Worst part is, it probably didn't know what the words meant. Only that it was said in a friendly tone, and it was probably trying to mimick it only because it didn't know that the words meant something specific.

[@KrazyStargazer]

One of my favorite ideas is the idea that Dinosaurs may have been able to mimic voices. Given how similar we know they are to birds...and we know parrots and even ravens/crows can mimic human speach... It's not to hard to imagine a dromaesaur doing the same. Just picture walking alone at night. You hear a human like voice wailing. You run to go assist only to find a gigantic bird monster ready to pounce at you.

Paleohorror that isn't directly trying to copy from Jurassic Park (*cough* 65) is a severely untapped subgenre, there is so much that can be done with our modern understanding of dinosaurs that can build up great slowburn horror. The Dromaeosaurs being intelligent, persistent, and studious hunters basically trapping people in their homes is so freaking scary, but also the fact that they are still behaving like *Animals* is another contributor--Screaming monsters that suicidally throw themselves at prey a la Jurassic World are formulaic and easy to predict. These dinosaurs are cautious and planning, making it hard to pin down what they might do. 100/10, inject this type of content directly into my veins.

[@matthewmitchell5636]

Also since I am a massive dinosaur nerd I feel the need to list the probable identities of each animal: Big Bird/Window Monster = DMuted already popped that bubble but it's definitely a Dromaeosaurid. Given the size it's likely Utahraptor. Small Bird Monsters = This is a bit harder to tell. Definitely something Paravian, potentially fledgling dromaeosaurs? However the drawings showing them flying could pen them as something like Archaeopteryx? Wing Monster = Almost definitely a Pterosaur. The "spindly" description is a dead ringer for an Azhdarchid pterosaur specifically. Bat Monster = Another pterosaur, specifically an Anurognathid. Basically a feathery frog with bat wings, they're adorable. Crest Monster = This is hard to say solely from the picture. The size if the crest makes me want to guess some kind of Tapejarid pterosaur, like Tupandactylus? Window Monster's Killer = The deep vocalizations and being able to shatter deer antlers as well as kill the very big dromaeosaurs makes me want to think it could be a Tyrannosaurid of some kind. EDIT: Catching up on the thread and Archesuchus' media tab, the Crest Monster is confirmed as Thalassodromeus (a Tapejarid) and there is definitely a Tyrannosaur in this story.

[@personismaybe0610]

My knowledge of dinosaurs is a little rusty, but that does sound very close to what I was thinking (admittedly not as specific as your theories).

[@thewoollyviking5928]

Honestly if this was to be adapted into a screenplay would they even need that big a budget for the monster effects? I’m sure to make some convincing and accurate dromeosaur suits and puppets you could coast by at under 1 million dollars. Especially if you hide the imperfections with clever lighting and camerawork.

Dino/Animal/Monster IDs for those who want to know: - the Window Monster is a large Dromeosaurid, possibly Dakotaraptor or something similar (EDIT: I've recently learned that the original mask is supposed to be a Troodontid, probably one of the larger ones from Alaska that might not have a proper name yet) - The "small mutant birds" might be the actual babies of the Window Monsters, as they seem too small to be adult Velociraptors (actually roughly turkey-sized) or even adult Troodontids or Compys - Crest Monster is most likely some variety of Tapejarid pterosaur (they had big weird crests likely for display), and it most likely didn't do anything to the neighbors, it's just taking advantage of the situation to hide inside their patio - the Lanky Thing on the Roof might've been some kind of Azhdarchid pterosaur (which were basically carnivorous giraffe-storks, the largest & most famous member of their family being Quetzalcoatlus, though this one is likely a much smaller species) - the small Bat Monster on the screen door is definitely an Anurognathid pterosaur (which were small & fluffy with big eyes, very cute & round) - the thing that killed one of the Window Monsters and makes the rumblings that silence even the insects is a Tyrannosaurid, more specifically a Zhuchengtyrannus (which was significantly smaller than T. rex but still big enough to eat you in 1 or 2 bites); it shows up in person later in the thread.

[@novastein9567]

I haven't checked the thread yet to confirm If this was a tyrannosaurid, but could it have been a ceratopsian? With their beaks, I could see one taking Off the head of a dromie. Tyrannosaur is still more likely, but hey, could be. Also, I suspect the tapejarid to be a thalassodromeus or related animal. The crest shape matches Up, and they were terrestrial and large enough to likely go after humans too

[@darkonyx6995]

@@novastein9567 It's actually Tupandactylus, Thalassodromeus was a carnivore and the shape of the crest was different, it certainly would have attacked Archeosuchus, Tupandacylus was frugivore, the crest shape matches and the color of the crest matches with the color discovered on the fossils of these pterosaurs. Also, neither were terrestrial pterosaurs.

