*Pingu riding on a bed* (JUMPSCARE WARNING)
(told you so)
It's that time of the month again.
After around half a year of being dead on the internet
I'm back on the month of the dead, dead inside
and ready to resurrect my dead channel in the spirit of the
8th month of the year, Halloween month… (Oct = 8?)
wait
But it's definitely been a while and I'll leave the apologies for my absence for the end of the video
because it's been way too long.
Anyway before I go on a tangent I guess I have to tell you why I'm here now (JUMPSCARE WARNING)
why my sona looks washed out
and why I absolutely butchered the drawing
...sorry Eli (follow EIiArt on Twitter)
You've seen YMS do it
You've seen RALPH do it
You've seen multiple other YouTubers do it so now it's my turn to jump on a month old bandwagon.
Everyone has their fair share of childhood nightmares
and it's only fitting that I discuss mine
Most people will probably share the same kind of fears I had when I was a kid,
so it's nothing too revolutionary
but I've been wanting to make a creepy kind of video for a very long time
so I guess there's a start.
Horror films have been a subject of ridicule and interest for a very long time
the purpose of a horror film is to scare or unsettle audiences, that's what it's meant to do
and the horror genre has existed for well over a century
through authors such as Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoker
and one common theme that appears throughout many pieces of work to do with horror
is the supernatural
ghosts, spirits, demons and serial killers for example.
There have been many subgenres of horror since its inception, and would take awhile to list all of them
but horror is a unique genre in that it directly plays on you, the audience
It's not something that you can watch and laugh at the characters
or something you can relate to, like a romance (however unrealistic it turns out to be)
it's something that directly affects you as a person and sticks with you for a while
seeping into the real world.
The number one fear that everyone has when it comes to things like horror is the fear of the unknown.
There are the classic fears like aviatophobia and arachnophobia
and the fear of death
but one scary scare that is infinitely more frightening than the rest
is certainly a fear of the unknown.
both of which kind of resembles a fear of the unknown
but what horror does most of the time is to play on this fear.
People always want to find out what happens when they do something,
like what happens when you jump out of a window or something;
the most common reasoning that people give for committing various acts in their life
is simply 'to see what will happen'.
It's the fear and the interest in the unknown that scares people, and it sure scares me.
Probably when I was younger one of my biggest fears was essentially dying: what happens after.
Some people watching right now will probably be like
"Oh my god dude
like
what happened did your cousin get fed to the lions or something?"
No, it wasn't because I was witness to someone dying at a young age
I was new to the whole existential crisis thing
it was mainly the prospect of what happens after.
We're commonly educated on religion, I'm religious
but the concept of mortality is what petrified me and still kind of does
but to a far lesser extent to how much it worried me when I was a young chocolate.
It's the feeling of dying that kind of scared me more than anything.
I'm at home, just watching the news and I see a news anchor points informing the viewer that
this one pensioner has died at the ripe old age of 20
and I'm wondering to myself, how did he die?
What happened to him that caused his unfortunate
BUT NECESSARY
death?
How painful was it? Did he just fall asleep and not wake up?
Was he convulsing on his deathbed, trying to reach out to life support attempting to turn it back on?
What happened to him?
That was probably my very first existential crisis, and this is extremely common.
Not to be confused with necrophobia which is the fear or literal dead people.
I went Googling and found out there is actually a scale that measures the amount of anxiety children have for death fittingly named:
The way in which this scale is actually measured is
having a psychiatrist come to your school
and presents specific scenario that scares them
and children have to rate it based on how scary it is.
The measurement style in itself is called the Koala Fear Questionnaire, don't ask why it's called that
but the results show that most children between 4 and 6 and 7 and 10
have death and danger as their most common fear.
a rebuttal to this is that a more mature understanding of the biological concept of death
was correlated to a decreased fear of death,
suggesting that maybe it's helpful to teach children about death in order to alleviate the fear.
Using that example, you can kind of understand how morbid children's thoughts really were.
