Fun fact about the Mandela catalog. Wendigoon has gone on record saying that this series is the most terrifying thing he has seen. He absolutely loves it. Also the creator of Mandela Catalog currently has called Wendigoon “Iceberg Boy” on Wendigoon’s streams

[@karamanid]

He said that before watchin Outside View, I am sure that he changed his mind after that

[@MattRob1c]

The pissberg boy

[@DPD1]

Yeeeaahh, it's more that he's personal friends with the creator. Basically all of analogue horror is interesting but doesn't really hold up against the rest of the horror genre. They're really not up to their calibre.

[@Ph4ntomSp1rit]

[@lenny_has_arived6679]

Also some lore. When it comes to Caesar, the one who took his mom to the ER, it is widely believed that he is an Alternate at the time that he is calling his friend and asking him to turn on the cameras, cameras that were already on and caught Caesar’s mom being attacked. That would explain his monotone. Also there is very much a reason why killing himself was a “bad decision”

[@alecLogan]

Was gonna say, “why would those cameras ever be _off_ when they’re bound to catch something?” More than that, in a lockdown based on alternates, wouldn’t the thing be to call for aid and _not_ leave the location? And guessing the ‘bad decision’ is based on what happened there, an (possible) alternate tricking someone else into leaving their home and getting followed back (or something worse but not obvious)

[@lenny_has_arived6679]

@@alecLogan spoilers for further parts of the Mandela Catalog: Alternates are actually demons. Specifically, the physical alternates are demons who have convinced someone to kill themself and then possessed the corpse. That means that by killing himself, Marc has given another demon a physical body that they can use

[@coranbaker6401]

I have to wonder, what do they watch the camera footage on? Do they have a TV? And if they do, wouldn't that ironically make them more vulnerable to alternate attacks?

Bit of a warning, one of the Analog Horror series, Local 58, has a part where it has you stare at a red dot as weird faces flash by on both sides. This will *[ VERY LITERALLY ]* give you nightmares. It is an actual psychological technique to make you incapable of seeing humans faces as 'faces.' Wendigoon got nightmares after watching it, that shit works.

Mandela Catalogue is one that had to grow on me. The idea was always unnerving, but it was only as the creator improved his craft that he has been able to bring out how truly horrifying the premise is. Gemini Home Entertainment and Local 58, on the other hand, had me gripped from their very first video.

[@CorwinTheOneAndOnly]

Mandela was definitely the one that both popularized *and* killed the "Every analogue horror video" archetype/style. I'm glad he found his stride, because Mandela by all rights was a series that could have easily died.

[@Lazypackmule]

Yeah, Monument Mythos is kind of the same way Always good concepts, but the improvement was really noticeable as the creator got better at pulling the best parts to the surface I think that's just part of the risk of doing stuff with non-standard presentation like this rather than something slightly more traditional like found footage stuff or whatever, without much else to use as a blueprint you kind of just have to trial and error your way to figuring out what works

[@sonofhades57]

Vita Carnis is also excellent!

[@hmmmooops]

The good thing about this series is that all the goofy stuff like the monotone and all that keeps getting better. Like the man did these in his phone. As Wendigoon said, we'll eventually have to go to the movie theater to watch it.

[@Aliciaxcheese]

The content alicia has been pushing out has been some of the most exciting for me recently. Like yall ever just see something you like and shake with anticipation!?

If you're stepping into analog horror you should absolutely do the Monument Mythos by Mister Manticore the whole thing is extremely well done and more people need to watch it.

[@0ptimuscrime]

It’s also scary in a different way, so might be less stressful

[@anexhaustedcryptek1076]

Analog horror is a bit of a bloated genre, but there's still so much good stuff. Mandela Catalog is one of the big ones and I'd love to see you react to more of it, especially since the videos get better in quality with every new entry. However, some other great analog horror series include Gemini Home Entertainment, White Stag Education, GREYLOCK, and Midwest Angelica.

