Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Vintage Eight’s YouTube channel into the ol’ VCR. 

Okay, friends. YouTube is, once again, running the horror game. Instead of a specific series, we’re going to focus on an entire channel, Vintage Eight. 

Vintage Eight’s analog horror series are crafted in a way I haven’t seen from other accounts. The basic format of each series is simple, but I think that’s what makes it most effective. 

Vintage Eight relies on the story instead of its accompanying media to make our skin crawl. Through a mix of voice-over and stock photos and images mixed with new and/or altered images and videos, Vintage Eight’s unique storytelling is what really drew me to their channel. 

To no one’s surprise, I first learned of Vintage Eight from Baz’s channel (go like their videos and subscribe to both of their channels, plz) when I watched him cover The Children Under the House. 

I know I’ve said this before, but I would watch the HELL out of a film adaptation of The Children Under the House. I can see how the scenes would potentially play out in my head. Lin Shaye would absolutely be involved. Blumhouse, you know what to do. 

Additionally, I watched Baz’s reaction video for The Tangi Virus and was immediately transported back to watching the likes of Resident Evil for the first time. 

I was most recently smitten with The Oracle Project/The Human Trial series, wherein we see first-hand how dangerous AI can become. 

Another truly impressive component to the Vintage Eight channel is that many of these series are interconnected. Much like Kris Straub’s Ichor Falls, Vintage Eight has created Cate’s Crossing, a fictional mecca for supernatural, paranormal, and uh, all-around super messed up activity. 

Vintage Eight’s channel is a delightful hub of creepy content and diabolical delights. From series to shorts, there’s plenty of content to enjoy until it’s time to turn off the lights. 

Just know you might not be alone once you flip the light switch.
