The Horror Of The Boiled One Phenomenon - Analog Horror Analysis

[@doctornowhere]

hey man i love this! as i often do when i find theory/analysis videos regarding my work, i'd love to confirm a few things-- you're pretty spot on with all the religious stuff. i was super hesitant to even include it in the first place with the fear of falling into the typical tropes, but because of the symbolism of Louis Zamperini and Watanabe being more of a "forgiveness is the only thing that will set your mind free from trauma" type of thing, i decided to go with it. i love seeing all these theory videos on my work even after the storm's blown over. even though it was a one-off experimental project, things like this motivate me to continue. the boiled one may reappear in the future, but i've got a lot more in store that i personally enjoy more that you'll see first. cheers!

Question: is the laughter at the end of the T.O.E vids related to the laughter of thousands mentioned in The boiled one?

[@Itz_GamePoint]

Loved it man, an analog horror with a positive lore message.

[@TheStarshipGarage]

The story of Louis Zamperini is one that actually brings a tear to my eye because of the message of reconciliation and hope. And it's nice to see an analog horror that has a deeper message that's actually hopeful.

[@Nekoszowa]

The moment some random comment said that "It's kinda wholesome how he is always there, makes me feel less lonely :)" I stopped finding this analog horror scary tbh

[@Avanti998]

Honestly, Phen's reversed voice is strangely comforting.

[@troin3925]

That comment is the exact same thing people say about SCP 1471 and why some people started to find it endearing or even cute despite its terrifying appearance (aside from... y'know... the fanart. But even then, that reason also ties in to all that fanart existing and it, for the most part, wasn't just r34 for r34's sake). The only difference is that, aside from The Boiled One never getting that fanart treatment (and if it did, it's clearly very rare and not all over the place like SCP 1471), The Boiled One is very clearly dangerous and has sinister intentions, to the point of having physical and psychological effects on its viewers. Whereas if you pay close attention to the SCP 1471 article, Mal0 is completely harmless. it just wants to keep people company like the app says, and people who've used the app react differently and completely of their own accord rather than some outside force giving them paranoia or something.

7:46 it's absolutely true, a huge part of horror is about making the audience feel safe, oftentimes with nostalgic imagery that elicits feelings of childhood, than it pulls the safety away, whether slowly or rapidly, but it eventually takes advantage of your emotional vulnerability in that moment of nostalgia. There's a reason many Analog Horror artists are within my age group (younger millennial-elder Gen Z) as for us, our childhood was the last time we were thoroughly exposed to VHS and CRT

[@minerexsss]

I've seen people criticize how much PHEN is shown in the video, when that is the whole point of it. It's established in the video that viewing him is dangerous and that's how he gains influence over his victims. He appears so much so that the viewer still remembers him after the video is over and when going to sleep, I sure did lol- Just like the characters in the video. If we add that detail to the points you have made, about PHEN infiltrating the things we find comfort in, it is now more apparent that he has indirectly infiltrated something else. That being the viewer's comforting thought that what they are seeing it not real and it cannot hurt them because it's behind a screen. It effectively blurrs the line between fiction and reality. In short, seeing PHEN so much with the context of his powers attached to it, makes the viewer paranoid lol-

[@tonybippitykaye]

I’ve watched my fair share of analog horror that’s left me creeped out or disturbed, but it never really terrified me. I watched the boiled one and it was the first time since I had listened to The Caretaker’s Everywhere at the End of Time that something had disturbed me so bad that it stayed with me for days. Hell, at night I was having to double check my angled lamp to make sure it was a lamp and not something about to paralyze me. The design and the music was just so skin crawling and the note about people witnessing him having feelings of anxiety made my GAD ass freaked out. Not to mention just the utter horror of him making you a prisoner of your own body while he feeds off of you alive… Thank you for your funny editing of Phen btw. It makes it a lot more palatable to listen to this

[@QBrute_]

It's fascinating how different people perceive different things as scary. Maybe I'm weird, but I find PHEN rather goofy and almost cute, especially when he slowly pops up behind the old man's bed 😂 But the whole backstory and historical and religious implications are really interesting. And I think that's the best part about analogue horror. If a story is compelling enough, you *want* to know more about it and start researching.