I happen to be a huge dino fan, so I'ma try and identify the creatures featured. The "Window Monster" is a type of dromaeosaur, a family of dinos consisting of raptors, and a bunch others. In fact, the other dino, the smaller ones, at least to me, seem to be a raptor known as microraptors. Now, the other "dinos," actually aren't dinosaurs, they're flying reptiles, pterosaurs. The "Wing Monster" is definitely the one on the roof, but I don't know what it is. The "Bat Monster" seems to be an anurognathus. I know that's not really helpful and pretty obvious but felt like saying it. Also I'm happy you brought this to my attention, I'm so happy that someone is utilizing dinosaurs for horror.

@@pogcastclips7878 I could only assume the crest thing is also the pterosaur on the roof, "Wing Monster."

If I had to make a guess it might be a member of the tapejaridae family.

[@Number_1_Fin_Fang_Foom_Stand]

A list of species I think are present in the series: 1. Big Birds - clearly a large dromaeosaur, the exact species isn't given but my guess is that it could be Utahraptor. No completely solid guesses yet (note that Arche could have confirmed its species, and I just haven't seen that post yet). 2. Flying blue monsters - appear to be two species of pterosaurs. One small and a species of Azhdarchid. No clear looks at them or their species have been seen yet. 3. Small furry creature - Judging from the looks, it appears to be an Anurognathus. 4. Roof Monster - This could be either a pterosaur or a different species of theropod. Unsure since no clear look was given and the only detail we got was spindly. 5. Bat-like screen door monster - Definitely an Anurognathus, no question about that. 6. Crest monster that trashed the Neighbor's porch - Thanks to that massive crest I believe that it could be a Tapejara. 7. Monster that killed a Big Bird - Not seen but considering how all animals go completely silent, it's highly suggested to be a large predator. (Note that Arche has implied it could be a Tyrannosaurus rex or other large theropod in its weight group). 8. Large shadow monster that chased Arche - This species has been confirmed by Arche to be a Zhuchengtyrannus. 9. Monster that was breathing on the window - A sauropod! I don't know how big Arche's house is supposed to be, but I am pretty sure that could be a Titanosaur. Rather its younger specimen or a smaller species is yet to be seen. 10. Dead monster in a tree - Appears to be a smaller dromaeosaur, could be a younger Big Bird or smaller dromeosaur species. 11. Monsters with glowing eyes - Probably small carnivores that function in large mobs or groups. 12. Flashing & glowing lights that sink badly - Could be rips in time or time-based anomalies that are bringing dinosaurs into the modern world. However, they could also created by a living thing or are living things themselves which could be purposefully placing these extinct animals in our time. No clear explanation has been given yet. 13. Small slightly friendly black bird-like monster / Mikey - Appears to be a Microraptor. 14. Monsters with glowing eyes that live in the ceiling - Most likely the same creatures as the Monsters with glowing eyes. 15. Small skittish bird monsters - Putting this last since they appear to be multiple species filling the same role. Appear to be a mixture of small theropods, baby / juvenile carnivores, & primitive birds. Here's to hoping we see more dinosaurs and other creatures done by Archesuches because this series is pretty great. I hope that we can see other large carnivores (mainly my favorites Tyrannosaurus rex and Spinosaurus).

[@arthurgodwin6571]

What's great about the talking is the idea that maybe a raptor could mimic a human's vocals the same way as a modern bird like a parrot does. Except when a parrot does it, it's cute. When something does it to try and trick and predate upon you, it's terrifying. There was something similar in a novel called The Flock, in which surviving terror birds could do the same thing.

[@AntediluvianGirl]

As someone who's favorite fossil Pokemon is Archeops(based on the Archesuches, which you pronounced perfectly btw) all I needed was "large leathery face" "mane of feathers" and "big bird" to clock that this was dinosaur horror which I coincidentally happen to LOVE! Safe to say I'm hyped

[@rext.b.4436]

Dunno if someone’s already mentioned this but my absolute favorite Twitter horror thread story is definitely The Sun Vanished. That shit was soooooo good. Tho, the amount of people that thought it was stupid and fake was mind numbing. Like, no shit.

[@trixie7759]

So glad to see more Paleohorror popping up! It’s been on a bit of a kick of it lately and it makes me so happy to see more of it!!

[@gedeonnunes5626]

Since Jurassic Park sequels missed the chance, someone had to come up and do justice to feathered dinosaurs and make them scary. Great stuff!!!

[@Marsdog02]

The person who said feathered dinosaurs aren't scary after I release multiple 5 foot dromaeosaurs on their property (oh huh they seem pretty scary now don't they?)

The first audio actually scared the heck out of me, because I could only hear it out my right ear and it sound like it was coming outside my window. I had to rewind multiple times to make sure it was coming from this video. Good job on the audios, Archie-!

