The Best & Worst of Analog Horror: GREYLOCK vs UrbanSPOOK - Scary vs Disturbing

Wow, I can't wrap my head around the fact that you actually made a video talking about something I created. Even if it's not necessarily in a good light, it's still surreal to me since I've watched your content for some time. There are some things I really want to clarify: I have no idea where you've heard that I don't care about my series or that I make it only to sell shirts; that is not true. I made the first couple of episodes just for fun, but since it blew up, I really want to improve and try my hand at something new for each episode, like animation or voice acting. I age-restricted episode 6 myself since this was around the time I realized that there were a lot of kids watching my series. ''The Painter'' is intended for an 18+ audience. I had no idea that so many young people in the community were watching when I started. Also, the episode was planned out way before any controversy started, it was not a response to angry people on Twitter. Speaking of... Please don't take anything I do on Twitter seriously. A lot of people know me solely from Twitter by now, but I really only use that site to troll. I don't really care if anyone hates my work, I'm very aware that it's extreme and provocative. I get the criticism about the writing being shit. Art and music are things I've done my whole life, and they're what I mainly want to put out there with the series. I've never done writing before, and telling a story with deep lore etc was never the point. However, there's definitely more to it. There's a bunch of hidden things in the episodes, from one-frame puzzles to clues in the audio design. I even think there's stuff people still haven't found. Seeing the community come together to figure out the name of the painter was really cool. There's more there, even if it's not that deep. And while the presentation is a bit janky (mostly because English isn't my first language), it's one of my favorite aspects of the series. If I ever made a remaster of the series, I would keep all the spelling mistakes etc in. I like the camp. Lastly, hearing you say that I have talent made me really happy. Like I said, I've been enjoying your content for a long time, and I hope that I can create something that you can also enjoy in the future. Rob is a great guy, and I'm so glad to see his project grow. In fact, it might be the first analog horror series I decide to watch, thanks to how you talk about it. Say hi to Papa Meat for me. Much love.

The cops not checking the pipes for a body after finding a painting titled "man in the pipes" is the most realistic thing that happens in any episode of the painter.

ok but the guy getting covered in candle wax in the painter may actually be one of the funniest things ive seen in a horror series its so ridiculous. like these two guys entered this dudes house with industrial amounts of hot candle wax and covered him in it along with adding a random arm from some person we dont even know. honestly incredible

The Painter’s timeline is like a bunch of SpongeBob time cards. “Three days later.” “Four days earlier.” “Two months and three days later.”

i like how wendigoon tells me to watch the series before this video to not have my experience ruined like i am not a pathetic coward that has not and doesnt wish to ever watch anything related to horror media without it being a handsome man explaining it to me

pure shock value in analog horror feels like the equivalent to hyperrealistic bleeding eyes in creepypasta

I loved it when Gabriel said: "I am the Mandela County, and I'm gonna ALTERNATE your BALLS". Literal chills ,so peak.

The phonecall from the teacher was probably the most disturbing part of the painter, even though compared to everything else in the series it was the most 'tame'. There was no heavy mutilation, sexual violence, or anything insane. It was the realism of it, combined with the amazing voice work that really sold the scene. If he focused more on things like that, it would be an amazing series

I love the fact that during the Voice mimicry, the monster goes from mimicking police radio to mimicking birds chirping, it's like it's switching between similar sounds, or slipping up.

they dont even know how creepy our cast will be

wendigoon talking about urban spook like a disappointed teacher explaining a kids potential to his parents at parent teacher conferences is everything

Urbanspook: Her legs and arms were cut off and stuffed into her ears and nostrils. Her eyes were gouged out and put into her mouth and her neck was twisted 360 degrees. The killer also stitched balls onto her specifically to cut them off. A photo was found titled "Doo-doo fart Lara".

The, "It's a monster!" followed by the happy giggling of what is most likely a 3 year old child wiped me out emotionally when I watched that episode. I have a 2 year old who would 100% do this in the situation. The Horror of that moment is perfect.

Urbanspook is literally "Once upon a time there was an ugly barnacle, he was so ugly everyone died, the end"

Urbanspook innutshell : Her arms were cut off. Her legs were cut off. Her ears were cut off. Her tongue was cut off. Her nose was cut off. Her eyeballs were plucked out. Her eyebrows were then waxed. Her tongue was sliced open. Her hair was cut off.

Imagine if urbanspook had started with brief glimpses from the victims pov, then jumped into the police report/text talking about what was found, instead of just telling us what happened. Like with the twins, show us brief shaky footage of him exploring/running out of the cabin, then end it with text saying the bodies were found

i feel like one that gets overlooked is definitely marble hornets, they were the first people to ever introduce "slenderman" and i think no one talks about how good it is as much as they could

Holy cow, thank you for saying such wonderful things about GREYLOCK!! This is a dream come true, and I am beyond thrilled you've enjoyed it so much. This is like Christmas for me. I've been such a big fan, so to hear that you're a fan of my work too is just absolutely absurd. Thank you for all you do, Wendigoon. Also, I cannot even explain to you how freaking stoked I am for your podcast with Papa Meat. You guys are legitimately making my favorite content on YouTube right now, so I seriously can't wait! P.S. Since a lot people have been wondering about the GREYLOCK "team", I'll clarify that here: Rob is the creator/writer/director/producer, and I'm the co-producer/editor, and I do most of the VFX, sound and music. Other than outsourcing people for voice acting, Rob and I are creating everything you see. Rob's the mastermind behind it all, and I help bring his vision to life. It's a very hands-on process for both of us, and each episode is a collaborative effort that involves tons of back and forth between the two of us. Hopefully that's helpful!

Holy shit, I did not expect to be so shaken by that power-drill scene. That was genuinely gut-wrenching. I wish the rest of the series was half as good as that scene.

1:10:38, okay but imagine that the killers are actually art themselves? Like some painter used a cursed brush to make his art come alive doodelbob style and it just started murking everyone and making paintings of them. And the initial painter tried making another one to stop the first one and they ended up joining forces? That would be really cool if that was the actual outcome of that series. I don’t think it is, but I’d be kinda into that as a twist.
