Pull up a soggy log and pass the stale marshmallows—because tonight, Big Money Eddie and Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina Ace, are cracking open the camcorder and rewinding the cursed tapes of found footage horror! From shaky-cam classics to laughably lost causes, this campfire convo at Camp Creep dives deep into the dusty archives of the genre. They debate what actually makes found footage work, roast some overhyped flops, and unearth those hidden short films that leave a bigger impact than an entire haunted forest. VHS franchise? Maybe. Character development? Questionable. Comedy in found footage horror? Surprisingly welcome. If you’ve ever screamed “Who’s holding the camera?!”—this one’s for you. Just don’t look behind you… we’re still recording.

 

Know any found footage horror flicks that totally flopped? Enroll now and drop us 5 stars—maybe then we’ll finally stop recording what's lurking behind you… maybe.
