* ObscuredSpecialEffects: It's rare to get a really good look at the special effects in an Analog Horror series. Part of it is to emphasize the NothingIsScarier feel, but it's also because these series are typically made with very low budgets that can't achieve the kinds of detailed FX found in Hollywood movies. This is also the reason for the nearly ubiquitous use of DeliberateVHSQuality, as the visual filter makes it even harder to see FX flaws.

I know it's not a videogame, but it felt right.

Added DiffLines:

* MissionControlIsOffItsMeds: For Analog Horror videos that center on emergency broadcasts or newscasts or otherwise are meant to speak with any kind of authority, this is ''very'' common. Seemingly normal videos will often degrade into nonsensical advice that at best wants to help despite its surreal nature, and is at ''worst'' completely incomprehensible and/or taken over by the villain of the series.

* BlackMarket: [[WebOriginal/EASScenarios EAS Scenario]] creator Harvester's video ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaUObk1igsQ The Service]]'' has this played out to a shocking degree; a criminal syndicate based in the South of England is using a modified version of UsefulNotes/{{Teletext}} to conduct their dealings, including the trafficking of children, distribution of illicit films, and the sales of medicines, recreational drugs and, worryingly, the chemical weapon Cyclosarin. Scarier still, this syndicate's operating almost in plain sight, with the footage shown only being possible because a viewer happened to be watching television with a dodgy satellite dish, allowing them to accidentally gain access to the Teletext system the syndicate uses.

Some have accused Analog Horror of becoming a bloated genre, rife with {{Cliche}} and having [[SeasonalRot little left]] in terms of new or original ideas to explore. The reliance on generated audio and video effects as opposed to shooting live footage creates a relatively low barrier to entry, meaning new Analog Horror series appear quite often. These often vary quite a bit in terms of scope, subject, and quality, in a way that is not always directly connected to the popularity of the series. [[NewbieBoom The runaway success]] of certain Analog Horror series has only further contributed to this apparent bloating.