[@SharlaBlades]

Oh bow THIS was such a welcome find! Digital horror threads about donosaurs are great! I've always loved dinosaurs! So this is such an awesome idea!

[@Shyguy-3300]

There has been a few horror threads like this almost like the Daisy one and The Sun is Missing. It’s kinda cool to see this almost like a world is kinda being shown through Twitter.

[@kaixy3]

19:45 I am literally hearing those noises right now💀

[@trilobite3120]

20:27 They're based on Deinonychus, which was classified as a species of Velociraptor in the book Michael Critchon used as reference from what I've heard.

[@28godzilla]

“There’s a stench coming from outside” this guy really did his research on what the earth smelled like millions of years ago from the light portals.. all the gas from the earth may have made the earth a very smelly place back then.

[@jennyfeare1702]

Please do cover more after another good chunk of this nightmarish adventure continues, love this coverage!

[@AyumuKasuga-1]

ahhh yes, the archie's arg. what can i say? its beautiful. i just love how the dromaeosaurid (im going to assume it is a utahraptor, achillobator or a dakotaraptor) can mimic voices, that was so creative PLEASE YOU DAMN DROMAEOSAURID DON'T DIE

[@joeligma4721]

it's not an ARG

[@MidnightDrake]

It's definitely not a Utahraptor. Way too small for a Utahraptor. Call me a madman, but I think they're Deinonychus.

[@C0ldD1rective]

​@@joeligma4721Don't be that guy. It's basically an ARG.

[@nightmarexgaming120]

@@MidnightDrakeI agree

[@DuranMK2]

I like the fact that, even before the child's drawing, the very first image shows there's another of the initial dinos, as you can see the reflection of light in it's eyes just a little to the right of the more obviously visible creature's face.

[@pazzieanneknexx809]

Btw - the scrawled out writing says "I like to feed them" on the drawing with more of the monsters. The "like to" is squished up in the winged monsters in the sky.

[@agent5333]

That one art of the guy hitting the dino with a broom like it’s an oversized goose is hilarious tho.

[@Cryodrakon2]

It is though, an oversized goose with teeth

[@RegulusBringer]

​@@Cryodrakon2 Geese actually already have teeth. So yes, it is basically a big goose.

[@mothmyszalgo]

nah this was absolutely amazing watching this unfold on Twitter

[@smookthecat]

18:07 this seems like the noises emus make when they are angry but super low. Going off the dinosaurs are related to birds thing, it could make sence

[@phantommedia6589]

I forget at which point it was (I think the first photo) but I immediately went "Oh this is about dinosaurs isn't it" and I was not disappointed

[@Skidibibapbap]

Arch NEEDS to make a horror movie abt dinosaurs bc this is too good to be just a simple twitter thread

[@jblask2]

Dino horror just hits different. More of that please!

[@Al.ishaaan]

17:41 i think its a tyrannosaurus that kill the other window monster because it has been confirmed by paleontologist that t rex actually sounded like these

[@pyr0.04]

I'm loving the possibility for a Rex.

[@CyberSpider35]

Also if nothing else Arch's nickname and avatar is a dead giveaway his story will be about dinosaurs.

[@doomguy19931]

"Arch finally reveals what the object was, and it's a horrifying realization." Me: Let me guess, pet cat or small dog. No reason to call the poli- 10:41 Me: OH. OKAY.

[@justyouraverageweirdo]

It's been so fun watching this unfold on twitter after it showed up on my feed randomly I think only a couple posts into the story.

[@foolsgold_2558]

the dinosaur props and the audio are really well made this guy has some talent

[@homiet-rex]

God where’s the ARC team when you need them. Scariest dinosaur media I think I’ve ever witnessed, very awesome! hope they continue it.

[@MrKaiju797]

I like how Arche went into speculative mode with the abilities of these dinosaurs that are pretty unique to this Dino horror series, yet still being scientifically plausible. I mean tell me, when have you seen a dinosaur horror where the raptors FREAKING TALK

[@DoveReaperNoir]

makes sense that there's 2 in the drawing cause in the first picture there's a second set of glowing eyes behind the creature

[@The-Ent1ty]

"Hey, over, here," "I, am, hungry" And I think it was trying to repeat the second line but couldn't say "-gry" and sounded like it ws laughing

[@wallacelane4193]

It was mimicking. the boy. It said, are you hungry? You want a hot Dog It was the last thing the boy said.

[@The-Ent1ty]

@@wallacelane4193 Dude, I know that... by the second picture the kid drew. I only made that comment incase if someone couldn't hear what was being said

[@nerdyscifibirdy6488]

I was hoping somebody would cover this Twitter thread! It’s so good!

