Lost Media from my childhood

I was having some trouble with Reddit loading so I will just post this here for now. Warning this post may be disturbing to some. There is something from my childhood that I had seen when I was young that caused me to dislike ants, which ended up going to just disliking ant hills to the point that I avoid them and avoid stepping on them or I will freak out, because it scared me shitless when I was younger. Basically what I remember was I was watching a program later than I should've been up at the time though there had been times I would stay up late doing various things as a kid. It was some kind of nature thing that were talking about this ant breed that was basically killers. It was styled like a National Geographic type documentary style from what I remember. With this basically calm narration of the whole thing going on overtop as if it wasn't actually horrifying what was happening. The one scene that stuck with me all these years was the one that basically traumatized me, making child me scared that the ants would come into my bed as my child imagination went wild. It was a scene of a camping trip with a mom, dad and a baby. The baby was put to bed in the tent and the parents were hanging out by the fire talking and smiling happily. Then it showed the ants sneaking into the open tent as a horde basically. Swarming the baby to begin devouring the child,  though nothing graphic was shown as it just showed basically swarming ants covering the entire infant, to which the baby cries so the parents rush in only to watch in horror as the ants devour their baby. I don't remember watching anymore of it as that was basically the time I turned it off then ran to my bedroom in my horror to what I had seen. I tried searching up what I remember though I can't find it and I don't even remember what the name of the thing was. I don't actually want to watch it again but watching some stuff about Lost Media made me think of that so I thought I would try to find it... With no results.... Does anyone else remember this? It probably aired on TV sometime probably around or after 2000 or so since I was born in 1997 but I was more of a kid or really young teen when I saw this. I know I watched it as a kid so I know that it was real. I just have memories from it and that is all.

any recommendations for analog horror that isnt a slideshow with microsoft sam telling you DONT LOOK OUTSIDE. like something unique lately

#something i really liked was the “lost media: obscure security system” one #and its unfortunate that its the only one from that individual at the moment #im giving “nocturnal chronicles” a shot but it starts off with poorly edited footage from... metropolis. #like we just put a scary face over her and had questionable glitch effects #the boiled one was cute- not exactly the most... idk compelling analog horror but the custom art and animation #can elevate a story youve heard a million times before #i am also trying to check out hit metal 17 times but Instagram

no the lost boys or sam aren’t “canonically gay” in that there’s never a scene where they outright state their sexuality, but the subtext is there, down to the end of the movie and the themes of the entire film centering around the perceived threat of a group of gay men, when in actuality the threat is a conservative man causing harm in the name of the nuclear family model. to me that’s as canon as a scene where they say that they’re gay.

#watching a video about queer horror earlier today and it really bothers me that subtext or even just not stating someone's sexuality #is seen as less than by a lot of people #outspoken rep in media is something that we need as well but movies like tlb are just as important #the lost boys #tlb #kate's bad takes

being the mutual with odd and semi-niche interests is hard work but someone has to fucking do it

#[ren] #im really just racking up a tally of odd semi-niche interests #i mean. like. scp dsaf 17776 paradise lost specifically soda nuclear radiation and the effects it has on the human body. #<- and horror media as a whole tbh #i can keep fucking going . its impossible for me to have normal interests that i can talk about in normal everyday conversation

also, i really really miss tma. and when i say that, i mean i don't actually give a shit about the plot or the characters, i just miss listening to all these fucked up horror stories of the week. fuck the powers or whoever those were, tell me more about the creepy cave or that weird ass computer.

#god i loved tma a lot ngl #what other media is it like that? like contained little horror stories? horror antologies? cause that was my fave part #THE WAY A STURDY LOCK FUCKED ME UP (and then the followup totally ruined it fjfjfjf) #lost johns cave......ART #according to jules

[hunsa-jars]

Actually, do we have any Moomin creepypastas out there?

