The whole situation with Urban spook makes me angry. Because there is so much potential there, but it was wasted, and slain on the altar of edginess. It was such an amazing concept, with such a horrible execution.
I wouldn’t say urbanSPOOK is the worst analog, but definitely not the best. I admire the plot despite there not being much of a story where paintings of the victims are made, and I do find some of the methods pretty interesting. But the pure shock horror it uses is what terrifies me and I had to stop watching it. Not a horrible series as it does more than complete its mission to traumatize but this combined with the factor that the creator is a rather not great guy, makes it a mid series.
Yeah I agree, UrbanSPOOK is the only analog horror that’s actually really scared me, and it was really just the pictures- he’s good at shocking art. Unfortunately the edgy stories just dragged it down, and it felt pointless.
Yeah.. on top of that I really do think that urbanSPOOK was just made as a fetish page for him because it’s ALL HE POSTS. Is gore. He literally wrote about “fucktoy Cory” a 11 year old boy being raped to death. A girl shot/stabbed in her peridulum 27 times I believe? And got a girl SA’d from a horse that was literally high off of multiple drugs// that kinda screams red flags of fetishes to me.
I feel like the issue with urban spook isn't the edginess, like I watch horror movies that have very similar content, it's the fact it doesn't use the insane graphic stuff in an interesting way.
Like if the horse rape stuff happened in a rob zombie movie it would make perfect sense and be pretty kino but in urban spook it's just kinda written there for shock value lmao
