If 'the unknown' in Over The Garden Wall is meant to be so mysterious, then why is it so familiar? This video essay looks at why the show's creators might have chosen to reference so much nostalgic Americana and Germanic fairy tales and how it shapes 'the unknown'.

Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed this video essay!
