Film Theory: This is an EMERGENCY Alert! (Local 58)

EMERGENCY ALERT: FILM THEORY POSTED

I'm so happy that Local 58 is back, not because it was the original first Analog Horror before Mandela Catalogue, but also because it's been years since hear of that series.

I think the distinction between "Alien Horror" and "Cosmic/Lovecraftian Horror" is what is supposed to be scaring you. With aliens, it's the aliens themselves that are meant to be frighting. With cosmic horror, while it can have aliens, the fear is more focused on the unknown and/or the insignificance of man kind in the infinite universe.

Another interesting detail: The Woman in Profile's first appearance was in 1961, the same year that Yuri Gagarin was the first man to orbit the earth. It's already been established in the series that space is "their" domain, so it seems like this is implying that when we invaded (for lack of a better term) "their" domain, "they" retaliated and began to invade ours. *edit* Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth for the first time on April 12, 1961. The Woman in Profile's first recorded sighting was June 13, 1961. There's definitely something there, and I can't wait to see how much further Kris Straub takes this story.

Straub really hitting us with that Crystal Skull “they’re not aliens, they’re extradimensional beings”

I don't know if it would count as a Film Theory, but if you're digging up old theories, I would love to see the completed Petscop theory. Matpat promised a final episode years ago and never completed it. I think new videos have been added since then, too.

I just wanna say this cuz I am a nerd, but in Greek mythology an Eidolon is a ghost who can take humans as their host and control them (leaving the human soul in the body to just kinda watch their boy do horrible things). The more you know. Plus yall at the Theory channels seem to like Greek myths so I sent this to you :)

Also another thing that was never mentioned in the film theory episodes to local 58 is that in "show for children", when the skeleton walks around the graveyard when it hasn't yet looked into a grave, the tree that it passes by naturally covers the moon, because the moon is further away than the tree. But when looking into the second grave, you can see the moon in the corner of sky when you look at it from the graves perspective.After looking into the second grave the moon gets darker and looks a lot more grim, and when the skeleton walks by another tree, the moon covers the tree, as if it was getting closer and closer, and in fact following the skeleton, as we can see when the skeleton lies in a grave that was dug in a cave, and yet the moon stares into the grave.

If you go frame by frame during 10:38 you can see the words “safety in numbers”

I love how not only local 58 came back, but it also explained Candle Cove, one of my favorite creepypastas
