<p><strong>🎙 Episode 7 – “The Conjuring Tapes”: When Found Footage Finds </strong><em><strong>You</strong></em></p><p>Ever wonder what would happen if you popped in an old VHS… and saw yourself staring back? This week, we’re diving headfirst into the cursed, claustrophobic world of <em><strong>The Conjuring Tapes</strong></em>, the indie found footage anthology from Robert Livings and Randy Nundlall Jr. that turns déjà vu into pure dread.</p><p>Two women cleaning out a late friend’s belongings discover a stack of unmarked tapes — but these aren’t just ghostly home videos. Each one shows them living out different horrors: séance gone wrong, influencer ghost hunts, cult encounters… all captured in unsettlingly crisp 4:3 footage. The question isn’t just <em>what’s</em> on the tapes — it’s <em>why</em> they’re in them.</p><p>We’ll break down how stars <strong>Brenda Yanez</strong> and <strong>Samantha Laurenti</strong> seamlessly shift between alternate selves, why the shaky handheld visuals feel more voyeuristic than chaotic, and how the film’s slow-burn pacing pays off in psychological paranoia rather than gore. Plus, we’ll talk about that nesting-doll narrative that folds reality in on itself like an M.C. Escher nightmare.</p><p>So grab your popcorn (and maybe a crucifix) as we hit play on <strong>The Conjuring Tapes</strong> — the horror anthology that might just make you afraid of your own reflection on tape.</p>