#i ask as i'm trying to sleep and not think about the horrors #genuinely curious like REAL creepypastas with over edited bloody big smile void eyed images #urban legends about cursed tapes or haunted video games? 'lost media'? anything? #please i need to know #random squeak #moomin #moomins

[bear-of-mirrors]

And don’t they look great on my timeline??

#Star Wars #supernatural encounters #star wars expanded universe #Star Wars lost media #lost media #cosmic horror #Star Wars legends #after a decade it’s in print! #and even revised enough to retroactively bring Lothal into Legends cause the author liked Rebels so much!

Realized it’s the 36th anniversary for The Lost Boys (released July 31, 1987) a.k.a the movie that fundamentally changed me as a child (in a queer way)

Usually I link my ko-fi to my art pieces but considering this is a movie distributed by Warner Bros., I’m not gonna cause even though I just draw for fun for a small amount of followers, I don’t wanna risk making money from this post specifically (as unlikely as it is). I don’t know how strict the lines are for fan content that are made by the companies being struck right now (both for new media and old media), I just know that you can’t take any deals that a company tries to make with you in order promote current work for the companies being struck. However, considering I want to work in the industry one day, I’m not going to risk it by putting the ko-fi link directly onto this post. I’m only using this fanart to express my love for how this movie was written and acted, as it is filled with so much queer subtext, iconic comedic lines, and genuinely scary moments. This movie would not be a cult classic without the writers and actors involved, and considering this movie is on streaming sites like Netflix, those actors and writers should be paid for what they are worth, and I want to express that.

#the lost boys #the lost boys 1987 #michael emerson #michael the lost boys #joel schumacher #horror movies #tw eyestrain #mcart #that long paragraph may come across as over dramatic but I really just wanna cover my bases when posting art that is related #to the companies that are being struck right now because even though I see fanart being post of new media stuff as well as people #spreading the word to watch something I wanna be as clear as I can when I post something because it’s important to me #and even though I’m not being paid to promote anything since I’m literally nobody on here #I’m not gonna risk it by putting my ko-fi link on art that is fan art of media related to the struck companies #because I would really like to work in the industry one day #hopefully when a deal is made that rightfully pays the workers what they are deserved among other things #so whenever I post fanart expect a long paragraph to be in place of the ko-fi link

ppl on the internet when a piece of media is really good and therefore popular: um actually im starting to think its overrated....

#kill the film critic in your head im serious #this was spurred on by someone in youtube horror poll seeing that petscop was winning the last round and saying it was overrated #sometimes media is just good. idk what to tell you man #i feel like we've lost the meaning of overrated. it doesnt just mean smth thats really popular lol #its smth that is not very good but really popular bc of hype from fans/critics. esp if its just a fad #basically cry me a river petscop is 1000x better than any local58 clone #petscop has everything: originality. believability. an amazing story. the best visuals ive seen from webhorror besides valley verde (which- #-petscop preceedes by like 6 or 7 years) #and uh what does gemini home entertainment have? thats right NOTHING #go watch local58 if you want a good youtube horror series in the style of old news broadcasts #sorry i think webhorror brings out my meaner side lol #ignore if you like ghe ig

i found this piece of promo art for 'Halfbrick Zombies', the a game that would be later reworked into 'Age Of Zombies', on the Halfbrick Network Twitter account. the game in this state looks much more like a survival horror and has a much darker tone than what it ended up becoming. i think i'd really like to see a game featuring Barry with a much more grim life-or-death feel, it'd be super interesting!! it looks super cool and i kinda wish it was released in this form :)

#barry steakfries #age of zombies #halfbrick #halfbrick studios #technically lost media? i mean the game never released and there's not much information on it so #i guess it counts as lost media #i'll tag it anyway #lost media #there we go :) #anyway yeah a survival horror game with Barry in it would be awesome!!! it'd be a nice chance to see Barry be in actual scarring danger #with real stakes and lives on the line #maybe it could have multiple endings that all count on how many zombies you killed and how many of your teammates #are still alive #like a solo ending could be if Barry killed all the zombies but his teammates are all dead #or one of the bad endings could be if Barry dies but only one of your teammates are left #or one for if you don't kill all the zombies in every level but all your teammates are left and they think they're safe #but they hear scratching at the door to their base and they're not safe at all.... y'know some ideas #might make a fanfic out of this i dunno #interactive fanfic sorta thing #that would be cool and epic if it weren't for one thing.... ✨procrastination and fixation keeping me from finishing it✨ lol #anyway yeah halfbrick zombies is epic and awesome

Me: I’m such a coward. I could never watch anything horror related or overly gory.

