Radio silence creepypasta6/13/2023 ![]() As the rest of RACK teases him– calling him “spice boy” (which, interestingly, also has sort of a racial connotation to it), and “pussy boy” – and pulling pretty mean-spirited pranks, Ankur is ultimately proven right as they each get shredded, torn limb from limb by the killer spirits of the fallen Bitchcat members. Going into the abandoned collective, Ankur is the only one with genuine concern and fear. Specifically, I want to point out the teaming up of the consonants of RACK against the only vowel: Ankur or, notably, the three white kids against the one poc. Maybe it’s just the way I was raised, but these “friends” really suck. Oozing with an obnoxious, nasty sense of humor and skewed idea of friendship. Right off the bat, these guys are kinda hateable. Their plan is indeed to fuck shit up, as they plan to break into the Underground Colony, an art collective that burnt to a crisp three years prior, killing a punk band named Bitchcat. Right off the bat we’re introduced to RACK, or Rachel, Ankur, Chris, and Kaleb– a punk band made up of shitty jerkoffs with a taste for shock factor and the agitational. , for an episode of everyone’s favorite show, “RACK Fucks Shit Up”. And for the first stop on the culture trip, writer/director Maggie Levin takes us to the (literal) underground punk scene with her short titled Shredding. Part I: Punk’d and Prejudice Credit: Shudder / Studio71ĩ9 opens a wormhole. But these goodies are more than just sweet on the outside, for there is a rich and rewarding core at the center of each one if you take your time with them. There is something for everyone in this grab-bag of culture: skaters and punks demons and witches ghost stories and mythology– 99 really delivers. Though I’ve got my own personal ranking of the five (check those out at the end!), each of them sit comfortably in the creepy & rewarding, cool & wicked category. Out of the five stories featured in the anthology, none starkly stand-out against the rest nor do any fall especially below the waist line. A rebellious, fervorous zeitgeist that was somehow incredibly captured by the filmmakers involved in this awesome fifth installment of the V/H/S series. An explosion of teenage and young-adult counterculture that ultimately, paradoxically, became the mainstream culture. ![]() ![]() The 90s saw the rise– and arguably the peak– of youth culture. Simply put: V/H/S 99 really captures a moment. ![]() The fucked-up home videos of the unlucky few trapped in the Twilight Zone. Very ‘why i stopped thrift shopping’ or ‘vhs99.exe’ – some real creepypasta vibes. Either way, all 99 minutes genuinely feel like you’ve stumbled upon a dusty, old handheld, and these stories are finally coming to the light after 2 decades of abandonment.
