The Psychological Horror Potential of Herobrine

Ойындар

Hey I'm mey:3
I love me some Minecraft video essays so I wanted to do one about Herobrine (very short tho) I love the guy what can I say.
I just wanted to tell you how good the legend of Herobrine is great example of psychological horror, bcs I'm sick of people saying it was ridiculous that people used to fear Herobrine.
anyway mental health is in the drain sorry for the lack of uploads but I really appreciate the love on the previous video :3

    This is such a good video! I really want someone to make a proper Herobrine mod. One where Herobrine would almost never be sighted, and only his handiwork could be found. Ideally, the mod would be disguised as something else like a performance mod.

    I love how Minecraft unintentionally uses paranoia as a weapon. Paranoia is, honestly, the strongest type of fear (in my opinion). You think are alone. Are you really? You know you are, but are you sure? Is the fog empty? Was that noise just a cow or a chicken? Paranoia leads you to wonder what might happen. What monster is hiding and what does it look like? Are you safe? Is it watching you? Are you truly living in an empty, nearly infinite world? Are you truly the only one?

    here's my take on a herobrine movie: he doesn't eventually hop out of the game ring style and starts chasing you. he just keeps following you in the internet space. he finds you in other games, social media, websites. he's like a stalker, but he never tries to kill you, he just keeps making you more and more paranoid until you somehow commit suicide

    I like your take on it, basically what is scary about Herobrine is the 'unknown' aspect of it. This was especially scary on the Alpha versions of Minecraft when Herobrine/White Eyes rumors started to show up. Back in the Alpha days, basically no one knew about how computers work, let alone Minecraft, they didn't know that Herobrine "wasn't possible" or "didn't exist" especially because Notch would add updates randomly without telling WHAT he had implemented in the game (Seecret Updates) Most people were scared to death thinking Notch might've added Herobrine, or that it actually 'entered' the game in some paranormal way, and a lot of people just stopped playing. But there were some skeptics. I love Herobrine because he isn't like other "scary" mods nowadays, most horror mods are some random monsters who scream and run towards you randomly, this is NOT scary, it's just building tension and then jumpscaring you, with Herobrine, the tension is never released with a jumpscare, you just keep building up suspense until you cannot handle it anymore and just quit the game... Underrated channel fr, nice video and your personality is great!

    I think the reason why herobrine was very frightening was that we knew nothing about and it was unknown for us. Same thing goes for other fears and phobias like fear of darkness or fear of monsters. Our brain just assumes the worst and make up fictional stuff that makes it scarier than what it is!

    I remember back in the day when I first picked up Minecraft in fourth grade, everyone was afraid of this monster Herobrine. The strange thing is, instead of making me scared to load into my world, he intruiged me and stimulated my curiosity. I soon became obsessed with trying to hunt him down and kill him in my worlds to the point where I was searching up videos on how to find him and spawn him daily. Eventually I downloaded the mod pack just so I could make it a reality. The idea of hunting down and killing this boogeyman that was invoking fear in the Minecraft community made him this mysterious and powerful being I wanted to learn more about You could say I had an actual encounter with him, but it may have just been my friend pranking me on his server (nametags were off). Upon spawning in, I saw a half chopped down tree and a crafting bench close by. I assumed it was just my friends' and proceeded to gather wood for myself. Upon crafting wood tools, I look up only to see a Steve with his back turned to me. Again, assuming it was my friend I casually walked up to him, leading to him slowly turning around just to reveal his face to me. It was Herobrine. He swiftly pulled out a sword and began sprinting towards me, I landed a few blows and ran into a cave system where I eventually lost him. But if it really was true, it was an honour to meet and duel u Mr. Herobrine sir ;)

    what made herobrine good is that he wasn't this white eyed cryptid haunting your worlds. he was but he wasn't. he was every door you forgot you've left open. he was every footstep in a cave that could've easily been yours. he was a cave sound you've never heard before so you were left wondering if it's normal. he was the rock formations in taiga that looked just a little bit too symmetrical. he was the figure in the fog. the horror of herobrine wasn't knowing you were haunted, it was not being sure whether or not you are. modern minecraft creepypasta focuses on jumpscare horror, when minecraft was never about that. what's creepy about minecraft is that you are alone... or are you really? it's a shame herobrine too got ruined with time.

    Thanks for the nostalgia. I know he’s not real but even today I will occasionally see something very odd or something that fits what he supposedly dose. Including something that looks like it could only be made by a player. And whenever I see these things I always start feeling uneasy and start trying think of rational explanations but sometimes I can’t and I’ve been playing this game in some form for nearly its entire history. And when I can’t I start thinking of herobrine and get a weird anxiety induced nostalgia lol idk how to describe.

    I don't think I've ever stopped believing herobrine exists. There's still a thought that comes to mind every now and then when I play minecraft. "Am I really, genuinely, alone? Is someone watching me?" then that feeling of being watched gets me. It's like a 6th sense, like I KNOW he's out there, just waiting. Watching. Always standing in the shadows. Just a quiet dread. You are never truly alone.

    If we were serious on making a Herobrine movie, then it would be effective (and cheap for that matter) to make it a found footage film similar to Unfriended. It would star some players on a Minecraft SMP sometime during the early 2000's. The appearance of Herobrine will be a slow burn and act more like an infection of their world. It would start with trees losing their leaves, with whole forests spawning without them. Hostile mobs would start to spawn more, and nights will slowly become longer. A local village the players visit will have a fake Herobine shrine in its church, and all the villagers will look blankly at the players whenever they pass by. When night falls the players will be chased out of the village with the villagers all having white eyes. Herobine would watch atop the church. Other anomalies would be animals also staring down players, and then succumbing to the white eyes and attacking them. Cobblestone and sandstone pyramids would spawn randomly across the terrain, and mined out columns underground would be lit up with redstone torches. Herobrine would pick off each player one by one, luring them on their own and then appearing right in front of them. Once this happens, the person controlling the account Herobrine targeted would leave whatever voicechat they were in, with their account aiding Herobrine with white eyes of their own. Eventually this will dwindle down to the protagonist who'd end up finding Herobrine's shrine in an underground area. It would be revealed that one of the other players summoned him to their server. I would make alterations to Herobrine's origin at this point. He wouldn't be Notch's dead brother, but rather some type of digital demon. Someone would make a pact with him, allowing him to enter a world or server by creating an altar, which would be the classic Herobrine shrine. The reason this person did that was because Herobrine promised to bring back a sibling that they lost, which would pay homage to the original myth. They would end up being betrayed though by Herobrine, as it would turn out that Herobrine killed their sibling just for them to make this deal, so he can continue amassing power. The protagonist, broken that all their friends are gone, would make one last deal with Herobrine. If he doesn't kill him, he would open the SMP up publicly, allowing more people to join, allowing Herobrine more servants and power.
