The main problem with Ubran Spook is the lack of a protagonist The series would atleast be somewhat interesting with one But no, the series is purely just a compilation of murders read out in heavy description

[@voidlesskitten9286]

Literally all of this could have been solved by making the person finding/watching the tapes the protag. Maybe it's been several years since these killings so it's assumed the killers are dead or inactive. The MC finds these tapes and for whatever reason, starts to investigate/compile evidence on their own. The first couple of episodes is pretty standard compilations of things they found, until episode 3 or 4, the MC receives an unmarked letter with a painting of their house or them. You can slowly ramp up the creepy horror aspect by having the killer(s) mess with the MC by sending evidence to them or pictures of them out and about, so theres a sense of being watched, but for whatever reason the MC doesn't stop, perhaps because they're being egged on by the Painter because they got bored of murdering (hence originally stopping) and now view messing with the MC as a new entertainment.

[@noctisastrum7495]

​@@voidlesskitten9286heck maybe the MC could be the parent(s) of Corey and Margaret beck like maybe they could have been a private investigator solving the painter case and even manage to save one of the painter's victim so in retaliation the painters find corey and Margaret and do all those terrible things to them. So now the f**ktoy corey thing could have more weight, as this is the painters way of messing with the P.I. and a message to whoever tries to stop them.

[@Brighty587]

@@noctisastrum7495 the fact that you and voidlesskitten have managed to conjure up better plots/ideas for UbranSpook is genuinely embarrassing lol

[@noctisastrum7495]

@@Brighty587 thanks! Also, to expand on my idea, maybe the painter also manages to make himself look like one of the parents in order to kidnap Corey and Margaret and even go as far as to framed them for this horrible crime and let's say it's the father who unfortunately gets incarcerated. So, not only does this create a more personal conflict between the mother investigator(maybe her name could be Regina) and the painters, but also establish that one of the painters can make themselves look like anyone. Since the guy is an artist, maybe he could be proficient in disguises and acting as a way to hide in plain sight and scope out potential victims.

[@TortoiseNotTurtle]

Honestly the protag might as well be the killers with how much fucking plot armor they have. They've literally left their semen in corpses and stepped in blood yet somehow the police haven't immediately gotten their DNA? For real? They're supposedly able to move enough wax to contain a fully grown adult being into an apartment without every being spotted by anyone. Like sure, Jason and Michaek are invincible or whatever but they have that as their appeal. This isn't a, "who is Jason vorhees?" Series but a, "we have to either fight this MF or run from him". The Painter just does whatever because fuck it he's Urbanslug's glorious king.

One of my biggest issues with the series, apart from how needlessly edgy it is, is that Urbanspook wants me to believe this killer, sorry killers, somehow haven't been caught. There's no way they aren't leaving tons of DNA behind wasting hours to commit the most over the top murders and mutilations. Then there's the fact that this is supposedly a small town, in the US. There is no way people didn't arm themselves after multiple people were kidnapped or just straight up murdered in their own homes.

Honestly most unrealistic part is that nobody has a gun on them especially the farmer and that nobody just shoots these guys on sight despite both of them being visually distinctive and no sign of being supernatural.

[@silverbullet7691]

Not to mention the… eh, “body fluids” actively left at the crimes. Like there is a frickin’ ton of DNA left behind because the writer had to keep writing SA in the story. Not to mention since there is home cctv, it’s likely modern time with the advancements of DNA forensics so matching the DNA of the killers to any one logged in the system or family would be so much easier than murders in the 50s and 60s.

The irony is that a analogue horror that focuses on a serial killer has the potential to be very good. Humans can be scary mother fuckers, but the killer in UrbanSpook is so tryhard you would be surprised the guy didn't die of exhaustion. Not even Jack the Ripper had the patience to pull shit like this, and that guy is a real life killer who had similar attitudes to the killer we see in UrbanSpook. If you want over the top kills that are scary, the mask comic that inspired the 1994 movie explores the idea of a not good person getting the powers of a cartoon in real life. There is nothing UrbanSpook can make that can top the idea of people getting used car parts shoved into them, with none of the cartoon physics we see in the movie.

