Digital Horror and Flash Aesthetics

Digital Horror is one of the most interesting concepts to me at the time, the ability to take early 2000s, Gen Z trauma, and turn it into a whole series is incredibly exciting. In this video I point out some projects, that use early Flash aesthetics, to convey some really interesting tropes I can't wait to see used in digital horror.

Only real ones realize I misspelled digital in the thumbnail.

i dont mean to alarm you guys but the URL of this video has SEX in it. isnt that messed up

[vitaleriof]

i don't know why but bugbo going "i don't like it, " "cut it down" without any hesitation made me burst out laughting!

[Zombieharts]

Lacey games has the vibe of when you are just starting to grow out of those old girls go games type websites. When you start to realize why THAT family member isn’t allowed near the kids by himself. Why THAT teacher keeps dress coding you. Why THAT kid keeps stalking you in the halls.

[ripleyandweeds]

"No."
"Excuse me?"
"I'm not doing that."
this is fucking destroying me

[ryuzxa]

Bugbo literally gaslight the mayor into not existing. 10/10 best character

[galaxywolf_XD]

Bugbo is the type of guy to say “Gaslighting isn’t real, your crazy.”

[muhammadfirdausbinsyahrom]

Bugbo feels more like Comedy/Horror than straight up horror

[Bugbo.]

I like how bugbo is so controlling and they could just say no and you’ll disappear like that

[bobsweirdocs]

The “I’m telling a speech here” “noyourenot” “💀”made me laugh so hard I love these types of jokes & this pulled it off really well

[LillianGraceFullofficial]

The clean version of poochie and pansy feels like a purposely forgotten traumatic memory.

[unauthorized_thing]

I FUCKING LOVE DIGITAL HORROR


I WANT TO SEE THINGS I GREW UP WITH GET USED AGAINST ME IN A BEAUTIFUL MIX OF NOSTALGIA AND HORROR

[monotoneheadphones]

I can see Gradient Joe from Bugbo being a tumblr sexyman. I dont know exactly how i feel about that, but i can see that the recipe is there and that its only a matter of time.

Edit: i have no idea if this comment predates it, but MY BOY HAS A SEXYPEDIA ARTICLE WE DID IT!!!

[animator.]

that is actually hilarious that the pooche and pansy creator is just gaslighting people

[salazasauceproductions]

Lacey's Wardrobe absolutely horrifies me because stories like hers do happen IRL, and much like UrbanSPOOK, it's certainly effective

[BabiOni]

The bugbo show honestly gives me very ‘early internet’ “Smiling Friends, ” vibes and I need to watch it now since I’ve seen Smiling Friends more than 3 times in showing others.

[Eddidiah]

Okay the Lacy game scared the shit outta me cuz the way the knocking audio was executed I thought someone was knocking on my window right next to me.

[lordtourettes]

Really hope this Flash Aesthetic becomes popular as Analog Horror itself, would love to see an horror version of CoolMathGames

[OpheliaTerat]

That first Lacey video was genuinely creepy. It'd be cool if the creator made more.

[galaksen]

Lacey is honestly way more upsetting than any analog horror I've seen since local58

Thanks for checking out these entries, ESPECIALLY the Lacey games, as they are CRIMINALLY underrated.
