charlieniven6558]

Amazing effort

So wait if I put a bunch of pennies in the purse will I be guaranteed to get money worth more back out?

[@largelump3613]

Amazing video. You should make movies

[@franknfurter11]

I’ve been dying to shop!

[@saurophaganax_0]

Nice tie

[@DebbieDoo217]

This one was interesting. If there was a reason for the blond wig, let me know. Perhaps based on a popular shopping network character of the day? Cursed Curios ‘20 is by far my favorite.

[@artgirl96]

Very amazing 🥰
