The Analog/Digital Horror Recommendation Post

A lovely follower of mine asked for recommendations on Analog Horror series to watch since I mentioned I'm a big fan of the genre. I figured it would be best to just make a big post about it all!

This post will be split up into three sections: 1) Direct links to Analog/Digital Horror series with series that I have actually engaged in being in red bold 2) Links to analog horror commentary Youtube channels that do a great job of breaking down and explaining series because they can get kinda confusing 3) Some particular series breakdown videos I highly recommend.

this started off as a quick companion sketch for my Nona (& Friends) playlist, but of course became something much more involved. If she'd had a portable tape player, I feel like Nona might have taken some moments to relax like this.

sometimes I think Gideon should get to be hugged. Harrow still doesn’t quite understand hugs.

so Alecto the Ninth

// follow up to this illustration! 💀💛

someone has probably pointed this out before but the a/symmetry between gideon unknowingly using her mother as a weapon and wake knowingly birthing gideon to use as a weapon has me feeling some things

saw the new Barbie trailer and had to do it to 'em

sometimes a family can be an illiterate 19 yr old, a scary lady, a dead librarian inhabiting the body of said scary lady, an ass joke addict with muscles for days, and Noodle

Another modern AU. One where Gideon is the sexy half of John Travolta in grease and harrow is probably a bitchy TA

What if I cut off your arm and made you a new one, what if you tried to kill me and we were both girls 👉👈

Nona the Ninth

The bday she deserves :) later they’ll go to the beach with all the dogs and the water won’t be infested by deadly jellyfishes

@torbooks For Jod’s sake, please give us some Alecto news, it’s getting desperate out here

harrowhark getting her lobotomy done at claire's
