I hope you had a merry Christmas Zane! Any word on the new patron tiers? I’d donate more if I could

Just watched Santa's Slay last night for first time. Was very entertaining and decently paced in parts. Elsewhere it was too fast (some scenes felt half as long as they should've been) or too slow without being productive (mainly the third act). Thanks for the recommendation

I mean, right there, you kind of did it! A sort of "the birth of horror and how it continues today" sort of deal. I'm so envious of creatives. That thought probably rolled right out of you, and I couldn't have reached it if I tried. Keep being you.

Love Southbound! So yeah, I think that horror would not exist if it were not for short format stories. The modern genre was really born from short ghost stories and stuff like that, and so I think short films and anthologies are more in spirit with what horror is fundamentally than even movies games or full length books. I love shorter pieces and would like to cover them somehow in a video someday, but you’re right that it’s a bit tricky in trying to figure out what form that would take.

Hoping V/H/S gets a franchise video going through each segment. 99's Shredding is my favourite. Play or die! Play or die! PLAY OR DIE!

Comrade Junki

What's your take on anthology short form horror? V/H/S, ABC's of Death, Southbound (controversially might be my favorite), and about million others. You seem like you'd be a fan because of you've mentioned Goosebumps, Courage, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, etc. but the sub-genre itself seems like it would be crazy difficult to write or make a video about, so it's no surprise they're hardly ever mentioned anywhere.

Yeah! So sorry that hasn’t happened yet, that’s a priority that I need to actually really get done. Thank you for reminding me that I need to get on that because I’ve put that off too long