[@UrLeingod]

Love this series; gets SO much better as it goes on, you have no idea. You actually sort of skipped ahead a little, though; there's a sort of prologue video in this series that was released earlier, called "Overthrone." It's not critical watching to get what's going on, but good for setting the mood and expectations. Also, highly recommend Night Mind's videos on the series. He does really great deep dives on web-based horror stuff like this, which is great because getting scared or creeped out means you often miss out on really cool foreshadowing, lore, hints, etc. that he's really good at presenting in an interesting way (also his voice is super soothing). He's also got great videos on Don't Hug Me I'm Scared and the SCP series!

[@HyperfixationWizard]

This isn't a analog horror but a good video to watch during the spooktober times is "Emesis Blue". It's a movie based on the TF2 Characters using SFM from the channel 'Fortress Films' , it's a psychological thriller. It's over a 100 minutes long but I couldn't recommended enough, it's truly amazing.

If i could recommend some more analog horror i got 2 favorites: 1. Gemini Home Entertainment. Lots of corrupted home videos. Really creepy cosmic horror/John Carpenter angle. 2. Monument Mythos. Basically all national/global monuments are haunted. It gets crazy but it also has more of a comedic side.

When I saw the thumbnail and title I was hyped. Also something to note about the series is to also watch the shorter side episodes along with the main volumes so the story won't go over your head. Though that would be more scary videos to watch so I guess pick your poison. Side note to end on, probs my favorite video of the series is the vol 333. short follow up video "Every day gets brighter".

Oh wow, I didn't realize you watched this, this is a really fun series. I recently got into you because of the anime stuff, but love this (Just like the backrooms, another series like this). By the way, have you considered reacting to songs or artists? I wanted to recommend Mili, a band which does interesting songs. The album "To kill a living book" is really good, and some of the separate songs like Between Two Worlds, Phantomcat of Meowloween (Halloween based!) and Ocean Bby to name a few. All great songs, all interesting imo.

So, something you might have missed. If Mark shot himself, who posted the video? And if someone else put up the video, that also means they were the ones to add those text blocks, like: "I don't want to see what's on the other side..." and "Nobody came for me." The best part? You fell for the trap. You believed this was all Mark and his friend, but it was the Alternate, posting up the video in their name, tricking you and mocking you, just as they mocked Mark before his death. Or such is the implication.

[@L-ghtlessSky]

Mark was the one who recorded everything and created the text. Thatcher Davis was the one who showed everyone else the videos.

[@inkblooded1058]

@L-ghtlessSky I more so meaning the stuff post mortem. The mocking messages, the obvious things Mark couldn't have done. I don't know that Alicia picked up on the implication that the Alternates can change media just by being around it or within in. Poor wording on my part.

[@L-ghtlessSky]

@@inkblooded1058 oh yes the alternate definitely wrote the “NOBODY CAME FOR ME” on the black box thatcher made just to taunt em

[@inkblooded1058]

@L-ghtlessSky And "Bad decision, Mark" and many other things. And consider then, that is just what they're *taunting* us with. What do you think they removed that they didn't want us to see? What else do you think they added? If the Alternate looked like Mark after, what recordings could be fabricated by them? Can they just create false media? It's a scary thought.

[@L-ghtlessSky]

@@inkblooded1058 They can, they’ve done it before. Thatcher’s alternate called off all units at one point in 333 when he’s facing it

Just letting you know, Alex Kirster when he started making this was still a minor, i think 16 or 17. There is also an official parody of the mandela catalogue called The Scrimblo gallery made by Alex as well, and he uses it to criticise his own past work as well. He does specifically call out how he didnt like how the conversation ended up being so monotone

[@PsychoSpecter]

I personally don't find this kind of stuff remotely scary, but I appreciate the hell out of the creativity and massive amount of behind-the-scenes world building that happens before the first lines are ever recorded. Too many people hide behind a constant fake positivity because of the stigma most societies place on the darker parts of human experience, but there is a truly incredible amount of art hidden in the dark side. I also appreciate people that are willing to at least dip a toe into the fearful stygian abyss that lies outside their comfort zone. It's not just good content, it's genuinely good for you (as hard as that may be for some to believe). Keep exploring the shadows. There's some cool stuff waiting there for you. 😊
