BE KIND. DO NOT REWIND. Every horror film, novel, record and artifact — indexed, tagged across 24 axes of fear, and served back to you by a machine that has been studying your tape.
Star ratings are useless. "Horror" is not a genre, it is forty genres wearing a trench coat. VHSCREAM tags every object — film, novel, record, garment, artifact — across 24 continuous axes of fear. Your tape is a vector. So is everything else. The rest is geometry.
No questionnaire. Twelve short clips and twelve cover scans, and you say more or never. Ninety seconds. The machine reads your flinch, not your opinion.
Your answers collapse into a 24-dimension signature — dread vs. shock, supernatural vs. human, gore tolerance, era, pace, moral bleakness, and eighteen more you never have to name.
Every night at 3:14 the index re-sorts itself around you. Films, books, records, shirts, out-of-print magazines — ranked by distance from your tape, each explained in one sentence.
A live cut-down of the real profile builder — six axes instead of twenty-four. Move a dial and the index below re-sorts in real time. Nothing cached. Nothing random.
Ranked by distance from your tape. The line under each title is the machine explaining itself — no black boxes, no "because you watched."
Six media types under one roof, cross-referenced so a Goblin score sits beside the film it haunts and the reissue you can actually buy.
Shirts, patches, slipcases, wax, enamel and dead-stock paper — ranked against your tape the same way films are, because whoever loves Possession does not want the same shirt as whoever loves Terrifier.
Community lists — the good kind. Any member can spool a bootleg: a themed run across any media, tagged and scored so the index can recommend the list itself to people whose tape matches it.
