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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Urbanspooks habit for ripping the arms and legs off reminds me of that video that’s like “her legs were cut off, her arms were cut off.”

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

they dont even know how creepy our cast will be

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

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.

The painter was literally seven episodes of: "After Ben Dovers mysterious disappearance 6 days ago, his car was found three days ago which lead to his discovery 4 days ago. He was stabbed 69,420 times, had his head and ripped off, his chest torn open and his heart replaced with his cock.". Like fuck it just gets broing after hours of person goes missing person found horribly murdered.

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

Thank you so wickedly much for making a video covering GREYLOCK and giving your thoughts on it in such an in depth way. Your kind words are what help fuel us. To clarify a couple things: 1) This video contrasting the two series is interesting, because so many people in comments sections of videos oftentimes mention us both, despite how different our content is. Both have made impressions, it seems! Also, having spoken with UrbanSPOOK a number of times, I can vouch for him being a really cool, chill dude. I personally can’t wait to see what else he’s going to come out with, and I’ll be there for it. 2) The production team, as of right now, is just Matt Reeves and myself. I am the director, writer, producer, cinematographer, prop master, and handle casting voice talent, among a plethora of other things. I brought on Matt as a producer, as well, but also to help bring my visions to life through editing and with his stellar visual & special effects skillset. He’s originally a horror game dev who impressed me greatly, and I’m so thankful to have him working alongside me to really bring things to life. (You may also be able to expect video games in the future, but that’s a secret…) Some behind the scenes info that people may find interesting: ALL content uploaded to Greylock, I take and record onto an actual VHS cassette using a converter, then I loop it back to a digital file using another converter, so that everything you see has genuine VHS effects. Also, any cinematography you see has been filmed with actual analog camcorders from the 80s/90s. Any real props you see are genuine vintage items that I’ve purchased for this project (and there’s so much more of that to come lol). Anyway, TL;DR version: it’s been a ton of work, authenticity is my kink, and we’re so grateful for this video and the livestream you did. And such a MASSIVE thanks to all of you amazing Wendigoon fans who went to GREYLOCK to interact and follow along. Thank you a million times over. We’ll be seeing you soon. Things have only just begun. EDIT: Wanted to clarify that the Matt Reeves working with me is NOT the Hollywood director—totally different guy lol. Matt Reeves (who oftentimes goes by MattReevesProductions) is initially a game developer, and he has become a VFX specialist and a fantastic editor. I’ll tell him he needs to change his name if he wants to keep working for me, though. Don’t worry. Any ideas for a new name?? I’m thinking Jennifer or Tabitha. Just lemme know.

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

cops entered the house and found a comically large cake in the kitchen next to a painting titled 'birthday barry', upon cutting the cake to enjoy a slice, the officers on scene found the body of barry wheeler with 600,000 stab wounds across his body with 48 birthday candles shoved down his peehole. barry was 36.

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!

Wendigoon being roasted for finding the Sus Jerma photo disturbing demonstrates what makes Wendi great - he isn't, and doesn't pretend to be, desensitised to horror and spooky things. love him for that!!

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.
