Are indie horror films thriving on YouTube?

Horror Games

I recently heard a podcast discussing obscure movies from local video stores. It made me wonder about today’s indie horror scene. Is YouTube the new platform for these under-the-radar scary flicks?

Back in the day, video stores sometimes had these weird, unknown horror movies that never got wide releases. It felt more grassroots than today’s indie film scene.

So I’m curious:

  • Is YouTube now the go-to place for indie horror?
  • What kind of horror content are people watching there?
  • Are there any hidden gems or rising stars in YouTube horror?

If you’re into indie horror, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Have you discovered any cool, lesser-known horror creators or films on YouTube?

YouTube’s become a playground for indie horror creators. Been watching a bunch of found footage stuff lately. Some of it’s pretty intense. Love how people are getting creative with limited resources. Feels like the old video store days, but digital.

Yeah, YouTube’s a goldmine for indie horror.

Lots of found footage and analog horror stuff.

YouTube’s definitely got some hidden horror gems.

Found a few creepy short films there recently.

Some creators do cool stuff with minimal budgets and unique ideas.

YouTube’s pretty sweet for indie horror. I’ve stumbled across some cool short films there.

There’s this dude who makes these eerie stop-motion videos that are super creepy. Can’t remember the name though.

Analog horror’s getting big too. Lots of weird, unsettling stuff if you dig around.

YouTube’s definitely a hotspot for indie horror these days. I’ve been binging on creepypasta narrations and those weird alternate reality game videos lately. It’s cool to see how creative people get with just a camera and some editing skills. Reminds me of the DIY spirit from the old camcorder days, but with a modern twist.
