[@QuiteSimplyInsane]

Y'know I'm kind of getting annoyed at people calling the Main Character dumb for acknowledging the creature- I mean you would too. He remains quiet, he listens to the tv, and was actually respectably brave when the monster was banging on the door, yet when you've got a monster right next to you, you'd probably slip up and stare. Amazing work

[@sneezer8620]

Yes! Fear of the unknown is a big play here. Even though we the audience see the monster, our protagonist doesn't. And the most realistic reaction is likely looking at it. It's not like you could just act along with the ominous TV message literally 30 seconds before the monster enters in. That's obviously super unrealistic. We're all human after all. We get curious.

[@HanabiSh1]

Agreed, sometimes curiousity wins the best of us. He was in fear and an instict probably told him to look as he tries his best to avoid it pretending everything was fine, but in the end he accidentally stared at it before looking away, but it had caught him already.

[@QuiteSimplyInsane]

@@HanabiSh1 we fear what we don’t know

[@HablaGino]

How the heck could we win this game? I mean, the monster just keep look at the man so closed, it really wouldn't kill him if he just act like it isn't there? If it's true, I would pretend that I didn't see it, so I'll get up, turn the television off, go to the coach and sleep, so I will have a lullaby to closed my eyes. I'm pretty sure that the monster will kill me even if I play it perfectly, but I'm not sure

I agree with all the positive comments everyone else is leaving on this - but on top of that, I actually found the monster reveal to be creepy as all hell! The size of the thing, the way it just hung there in front of him... I don't know, it just hit right for me. I guess I get immersed in stuff like this real fast, and it's easy for me to imagine how I'd feel if I had to sit still and act natural while that thing is hovering in front of me, but even then I think that speaks to the strengths of your presentation.

[@Crimson-Hat]

I clicked this not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised at how good and downright scary this was. the constant building dread of what is out there is flawless. The only bad thing I can say is if you had not shown the monster and kept it in a 1st person view the entire time, it would have been a better end. Leave the design of whatever horror did all this too the imagination because the mind can come up with something much more scary without seeing the monster.

[@Surkee]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@shitanotosaurus]

idk about that, if I don't know what it looks like its pretty hard to be scared of it for me. mainly because my mind isn't the greatest at making up designs and so it can't really imagine anything.

[@joro8693]

I will agree that you should hide the monster until the very end but not showing it at all doesn’t work on everyone and will end up wondering why they should be scared most times. My favorite horror movie is the Blair witch but a ton of people hate it as well.

There's no animals in sight, no bird chirping or even mosquitos in summer. When i went there with my friends i drove trough the forest. I started smelling a strong metallic smell and looked on the road there were candles on the side of the road. I continued further and i saw someone moving on the road i stopped and it was some man. I asked him what was he doing and does he need a ride. He Said he's good and continued walking.

One of the worst fears to experience is the fear that something is horribly wrong. That somewhere out there, something *could* happen to you, but there's no guarantee. This is the fear of emergency alert systems. That tight, constricting anxiety that makes you want to run, but knowing that running could not help, the fear that things will never be the same, the fear that you aren't safe. That the comforts of home can't protect you. That the only thing you could do is to follow instructions, hide, and pray.

[@tatan1300]

You can tell when a horror is a good one, you can see how the background and story is told, and the sense of uncanny. It makes you think how you would feel/do in that kind of situation. I'm looking forward to seeing more

[@hugar3499]

I always love how every emergency alert system horror story starts with a relatively ominous warning about something and gives you fairly basic to follow instructions. And then at the end the government or whatever took control of the government is basically telling everybody the entire nation and possibly world is screwed lol. It's not the most realistic take but it is certainly funny.

[@Alexander-nc4vy]

The Half-Life 2 models are perfect for this. There is just something about their faces that makes you empathize with them significantly more than models from other video games.

C'mon man, you did such an AMAZING job at keeping horror in a viewer until you showed the actual creature at the very end! The scariest thing is in our own imagination. You shouldn't have shown the creature especially when it's SFM. I felt pressure on my chest this whole video! And then that silly red head showed up, all the pressure immediately was put away by laughter. BUT it's still such a GREAT work really really really well done! I'm really happy I found your channel and I REALLY hope you will do more such animations! Or whatever you want, you have really cool ideas!

[@thelegostarwarsf7916]

That's probably a fault with the creepypasta. Not the animator.

[@Surkee]

Honestly I was inspired by a lot of indie horror shorts I watched where they tend to show the monster for a few seconds at the end. I figured that if I didn't do it too, it might have been disappointing. Then again it's kind of difficult to come with an idea for a monster by yourself especially when you suck at modeling lol. I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time, thanks for the feedback!

What makes this effective is the lack of dialogue, background sounds, music, and limited visual perspectives (looking out a window at night). If the character had an inner monologue, it would have watered down the creepy factor. The monster design and how it just floated there was quite unsettling. Nicely done!

[@cityinsanity]

The ending could go differently for those who are blind or deaf. If you are blind, you can just, I don't know, do nothing I guess when it arrives. If you are deaf, continue to ignore it, while looking away, so then if it makes a sound, you cannot hear it therefore you can ignore it. Or if you've been gaming all night in the basement, it gets in, you never notice a thing.

[@thedukeofweasels6870]
