SURPRISE! This is a Patreon-exclusive video from March of 2020, and considering the occasion, (Friday the 13th-- and in August, as we prepare to welcome our favorite time of year), I decided to ask my Patreon supporters if they'd like to make this video public. The response was overwhelmingly positive, a unanimous "yes!" So, on behalf of the Night Mind Patreon, have this exclusive Local 58 video!
Be sure to thank the Creatures of the Night for this one! (And please forgive the audio quality, it was one of the last videos I made with my old microphone.)

"You are on the fastest available route" is one of the few, if not only, pieces of horror that genuinely gave me chills and goosebumps. The idea to use something that's embedded in everyday life (phones/laptops have already been way overused), and turn it into something like an angler lure, pulling you towards a monster and only realizing partway through, is really smart, and the fact that we've been shown in the past that something like that is pretty feasible only adds to the fear factor. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

Something interesting about Contingency is that the video instructs the viewers to perform the Victory Position (Feet Together, FRONT LAWN, FACE UP) at 3:00 in the morning. Even if the video wasn’t initially made for this purpose, it seems like whoever broadcast it wanted people to go outside and face the night sky, where the moon would be waiting for them.

@WobblesandBean 2 жыл бұрын

Exactly. The moon WANTS us to die. One theory is that the weird larva thing in the grave during the Cadaver cartoon is a baby version of whatever the monster from "you are on the fastest route" is, and they feed on human corpses. The odd structures from Sky watching are where the creatures come from. So that broadcast from "the 51st state", aka the moon, was meant to trick people into offering themselves up to the entities.

@stoppropaganda2573 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting that you glossed over contingency". I grew up in the 60's, having to duck and cover at school during the day ... I would never stay up to watch the end of broadcast messages done by all channels at the end of their broadcast day for fear of this very type of video ending. This madness had so much more impact to us folks of my age group giving this a very high creep factor! At the time, I wouldn't have been surprised that the TV told us to off ourselves!

@250darkstars 2 жыл бұрын

Contingency is my favorite out of all of Local 58s videos. Your perspective as someone who lived in the 60s is really interesting to think about, given the state of the world then, fear of actual announcements on television (not calling for mass suicide of course...) and having to practice duck and cover like you said. I honestly hadn't stopped to consider that watching from that point of view, as a millennial who was a child in a different era of American war and relations with other countries with different technology we would get these kinds of warnings on. For me I guess it was kind of a creepy historical film but for you I guess it would be a lot more nostalgic and I find that comparison really awesome to think of so thank you so much for bringing up this point!!

“You Are On The Fastest Available Route” reminds me of the opening to the Doctor Who episode “The Sontaran Stratagem”. The same basic concept - SatNav (or GPS) being taken over - but it takes it farther, as the car doors automatically lock, and the car drives itself into a river. This was in 2008, before the rise of self-driving cars, and that scene stuck with me for ages. I thought it was an amazing and terrifying concept, so seeing it used for a full horror video, not just the opening to a sci-fi show, was brilliant.

About to return home. Despite your expectations that there would be large amounts of resistance from American troops... There's nothing. At first you think you got them by surprise. Until you see the town up ahead has all its lights out. There's no one here. They all died before you took your first step inland. Gobaly it's seen as the biggest national tragedy, surpassing the war its self.

It reminds one of the whole Masada thing; The Maccabean Jews hold out against a Roman siege for two years, then when the Legions break through everyone is dead by their own hand. Too bad that didn't really happen; many of the hardline Maccabees killed themselves, but the whole town did not kill themselves; it's been theorized the idea was promulgated in Rome to undermine the political and military ;leaders of the time. Tacitus I think records interviewing two slaves taken from Masada, even.

Weather Service is honestly my favorite of the bunch. Both because it's the first one I saw and a lot of the little back-and-forth details you pick up on it. Like how the first alert has bustling sounds that are clearly the background noise of a TV studio trying to get the alert out, to the utter stillness of the final message as everyone has been taken. And that last line of "IF YOU ARE AFRAID, WE WILL LOOK TOGETHER" has always sent a chill down my spine. Something about how it's such a discordantly supportive statement in such a terrifying situation just makes it all the creepier. "It's alright to give in. You are not alone."

Thanks Patreons! Cool of you to share. Anyways Local58 is legendary. Contingency remains some of the most effective use of text in a horror video I've ever seen. It's entirely your mind being led to conduct it's own horror through a relatively realistic scenario and it never fails to get to me big time.

I think "The 51st State is not a Place" is probably a perversion of the famous quote "Heaven is not a place, but a state of mind." Like if that particular short is meant as a sort of dark and extreme jab at American nationalism, which imo it pretty obviously is, then the idea is that they're literally referring to Heaven as "the 51st state."