[@filippachta1201]

17:27 ok this was creepy, after the noise the crickets that i keep for my tarantula and bearded dragon stopped chirping after they would not shut up the entire day......

[@namehere4922]

Of all the things to be covered by a horror channel, this was absolutely the last thing I expected

[@Tamajyn69]

This is quite entertaining and well made, i'm here for creepypastas irl to get people riled up haha

[@davidbash3388]

I really like this series so far, even though I feel like it jumped the gun in some parts. Mainly referring to the Kid's foot and the decapitated Window Watcher head. I think the part with the kid's foot could have been replaced with the remains of a local pet, and a piece of the collar found in the pellet. And instead of the decapitated head, I'd use like a piece of wing or a foot or something.

[@brendenkong625]

That vocalization is so creepy. I could only really make out the words "Hungry" and "Yeah." I wonder how Arch made the effect, it sounds like a legitimate bird is making the sounds but it could've been just him mixing samples of his voice with bird sounds. Whatever it really is, it sure is creepy. I think scientifically up to date dinosaurs bring a new kind of primal I'm being watched kind of horror and I love that there's creators making this kind of stuff.

[@greedygreen8269]

the most unbelievable thing about it is a dude with Archesuchus as a nickname saying "strange animals" instead of "they kinda look like dinosaurs" from the very beginning

[@Girl-Supersonicboy]

People in the thread are posting pics and commenting "This you?" with OP in their mask. People can't enjoy a little analog horror without trying to one up the creator, when this is clearly just a fun story playing out...

[@SkieLoon]

See, I wish we got cool perspectives like this in Jurassic World. Give us the actual horror elements of a story and world like this and it'd be SO COOL.

[@titanuskolasaurus2050]

If there was one thing, I wasn’t expecting to see on the channel, it’s covering dinosaurs and paleo. I’m not complaining though.

[@katagon]

I've been wanting a horror series with scientifically accurate dinosaurs for YEARS now and it looks like this thread gives me exactly what I've been wanting! Love all the attention to detail! If I had to take a guess as to what the dinosaur making the low rumbly noise was, I'd say it's likely a T. Rex or some other large therapod, as we've found that they likely made incredibly low vocalizations similar to those of cassowaries. In other words, this guy's probably screwed!

[@H_3_R_0-]

I really hope jurassic goes down a route like this one day. especially since fallen kingdom and dominion where dinosaurs are just around the world now, it has so much potential for smaller more personal horror situations where humans encounter dinosaurs.

[@slipspacesurvivalist9416]

God, the "wrong talking" gave me the fucking chills. lol Well done, @Archesuchus ...

[@vickit9190]

I've seen enough furry suits to understand that the 'raptor head' is a mask. Love the story though!

[@super8ben]

Always good to see new horror stories posted in unexpected ways. Haven’t seen one like this since The Sun Vanished.

[@the_death_phantom533]

Actually, JP's raptors are based on Deinonychus not Utahraptor (Utahraptor wasn't named until after Jurassic Park had released).

[@ImBarelyMe]

I was going to comment about how insane it is these props, but the more I watch this video, the more I have to say, whether all are props, or all edited, it’s still an immense amount of talent, I am blown away

[@swarple]

Dinosaur horror? So cool! I was obsessed (and I do mean obsessed) with paleontology as a kid. I would say that kid me would be thrilled, but I was so easily frightened back then that I probably would’ve ended up with nightmares, lol

[@DragonLovingGirl6]

The not-human sounds sound like they're trying to say 'Are you hungry?' and maybe 'help' and 'stop it'. I think it's imitating the moments the neighbour kid was feeding it (and got eaten). Also those long, drawn out sounds suggest something big. I once read that big dinosaurs like Trex would have made sounds so low you could moreso feel than hear them. Maybe that's why it sounds almost like deep breathing, because the breathing is at a frequency we can hear.

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

Let it be known that anyone who claims that anatomically/physically accurate dinosaurs aren't scary is absolutely out of their mind. This stuff is more terrifying than Jurassic Park's sad excuses for dinosaurs. Also, t-rexes would not be our biggest concerns because we're just too small for them to consider us to be a worthy meal. Raptors? Now that's more concerning....

[@CherryBotV2]

i think the reason crickets stopped chirping while the louder vocalizations happened is because its some type of tyrannosaur making the sounds and its theorized that their vocalizations were extremely loud and could partially paralyze other animals!

[@theknightwithabadpictotall7639]

I'm gonna be surprised if anyone DIDN'T figure out it was about dinosaurs before the end of the video

[@christosdoesthings]

i kinda skimmed through this video and seeing you describe a literal dinosaur as "the entity" "the monster" stuff like that without seeing you prefacing it with "i will revel what it is at the end" had me laughing a lot.

[@error-try-again-later]

Let's all just take a minute to be grateful that we don't live in this universe.
