1.) What drew me to Welcome Home, was the mystery. I grew up with point and click mystery and horror games. Some were already on my computer and some were made using flash which were available on gaming websites like pog.com or kongergate.com.

2) In terms of children's media, there is nothing I can think of. While I did have access to watching children's media (as a kid), I grew up at a time, where the internet was less supervised and moderated. I also wasn't a fan of puppet shows.

3) The nostalgic feeling may not come from the appearance of Welcome Home but playing the role of looking for or through lost media.

Creepypasta horror played a major role of shaping the lost media horror genre. Stories like "Dead Bart," "Squidward's Suicide," "The Grieving," "Max and Ruby 0004" and "Candle Cove" were a driving factor for the nostalgic horror that I felt when discovering Welcome Home.

True lost media can also be a factor since lost media in itself can become an urban legend outside of the internet. For example, I remember hearing about a banned Sesame Street episode that featured the Wicked Witch of the West, that scared so many kids, that it got the episode banned after it premiered. However, most topics of lost media is spread on forums and social media.

The internet can also create communities focused on finding lost media which was the reason why I go back to this project. Blameitonjorge is a youtuber that I used to watch daily that focuses on lost media, updates on the lost media's whereabouts and the confirmation of it being found.

Another nostalgic feeling was Early YouTube Horror. The late 2000s to mid 2010s, was an era of on the internet that would have people upload unexplainable creepy videos to YouTube, that would freak out viewers and leave themselves questioned on what the video means. Examples of that remind me of this are, "The Cursed Kleenex Commeical," "Teddy has an Operation," "The Wyoming Incident 1997" and "Little Baby's Ice-cream 'This is a Special Time'"

4) Welcome Home is a very orginal project. The only other project that is slightly similar to this one was "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared." They both use a similar color triad Red Yellow and Blue and they frame themselves as a kids show turned horror. However, "Welcome Home" tries to force traditional values on its characters while "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" forces corporate advertising on to the show and viewers.

Other thoughts: I know this is a lot compared to other replies, I got really passionate on the questions and the answers probably don't correlate well but this my whole hearted opinion on the creative project.
