What's really scary about this episode is the lack of music. When the video started the music sounded like he was doing a paranormal investigation series. But later on the music just became completely silent. I think that's what horror movies are missing, no music sometimes disturbs people. But most horror movies prefer to use Erie music to "scare" you. Also no jump scares. It's better to build up tension then actually just go for the typical FNAF jump scare. (Except there was a jump scare at the end, but that's besides the point)

He's gradually left the "Angry" part behind which is disappointing because that's what made these episodes so great. For a bit he kept it up but I think he found it hard to be angry without manufacturing it too much. I think it also has something to do with the fact that he covered most of the games that frustrated him in his childhood where most of his pent up rage came from.