Lost Media: *dubiously exists*

Me: Y o u .

#go for a punch #saki sanobashi #lost media #horror anime #like #i would still be terrified and look away #mute it #or even just fast forward #but if it exists I would watch it just to confirm #and then cry #it probably doesn’t exist though.

im gonna tbh with yall, listening to magnus archives again without the constant fanon bleed and regular discussion etc.... definitely colors it a different way lol! i have more criticisms than i did when i listened to it the first time and it makes me a bit sad because i love it so so soso much. just coming up on the unknowing arc and i'm mentally strapping myself in because i'm realizing things [I dont like jmart very much / would like it MUCH BETTER if martin was actually a twist villain and web aligned i keep seeing the wires johnny i am shaking you by the shoulders DID YOU TAKE WEB ALIGNED EVIL MARTIN FROM US TO APPEASE THE FOUND FAMILY FANFICTION SOFT TEENAGE FANS ..... tell me why jonelias is so much more appealing to me now relistening to it as a grown ass woman . PAIN].

#tma #i speak #im so sorry......... martin ... you deserved to be more manipulative and evil #and jon WHYYYYY do you keep not standing up for yourself . everyone is just mad at him and he keeeps taaaking it #get a little meaner pal. you guys both deserve it #i forgot how much i loved mean ass horrible bastard tim. not joking i love him miserable #he's the only bitch in this house i fully respect. he knew about smirke before everyone. he got his backstory. he lost everyone. #then he made it the stranger's fucking problem. you took them have fun exploding you idiots. i dont forgive you . but thank you for this. #IM FUCKING RABID. #gertrude and everything about her is still mwah chefs kiss though. no notes. go grandma go #she sucks and dies and kicked ass while doing it no whining from gertrude. #anyway cant tell if my tastes have matured or im just more critical because im not listening alongside my friends every week #or maybe im just kind of a biiiiiiiii... tch . now. it happens. #tma critical #not really but i guess.. just in case????? #oh last thought i swear im not just an edgelord i just really like when horror media actually really commits. #thats why timsasha is what i latched onto btw the no happiness of it is the APPEAAAAALLLL #THERE WIKLLB E NO KISSING IN THE MAGNUS INSTITUTE

nothing better than the joy of thinking a book is cheaply written and then reading it and discovering it's excellent

#I will say that the last horror book I read was so cheaply written that I forgot a good people die all the time in horror media #because literally not a single good character died in that last book #meanwhile I'm halfway through this one and we've already lost like three excellent people I'm so heartbroken #if we lose one of the lesbians I'm going to riot #ace txt

[earmuffstar]

do you ever think about deleted ao3 fics that you cared about deeply and spent hours reading and re-reading and now they’re gone and you’ll never read them again or are you normal

#this is specifically about this one voltron fic where lance was altean and had a twin sister #and there was some zombie horror aspect #it was post season 2 so shiro was gone but allura was pregnant #this was before we knew allura was supposed to be a teenager mind you #and they were trapped in some star system #which had something to do with lance's dead twin sister #at some point lance was having dreams of things that weren't real and keith gave him a bracelet to show it was real when he was wearing it #and then someone died while he was wearing the bracelet and it turned out the reality was the other way around #where the bracelet sequences were fake and the non-bracelet sequences were real #i think about this fic all the time #saw it from like chapter 5 to its conclusion #the other thing im thinking about is the tss animatic to home by cavetown #theres a lot but the one im thinking about was removed for copyright #endlessly sad about lost media
