  • OMG A ESCILATOR!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • One must imagine that person happy

  • You're really going down.

  • @ the title of the vid:WOAH! Cool song title. *runs to grab pen, paper and weed*

  • I would have ran up it to save time.

  • 71 people don't know what "Existential" means.

  • @richardmaudsley77 Either that, or they pronounce"Existential* as"exo-stent-shul"

    *cringe*

  • @StraytRayzorSymphony eX-oi_StenciL

  • wow i must be bored im watching videos on escalators >.>

  • the stairway to heaven

  • I had a dream like this once!! It was a dream and not a nightmare cuz in my dream my dad got sucked under the stairs and was crushed :D yayyyy

  • reminds me of this time i was on an escelator

  • Do it again and add a scary ending

  • hahahaha

  • ...aaaannnnddd???

  • It looks like the escalator to heaven

  • Reminds me of a really good hungarian film called "Kontroll".

  • xD i wouldn't go on it it squeaks too much OH EM GEE THE GIANT MOUSIES FROM MY DREAMS ARE REAL THEY HELP ME GET PLACES :D

  • The escalator is actually going downwards.

  • the only nightmares i have are zombies

  • this escalator needs a can of wd40 :/

  • I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! THE SQUEAKING!

  • @TheSanaeKochiya only way out is suicide :D

  • Clever.

  • do us all a favour and put a better video on here than that,.... like filming yourself gettin shot in the head, now thats gotta be better viewing than this shit !!

  • wats the point of this video?!?

  • Hmm. Felt just like a ride on an esclator.

    And wtf was that squeaking all through the video?

  • loved it!

  • ?? What !!!!!!!!!!! YAWN

  • I was once trapped on an escalator like that at Paddington Station. There was a long arsed escalator going up to an automatic door at the top, but the door wouldn't open D;

  • you can just walk off of them ya know, u nob !

  • No there was no other way down apart from going down the up escalator, which was difficult 'cause of arthritis, so I can't walk fast.

  • NEAT

  • la verdad qe me izo flashear

  • just take the stairs man.

  • That was strange.

  • WTF?

  • I could see myself contemplating suicide if I had to get on there before and after a long day at work.

  • You could....walk up the escalator

  • Anything this pretentious should come with a warning label.

  • Its just a scratchy noisy Silent Hill-esque escalator.

    Whats so "hipster art school" about it?

  • ???

  • hahaha. nice end to the video

  • I cant stop watchin it. What am I missing?!

  • A Liberal Arts major and a self-aggrandizing personality.

  • I thought at the top there would be another escalator, and the nightmare being that it is an endless escalator.

  • the way i see it, the escalator represents life. the start is birth and the end is death. you can see the end and its just a matter of time before you reach it. you're completely alone on this journey no matter what others say and its fucking terrifying. am i wrong?

  • Great video.

  • OMIGOD I SEE IT.

  • see what?

  • @swarmgirl97 the sounds i think

  • Woooow.

    I have something of a fear of escalators, and this video freaked.me.out.

  • that was pointless...

  • Exactly.

  • are you sick in the head?...

  • ermm ok?

  • for some reason this reminds me of Mirrors Edge. i mean FPP view

  • I thought that at the top would be waiting a bottomless gorge, symbolic of death.

  • jesus christ, for a moment i was expecting eraser head to be waiting for you at the top.

  • wtf, why even have it that big, just put a lift in? save space and time!

  • the stairs would be so much faster. And less creepy.

  • i loved it; almost as much as watching Toby Dammit's existential death in Fellini's "Spirits of the Dead", but then your ending was so disappointing. Blue denim jeans??????? So commonplace!

    You should've leaned the camera down further into the grids of the disappearing steps and then pressed stop

  • the squiky noises scared the hell out of me

  • ITS THE BEGINNING TO HALF LIFE EPISODE 3, at the top the combine soldiers take him into city 18, where he has to escape.

    :/

  • What if there was a guy at the top waiting to hit you in the face with a phonebook?

    That would suck.

  • yes that would lol

  • @BlackNoir LOL

  • @BlackNoir It would be creepy to have a dead body slowly creep of the escalator. I would be crapping my pants.

  • I don't get the point off that video ???

  • He used the machine all wrong! To get the full effect, you have step down the up escalator. Then you truly experience the futility of existence!

  • I think stepping up the down elevator would be even more symbolic.

  • btw it would be more funnier if you hire some guy on the top of the stairs then when you got up, he terrify you in a creepy mask XDD

  • Bricks were shat

  • it woulda been so much creepier if he turned around and looked down at the bottom of the escalator where he came from and there was a puddle of blood

  • Completely missing the point.

  • Indeed

  • That kid is back on the escalator again!-Mallrats

  • LOL is that blood at the top???

  • I don't get it -_-

    someone enlighten me plz

  • Existentialism: A philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe

    all alone on that old, rickety escalator we call life, get it? it's lonely, foreboding and frightening in many ways, philosophically speaking

    pretty deep video really, i like it <3

  • what is this? a staircase that moves??

  • needs a few junkies that you can only just hear muttering insanely and you've got a MAx Payne cut scene :D

  • strangely compelling viewing

  • That's like the old escalators at the WTC station lol

  • Bowser is at the top of the endless escalator.

