Terrifying Found Footage YouTube Series May Cause You “Psychic damage” [Video]
I stumbled across something pretty sick on YouTube this week. I was mindlessly scrolling Twitter when I encountered several snippets of some truly gnarly found footage horror. I had to know what it was. I consider myself something of a found footage aficionado. I’m not as knowledgeable as Dread’s Editor-in-Cheif Mary Beth McAndrews, but I’m trying. This cool stuff I kept seeing wasn’t from a movie or streaming show. Instead, I was watching clips of the J-horror series Fake Documentary Q.
The YouTube series, created by Daichi Minaguchi, is hard to describe. Think of it like the most horrifying and frightening parts of Kōji Shiraishi’s Noroi: The Curse condensed into bite-sized episodes. The most recent, titled TAKE100, was released just two days ago. Cryptic opening text reads: “An unreleased Japanese film was discovered inside a warehouse owned by a wealthy person.”
I don’t want to know what’s on it, but you can check out the episode of Fake Documentary Q for yourself here.

Fake Documentary Q is a rabbit hole of terrifying footage of live streams, episodic beats, and scares I can’t even begin to describe. If you develop a new obsession, please let it be this. It’s the coolest thing I’ve found online since Eternal Family. Episodic in nature, it’s easy to jump in for anywhere from ten to thirty minutes for some genuinely unsettling things. Check out what people are saying about the sensational Fake Documentary Q online below:
Come on. Even Hideo Kojima gets it. What do you think? Is Fake Documentary Q not the scariest thing ever on YouTube? Let me know if you’re as in love with it as I am on Twitter @Chadiscollins. Share with me your favorite episodes, best bits of lore—everything. I’m ready to get lost in it.
