Horror film fans spiral into conspiracy after disturbing VHS tapes surface
Horror film fans have gone into overdrive with their conspiracy theories after a series of very disturbing VHS recordings started appearing across the US.
Users on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok are taking to the platforms in search of answers, with many wondering if it could be a clever marketing ploy for a new film.
In a number of States, people are discovering VHS tapes featuring three hours of different horror scenes, and after exchanging theories and findings online, it appears all the tapes share the same footage.

On the clip that's been uploaded to YouTube, we can see that the three-hour, 42-minute-long feature has been filmed in black and white and with night vision cameras.
Titled 'WHITEFACE' and uploaded on June 27, the video was uploaded in a bid to gain more context on the elusive video.
In the description, the user noted six locations where tapes have been found thus far.
These include a Hollywood video store, a bar in Nashville, a thrift store in Orlando, and an art gallery in Virginia.
TikToker Nicolas Curcio is one of many who took to the internet, intrigued by these elusive tapes, noting; 'This is either one of the best art projects ever or a case of the possible first-ever real found footage horror film.'
He went on to add that the VHS tapes don't feature any notable or recognisable actors and mostly appears to be a man with a white-painted face wandering around LA.
In other harrowing moments in the video, the man can be seen filming random people, following them home and even harassing a woman at a bus stop.
Some have theorized it may be a student film while others think it may be a form of rage bait.
Under Nicolas' video, one user commented: '$5 this is viral marketing for a movie that's going to drop later this year.' Users on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok are taking to the platforms in search of answers, with many wondering if it could be a clever marketing ploy for a new film. Pic: Getty.
'I'm so pessimistic that I will never believe that this wasn't created for virality on the Internet,' another penned.
While many are noting that the name on the tape is the same as that of the antagonist of a notable indie horror game called IMSCARED.
What do we think? Marketing ploy or something much more terrifying?