  • that is the longest elevator i've seen

  • Probably because it's an escalator.

    Rofl.

  • lol!!

  • o shi-

  • its an escalator....

  • That actually freaked me out a little...

  • someone needs to get that escalator oil.

  • My nightmares are, usually, more...traditionally terrifying.

  • haah that looks like the escalator in that one station on the metro in DC, near the zoo

  • an escalator that squeaks? i dont get it

  • for some reason that reminds me of american werewolf in london that shit took FOR-E-VER

  • THE BEGGINING OF FEAR 3

  • It's the screams of it's past victims

  • Outtake from Jacob's Ladder

  • Silent Hill, much?

  • I think I've been on this escalator. Is this in Atlanta? (Speaking of existential nightmares.)

  • why is this terrifying? it's a subway escalator.

  • that's creepy....something you'd see in a terror movie.

  • bitch needs oiling

  • Brilliant.

  • WOW so much fun go again

  • Strange days, strange days indeed.

  • Holy shit. This is terrifying and awesome at the same time.

  • fucking terrifying

  • so... uhm... no, i dont get it?

  • is that related to the infinite stair case in super mario 64?

  • is this the a train at 181st street?

  • oh my god, it's full of stars!

  • wtf is the point of this video?

  • Exactly. See, this guy gets it.

  • so its off silent hill the room?

  • Wait... wuh?

  • IT NEVER ENDS

    OH MY GGGODDD

  • im missing the point.

  • man you're a cock!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Now is the time on Sprockets vhen ve dance.

  • That reminds me of the escalators in the train station from Gary, IN to Chicago, IL.

    Last I went there, though, they didn't have the metal disks on the surface between escalators.

    I used to just slide down it upon arrival, to save the 2 minute thumb-twiddling ride.

    Ugh, that creepy thump-screech-grinding noise was also present. I fucking hate that. x.x

  • isn't that the one that blew up in London I think?

  • Yes, this is in London, but there are many like this in London, so it isn't necessarily the one that blew up.

  • what the fuck r u chatting.

  • yes i am chatting u got a problem with it? i saw it on the discovery channel

  • It definitely blew up. I saw it blow up with my own eyes!

  • ya i saw it blow up on the discovery channel LOL :P

  • This gives me techno despair.

  • i love it :) !

  • WOAAAHHHHH

  • what?

  • pretty scary :D

  • wait, are there ppl affraid of escalators...? JEKRS!!!

  • coalmine in the year 4087 :)

  • this movie sucks, can I take it back and exchange it?

  • Hey is that at the toronto convention centre?!?!?

  • okay that is sad that you can regonise a place from its escalator!

  • God, this is horrible. I'm going to have nightmares. Why did you do this? You cruel bastard, why?

  • oooook ... and ???

  • resident evil ...lol

  • more like silent hill xD

  • wut..... is the damn point

  • LOL, I know that station. Really trippy that escalator. There's a lot in the new york subway stations like that.

  • i am surprised that no one is commented on the fact that this video took away 1 minute and 21 seconds from their life.

  • Nah, because the video shows you that your time is worthless anyway. Also: it would've been really existentialistic if you went back down at the end.

  • I don't get it...

  • Dang, I was hoping a screamer would pop up!

  • Woow spooky ~.~

    That one must came from resident evil : |

    OMG AT 1:19 is it blood!? *_* jk :3

  • It reminds me of Silent hill..~_~ XD

  • yeah that one too xP

  • I think its poop XD

  • eww omg º-º'

  • creepy xD

  • creepy and slow

  • Stupid

  • This is actually really terrifying.

  • You should have definetley started the clip again, just as you were getting to the top.

  • Existential nightmares end.

  • This isnt an esistential nightmare at all though is it? this is a guy filming his progress on an escalator.

    If we are going to get technical that is...

  • "... simulation machine" if we're getting technical.

  • oh, so we are getting technical?

    Escalator - 'A moving stairway consisting of steps attached to a continuously circulating belt.' Excatly what you have just shown me. Nothing more.

  • It's being repurposed as an existential nightmare simulation machine. Devices can be repurposed given the context of their usage!

  • Ok, if you want it that way...

    Then I "repurpose" this message to be a fart that hits your nostrils as soon as you read the words on the screen...

    Did it work? No, because the words, like the escalator, have one purpose.

  • You can't give an interpretation which changes the physical nature of an object. No matter how hard you try, your message will never turn into a fart by your willing it to. But by the simple act of interpretation, and naming, yes an abstract category such as the "purpose" of a machine can be reinterpreted however one chooses.

  • Furthermore...no matter how much you will an escalator to become a machine that simulates existential nightmares and even shhould you rename it, it will always still remain a simple escalator.

  • Wow, pretty nerdy guys...!

  • Ha! As long as what we were discussing is less nerdy than someone who's only 'favourite video' on youtube is 'a how to do the soulja-boy dance' I don't mind one bit...

  • I can turn a fart into a message, so why not the other way round?

    :D

  • This is badass, like the intro to a creepy computer game.

  • I am more scared of how steep that thing is rather then no one else being there. Really, would you want to tumble backwards on that thing?

  • :O omg that is crazy!

  • Mindfuck. When you see it, you'll shit bricks.