In my case, I was essentially a mix between Pandora and Jigsaw
'No that's not creepy at all' ( C O M E D Y C O M E D Y C O M E D Y )
I was interested in anything and everything about how things like death, mortality and overall creepy stuff were
so much so that I've accumulated a list of things that had creeped me out when I was younger
so let's break things down into different categories beginning with television programs. (MILD JUMPSCARE WARNING)
When I was a younger age I really enjoyed watching TV.
I didn't have much time to use the computer, and have some PC time to myself
so TV was basically my secondary source of entertainment.
There were a lot of different television shows out when I was younger, especially in the cartoon field
watching them nowadays may have different effects on viewers
especially seeing as you could get away with a lot more things back then wink wink nudge nudge
but that's for another video.
One particular cartoon that was a lot darker than the description let on was of course, Tom and Jerry
and I don't mean the excrement Cartoon Network are broadcasting now, I mean the classic MGM cartoons from the 50s.
There was one episode in particular that I watched and thought it was quite funny at the time
but now rewatching it and you realise just how brutal it was
for the record, Jerry was always the villain. Always.
The one or two episodes where Tom actually won? Masterpieces.
the rest was horsesh-
If I can remember correctly the episode was about Tom dying and going to heaven
he has been denied entry because he's been mean to Jerry all his life
which honestly makes absolutely no sense because he's just doing his job that's been given to him
anyway he has to get Jerry to sign a form essentially saying he forgives him
and if Tom doesn't get it signed and back to heaven in 30 minutes
he gets condemned to hell for all eternity where he will be roasted in a cauldron.
That doesn't really sound child friendly does it
but that the thing that's so genius about the show.
It beats around the bush with the message of that episode so when children watch it they'll be laughing like
"Hahaha look at him."
"LOOK AT HIM AND LAUGH"
The slapstick violence of the show is done in such a way
that you don't think twice when actual dark moments happen
like in that same episode if you don't know the context of why some of the cats were checking in at Heaven
you'd be thinking they had a trip and that's it.
But you'd be wrong
in that same episode, there was a bag where three kittens had been inside, covered in water.
Upon first watching when I was younger I was like "if that's not the cutest thing I've ever seen"
but now when you realise the context of how the kittens got there you'd find that those three kittens had drowned.
Someone put those kittens in a sack and thrown them in a river and they all died
which was common practice during the Great Depression in the 30s, with cats serving on purpose on farms
and if they're too much to handle, just lob them in the river!
Now of course after finding this out I went from "Awww"
to "AAAA-"
So you're telling me that those kittens DIED?
Now the episode makes sense.
In that same show, there was another episode with the *Two* Musketeers and watching the episode
you'd think it's a funny slapstick swashbuckling espionage adventure (try and say that really fast)
but it really isn't
Tom has to do something I can't remember, I think it was guarding the castle
and in 2 of the 3 episodes he dies a horrible death.
And it isn't a Looney Tunes death, like an explosion or a hammer squashing him.
The music actually stops at that point to really hammer home the fact that he is going to die and it isn't a game anymore.
In the distance you can also see the silhouette of his body being guillotined
Death Grips - Guillotine
and him going motionless.
The musketeers watch this with abject horror on their faces.
"C'est la guerre!" ("That's war/It can't be helped")
THEN THE JOLLY MUSIC STARTS AGAIN AS THE EPISODE ENDS.
That is probably the most "traumatic" television programme for me when I was younger
because all of these dark themes are hidden in what's meant to be a fun loving children's cartoon from Cartoon Network.
Remember Teen Titans?
No matter how much the network of Cartoons wants to bury it in irony
the original was a damn good show and mixed comedy moments with solid drama.
And they had two dark episodes that I bore witness to
(there are more, I know but I didn't watch the entire series, don't crucify me)
And watching them made me realise just how much older cartoons played on other emotions compared to nowadays
where every cartoon tries to be funny, full stop, with some few exceptions.
Anyway the more notable one had Robin be infected by something, I can't remember what
but the effect of it was that only he could see Slade and no one else could
(Media Encoder screwed the audio here) Can I just take a second to appreciate just how evil Slade was in the Teen Titans cartoon?
He was legitimately the epitome of Satan in that series
and I respect Cartoon Network for making him so dark without venturing into Adult Swim territory
The voice acting in that episode, especially Robins was ridiculously good
