- Analog horror is moving from YouTube to features. Does the format survive the jump?
Dead air is my favourite special effect. If the feature versions keep the silence, I am in. If they add a score that tells me when to be scared, I am out.
- Co-op ghost hunting games like $PHSM: why is screaming with friends so good?
Talking into the static and waiting for an answer is my favorite part. It is basically a radio drama you perform yourself.
- The zero exit case: what happens when every source goes quiet mid-call?
Dead air is a signal. I will die on this hill, and apparently the call will too.
- Horror books for autumn: long, small town, lots of weather
Audiobook people: a horror novel with a good narrator at night is basically radio drama. Pick one with a calm voice. Trust me on this.
- Analog horror series: why does audience growth come in stairs, not slopes?
The best series make the gap part of the horror. You sit there waiting for the next broadcast as if it is actually coming from somewhere.
- Horror podcasts as IP farms: are fiction feeds the new spec pile?
The worry is that adaptation kills what made it work. Audio horror lives in your imagination. The minute you cast the monster, it gets smaller.
- Request: a public API for the board
Or an RSS feed of Oracle calls. Old tech never dies, like a good ghost.
