This episode, we’re talking about No Through Road, a found footage horror series created by Steven Chamberlain and first uploaded to YouTube in 2009. We talk about all four episodes, how the series came to be, and what makes the first video so effective even after all these years. From its Blair Witch Project influences to the series attempt at time loops, who is the masked figure, and the fan theories surrounding the ending.
We also look at the early days of internet horror and how found footage projects like Marble Hornets and No Through Road helped lay the groundwork for what we now know as analog horror.
Finally, we also examine the Yuba County Five, an unsettling case involving five men who disappeared after attending a basketball game in 1978. Discussing the similarities between real life events and No Through Road, along with how empty roads, and the feeling of being lost play into road horror and liminal horror.
Next week we're covering Ken Russell's The Devil's (1971) 🎃
