Nostalgic Horror: Making Your Memories Scary

[@Cresendex]

If you stumbled across this video you are either a channel regular who got curious or someone who stopped by, in both cases stop right here because this is the 3rd video I've ever made and it sucks lol

[@wowowowowowowowowowowowowowoww]

😅❤

[@saigesplayce3915]

Man, it didn’t suck, it was great! Seriously, if you wrote down the script for a compilation of these videos, you could make a book out of this. I would definetly buy it.

[@justanormalguy4176]

For one of your first videos, i think it's actually really good. Great job!

[@PunmasterSTP]

Hey no, I don't think it sucks one bit!

[@merrimentis]

What are you talking about? This video is so interesting! The beginning immediately captivated my interest and evoked feelings within the first minutes. You underlined your thoughts so well, it's like reading a good book. The only thing that I thought should be improved is leaving some short breaks in between to process everything, a few minor pauses. But you're already doing that in your newer videos. Every thought here fit well into the rest of the video and the way you put them into words and your style of talking makes the whole video just entertaining. Sure you've progressed and gotten better since this video, but I wouldn't downplay this in the least!

im so glad that people nowadays are trying to make videos on feelings ive had brewing in me for so long with no way to describe them. thank you so much

[@berto4472]

i know EXACTLY what you mean, i used to think i was the only person who saw these things and the fear and feelings that came with them was some kind of curse that i had to bear

[@nowayy_64]

dude ngl I am amazed how good your content is for a channel of this size. excited to see what you make in the future!

[@Cresendex]

Thanks! Comments like this motivate me more then you can imagine.

[@doodleman7747]

Constraints certainly inspire creativity, especially during times when computing was limited. To see such an older style of horror games be embraced is satisfying, as even something like the camera is utilized in a modern horror game.

[@Cresendex]

My point exactly, I love seeing the older style embraced in modern video games

[@redcarkyle123]

I often feel this sense of emptiness and unese when I go back and replay some of my super old Roblox games and Minecraft worlds.

[@Fosi94]

Minecraft as childhood. I'm getting old, save me

[@KyanoAng3l0_Mtvtks]

Ppl calling Minecraft their "childhood" makes me feel older. I was in my 1st year in college when I discovered Minecraft (2009). Back then, it was considered "retro-style" by peers. Some classmates thought I was playing an old obscure Java game.

[@minty2_b]

i can't wait for the future when there will be content like this for 2015 - 2019 (when i was a kid) it's fun to see this old nostalgic things and horror nostalgia but it's just a few years too early... but that means that pretty soon, maybe even this year, they will be making videos like this but for 2017

[@Cresendex]

I have no doubt that in a few year's time there will be nostalgia for things like TikTok and even the 2015-2019 era

[@SpecialInterestShow]

Well sometimes I start to feel old but then I put on the good ol' Skibidi Toilet playlist and I suddenly feel so much younger for finding it funny

[@bottombarrelbudgetfilms1854]

I like nostalgic horror for the simple but effective vibe that "it's not just too late, it's wayyyyyyyyy too late"

[@meothe]

Absolutely well done sir, you’re way of speaking and presenting what you want to say is amazing! I can tell you out a lot of effort into these videos!

[@thesethshow07]

Looks like I found a new favorite video essay channel

[@shamsia7758]

Fear is universal, but the way a kid fears, and what they fear, Is different than am adult's. This kind of nostalgia makes us face the fears we forgot, or gives us new ones, when we revisit as adults.

[@dimented]

Aw man I sure can't wait to watch what definitely ISN'T JUST Sagan Hawkes "The Rise Of Digital Horror: Making Nostalgia Scary" !

[@TheRealPhantomStalks]

THATS LITERALLY WHAT I WAS THINKING

[@ZaTheLean]

Ikr 🗣️🔥

[@lincsmash6795]

BRO I LOVE THIS CONTENT SO MUCH

[@Cresendex]

And I'll keep making more of it

[@doodleman7747]

The introduction reminds me of the first time I had ever played Minecraft. Once having played on my very first tablet after having my older brother purchase it, and what I can still remember to this day is that the sawmill had existed.

[@vanta9378]

I was gonna skip to the end but the running commentary made me watch the whole thing 😂

[@willthechill3992]

I'm glad you're channel exists, I discovered you for your liminal spaces video, but stayed for all your other content. Much love for your videos

[@joewasowski2728]

Yeah, it’s a lot like how people feel with liminal spaces. It’s the sense of unease

[@Cresendex]

Exactly, although liminal spaces are more of a point of transition, though nostalgia does play a big part.

[@PunmasterSTP]

I didn't even know Boomer Shooters were a thing; this video was really cool and informative!

[@Kawazato]

Just watched your Video about Liminal Spaces and i gotta say i feel your point, backrooms got a bit meh with all that entity stuff. Pretty good view on the Liminal aspects, i think you hit the nail. Sadly its hard to yourself get the Liminal feeling irl without any pictures Online nowadays

[@KyanoAng3l0_Mtvtks]

To some '90s kids who played Doom on the PS1, tho, it was actually a horror game, or at least felt like it. PS1 Doom was basically classic Doom but with more dynamic lighting for levels and Aubrey Hodges' more horror-themed ambient soundtrack, which gives it a more creepy and foreboding atmosphere. There was also Doom 64, an unofficial followup to Doom II which shares the PS1's soundtrack and lighting but also has more detailed and darker PS1-era graphics and gameplay elements that make D64 play more like a horror game even tho it's still original Doom in its core. The sprites were based on pre-rendered high-poly models; I think the '90s 3D look makes the enemies look more creepy/unsettling, and I love it. To fellow '90s kids who wanna re-experience Ultimate Doom and Doom II on PC with the aforementioned horror elements, there are mods you can try out like Aubrey Hodges Jukebox, D64ifier, and Brutal Doom 64 V2.666.

[@kattybratt1353]

i think a big reason is the old graphics cause you to imagine more about what the things youre surviving actually look like. you will always imagine the scariest thing when watching horror

[@mufmager]

Bro forgot to pay for windows key activation 😭😭

[@Fosi94]

Great channel

[@lonely_outcast_soul]

I feel like games with bad graphics give me more sense of escape than ones with perfect graphics lol

[@t460p]

Someone send this man a copy of windows.. you deserve it man..

[@BramptonHughes]

I think people like the older look because it reminds us when it was newer to us. Games are not that good now because it’s nothing new . Just feels recycled .

[@lava.a4595]

Goated videos

[@ISwalllowedAFly]

Why does bro slightly sound like MatPat?

[@Noodledoodlethatpoodled]

[@Cresendex]

[@Just-some-bird07]

Minecraft is around 15 years old. Do you feel old?

[@thelazylunar]

[@Rieleyhunt]
