Top Horror YouTube Channels in 2026 from Chile

The Walten Files is an Argentinian analog-horror YouTube channel that presents a found-footage, VHS-style narrative set in a retro Chuck-E-Cheese-like restaurant chain called Bunny Smiles. Created by Martin Paredes, it uses faux-corporate training tapes, security footage, and music albums to unfold a dark, cryptic story about missing employees, haunted animatronics, and corporate cover-ups. Episodes drop sparingly—sometimes once a year—but each 10- to 60-minute tape racks up millions of views thanks to meticulously crafted 1980s aesthetics, hidden codes, and ARG elements that reward obsessive frame-by-frame analysis. The series expands into stand-alone Halloween specials (“Pumpkin Rabbit”) and music-driven spin-offs (“Showstoppers”), all tying back to the same unsettling universe. For viewers who crave slow-burn, lore-heavy horror that feels like discovering a dusty box of cursed VHS tapes, The Walten Files delivers a uniquely haunting experience.
