Local 58 is a pioneering analog horror web series created by cartoonist Kris Straub, presented as a series of hijacked public access television broadcasts from the fictional station WLBV-TV. The series gained massive internet fame for its unsettling imagery and cryptic messages, most notably the 'Weather Service' and 'Contingency' episodes. Memes derived from Local 58 typically utilize the grainy, low-fidelity VHS aesthetic of 1980s and 90s television to deliver surreal, existential, or terrifying instructions. The 'Look at the Moon' and 'Victory over the self' slogans have become iconic within the horror community, often used to parody modern news alerts or to create a sense of uncanny dread in unexpected online spaces.
