As a Minnesotan, I thought it was weird after I saw this that other people have never seen a woodcrawler. Whenever we had Thanksgiving we have to do a regular check to make sure Grandma is still Grandma.

nobody knows how badly i want to put all these videos onto a VHS & donate them to a charity shop or thrift store in hopes someone will stumble across them one day and be freaked out beyond belief lmao

I love how 'home invasion' somehow indicates that wood crawlers can have anxiety 😭

I really love how in gemini, the giants are protecting the earth, just like in real life. Jupiter and Saturn have a magnetic field strong enough to where it shifts asteroids that would normally be heading straight for earth away. In Gemini, it somehow weakens Iris to where it cant destroy the Earth until it deals with the Giants. Our Celestial Siblings need more credit tbh.

this all could’ve been avoided if the woodcrawlers just developed a functional and sustainable agricultural system

It's worth noting that the game "sardines" in Games For Children is similar to the instruction to hide in the bunkers. We know, from Lethal Omen, that bunkers don't actually stop anything. And people crammed inside a bunker would be exactly like sardines packed into a tin can, waiting to be eaten.

For this series, my favorite human has to be Jack. I love how, despite him never saying a single word for the entire series, I grew attached to him. He was the only human we'd seen record Woodcrawlers and Fake People, even getting a shot of the newly mutated Mary. He'd survived so many horrific attacks because, well, he's human. He prioritized his own life over others, seen when Mary "went down the stream" and in World's Weirdest Animals where, when the Fake Person rushes him down, he doesn't stand there and record it brutally converting or killing him. He turns and runs, not bothering to get a good shot. He advises on what to do to the best of one man's ability. He truly was one of the bravest analog horror protagonists I've ever known.

My fave part by far is when nexpo says "oh yeah, neptunes fucking missing." Such a responce like that deserves a reward

Whenever I see/hear audio like the "mimic" of someone crying for help, I'm always reminded of film classes where you have to call local authorities and warn any possible neighbors "hey we're going to be screaming and covered in blood it's art so it's ok please don't come here"

Honestly, it's just hilarious to think that the Woodcrawlers make VHS tapes for each other and include such reassuring messages as "I know breaking into human homes to steal their skin can be stressful, but we're gonna get through it!"

fun little detail: "albedo" (as in the "albedo alarm" recommended for storms) typically refers to the amount of light reflected from a light source such as the sun on the surface of a planet or moon. to me, this implies a hidden function of the alarms being to signal the location of humans to the woodcrawlers, or just a reference to sort of turning the earth into a beacon of sorts

I like the detail that the Iris targetted a few planets before turning its attention to Earth. Makes us feel a lot less important to it, which is good for the sense of our insignificance so vital to cosmic horror.

Nexpo feels like that show that you'd occasionally find on TV after everyone else has gone to bed and I AM LOVING IT!

what I love is that the cameraman isn’t a fucking idiot, he actually runs from the wood crawlers, prioritizes his live over the footage, etc. the smaller details really make the series

This is what I love about analog horror like this: each entry starts off fairly innocent and then quickly goes off the rails.

A catch-22 isn't a dilemma or difficult decision, it's from the book Catch-22 where not wanting to be in combat was a sign of being rational, so if someone is crazy they need to be grounded, but to be grounded they have to ask for it, which is a sign of being rational so they can't be grounded. So it's a paradoxical situation where there is no way to get the desired outcome.

“Oh yeah, and Neptune’s f*cking missing” Best Nexpo line 100%

I always loved how in the "how to start a fire" tutorial he's just like: 1: start a fire, if you're unsuccessful: a) die

As someone who studies space in my free time, seeing "Neptune has been mutated" sent fear rushing into my heart
