The Blood Zone


Jan 12, 2020

 welcome back, universe!
 
on this episode i talk with David Stockdale of the Youtube channel Nightmare Masterclass about the disturbing fake videogame let's play/video art project/internet sensation Petscop. what is it? what distinguishes it from other creepypasta internet horror videos? is it a commentary on the commodification of children as marketing demographic and childhood nostalgia? (yes, it is). anyway, you can listen to me talk about this to David, who has made several lengthy and in-depth videos on the Petscop series on his youtube channel Nightmare Masterclass
 
hope you enjoy it! sorry it's taken forever to get up an episode - was busy with other stuff at the end of last year, and it takes a long time to edit these episodes! lol. i'll probably continue this trend of uploading episodes more gradually.
