#It's why Analog Horror or whatever Digital Horror etc went right off. It really won't hit as hard in the future imo

The best horror is the kind that is equally humorous as it is horrific.
Kinda like being stalked and harassed with memes, good luck explaining that in court to a judge. A twinge of humor with purposeful horror forces an almost fight or flight response between laughter and terror.
It's a balance mind you. One more than the other and it turns mediocre. And no, I don't me comedy horror, I mean you witness something that's breaking social norms in humorous ways but it's by something legitimately so horrifying you're genuinely split between your online grown instinctual humor and an absolute nightmare.
Like finding out your friend was killed by 5 clowns, it's very real, and there's just a polaroid of a facebook post of your face on your friend's body saying "next"-
like you really gotta grapple with many moving parts of emotions at once there. Not Knowing even for a second can be super effective.
