Does every Analog Horror needs to be 'Analog'?
​
I've been watching a lot of analog horror series lately, and one thing I've noticed is that not all of them actually use the stereotypical VHS/CRT aesthetic.
Some series lean much more toward cinematic presentation or early-digital-era visuals. The Mandela Catalogue and The Monument Mythos are two examples that come to mind. A lot of their scenes are framed and presented more like film than traditional VHS footage.
So, as someone who's relatively new to the community, I'm a little confused about what actually qualifies something as "analog horror."
Is the VHS/CRT aesthetic just one common visual style within the genre, or is there a more specific definition of what makes a series analog horror? Can someone elaborate?
