      @@wilmagregg3131 i can really only speak from my experiences, but I find that my hallucinations become louder (they're auditory hallucinations) and more frequent during times of emotional or psychological distress. As for content, I do tend to hear more frightening things when I'm in duress compared to when I'm not. For example, when my step grandfather died shortly after my mother disowned me, I would hear what sounded like the screaming of someone being tortured or voices telling me I was going to die next, but my baseline hallucinations are people saying my name or trying to tell me things that I don't understand

    To me, the whole story of CH/SS feels sad and tragic instead of scary. I still wonder why did the deer creature, aka Katia, continued to hurt people, even after the collapse of Soviet Union. Can’t think of any other reason except for being trained to do that and wanting for some revenge.
    Also, as a person who’s interested in history of Soviet Union and who lives in a country that was once known as LSSR, it’s really cool to see that the first YT analogue series was connected to USSR!

      @dormiebasne3578 Před 2 lety +50

      I think of Katya as being in a static state of mind, "a deer in headlights" but the deer has quasi-supernatural powers. She's angry and vengeful, like a spirit that left the world with extreme bitterness. The project gave her a purpose and an outlet for her anger.
      Say what you will of the Cold War backdrop of this series, but Katya is probably one of the most compellingly portrayed and humanized antagonists I've ever seen in a webseries with this little characterization.
      All we have for her is a death certificate, some taunts and paperwork from the Soviet experiments. Yet she is chilling.

    Honestly, with any horror story that has some creature that's supposed to be similar to a real animal (in, this case a deer or moose), I always like to think that. Besides the obvious or pointed out differences, it still kinda acts like that animal.
    Like, you leave out a bag of bird seeds or corn or something, and in the morning you wakeup and see this demonic looking deer-thing just, kinda chilling. Munching on some corn. Not really bothering you (assuming you're not the unfortunate souls that it's going after).
    Dunno if that actually applies here but, I think it's funny to think about.
    Anyways, great video man, keep up the awesome work. :D

      @adenowirus Před 2 lety +28

      Interestingly I've had a somewhat similar idea while watching the video. I thought that it would be fun if there was an unfiction series where amid some other trouble the characters notice that there's a strange creature stalking the area around their house (it wouldn't be their main concern, but rather an another problem to deal with, kinda like the Rake in EverymanHybrid), but over the course of days or weeks they slowly realise that it's not really hostile. Ideally it would end with a tweet announcing that one of the characters decided to leave some salmon out for it, accompanied by a blurry photo of said creature peacefully eating outside.

      As a zoomer, I don't think that I have any baseline for what it would be like living during the Cold War -- yet so many people that I know have. I think my generation has accepted that the world will end because of human stupidity or whatever and grieves in its way, but I don't think I'll ever get the immediacy, the feeling people had that any moment could be _the_ moment. As fascinated as I am by the Cold War, people's memories of it, and the media about it, I really hope I never have to know.

    9:51 I'd like to point out once again (I vaguely remember making the same point several yrs ago here on Night Mind) that прославленные лицемеры is not semantically identical to 'glorified hypocrites'. Russian phrase sounds unnatural and looks like a backwards translation from English. To put it simply, 'glorified hypocrites' is probably the intended meaning, but whoever put this text in the video most likely didn't speak Russian.
    If you're making ARG or any creative project and intend to use Russian, please note that online-translation for Russian language if still far from perfection. It'd be more reliable to find a Russian person and ask them to translate a phrase or two; there are a lot of us Russians on the internet, a lot of us know English and interested in ARGs and such. Try r/russian, for example. Or maybe I can help. Good luck!

    My reading on how the antler creature came to be is that it was indeed some sort of creature created by the Soviet Union, but as it was entirely loyal to them, it was probably a member of the party who really did want to do what they could to overthrow the American government.
    However, once CH/SS was created, the mission was changed to first taking out CH/SS, and then returning to attacking US officials and whatnot.
    But I believe some time in the late 80’s, the antlered creature was killed, but left behind a human widow, as the creature was formerly human itself. The widow was so distraught she begged the Soviets to let her take his place so she could have revenge, but they either declined, or collapsed before they could go through with it.
    However, many years later, either the Russian Federation renewed the program or the program was recreated by some sort of shoddy group of scientists, and the widow was unleashed in 2016 so she could finally have her revenge. And the widow is Kadia.

It's SO similar to the one the USDTP in Mandela uses to request people call with questions about the "television and mirror destruction order". The USDTP number is identical except the last four digits are 0156. The time frame of the late eighties, the DC location, the plague of mental health issues, and the increase of suspicious people/distortion/hallucinations brought on by strange, otherworldly presences, makes me wonder if Mandela is supposed to be connected to CH/SS

    It's interesting how tonally different this is from most current analog horror. This reminds me far more of NOC+10 in the sense that it's immediately establishing a cohesive, singular narrative. Most analog horror is created to be more like self-contained shorts that fit together in a unified setting. There might be a meta-narrative, but it doesn't have a traditional Three Act structure.
    Watching this series back, it made me realize what makes analog horror effective specifically for me: the fact that they are taped broadcasts of things at least somewhat reminiscent of things I could have watched when it was actually aired. CH/SS, as a result, isn't quite as effective for me as a horror project, but it still is a very clever and tightly written story that I appreciate all the same. Watching CH/SS feels more like I'm watching someone's dirty secrets instead. A different appeal to be sure, but the horror gets lost somewhere for me.

    Y'know, Analog Horror is kind of like the Man Vs. Monster craze that started around the time Night Mind started. Every web series online featured a protagonist going up against a monster, typically with a found-footage style and light ARG elements. I'd argue CH/SS bridges the gap between the online horror of old and new. It's the perfect blend of Man Vs. Monster and Analog Horror, hitting a lot of the tropes of both and letting the two styles play off of each other.

    16:14 not to nitpick the writing from the creators, but it would have been much more realistic had they done research and actually named a medication instead of putting “anti-anxiety prescription”. I’ve seen hundreds of medical records and never has a doctor been vague in them and said “the anti-anxiety prescription/medication” in any chart. They would say “patients medication has been increased” or “wrote prescription for (insert medication) for patient today for anxiety, F/O next month to evaluate dosage”. It doesn’t change things in the grand scheme of the story but it also makes them work harder to pick an illness or issue the patient will be dealing with and what medications associated with that illness that were used. It will make the story more real to those who understand the medical field.
