Dopplegangers looking to replace you and everyone you love aren't going to come through the tv screen; physical, almost-human creatures aren't going to whisper your darkest fears leading to you to hurt yourself; the police and other emergency services won't ignore your calls for help.

2 Corinthians 11:13-14 13 These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve.

If anyone else want another similar theory/explanation on the Mendela catalog I’d recommend the video done by wendigoon. He also goes in-depth into this series and has some amazing analysis that is a bit more organised (matpat did a great job too but it would probably make more sense). Wendigoon had also talked to the creator himself and builds his theory on the recommended way of watching the videos (which is to start on the video ‘the Mandela catalogue - The THINK Principle).

“Something about the 1980s was terrifying” it’s the production quality. Lots of old vhs camera quality, packed condensed sound, low quality material strips your senses of clear stimulus so it adds that small sense of uncertainty to your body and it effectively makes you fear/feel different with old school horror. For example old Texas chainsaw compared to reboots

[@lukelyall5879]

The 1980s also had real life slashers (dahmer for example) and the satanic panic

[@jebusspqr2121]

If you have a little Lovecraftian Knowledge, you can really imagine that the "Angel" Figure has real close traits to Nyarlathotep, the Underling of the Eldrich Gods, who blends in with men, lies to them, and makes them either become his followers or reach madness.

[@TheYeetedMeat]

Nyarlethotep isn’t the underling, I’m pretty sure he’s FAR alive most of the others. Cthulhu is the underling.

[@booleah6357]

Nyarlethotep is an outer god himself and is only bound to azathoth in lovecraftian lore. I imagine it's not an arrangement nyarlethotep would be happy about since if azathoth Wakes up it's all over and that would spoil his fun.

Nice. Wasn't the Slenderman also based on Nyarlathotep? Victor Surge apparently had Lovecraftian horror in mind among some other works when he created the mythos.

I think the intruder is kidnapping children because he is a demon who took his own life because of grief because his wife left him. And now he actively seeks children to take care of, but every time they cry, he is reminded of the child that was taken away from him. And so he sacrifices them until he finds one that doesn't cry when seeing him. Just a theory

My take is that when the “Gabriel” stumbles on the first letter of the word “angel”, he wasn’t saying “I am the alien”, he was saying “I am the Antichrist”. Also, if Alex read up on some Bible theory, he would know that demons usually appear as humans with certain warped or irregular features. The alternates fit this profile perfectly.

I think one of the things that make analog so scary is how we associate it with unedited footage. Before analog horror, this type of video quality was almost exclusive to old home videos, ones that show old real life events. That makes it subconsciously harder to comprehend that what's on the screen is edited, because we equate the vhs style to old, unedited footage.

It should also be noted that, like in “The call of Cthulhu”, not everyone who experiences MAD commits suicide, 3% of them survive. Now, what we know about the survivors of Cthulhu in his story, is that they become _followers_ of Cthulhu, they worship him and “spread the good word” of Cthulhu, so to say. So, in the Mandela Catalogue, is it possible that the people who _don’t_ take their own lives could potentially become followers of the entity, whether it be the devil or an alien, and could perhaps be the people in the TV that can enter people’s homes and kidnap children? *I think it’s definitely possible, but that’s just me.*
