@leona it feels like that's definitely been happening with a lot of internet horror in the last 5 years or so. Valle Verde is an explicit Petscop style series in progress that's more recent. it's probably the best of that stuff, but it is more explicitly "horror" and def there seems to be some more like specific cultural stuff to it that i don't understand https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=uRbiJe2vMI w
