How Many Times Should I Post Horror Stories on YouTube a Day?

Image
  Credit to  YouTube Launches TikTok Competitor ‘Shorts’ in the U.S. I am currently posting on YouTube and TikTok again, after finding out that YouTube shorts are finally getting monetized on the algorithm. It never counted for my horror content before, and now I’m determined to see if I can reach my goal of getting my horror stories monetized.  The only thing I’m having trouble deciding is how many times to post on YouTube with my shorts. I decided to give it a shot on Sunday, posting about two mini horror stories. I posted one around 2ish in the afternoon, and I posted again around 9 p.m. The one around 2 p.m. received about 232 views in total so far. The horror story is about a couple who moves out of their home after they receive a scary picture in the mailbox from their stalker.  And yes, the story is fake, I would never post real stuff lol.  My other short video received about 15 views so far. The horror story is about a dog who discovers pile of huma...

No, I'm Not a Human is an Analog Horror Videogame with a Lot of Potential

Image
  Credit to  No, i’m not a human… - YouTube I recently found a trailer that caught my interest as I was navigating through YouTube. I was surprised to see a trailer for a new game that resembled the look of analog horror. I decided to play the video, and I was intrigued by the visuals, and the mysterious story about a random protagonist who finds themselves dealing with an unknown threat that attempts to take on human forms.  The player will have to figure out who is human or not, in order to survive whatever sort of creatures are currently invading the world. I was thrilled to hear pretty excellent voice acting sprinkled throughout the game. I felt chills when a random dude called 911, to let the operator know that people were burning in the street.  That was the beginning line of the trailer, and I knew at that moment I wanted to buy this game. It will be arriving sometime in April of this year, on PS5.  There is so much potential with this game, and I can't w...

'The Boy' Was Saved By its Unexpected Twist Ending

Image
  Credit to The Boy — Plugged In I have my fair share of horror movies that haven’t really stayed in my brain for a long time. I have seen plenty of slashers, body horror, supernatural, and monster like films that I have forgotten about pretty quickly.  And I’m not saying that any of these movies were super bad, I just forgot about them, I guess.  One of the few movies that I saw in 2016 has made me strongly believe I would have forgotten about the film…if it hadn’t been for that INSANE ending.  I’m not sure if many of you horror fans have seen The Boy that was released in 2016? The story that follows a woman named Greta who is asked to babysit a doll that is possibly possessed by a dead child named Brahms? Credit to Review: ‘The Boy,’ in Which a Doll May be Alive, or the Heroine May Be Mad — The New York Times I gotta be honest. The movie was sort of generic when it came to the scares and the buildup, but I did appreciate the bond that Greta was forming with t...

Final Girls is a Horror Slasher Masterpiece

  Credit to  Amazon.com: Final Girls: A Novel: 9781101985380: Sager, Riley: Books I had been hunting down this book for a long time. I felt so dumb when I realized that it had been written by an author I already knew, and I couldn’t believe that this book was right under my nose the whole time when I went to Barnes & Noble on Saturday! I heard so many great things about  Final Girls  by Riley Sager, and once I began reading this book, I became addicted to finish the book. We follow the story of a woman named Quincy Carpenter, who is considered to be a Final Girl. She was the only survivor from a serial killer who murdered all of her friends at Pine Cottage, when she was still in high school. However, Quincy isn’t the only Final Girl that received this title. Two other girls named Samantha Boyd and Lisa Milner also survived brutal attacks and were deemed to be the only survivors. Much to the annoyance of Quincy, all three of them became famous for their horrible o...

Lies of P is a Fantastic Horror Parody of Pinocchio

  Credit to  Buy Lies of P | Xbox I have finally gotten my hands on  Lies of P,  a videogame that received huge popularity when it was first released in September of 2023. It became so huge, that it led to a big struggle for me to even find a physical copy of the game. I know that I could have bought it digital for the PS5, but I felt compelled to own the physical copy when I first learned how tough it was to get your hands on one. I eventually did when a family member offered to buy me the game through Amazon. I was so grateful, and I lost track how many times I thanked her lol. Once I began to play this game on Tuesday of this week, I was immediately pulled into the strange Grimm world of puppets who had gone mad. Pinocchio’s creator, Geppetto, created many puppets for the city of Krat, to help people in their daily tasks. Like all inventions in the horror genre, shit went wrong fast. The puppets wiped out the entire city, killing anyone that was a human. After thi...
