You forgot Polybius, the one remade by LJN.

What's really scary about this episode is the lack of music. When the video started the music sounded like he was doing a paranormal investigation series. But later on the music just became completely silent. I think that's what horror movies are missing, no music sometimes disturbs people. But most horror movies prefer to use Erie music to "scare" you. Also no jump scares. It's better to build up tension then actually just go for the typical FNAF jump scare. (Except there was a jump scare at the end, but that's besides the point)

Out of all the psychological horror films that James has produced, this one takes the cake for being the most scary. It's followed very closely by both The Head Incident and The Head Returns.

Something small that I really love about this episode is how James is narrating the intro in a very unique way, as though he's playing a documenteer eager to learn more about Polybius than the Nerd himself.

Nothing that Polybius can do to the human mind could ever compare to the sheer terror unleashed upon it by Mr. Bucket.

He's gradually left the "Angry" part behind which is disappointing because that's what made these episodes so great. For a bit he kept it up but I think he found it hard to be angry without manufacturing it too much. I think it also has something to do with the fact that he covered most of the games that frustrated him in his childhood where most of his pent up rage came from.

The handprint

Got to commend James's acting and directing. This isn't just jokes anymore, actually shows some great talent.

So, essentially, Polybius is a creepypasta that's an amalgamation of true stories that were twisted to fit the story. That's interesting.

That's just a description of how humans think though. Humans are incapable of original ideas; every possible thought, fantasy and daydream that can form in your head are based on things you have previously been exposed to. This applies to every work of fiction, every piece of art and every product humanity has ever produced.

Not only one of the best AVGN episodes, but also one of the best found footage videos ever. Especially if you watched it in real time, and followed the daily uploads. (yeah, I fear people might forget that's how the episode was originally released, which made it even more special)
