Are these channels overlapping too much? Compare the two channel descriptions:
Fear - "A place for videos exhibiting examples of fear, the use of fear to control and oppress, fear of differences, terrorized people and animals, paranoia, distrust, fear of death, and phobias."
Horrorshow - "Monsters, Murderers, & Mayhem! All Night Freakshow Action at the Horrorshow Collective! Slasher Films, Monster Flicks, & Gothic Fantasies old & new... Music and Animation... bottom line, whatever makes you scream in the dark!"
At least from the descriptions, I can garner that Horrorshow is probably where scary videos should go, while Fear is more about the actual fright that results, but the "examples of fear" part in the description is ambiguous.
Since raven and pyrex are AWOL, I think that blankfist should weigh in to clarify which videos belong in Fear, which are better for Horrorshow, and which should go in both.

Clips from Night of the Living Dead belong in Horrorshow, but not Fear. Clips of the head of Homeland Security advising you to buy duct tape in preparation for a biological attack belongs in Fear, not Horrorshow.
Clips from 24 might belong in both.
Instead we have 'music', 'rockandroll', 'hiphop' and 'jazz' - no overlap there.
The difference is pretty apparent from my perspective. The descriptions are pretty much the telltale. I'd imagine you wouldn't put videos of racism or fear based politics or fascism (etc.) in horrorshow, but they fit perfectly in fear. That's why I built that channel. Pretty much what NetRunner said. Make sense?
And marinegunrock a technology channel would be great - geek is a little too generic sometimes - maybe you can tyr for a *future channel *siliconvalley for all things tech.
just thinking aloud (and yes if you can do one of those please do - i will gladly sift to them
Fear is a opinion/emotion and horrorshow a genre.
