![]() Humans are natural conspiracy theorists, cause reality sucks and it's more fun to believe Elvis is still alive instead of focusing on what's happening around us. We love taking things that are 'known' and shaking them up. The what-ifs of the world are always more appealing than the reality we live in - it's why we believe in Bigfoots (Bigfeet? Debate.) and ghosts and aliens. There's no definitive proof that they're real, but we'll do anything to convince ourselves otherwise. Millennials are ruthless conspiracy junkies, we will literally argue till the sun comes up to defend our beliefs. From FNAF Fanatics to the "Who Is Gonna Kill Rick Sanchez" obsessors (that's my current category), everybody has a niche subject they like spend time delving into the what-ifs of. Lucky for us we live in an age of technology, where we can hop on Reddit or Wikis in an instant, we have easy access to be able to research, create, and share theories about our favorite stories with each other and the world and, if you're anything like me, YouTube is your go-to place for the latest in media theories. One day YouTube autoplay blessed me with the most wonderful new content I never knew I needed (see what I did there?). It's Treesicle, a group of dudes with way too much time on their hands, a penchant for sneaking the word butt into every other sentence like an art form, and fantastic senses of humor - and you really need to be watching their stuff.

![]() If it isn't obvious, I love horror and well-written stories. I am a fan of the slow, more psychological horror, stuff that creeps like the last hour of a workday - anticipation mixed with the slowing of time. Because of this fact, I used to be a big fan of American Horror Story and was immediately captivated by the characters, the drama, the scares. However, like many, I lost interest around the Hotel installment and just stopped caring around Roanoke (don't even get me started on Cult). There's something as a fan of horror and of a well spun yarn that's incredibly appealing when it comes to a menagerie of tales being thrown together in cohesive stylings. Collections of classic horror tales, an anthology series, shows like Black Mirror and the hope that the Universal Studios movie monster series won't be a total flop. That's good content. Opposite of that, nobody really sits down and thinks "hm, I willingly want to watch SyFy today, that's my channel to go to for 'good' content" - true, they blessed us with Sharknado in all its glory, but other than a few shows here and there over the years it just kind of existed as the channel you default to when nothing else was on. Enter Channel Zero, a surprisingly under-the-radar masterpiece of unsettling horror that just kind of exists - which is a really powerful aspect of this show. It just exists, it just is, and it weaves dark tales that are uniquely unsettling and well-paced. In an era of anticipated, cheap jump-scares, Channel Zero dared to be different. The show is phenomenal, the production quality is stunning, and if you're a horror fan in need of a good binge-worthy series this fall season, let AHS lie in the gravesite it dug itself into and turn on SyFy's Channel Zero (all episodes now streaming on SyFy, btw). |
