Analog horror is a WebOriginal subgenre of FoundFootage. It stems from various channels creating EAS (Emergency Alert System) scenarios, which mainly rely on audio as opposed to visuals. It first appeared with visuals in TheNewTens when the TropeMaker ''WebVideo/Local58'' made their first video[[note]]"Weather Service", uploaded October 26, 2015[[/note]]. It quickly spawned imitators, leading to the creation of this genre. These videos are almost always less than 10 minutes long and take the form of TV broadcasts, VHS tapes, radio broadcasts, or anything similar. They typically start out mundane and get progressively weirder/scarier.

* StrictlyFormula: A major criticism of the genre, as nearly all analog horror videos involve [=VHS=] effects, "cryptic" imagery and ambiguity about the subject matter. In addition, lot of analog horror videos involve fake emergency broadcasts.

To say this genre is blooming is a bit of an understatement, and new one-shots and series classified as Analog Horror are popping up all the time, and vary quite a bit in terms of scope, subject and quality.

Because videos of this genre have [[AmbiguousSituation vague circumstances surrounding them]], it is a big magnet for WildMassGuessing.

[[folder:Tropes commonly found in Analog Horror]]
* AdultFear: These show up often. Whether they be about trust in the media, when death may strike, our electronics getting hacked, or any other fear.
* AmbiguousSituation: Many circumstances surrounding the footage is kept vague.
** In the ''[=Local58=]'' video "Contingency", is the video telling people to [[spoiler:kill themselves]] out of sheer pride and patriotism, or is it because it's genuinely better than the presented alternative?
** In ''The Minerva Alliance'' video "Unusual EAS", is the thunderstorm really a thunderstorm? Is it a BrownNote weather event that people must not look at? It could be anything they don't want you to see.
* ApocalypseHow: Some videos deal with the world ending or transforming into something unrecognizable.
* BigBad: ''WebVideo/Local58'' has the moon, ''WebVideo/GeminiHomeEntertainment'' has "the iris" at the far edge of the solar system, etc.
* BrownNote: Many videos are said to contain harmful stimuli. ''[=Local58=]'' has looking at the moon at the wrong time, ''The Minerva Alliance'' video "Game Show Spectacular" is said to have killed a boy who watched it, ''Analog Archives'' has "spectral frequencies" of light that are harmful to humans, etc.
* DecadeThemedFilter: Most commonly TheNineties with DeliberateVHSQuality, but occasionally older-style filters will be used, such as film grain for things made in TheSixties. TV channels found in analog horror would also have different {{vanity plate}}s, music and visuals for different decades.
* DeliberateVHSQuality: This is the most common filter applied to videos of this genre, since many videos are set in the TurnOfTheMillennium or before.
* DoNotAdjustYourSet: Interruptions are quite common in analog horror, and videos without them are in the minority.
* EmergencyBroadcast: Every analog horror channel contains at least one of these. ''WebVideo/Local58'' has "Weather Service", ''WebVideo/TheMinervaAlliance'' has "Unusual EAS", and so on.
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Most videos show a single broadcast, with nothing to suggest it goes on for longer than the video's duration.
* FreezeFrameBonus: Many things show up too fast to see, most often in the form of UnreadablyFastText.
* HauntedTechnology: This is what causes many of the broadcast intrusions.
* InUniverseCamera: The only cameras in analog horror, due to being a subgenre of FoundFootage.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: This ambiguity is present in many videos.
* NothingIsScarier: Analog horror rarely shows much of what's causing interruptions and chaos.
* OminousVisualGlitch: These are quite common, often signaling greater horrors to come in the video.
* RealityHasNoSoundtrack: Music only appears when it logically should appear.
* {{Retraux}}: Most videos have this visual style applied to them. Usually in the video era (mid-1980s to mid-2000s), but occasionally prior eras will show up.
* SilenceIsGolden: Spoken dialogue is surprisingly rare in this genre. The vast majority of these words are on screen. Any spoken words may be distorted beyond comprehension or spoken with a text-to-speech voice.
* VanityPlate: These are shown to make it look like a fictional company made these videos, or are receiving interruptions.
* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: A common thing to say when a TV station regains control of its broadcast.
