Analog horror

Concept for an Indonesian national warning system. Originally made as analog horror, it became widely used as a pro-democracy symbol during the 2024 Indonesian local election law protests.[1][2]

Analog horror is a subgenre of horror fiction and an offshoot of the found footage film genre,[3][4][5] said to have originated online during the late 2000s and early 2010s with web series such as No Through Road, Local 58, Gemini Home Entertainment, and Marble Hornets.[5][4][6][7]
