The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (1959)
It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, the lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.
“No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality.” ― Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

The Man in The Suit by Unknowingly (Scariest Godzilla Horror)
Playlist on YT | Link Invidious -
N. Episodes: 11 | Status: Onging
This one seriously creeps me out. The man in the suit is a series of video about an actor who becomes increasingly obsessed with the Godzilla suit he wears, he exhibits strange behaviors, including prolonged periods of stillness and altered breathing. Eventually, crew members discover that the man body has grotesquely merged with the suit and he is no longer human.
>Godzilla may be a monster, but it seems to me otherwise. He is rather a god. Control our world according to each order. And I will be the flesh of the beast. I will be the host of Godzilla. Because I want to be a god who is respected by people. I want to be the flesh of this beast. And the fear of which one is wrong. I'm not a movie monster. It's Goji. The law of good and evil. I will live in this beast. Because he is the only one who can help us.
>There is no God. Just me. Goji.

Ted the Caver???
I agree. Ted the caver was an obvious choice. NoEnd House as well.

The Most Iconic Creepypastas Of All Time, Ranked | knowyourmeme.com
Article -
Creepypastas are some of the most memorable stories you'll find online. The name comes from copypasta, because creepypastas share the trait of being reposted everywhere online, but for very different reasons. Instead of mimicking spam or a niche form of humor, they're made to scare people, even if only a little. Some are mildly creepy, while others are a lot more unsettling or even involve elaborate viral hoaxes. And all of the best creepypastas have left a lasting mark on the people who have read them, because they're each composed well enough to leave some disturbing thoughts in our heads(...)

Analog Horror - Found Footage
Analog horror can be seen as a descendant of creepypasta and found footage films. It draws inspiration from earlier works like The Blair Witch Project and The Ring, which utilized similar themes of manipulated media and unsettling narratives. The genre gained traction with the success of Local 58, No Through Road, and Gemini Home Entertainment. It is characterized by its use of low-fidelity visuals, cryptic messages, and a nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of late 20th-century television and analog media, often set between the 1960s and 1990s

The Troop by Nick Cutter (2014)
>Once a year, scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a three-day camping trip; a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story and a roaring bonfire. But when an unexpected intruder -- shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry -- stumbles upon their campsite, Tim and the boys are exposed to something far more frightening than any tale of terror. The human carrier of a bioengineered nightmare. An inexplicable horror that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival that will pit the troop against the elements, the infected ... and one another.

Should I start a community about Analog Horror?
Here's the thing: I'm on lemmy.world, and there's already a community about Analog Horror called "[email protected]." I've posted there frequently over the past year. However, subscriber and vote engagement are quite low (ofk is not about the likes but i enjoy to have a minimum ammount of people checking the comunity posts to discuss a bit in the comment). Also the community mod seems to not be around anymore. Now I had a similar situation with another horror group before and since I've started my version on lemmy.world I was indeed able to find a small but active group of subscribers. Should I do the same? Would you be interested in this?
Btw.
> Analog horror is a subgenre of horror fiction and an offshoot of the found footage film genre, said to have originated online during the late 2000s and early 2010s with web series such as No Through Road, Local 58, Gemini Home Entertainment, and Marble Hornet.
UPDATE - THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS HERE'S THE LINK:
I've find a fan-made edited version online who cut away the whole elf-romance arc and it feels way better to watch.

Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror by Jordan Peele (2023)
A cop begins seeing huge, blinking eyes where the headlights of cars should be that tell him who to pull over. Two freedom riders take a bus ride that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama where several unsettling somethings await them. A young girl dives into the depths of the Earth in search of the demon that killed her parents. These are just a few of the worlds of Out There Screaming , Jordan Peele’s anthology of all-new horror stories by Black writers. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class in horror, and—like his spine-chilling films—its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world . . . and redefine what it means to be afraid.
Featuring stories Erin E. Adams, Violet Allen, Lesley Nneka Arimah, Maurice Broaddus, Chesya Burke, P. Djèlí Clark, Ezra Claytan Daniels, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, N. K. Jemisin, Justin C. Key, L. D. Lewis, Nnedi Okorafor, Tochi Onyebuchi, Rebecca Roanhorse, Nicole D. Sconiers, Rion Amilcar Scott, Terence Taylor, and Cadwell Turnbull.
