“Submechaniphobia is not limited to animatronics” I think they’re gonna run out of animatronics to cover guys. I knew this day would come but I didn’t want it to be so soon. Love the videos.

But they’re technically right tho (second image on google is literally a creepy shark Statue)

[@LiveChannel1534]

@@harizzafran7973 that’s what makes it so sad though. They kinda have to dig deep to find them now. Somebody gotta start making some more submerged animatronics 😭 😂

I sent them a video of a ride with some decent submechanophobia elements, they told me it would be in part 9.

[@saberfang6329]

The ferryman one kinda made me feel sadness. That sculpture holds so much meaning to somebody who’s struggling with depression but yet unlike the ferryman they won’t give up the fight

[@Rann0MucyChanno]

This is the same for me. I can still understand why people are afraid of it, and heck, I feel some fear in it still. But as the video went on. Well, that changed, I feel more sad and sorry for the ferryman, and in many ways I think I relate to what he is going through. And I think a lot of people will definitely relate to that and feel the same way. It is scary, but it’s also sad when you learn the meaning behind it.

[@ahsanvirk130]

Aye...

[@Spider-Nomad]

it doesnt look like the ferryman gave up to me. More like struggled till death.

[@BroNovaGaming]

La Machine have a very interesting style. Where most Animechanics would try to hide their mechanical pieces to make their props look real, they have ALL of their mechanisms front in center in what looks like a stylistic choice as well as a means of giving the machines extra fluent motion. A full video on these artists would be SO cool.

[@valkyvi8324]

Yeah they play with the mecanic effect I've visited the museum in Nantes and it's beautiful ! And some artists come with the camel in manifestation

[@adammcminn8393]

I think hippo animatronics are significantly more unsettling compared to sharks/alligators/crocodiles... These were all great picks for today's video!

My submechanophobia is triggered by technology suddenly appearing, the entire thing not being fully visible leading to me imagining the rest

[@Corgicorn.]

You know what’s scarier about the Ferrymen’s End at 9:48 the thing it represents “a loss of connection with the outside world coming as a form of depression” that genuinely scares me cus as of now I’ve been really cut off from the world around me and have in fact dealt with depression from it… hearing its story and the fact it’s meaning is something I relate too gives me this primal fear. As though I’d one day turn to stone.

[@TheJazziestNightwood]

honestly as an artist, it's been a lifelong dream of mine to create a submerged/semi submerged animatronic, because i find the art of it super interesting yet horrific. I love your videos by the way, i always get excited when i see you guys post

[@PoutyBats]

Would love a video on La Machine. Those look incredible. Also 'The Bather' triggers my megalophobia... I hate it 😭

[@KristineElizabethKraycer]

6:09... i have gone to the enchanted forest so many times when i was a kid. I absolutely loved it there. At that young age, i wasn't afraid and didn't find anything creepy there. I just remember the good memories i had. I am so happy that they restored most of it and future generations can enjoy seeing it as much as I did back in the 70s.

[@gh0stpuppi333]

The way he described ‘The Bather’ as “magnificent” OR “disrupting the tranquility of the lake” Can two things not be true at once? I think she evokes both feelings!

[@xxmidnight12xx18]

“Would you swim for 5 minutes with the orca?” Absolutely not. I wouldn’t even stand in front of it outside the ride vehicle let alone be inside the water with it.

[@PlatinumRoseLady]

Would I go swimming with an Orca for money. In a word - no. In a longer word - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I never thought I'd see Enchanted Forest on this channel and it's great to see my home town get some love.

[@BuckarooBanzai84]

Fun-Fact; 'Mee-Shee' is far from the only "Nessie"-inspired movie the Creature Shop has been involved in! They actually did TWO "Nessies" for the 1995 TV-movie 'Loch Ness', starring Ted Danson and Ian Holm. And also the Scylla -monster for the 1998 'Odyssey' -miniseries on Hallmark. ; )

[@chaoos_]

i lived right next to the enchanted forest when i was younger after it shut down !!! on my way home i could still see tents full of old props and things down in the woods, still as scary as ever :0 elioak farm was also a favorite especially during halloween :)

Do I, someone with megalophobia, wanna watch this at half 1 in the morning or do I wait when it’s light and I’ve had a good nights sleep… (clicks play button). Not gonna lie, the animatronic animals one is neat. It’s the human ones that have me hiding in the comments.

just discovered and was binging ur other submechanaphobia videos recently! so excited to watch this vid now (even if i may have unlocked a new fear lol recently)

[@LucarioFanGirl2.0]

SOMEONE GIVES US A SUBMECHANOPHOBIA HORROR MOVIE!!!!

[@Prophecyph]

FACTS

[@TrickRtreat06]

The closest thing we have to a movie is a book called "SUBMECHANOPHOBIA" which is associated with animatronics

[@JayJaydraws-f9m]

YES WE DO

[@droth1031]

There's a movie from the early 80s called Frog Dreams. You can watch it here on KZbin. It's not a straight horror movie per se, but it has its nightmare fuel moments.

[@Going2mygravel0l]

Jaws? No? Okay What about Jurassic Park 3? Still no? Fair Guess someone will need to come up with something different

[@Otatsuke]

Currently watching this with my wife and I had to come on here and say that we both want to see a video on La Machine.😝

[@Wwonsmas]

Here to say that I agree with this person and their wife!

