An analog horror short film made by cartoonish_.

Even the goddess of growing stuff doesn't want to deal with this thing XD

[@HelloImakecovers]

My mom's Demeter, goddess of grain. She gets excited when it starts to rain. But planting and planting and planting's a pain! Oh no. For their sixteenth birthday, my friends got a car. I got a fern in some dumb mason jar.

[@a.k8185]

The part of where 'you are reduced to a statistic' is actually pretty damn well done, as it implies there are other additions to the statistics as well.

This is criminally underrated

[@a.k8185]

Note that the assailant is considered an 'it', showing it aint most likely human.

[@Em-pc4qm]

The writing in this is seriously so good, I feel totally immersed in this world and now I'm invested. Can't wait to see more from you!

[@TRAVISIIGAIA]

awesome work! i have been getting a bunch of underrated analog horror recommended to me recently, happy to say that i have found another hidden gem!

[@redwoodclimber]

The last line of the bathroom scene in Hide was perfectly timed and worded! Only criticism is that more practical effects would be better to solidify the atmosphere, like jumping to make the camera shake rather than vfx. Other than that, you're on the road to a Gemini my friend :)

[@GreenGj-]

There is a reason why American schools have the materials to make a flamethrower

[@-Flamin-Fox-]

We need more of this! This is good stuff

[@theopenrift]

There's a few problems I'm seeing here. First of all, is when this tape was supposedly made: 1992. Most schools (in America at least) weren't as universally acquainted with lockdown procedures until after the Columbine incident in 1999. Secondly, there's this part at 2:05 about recommending that you have a phone with you that just feels really out of place. Again. It's 1992, cellular phones were not very common. I know it's nitpicking, but details are important in making a convincing analog horror with specific dates in mind.

[@cartoonish_]

aha. noted. thanks for your input

[@amandacastillon8643]

While true, lockdowns aren't designed for monsters looking to est children, so perhaps a bit of suspension of disbelief is in order. And perhaps in this universe, cell phones already existed in the time line as commonplace?

[@SadFemboy]

Absolutely fantastic, I cant wait for more of this.

[@tntturtleneckturtle914]

This is way too good for you to only have 774 subs, you should have AT LEAST 100k

This is beautiful.

[@stevenatorbensonica4653]

[@jelly434]

Excellent sound & atmosphere, nitpicks for grammar/sentence structure.

[@boyholland]

hello @Socroft Records , do you think you could tell me what software youre using for your edits? im trying to start an analogue horror series of my own, but with more live action film. i will need the whole "vhs tape" look. how do you do it?

[@cartoonish_]

for the socroft records videos, I use Final Cut Pro X which is a editing software on the Mac, and I apply some effects from red giant universe, mainly the vhs and av club effects. for the previous two videos, I used a blender plug-in which you can find here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baLMpYWMp5ppedU i hope this helped :)

[@boyholland]

@@cartoonish_ that’s extremely helpful, thanks so much! i just started the new channel and i’ll hopefully post within one month, but i’ll need to go on a camping trip with friends to get the footage. here’s the link to channel if u wanna see: kzbin.info/door/MQBeYdInVEr7EGh0LmIZKg

[@rjframe4410]

its a greek monster, entreat the protection of hades and walk away. water from the river Styx is useful in such endeavors.

[@ehtnamuh2776]

In an event of a school lockdow, we advise any people to open all doors, exit into the adjacent hallway and scream as loud as you can.

[@limelikeicedtea5883]

so basically, run is the only option to survive :/

[@WitchHalo]

what if the monster just wants to learn in the school?

[@spockslot]

You need a tape entitled what to do in case of a nuclear attack..lol 🤪😅🤣😂

[@Kasey1776]

Sweet!

[@geroldgrimel4811]

2:20 I think that's a screen shot from Red Dawn.

[@crimekitty]

miranda gray where are you ???

[@auravulpes]

The real horror is that this isn't far off from what you'd get taught in an american school anyways (I'm joking but only kinda. The only fiction here is the paranormal entity replacing the inevitable school shooter)

[@LunaVal]

I love how subtle this one is, it feels incredibly realistic with those surreal touches, like the focus was realism rather than the back story and the horror lol I appreciate these ones a little more

"Because it can hear sounds" Excuse me... *IT?* Also I felt my heart leave my chest and evacuate to my neck when the ending hit- great job, person

that was my exact reaction lmao

[@luxill0s]

got recommended this. scared out of my wits- I just wanted to watch pathologic and local 58, I do not need to be dropped into the horror game

[@ThyPandora]

Welcome to Analog Horror! ;)

[@lovaszaron3138]

Ah, a person of culture. Pathologic is great.

[@DaunteFalck]

from everything that I can understand from this video, running seems to be the best option where if you're able to escape without the intruder noticing you, you could be safe. Hiding, which seems like it would be the safest option, seems to be a terrible idea, kind of like how if a schools intruder got in in real life, they'd know that a locked door means that kids are in there.

[@a.k8185]

Locking a door is a deterrent.

[@DaunteFalck]

@@a.k8185 Yes but if an intruder is determined enough they will break the lock

[@a.k8185]

@@DaunteFalck Yes.

please new videos this history is so awesome

[@onelastviburnum]

[@Hadfield15]

Honestly, the footage of the rumbling outside the classroom door and the creature peering into it were outright terrifying to me. Good work!

[@KingDetraktos]

“Leave your belongings on the floor except for your phone, as they will slow you down”… I think you may have forgotten that back in 1992, when your tape here was produced, kids weren’t all running around with cellphones lol But this was pretty solid

[@michelecastellotti9172]

"There are three things you can do to make it out of a lockdown safely" Me:"the fuck you mean?" "Hide, run, fight" Me:"what?!"

[@HarmonicVector]

I actually really like it. It seems as if part of the film is lost rather than it being altered by the entity that is causing all of this.

Do they have cell phones in 1992 in this universe?

[@evanlowe5528]

5:13 That is not a person.

[@rafz1024]

MSU WTF

[@hyliadreamer]

Slight problem. The timestamp on this "video" is 1992. I was twelve that year; we didn't exactly have cell phones. They were around, but not many people had them. And they were slightly bigger than the average brick. No one had them in school in those days. Sorry, guys. I'm only trying to help.

[@cartoonish_]

no problem! i received a comment which had this exact problem and it was more an oversight on my part.

[@0_dearghealach_083]

[sucks in air through teeth] Is it just me, or... given the modern times, this one feels... even more disturbing?

[@darksong80]

Agreed!!! Seriously @SocroftRecords, nice touch with the school shooting vibe, it literally makes it %1000 more terrifying. Not to mention very unique and not done before. Instafan here. Your channel is way underrated. I wish Wendigoon would do a video on your channel after your season is complete. O.O
