Gorefield video
🕑 Added 2020-06-07 16:00:00 +0000 UTCHey guys! as some of you noticed, we have just reached 666 Patrons, which means I will be doing a video on Gorefield!
Now, I always sort of intended this to be a Halloweeny sort of thing, and I think I am still going to aim for that sort of deadline. Maybe first week of October? It sounds far away, but it's only a couple months. In that time I'm going to be trying to do a lot of heavy research!
I would love tips on what books to read on Horror themes or topics. I want this to be more than just a list of Garfield internet horror projects. I want to get to the bones of the fat and and the genre he's found himself attached to. I would love notes!!!
Anyways, let's keep marching forwards to 1,000 Patrons!!! In the meanwhile, what other videos would you guys like to see? I might be interested in adding a few more stretch goals.

If you're going down the Rabbithole of internet horror I recommend studying Trevor Henderson's art and stuff. He does all these cool cryptids, he's also the artist behind Sirenhead
I used Tropefest! Attack of the Killer Cliches by Bob Green for my undergrad senior thesis research regarding horror tropes.

you might talk about junji ito. I feel like a lot of gorefield is influenced by his work

In particular, check out his Halloween movie essay

I assume everyone knows about Lasagna cat (https://www.youtube.com/user/lasagnacat) but here are a couple good overviews by Night Mind (https://youtu.be/8DZfYAGdzPI) and Inside a Mind (https://youtu.be/5XUwkfxN34k)

Paperbacks From Hell is a fun look at the 70s/80s horror boom. Lovecraft's "Supernatural Horror in Literature" is worth a skim.
Maybe it's worth bringing up Halloween 1989/Garfield Alone as an early precedent for Garfield being reinterpreted as horror content? Plus the general tendency for the internet to take nostalgic properties and remake them for horror (lost episode creepypastas etc)

As someone who signed up to help get you to those stretch goals, this is exciting news!
