Are Longer Videos the Secret to Solving the YouTube Algorithm?

Image
  Credit to https://www.tubefilter.com/2017/04/04/four-strategies-for-the-freshest-content-on-youtube/ I have been uploading on YouTube lately, sticking to an upload of posting a horror video once a week. From my personal experience, I have learned something new, and while it doesn’t work with every video, I have noticed three videos have gotten quite a bit of views. All because these three videos had one thing in common: they were all a bit longer than most of my other videos! Another thing that I think led to the videos getting more views, are the topics that I decided to go over for these videos. I also focused on something else this time around, going for analysis or theories when it comes to horror movies or the characters that appear in these films.  The first video that I did was over one character from the Godfather, who went through his downfall, going from a good man to a monster during the film. It was an analysis video going over the character’s transformation....

I Want to Watch the Foundation Television Show so Bad

Image
  Credit to New ‘Foundation’ Season 2 Trailer: Apple TV+’s Epic Sci-Fi Series Returns On July 14 I’m a huge fan of sci- fi shows, and I recently heard about a TV show called Foundation. I’ve always been a fan of shows like this, and I recently learned that I won’t be able to watch the show anytime soon. The show is only on Apple TV and Amazon Prime, which really sucks. I prefer buying my shows when it comes to particular shows I really want to own, and there is no way in hell that I’m paying for these random apps.  Amazon Prime and Apple TV are a bit too expensive for me right now, and I’m currently paying for three other apps, but they are at very decent prices.  This is pretty random, but I’ll stop talking about this right now. I felt the need to rant about how expensive some of these apps are.  From what I have learned about Foundation, it’s kind of similar to Star Wars. It’s about an ongoing war between many different groups of people, and I believe this sho...

Hollywood 90028 is an Odd Horror Film

Image
  Credit to Hollywood 90028 | Coolidge Corner Theater Hollywood 90028, which is already a pretty weird title, is one of the strangest horror films I have seen in a long time. This film analyzes the psyche of a young man named Mark, who is a killer. We don’t actually ever get to learn his backstory, but we get strong hints as to what he went through as a child.  His brother had died when he was young, and this event traumatized Mark, transforming him into a killer who strangles young women that he spends time with. Why he only focuses on young woman was also a huge mystery, and I wonder if maybe his mother had anything to do with this killer within him. I believe that he blamed her for his brother’s death, and this stayed with him for years.  Again, this is only a theory, because this film only leaves you puzzle pieces for his backstory. This movie is freaking weird, and I did struggle whether or not I did enjoy watching it.  Mark is revealed to be a killer in the beg...

Smiling Friends is like an R - Rated Version of Gumball

Image
  Credit to  Watch Smiling Friends - Season 1 | Prime Video I have recently been watching Smiling Friends, and it's one of the most hilarious shows I have seen in animation. Smiling Friends follows the story of two characters named Charlie and Pim, who are working for a company known as Smiling Friends. They are in charge of putting a smile on people's faces, and the duo goes through so much insanity just to get their clients to smile.  Despite this creative concept, the other characters around the two main ones are also significant to the story. Their own boss is pretty insane, and they also have two other employees named Glep and Alan who are important to the story of the show. The characters goes through the most random scenarios, while we are also exposed to real life conversations that sound way too raw to listen to. The show is a perfect blend of the random stuff in an animation show, while we are introduced to real life events that I'm sure many of us have experien...

The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) is a Great Horror Premise with Amazing Body Horror

Image
  Credit to The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) — IMDb I was told over and over by multiple family members, that this film was pretty disgusting, and that I had to watch it. My curiosity eventually got the better of me, once I was finally able to watch the movie for free on Tubi. The body horror in this movie is definitely in the disgusting radar, and I also felt so bad for the people who became these animal-like creatures.  While this movie did have a pretty bad pacing issue when it came to the events that take place, the movie’s plot was still entertaining, and the body horror was way too impressive to stop watching the film. I honestly enjoyed the characters so much in this film, the actors did their characters justice, and I felt pretty sad once the movie ended.  It’s crazy what some people are willing to do to somehow sustain some form of power over others, these people who were forced to become animals never deserved their awful fates.  The movie begins with a man ...

Our Winter Monster is the Horror Book of the Year

Image
  Credit to Amazon.com: Our Winter Monster: 9781641296335: Mahoney, Dennis: Books I know that it’s way too early to state I found the horror book of the year, but Our Winter Monster is way too original to not mention this. I was in Barnes & Noble last year, and I had found the hardcover to Our Winter Monster by accident, and I remember how I couldn’t take my eyes off the cover.  I had a gut feeling this book was a masterpiece, I’m not sure how I knew this, but this cover could never leave the back of my head. I wanted to buy it so bad at the time, but I’m not exactly a fan of hardcovers, so I told myself to wait until it would eventually be released in paperback format.  I’m so glad I waited, because I was finally able to purchase a copy last week in another Barnes & Noble. This felt like I was holding onto a goldmine, and it certainly continued to feel that way once I started to read the book. I don’t normally mention this as often when it comes to horror stories...

Issac Night is Wednesday's Best Villain

Image
  Credit to  Wednesday Season 2 | Isaac Night Backstory Scene Recap I finally got to finish Wednesday season 2, and I loved the new villain that was introduced in this season! Issac Night was the new villain for the Addam's family, and he was hands down the best foe yet! I wasn't expecting his backstory to be so fascinating, and his character was written to PERFECT Tim Burton fashion.  I never thought Tim Burton would ever go back to his old ways when it comes to his evil villains, and we finally got another great one, similar to the villains from his old films from the past! What I love about the Wednesday television show, is that it feels like you're watching two of the Beetlejuice films, combined with animation, that is translated into live action.  Tim Burton is a master of his craft when it comes to weird horror, and he pulled it off somehow through a television show, which I never thought he would ever attempt during his career! The weirdness of the show and th...