[@dumpsterfire9506]

Idk how one even gets submechanophobia but I realized I had it when I first played subnautica way back when. I didn’t care about the depth and darkness of the water, nor the hostile creatures like the reaper or warpers, but when I had to go to wreckages and the aurora i was FEEBLE. I even get uncomfortable going back to the life pod. Irl I get uncomfortable just being near any “vents” in pools, or those inflatable obstacle courses

I'd be terrified of walking past The Bather at night

[@Ryder_Dye]

Walt’s voice is great. Sounds like Thackery Binx from Hocus Pocus.

[@Dean_Machina]

While this one isn't an animatronic, a really cool mention should've been the Jason Voorhees station that is sitting at the bottom of Crosby mine pit/Lake Pleasant

[@lolarose3862]

The Murray Bridge Bunyip from here in South Australia would fit in this list perfectly! There's two versions of it too, both emerge from oily water and screamed at you.

[@lolarose3862]

Just saw you covered it in a video FOUR YEARS ago. How many animatronics are there in this world oh myy

Came here for spooky underwater creepy things. Stayed for The Ferryman's End, and the description about it. Makes me think.

[@kyerstinellis9216]

Would absolutely love to see more La Machine!!! Such intriquet creatures!!! Would love to see more of their machines

[@DuckSquad4]

I find it a but sad to see such old parks being abandoned and things either rusting over time, broken and falling apart or nature growing over them, why do people not take them away for scraps instead of leaving them there? In a way that's kind of dumping is it not? Also it's nice to see too that people should restore these animtonics too for future generations to see. Finally cute Walt Plushie, I want one. Quack 🦆

[@Spider-Nomad]

Im not big into art, but that ferryman statue really spoke to me. You can see how desperate he is to reconnect with the land, but the land is just a metaphor for the reality most people experience. Its about the mental anguish and illness isolation can cause. Crazy. I might be into art now.

[@squishyfishy6010]

One of my earliest vivid memories as a child was at the Jaws ride in Universal Studios FL. I remember being in the boat and pulling into this fake boat garage (I don’t know what you’d actually call it) where it was dark and an enormous animatronic shark coming up right in front of the boat. Now, this ride seemed a hell of a lot scarier as a child and it’s now closed down, but I don’t think I’d be able to ride it again even if it was still functioning. That ride was the reason I have this phobia!! Eeeek!

[@FlonieXD]

I actually have this. I am not at all worried about animatronics but shipwrecks or submerged large metal objects like cranes or oil drilling apparatus are absolutely out. Submarines underwater are a huge no. People think it’s the weirdest thing ever when I tell them I’m scared of shipwrecks.

[@holywatersheep3891]

Vandrotten in BonBon Land is still there! I work there and it is fully operational. Although the huge figures have been removed due to poor maintenance of them during the years, but the ride is not closed!

[@killerfreak7643]

I am from Denmark and have visited BonBon-Land quite a lot, the rat coaster in Danish is 'Vandrotten', and has always been there, it's even running today and now, ! Besides that, great video!

I once dreamt about a giant animatronic that was basically a gigantic elephant, but it was operated by Chaos Dwarves from Warhammer Fantasy. If you know, you know.

[@Gabster94-u8n]

That’s the same fear I have!! I have no problem being on a boat. My fiancée has a 100ft yacht and I have no problem being on it but standing next to it gives me the worst creeps. Thought it was just me.

This channel and its lovely host, Walt, put me in such a good mood. It takes me back to my younger years and all the cool parks and attractions we went to. Yesterday’s video featured an attraction I had actually visited at Universal many years ago! Poseidons Fury.

[@destyvi]

You should definitely do a video on La Machine! And it's a good time for that; they unveiled their new Machine few months ago, Lilith or la Gardienne des Ténèbres, for Hellfest. Plus, there will be a new 3 Days long show in the streets of Toulouse featuring her and Astérion, the Minotaur, in october!

[@astinbryson9949]

I love these videos! Been binging the abandoned animatronics videos lately 😊 Random side note: I have a very specific brand of submechanophobia; I am absolutely TERRIFIED of shipwrecks, but especially the Titanic specifically... I'm not scared of any other man-made stuff underwater. Only shipwrecks 😅

[@mdalsted]

I can tell you why those BonBon candy names are so popular. Kids at the time -- and maybe even still today -- laughed at gross stuff. The "cow b*obs" thing, IIRC, was an example of how, in Denmark, they saw breasts not as an object of s*xuality (sorry for all the censorship, I don't trust KZbin) but as what they are: parts of the body. Basically, it was supposed to be bodily humor, like how a lot of family media these days seem to make jokes about butts.

15:50 The ride at Kelly Tarltons was not or ever called the "Arctic Encounter", It was called the Snowcat. I went on it many times as a kid.

[@neoncityphotoproductions]

Not gonna lie here. I'm just barely too young to remember the Excalibur Merlin show, but, with that being said, seeing a recent video where someone snuck into where the dragon is under the bridge scared the hell out of me. Somehow it's 1000x more terrifying with no water anymore and seeing it half rotten. Nope. Big nope.

[@neoncityphotoproductions]

Edit: I commented this before finishing the video. Y'all know what I mean about f that if you finished the video. Murphy is still terrifying, water or not. 💯

[@nathanhaimson]

Cute plushie! Lmao, I actually do currently have an abandoned animatronic living with me. I took an animatronics workshop at my SFX makeup school in Burbank. We sculpted and fabricated our own animatronics. I wanted to make a clown head and ended up making a huge bust that I ended up not being able to finish. 🤣 The foam latex skin on the stone mold has just been chilling on my desk for months. Hopefully I can finish it so I can put it in my window and confuse my neighbors. Or toss it in a pool to make my own submechanophobia nightmare. 🤡
