Found Footage Craze


Listen Later

Found footage never stays dead—and in this episode, we explore why. From The Blair Witch Project to Paranormal ActivityRECHost, and the digital-age horrors taking over livestreams and TikTok, this subgenre has survived every trend and every wave of criticism.

Join us as we dig into the origins, the iconic scares, the psychology behind why “real” terror hits harder, and the new wave of creators pushing found footage into bold and terrifying territory.

We break down the scariest moments ever caught “on camera,” the impact of modern tech on horror, and what the future of found footage could look like in 2026 and beyond.

If you love shaky cams, night vision, glitching tapes, or that feeling of watching something you weren’t supposed to, this episode is for you.

Press play… and don’t look away from the camera.
