The mystery/horror aesthetic relies on unease — the feeling that something is not quite right. This template achieves this through heavy VHS degradation (the footage looks found or recovered), strong chromatic aberration with slow drift (the visual feels unstable), deep desaturation (life drained from the image), and aggressive vignette (darkness closing in from the edges). Combined with dark stock footage — empty hallways, fog, surveillance cameras, old photographs — the result is genuinely unsettling.