As I have made a video on this guy myself, he goes farther than just "being a dick" He is a hypocrite because he stated in several reddit posts that he started to series to promote his artwork (Every "Painting" he draws himself which I think is neat) however when the KZbinr Wendigoon commented on the issue...i'm pretty sure you know who he is. He goes out of his way to state that he made the series out of passion and not for public attention. Which is a lie. Additionally, the guy has gone on record to contradict his own statements in reddit posts and twitter posts. All of this isn't all THAT bad all things considered but taking into consideration how rude he is to others and how he lies to his auidence about his real intentions. It's a match made for hell EDIT: For those curious, he made several Reddit posts claiming that he started the series as a ay to promote his artwork...if we look at his responce to Wendigoon he claims that he started the series NOT to only promote his artwork. Clear contradiction there. Contradiction 2 is that he claims everything he says on X (Twitter) is to be taken as a joke, yet he makes posts making solid opinions on other people's workslike Pastra and Minaxa. Both were clearly NOT jokes and had no intention to be silly or make any point across other than "You suck lol" Contradiction number 3 is that he tells the people critiquing his work that their type of horror is "Autistic furry horror" When lo and behold, he makes a horror revolving around a Horse getting his rocks off to someone so hard that they DIE.

You don't actually even have to learn what they are, as long as the story has convinced you that they exist you'll do the extra work yourself.

It would’ve been a great and terrifying series if the Painter made art of the victims’ lives as if he were stalking them. Maybe a victim through their window at night while the tape talks about who they were? Showing his dedication to sit and watch them for hours to complete his paintings

@@Ivory-f5b he was making a joke saying that everybody who’s criticizing him is down syndrome, as shown by the stock photo. By using common sense we can infer that he’s also saying all of his critics are stupid. This is ableist because he’s using Down syndrome as a synonym for stupid, therefor calling all ds people stupid.

[@theone8873]

@@Ivory-f5b UrbanSpook is using a picture of someone that has down syndrome to represent his haters, basically calling his haters mentally handicapped and saying people with DownS lesser

[@idk._.1426]

Ableisim can also be (and is often) directed towards people with autism or people with down syndrome. The creator basically made a meme implying the critics have down syndrome who are people often seen as 'dumb' and 'stupid'. Long story short: they implied people with down syndrome are dumb and that anyone who doesn't like their game are mentally disabled (Hope this helps:) )

Urbanspook is a brilliant example of what I call, lazy horror, aka just saying things for shock value. Mainly: -killing children -killing animals -jumpscares. While they can be done right, this just says “He killed man with baby taped to axe” pretty much

[@Bread-nx9fo]

I just cannot bring myself to care about any of the victims in the series because every crime urbanspook makes is explained ad nauseum, and the paintings just add another level to absurdity, like are you actually sitting there and telling me theres no traces of dna on that at all, and that a police department that has forensics can't dust it or swab it for evidence? Its just nonsensical.

[@Conorator]

It's not just the killing children and the killing animals, but also the obsession with dismembering as many parts as physically possible while somehow keeping them alive.

this series gave me nightmares, yea, but not in the same way mandela catalog gave me nightmares, while mandela genuinely made me scared of thr fundemental idea of alternates, creating new monsters in my brain based off of it, this didnt scare me for shit, rather it just made me remember the same 5 jumpscares over and over again even my BRAIN doesnt think this is scary

[@thunblot78]

when my friend was hyperfixated on the mandela catalogue, i tried reading about it. im schizophrenic in the way that if i watch or read horror things, i will go schizo for like a week unless my suspension of disbelief is broken part-way through engaging in it. the mandela catalogue is fucking terrifying, and i only read the goddamn wiki page on the types of alternates

[@greninja4238]

It's not terrifying like the Mandela Catalogue. It doesn't have a disturbing atmosphere like Local 58. It has no lore like the Walten Files. It's not presented in an interesting way like Gemini Home Entertainment. My dude could've told this story in any other way- like having the Painter paint their victims living out their lives, or painting how they looked before they kill. They could also have the Painter target specific people, giving us an idea on what the Painter is like as a person. The lack of a protag and constantly telling rather than showing easily destroys this series.