One weird thing I’ve never heard anyone mention with this Analog Horror is that 530 people viewed the broadcasting, but only 509 were paralyzed in result of watching it. I would imagine that the remaining people who weren’t effected where either highly religious people, like priests or pastors, or had some other medical condition that made the broadcast less effective like being deaf for example.

His design and story is very scary ! Me who I tend to be kinda paranoid was horrified during nights because I felt as if PHEN was piercing his eyes into my back. Very cool work, it has been long since I’ve last got this scared !

[@Xeorboom]

I still stand by my theory that PHEN is the embodiment of trauma and PTSD, that's why he only appears to some people and doesn't seem outwardly malicious. He *is* Watanabe but he is also locked-in syndrome and paranoia and trauma and PTSD and anxiety and everything else, he's not pure evil because while the pain of your psyche can ruin you it can also shape you into something better

[@chertikinamoto]

I have my own just for fun theory that The Boiled One, or as I call him, Mr. Phen, is King Paimon as seen by scared religious people. For those who don’t know, King Paimon is a high ranking member of the Ars Goetia, a catalogue (ha) of 72 demons in the Lesser Key of Solomon. He’s also mentioned in a few other grimoires. It’s important to note that most of the spirits depicted on the Ars Goetia are actually fallen angels rather than traditional demons. King Paimon in particular is known to always be accompanied by a procession of trumpets and percussion wherever he goes, and known for having a deep, booming voice, and of course, wearing a crown because he’s a king after all. Here’s what I think went down. King Paimon hijacks Broadcast 813 to alert and prepare people for the upcoming rapture. He even tones down his usual booming voice as a sort of be not afraid precaution. Unfortunately, he chose to hijack a broadcast in Pennsylvania, well known for its deeply religious people and Christian fringe groups. Because he’s a fallen Angel, and easily on par in power with both lovecraftian deities and even archangels, his very presence is cognitohazardous, and the deeply religious people of Pennsylvania see his form as the horrific Mr. Phen. The outbreak of pseudocoma among his witnesses is another effect of his very nature. However, Mr. Phen has no idea his presence is hazardous to humans, (or he just doesn’t care cause he’s got shit to do), and continues to find ways to inform the public about the rapture. Obviously this isn’t a watertight theory, just something for fun. I do think that the prevailing theory that he’s the personification of all the suffering Watanabe caused (sort of like a cross between an Onryo and a Gashadokuro, which is a whole other can of worms) is the more correct theory.

[@angrymoose3383]

I find the very concept of cognitohazards to be immensely terrifying and I wish horror videos included trigger warnings for them. I literally couldn’t sleep for days after learning of Roko’s basilisk (don’t look that up) and now seeing the Boiled One Phenomenon has just pissed me off.

[@FabbrizioPlays]

All I can really throw in is that, the JermaSus face issue is the reason I DON'T find the design scary. I don't know if it's just an association at this point, but whenever I see a "monster" with a really big smile, I assume it was made by a 12-year-old. It's the least scary thing in the world to me. Which is a shame, because the rest of the video is fairly unnerving.

[@MarcyTheKindaCoolWizard]

Think of it like the whole among us crewmate thing, it exploits your mind's natural tendency to find patterns even where there aren't ones, and since your mind doesn't find that pattern interesting or frightful, anythibg yoyr mind recognizes as it will therefore lack any fear factor

[@JacobKaiju]

My only issue with Finn's look is the eyes are way to gentle looking to be horrifying. I feel if they were more sunken in and mean looking, it would work. The rest works.

