Hello, horrorphiles. In this episode, we dissect the subgenre of Found Footage, along with its broader subgenre of "Reality Horror." This dissection will be spoiler-free.

“Found footage is a cinematic technique in which all or a substantial part of the work is presented as if it were film or video recordings recorded by characters in the story, and later "found" and presented to the audience,” according to Wikipedia.

Popular examples include, The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield, and more recently, Late Night with the Devil.

This is Dissecting Horror: Examining the anatomy of fear in film, television and literature with Kelsey Zukowski and Steven Aguilera.