[@lastchanc3stars]

I honestly want to create a sort of "UrbanSPOOK Retold" where I rewrite everything, maybe like an ARG. Two KZbin channels, one about an old man painter and another about a young girl who does digital art. The old man's channel is that he showcases paintings he's made, but as the videos keep getting posted, stuff like (FAKE) 911 calls and ominous footage gets intercut with it. Then the girl's channel keeps going until there's a video titled HELP or something, then back on the old man painter's channel, you get footage of the girl intercut with it and she idk tells on the old man and he ends up unliving himself in a gorefest idk

Remember, people will eventually come to far scarier conclusions if you leave openings.

[@Joey7Z7Horror]

That is my only issue with the “leave stuff to the audience’s imagination” rule on the horror genre. It works as a classic horror trope and should be treated as an optimal plot device but the idea that horror can’t work from the creator’s physical, on-screen depictions doesn’t sit right with me. The fear of the unknown as a horror tactic should be encouraged as one of the top affective aspects of horror but not a limit to material.

[@codystevenson3142]

urbanspoon is like a horror movie director crushing your shin to make you scream

[@gregvs.theworld451]

That's actually a scarier premise than urbanspook tbh. At least the idea of an artist so anal about the details of their work they're willing to do anything to people to get the perfect performance has ideas you could take that beyond just shock and gore for shock sake.

[@SwankemasterSupreme]

My genuine reaction to every minute: “Oh okay that’s a dead person”

[@stupidmangoz]

If the series isn't already concluded, my suggestion would be to have this guy be writing the entire thing and putting it on a VHS tape to make his fantasy of being a killer seem real to himself. Like those people who act hard and scary and insane when it's really cringe. He gets kicked out after his parents(let's say he's a basement dweller) find the tapes and throw them out with him, as they also walk in on the man painting THEIR bodies next as he's become so deluded about his fantasy that he thinks he can do it just because he planned it for so long. He started committing real murders and UrbanSpook's creator hires some VA to speak like officers, a recording that asks a child about her parents as they were the most recent victims of the Painter. She goes home and starts recording on her phone as the foster home is broken into. Let's say the kid is 10. She is equally as fucked up thanks to the internet yet way more smart than normal people, even ones that aren't tainted by the media. She has more common sense and even raised herself due to her extremely abusive and disgusting household. She records the break in and explores the damage the intruder had caused in the building as the caretakers seemed to sleep through it. The daughter is unaware where the man is. She doesn't even know it's him but as anyone would, has that paranoia that her family's killer is out for her next, like a missed trophy. After about 5-10 minutes of looking, he has her in a room that would be perfect to destroy her life, and her "innocence". Then she starts beating him and near crippling the Painter as it fades to black with them somehow ending up in the woods as this kid tries to burn the man alive, being cruel as well. And we are just left with the thought of the future's predictions. Even maybe expecting that girl to become the next Painter.

It would’ve been really compelling if we were in the police officer guys perspective (forgot his name ) and we read his journal entries and see a growing red thread board as we progress into the series and learn about new victims. It would’ve made the story so much more scary. As you mentioned, there is a lack of direction for the series and if we the audience had a vessel to put ourselves in and figure out the mystery, the series would’ve been actually worth watching .

[@NATALIEBATCHLER0192]

I think nobody points it out, but this is not even analogue horror. Analogue horror uses well qnalog like vha tapes and cam recorders. Not just blank and images and text. Sure, walten files did it with a guilty vut. At least there was lore. There was a heart put into that rather than this.. All the painter is its just vhs text fond and "scary paintings"

[@NATALIEBATCHLER0192]

A other thing is that who the fuck is the protagonist? We know nothing about him apart that he found these tapes in an apartment complex and decided to dgitalize them. There's no substance, and the protagonist feels more like an excuse to show these "vhs tapes" What's the point of caring about these series if the protagonist is a fucking non existent thing