[@JavierReyes-vi7vj]

That's what makes it work for me, he's scary but also not disarmingly aggressive or mean looking, he even talks calmly, which I think makes him scarier, because you can't tell what it's true nature is

[@Bonkpunktexe]

while i understand that religious analog horror is scary to a lot of people, i genuinely just find it cheesy as hell, but also i think it's kinda sad that we havent seen a ton of different religious takes on it, most of the popular ones with religious themes are about christianity, which i can understand since it's one of the biggest religions in the world, but i think it would be much more interesting and refreshing, and potentially scary, if we saw other religions represented. idk that might just be me being tired of christian theming tho, to me it feels like it's all a very same-y at some point

[@underthethunder]

I have a different interpretation of the Christian imagery the Boiled One invokes I think it represents a different lens through which one can interpret the Christian faith. A lot of the uglier parts of the Bible people often ignore, brush over, or try to justify. It's instead looking you in the eyes and going "What if it's real, but isn't justified? What if Christianity is just a real life cosmic horror story? What if you're willingly preparing yourself to be consumed by a being you cannot hope to understand?" This may be because, as a trans person, I've seen a lot of the uglier side of Christianity, and to be clear I think there's something far more convoluted going on than just "god is evil and we're all going to be eaten by him hahaha", but it's still a possibility worth considering. Also, you should watch the Film Theorists video on how the Boiled One Phenomenon may feed on pain. I feel like you kind of brushed past all the poison oak imagery (and reasons to distrust the "government agency") the Boiled One Phenomenon tape was apparently leaked from. It's really neat. In conclusion the Boiled One Phenomenon really freaked me out and it's my favorite Analog Horror since... hell, Local 58. I've never seen another Analog Horror that freaked me out as much as Local 58 except for the Boiled One Phenomenon.

[@rainond.cooper2971]

The thing that scares me so very much about this thing is the fact that... well... that one image of Phen looming over the bed looks EXACTLY like how my view is from my bed during slight daytime hours. The one difference being the fan blades

[@Necrotheos]

I watched and recorded a lot of movies and cartoons on VHS as a kid, often alone and too close to the TV, alone and sometimes they would break or get corrupted or damaged from being used, and I remember that's what scared me most about the Ring. I didnt know what was after the statis, behind it. The idea that the black tape was hiding something or that if I recorded enough something mi9ght speak through it-- that was so unreal and disturbing. Not to mention the blood curdling SNAP and crackle when you reached the static/end of the tape. That shit scared me so much.

[@chertikinamoto]

I feel like even though I think he’s pretty neat nowadays, the fact that the creator can put the monster in full view in the thumbnail and it STILL scares the vast majority of viewers is a true testament to a piece of media’s potential.

[@skyr5247]

To add to your point about the vhs aesthetic in many analog horrors being scary bc of the feeling of having your safety invaded, I think it's also because with the nature of more analog devices like tapes and cassettes having less convincing/polished editing and splicing tools as modern technology, in a way it kind of feels "more real"? Like something about seeing something terrifying, otherworldly, and unexplainable on say, a random vhs tape found in the attic of some nobody, it feels startling because it's less plausible that someone would be able to convincingly fake a video of someone unhinging their jaw and eating a persons head if they're just some guy without the resources to make it look good. And with PSA/government announcement style analog horror, a part of the fear of invaded safety is also in seeing the powerlessness of the structure of your world in the face of something infinitely more sinister and dangerous. But idk I'm just yapping

I think what made the video miss the mark with plenty of people, myself included, is that it isn't that straightforward to watch In other Analog Horror series you can just go and pay attention to fully understand everything shown But in the Boiled one Phenomenon there are plenty of moments that can be hard to get, since they reference either history or christianity, or are edited in a way that kind of makes it so you have to go out of your way to find out what about it Like the reverse speech, or the bible verses It just made it seem like the whole video was more of a "youtuber fuel" kind of thing, where you need someone to tell you every reference to completely get it, which when it happens: _Well yeah!_ It seems to have true potential, but as a casual watch, it can be a bit underwhelming

I'm sure there would have been videos naalyzing and explaining the story even if it was much more straightforward and less referential with it's presentation of things I do say, i'm glad for the more recent works Doc slowed down the speed for the text fading,, most people cannot read that fast and having to pause constantly kind of bums it just slightly

My younger sister and I love horror, and we liked the video, but we both went into it genuinely thinking that it would be about a guy who got boiled alive and became a zombie (please tell me we're not the only ones who thought that). So we're planning on making a fanfiction about what we thought it would be about.
