I'm not really sure about this one.

I wanna classify it under Lost Episode, since the narrator is claiming that they can't find the movie anywhere else and it has scary stuff in it that fucked them up, typical LE stuff. I don't really get why something like this would just turn someone off of shock-gore and the such, it doesn't seem THAT terrifying, but perhaps I'm desensitized to it myself.

The reason I think your latest hit, Lost Episodes Can Be Found Again, worked so well because it deviated from the LE cliches, in the sense that it wasn't so much about the video itself, but rather the circumstances surrounding the video. But this is just about the video, and how it screwed up the viewer.

The random black figure at the end was just that, random. I love venturing into paranormal stuff all the time in my stories, but that whole bit after the awkwardly phrased "I wasn't being honest, that was actually the second scariest scene" felt extremely tacked on from nowhere. I'd cut that out, or somehow expand upon it, preferably the former.

I did enjoy the idea that this film was not actually made as a film, but rather someone stitching together meaning different pieces of media in order to create a "documentary". That creeped me out.

This needs some work, but I hope this helped.
