If you don’t know, the Youtube channel !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is basically the anti content farm for obscure internet mysteries. Like !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! but for things you can’t ever truly be sure of. This isn’t your typical superficial list type channel but rather deep dives into the obscure.
Well, this is some nightmare fuel before bed. He investigates the origins of something that belongs in an internet creepypasta except this one isn’t fake. It’s a hopelessly obscure amateur production of three “children’s” stories from the mid 90s that appears to have had an unhinged mind behind its creation.I
It’s not like horror movie levels of terrifying but it’s deeply unsettling in a way that I would highly recommend you experience. At least secondhand via Barely Sociable’ s excellent analysis. I am not brave enough to watch the original alone at night. There even is actual progress made in unearthing its murky origins here. Let me know what you guys think if you choose to watch it.

This is actually pretty interesting, but I’ll have to finish it later. I got about halfway through, to the point where the dinosaur is telling the wolf woman to go home. Since the title has Srebrenica in it, I have to wonder if this isn’t some sort of bizarre expressionist allegory about all of the extremely horrible ethnic struggle of the former Yugoslavia. And I also wonder if the English language narration is original. It’s possible that it started out in one language and was then dubbed into English with a different or somehow more twisted storyline.
Have you managed to sit through the 60 minute original?

No, I didn’t watch the original. I like scary things but I’m not good at taking it and I kinda need the sleep.
It is very interesting not just as it is an abandoned film that no one knows who made it but because there seems to be no rational thinking involved in its creation. Still, for an amateur production from the mid 90s, the animation is surprisingly good in places. And in other places it is extremely crude. It is just so inconsistent.
Now that’s an interesting possibility. Later in the video Barely Sociable manages to trace some evidence all to a certain region in Minnesota. If it was originally in another language no knowledge of it exists in the internet. And no credit is given to anyone besides the narrator. It’s bizarre.
