[Note: With the film out now, here’s a reposting of our review of the excellent Death of a Vlogger from it’s screening at last years Frightfest]
Death of a Vlogger tells the story of Graham, an ambitious vlogger who gains viral fame after one of his videos apparently contains an alleged out-of-this-world haunting. Following that experience Graham succumbs to the darker supernatural side of the web and deals with the effects of being famous on the internet.
I’ve long-documented my dislike for found footage films. I often think that the use of the format is a shortcut to create horror – in particular jump scares, cut corners in terms of filming quality and, with that, storytelling. However… Death of a Vlogger does something completely different with the format, bringing in the facets and tropes of vlogging, YouTube videos and live-streaming to create a truly modern, cutting edge take on a film format that has,...

Some YouTubers never learn.
The India-based creator Sumit Verma is reportedly under investigation by Delhi police after a prank video -- in which he approaches random women on the street, kisses them, and then runs away -- subsequently caused a stir on social. Police are also urging victims to file complaints, the BBC reports.
British YouTube creator Sam Pepper faced a similar controversy back in 2014, when he uploaded a video that showcased sexual assault under the guise of a prank. That video featured Pepper groping women, which he blamed on a fake hand he happened to be carrying around. Pepper was subsequently blacklisted from the YouTube community on the heels of the incident, and has yet to reclaim his former standing all these years later.

YouTube personality and vlogger Sam Pepper has quit social media following the massive backlash he received for a prank in November. Pepper made all of the content on his YouTube channel private and deleted all of his tweets, save for one which simply says, “I give up.” In November, Pepper released a video in which Colby Brock, one half of the Vine duo Colby and Sam, is fixing his car in the middle of the street with partner Sam Golbach when a masked man covers Golbach’s head with a bag, tapes together his hands and feet and stuffs him in the trunk of.

As you may have heard by now, controversial “prankster” Sam Pepper is making headlines again. More than a year after one of his invasive “social experiments” led to backlash from the YouTube community and a string of sexual abuse allegations against him, Pepper has made his way back into the news by faking a murder for one of his videos.
Pepper collaborated with fellow social media personality Colby Brock on the prank. The target was one of their friends, Sam Golbach. Late at night, a masked assailant staged a kidnapping of Brock and Golbach, bound them up on a rooftop, and simulated a cold-blooded execution of Brock. As Golbach descends into hysteria, Brock stands up, alive and well, and reveals the whole setup as an elaborate prank.
The reason I described Pepper’s latest nonsense is to dissuade potential viewers from seeking it out. I will not link to Pepper and Brock’s respective channels,...

YouTube star Sam Pepper is on the hot seat after playing a prank in which his victim is led to believe his best friend is kidnapped and killed right in front of him. In video of the prank, Colby Brock, one half of the Vine duo Colby and Sam, is fixing his car in the middle of the street with partner Sam Golbach when a masked man covers Golbach’s head with a bag, tapes together his hands and feet, and stuffs him in the trunk of the car.

British YouTube star Sam Pepper has over 2 million subscribers, aqua hair, and, as of yesterday, the entire internet against him. On Sunday, Pepper uploaded a prank video (you'll find many such videos on his channel) in which he carries out an elaborate ruse to scare the shit out of one half of the Vine star duo Sam Golbach and Colby Brock. In the video, Pepper kidnaps Colby (who was in on the prank) and Golbach and takes them to a rooftop where Pepper pretends to shoot and kill Colby in front of an absolutely petrified Golbach. ("We're just kids from Kansas!" Golbach can be heard screaming through tears.) They then let the cameras roll while Golbach — who's been tied to a chair the whole time — screams and cries for about a minute, believing his best friend has just been murdered, until Colby comes back from the dead...

It started in Japan. It spread to America. Now it’shere. Teams of six friends are challenged to sit in a library and undergo a series of trials and tests, all either pointlessly painful or just plain disgusting.

Silent Library is going to be your new favourite post-pub TV treat. Based on a Japanese gameshow, the programme features teams of contestants taking on daft, disgusting and dirty challenges for cash. The only catch is that they must remain totally silent throughout. A Big Brother special featuring Josie Gibson, Marcus Akin and Sam Pepper will air later this year and we caught up with Akin after filming for catch-up. I've just watched you get electrocuted and eat a whole raw egg. Have you enjoyed your day in the Silent Library?

Pepper and Piano were the second act to take to the Must Be The Music stage tonight.
The show is airing live from Wembley Arena and the two girls seemed a bit nervous about working the huge crowd. The duo’s debut single ‘You Took My Heart’ shot to number seven in the UK charts, after they appeared in the show’s semi finals. Tonight they decided to showcase another original number titled ‘One Of These Days.’
At first the song seemed a little slow to take off and a little uninspiring but by the time the harmonies kicked in and the girls really got going, we found ourselves being drawn in just as we had been before. Was it as good as their semi final performance? We don’t think so….but it was still pretty darn good!
Judges Comments:
Sharleen: That was amazing, what Dizzee said that was right.
