Last weekend, the big live event “Horrorcamp” took place on Twitch. Streamer Knossi organized this spooky event together with musicians Sido and Manny Marc and YouTuber UnsympathischTV. The Horrorcamp was a complete success.
This was the Horrorcamp: It was the second event of its kind that took place on the Twitch channel of Jens “Knossi” Knossalla. In July, the streamer hosted the “Angelcamp” and broke records back then.
Now there was a new edition with a spooky setting. Under the name “Horrorcamp”, it was streamed live day and night from a house that is said to be haunted. The following personalities were involved:
- Knossi is one of the biggest streamers from Germany and is mainly known for casino streams
- Sido has been one of the biggest rappers in Germany for years
- Manny Marc is a producer and rapper who founded the duo “Die Atzen” with the musician Frauenarzt
- UnsympathischTV is one of the biggest YouTubers in Germany and also regularly streams on Twitch
In total, the 4 personalities were live on Knossi’s channel on Twitch for 40 hours. While they already broke the first record on the first day, Friday night, the following hours were no less successful.

The numbers show: The live event was a complete success. Even on an international level, no other streamer could be nearly as successful.
- In the last 3 days, Knossi’s stream was watched for over 7 million hours – in second place is Riot Games with “only” 3 million hours
- At peak, 328,945 people watched the stream simultaneously and an average of 180,000 viewers were present at the same time (via Sullygnome)
- The stream was live for 40 hours straight – even at 6:00 AM, the “low point” of the stream, 75,000 people were still watching
What was shown in the stream? Generally, the content was mainly focused on the spooky house where the stars moved in. Around it, there were some challenges that needed to be solved. The story of the house was explained upon moving in:
In general, it was mainly about entertainment. Friends also occasionally joined in. This included YouTubers like inscope21, musician Pietro Lombardi, and even TV host Klaas Heufer-Umlauf. They visited on-site and were then visible in the stream:
However, there was also an incident. Rapper Sido had to go to the hospital briefly because he injured his elbow after a fall.
In the end, he returned and even performed a song at a mini-concert, just like some other musicians who were on-site.
Was there also criticism? Some users complained about intrusive advertising that was made during the stream. This was noticeably more pronounced compared to the Angelcamp in summer.
Additionally, a bit of seriousness was missed. Instead, the focus was often on alcohol consumption, which led to criticism.
Rapper Bausa, who was a guest, was also criticized. He spoke derogatorily about other participants in the event several times and received a real shitstorm on Twitter.
What is the conclusion? After the Horrorcamp, numerous participants expressed their satisfaction with the event on social networks. Knossi wrote on Instagram: “The Horrorcamp is done and a new record with 336k viewers is just madness!”
Why was the event so successful? Several factors certainly speak for it:
- The 4 organizers all have a huge community that was brought together at the Horrorcamp
- The numerous guests themselves promoted the event and attracted even more viewers
- Such actions are rare on Twitch Germany, so a niche was found that many people find exciting
- During the event, viewers could interact – there were conversations with fans and generally, viewers could get a glimpse into the private lives of the stars
It remains to be seen whether and when another event of this kind will be planned. Surely, a viewer record could be broken again there.
