My dad's named Mark and I showed him The Mandela Catalog, and I forgot someone is named Mark in this.

Analog horror can be summed up in one sentence… “That can’t be real….. right?”
"....right? 😟"
Agreed
Oh... There are certain real deals pallies.

Horny is not an emotion. It's a state of being.

I love how at 25:42 there is a recording of the last castrato singer singing “Ave Maria”. For those who don’t know, castrato singers are males who are castrated before hitting puberty. It was a common practice in the late renaissance/baroque era. I heard this piece in my music history class and brought such an uncanny feeling to the room. Just the application in this context makes it for me.
do you know the name of the song
@@llama__5128”Ave Maria”

What does it mean to be castrated

Came back to rewatch this and I wanna pop an interesting fact in
The Blaire witch project is one of the first "analog" horror projects, but it's also very different. My mom knew one of the actors in the original. The actors were literally given cameras and some supplies, brought into the woods by the directors, and left there. A lot of their reactions were genuine. The directors would come and bang on the tent, without them knowing what it was. They would be left notes, like to throw their map into the river. The main point is, except for the beginning and end, none of it was scripted. It was the first analog horror, but it was also something extremely different, and I want that to be known. It was almost like a real life version
DONT CARE 🤣💯👎
@@headphonesonfire-pv6vfwhat did bro do to you💀
I remember hearing about this on a podcast! Though I don't find the premise of Blaire witch all that terrifying, what scared me the most was how genuine their fear and paranoia seemed, and it's because some of it *was* genuine fear and paranoia. Very fascinating.
If you want more stuff that's like that, look into the "Found Footage" genre/medium. It's exactly what you're describing.
This is no joke: one of the ads that played while I was watching this was an anti-vaping ad, and I shit you not, it was right after the bit about THALASIN and the REAL anti-vaping ad started out by saying, "If you love anxiety, you'll love depression." They were, of course, harping on the fact that vaping can lead to an increase in those emotions, but still. Very unsettling timing.
I seen that ad before 😰
I keep getting those ads. I don't even vape. Btw the company is Truth
I got an ad for little Cesar’s after the pizza monkey one, was a bit on the nose tbh
Lmaooo made it 10x more real

Degrence:
A feeling of pure, absolute euphoria, magnitudes better than what any drug other than Thalasin + can do. It is combined with the extreme satisfaction over everything, even the most mundane of things. Accompanied by a minor drop in blood pressure.
Humber:
Extreme confusion. The literal form of someone saying something so stupid that your brain hurts.
Nage:
A feeling of forced friendliness, to the point where it becomes psychotic.
Dorcelessness:
The best term that can describe this infamous emotion is literally 'nothing'. It's a giant void in the part of your mind that controls emotion. Numbness of the mind. Notice the flattened skull in the Dorcelessness portrait? That represents the figurative loss of the parts of your brain that trigger emotion, a part of your brain is gone.
Andric:
If normal cringe was being hit in the face with a paper ball, Andric is like being hit in the face with a nuclear bomb. It's like that pain you get when you hit your funny bone, but amplified by many magnitudes.
Varination:
The reason there are two portraits is to show different intensities. Varination 1 is like being frozen-in-fear. Like you are home alone and something breaks in the kitchen. Varination 2 is like you are bracing for something terrible to happen, like you are sinking back into yourself, just ready for it.
Ponnish:
The feeling you get when witnessing something that just destroys your soul. The best thing to compare it to is the sadness mixed with fear that a lot of Public Service Announcements give off. You just sink back upon being hit with something Ponnish-inducing.
Harfam:
It's like your brain can no longer comprehend the mere existence of itself and everything around it. Your brain just crashes.
Kyne:
Kyne is like you have suddenly and instantaneously acquired all knowable information in the universe at once. So much information that your brain just collapses in on itself. Equivalent to scoring an infinity on an IQ test.
Trantiveness:
An extreme connection to nature. The feeling that you have become one with nature, and this is reflected in the two Trantiveness portraits, which show human characteristics melted with various things in nature (First one represents a tree, second one represents a flower)
Teluge:
The feeling that you are going to die and/or everything will be annihilated. An extreme feeling of dread, to put it lightly.
Onlent:
Pure white-hot anger. The feeling like you must obliterate every single proton, neutron, and electron of someone or something. This emotion suppresses all others, and like primal instinct, results in you attacking whatever you feel Onlent towards.
Loric:
Similar to Dorcelessness, in a way. The pure neutrality of all emotions. To put it into an analogy: if all emotions were mapped on a coordinate grid, Loric will be dead in the origin point, or (0,0). You don't feel anything. You don't even feel as though you don't feel anything.
[REDACTED]:
The unlabeled emotion is not an emotion. It is a grim reminder to everyone regarding drug abuse. This leads me to believe that this commercial is not meant to advertise a product. It is a PSA. A drug abuse PSA. It shows what happens when you take the seriousness of drugs lightly, though the uncanny valley of the Thalasin + emotions...

this deserves to be top comment or better, pinned
Wow awesome analysis
Degrence seems like it would be quite nice for a short while, it would get a bit much though
I like how Kyne is "like" that, implying that it's not actually true and you just feel WAY more intelligent than you actually are.

The Tangi Virus one absolutely terrified me, and I haven't been scared in literal years
I felt that after watching Vita Carnis for the first time, especially after the Mimic episode, and the nocturnal screaming in the "How to Care For Your Pet Trimming" video. The Mimic in particular had me wary of like every odd sound in my house and every slightly cracked doorway for like a straight week. I don't know why it got to me in that way, but it also made the Alternates in Mandela Catalogue Vol. 2, 3, and 4 even creepier to me and feel similarly unsettled when I'm alone or in the dark, particularly in hallways or near doors and stairs in my apartment and my parent's house. Probably going to regret it later this week but I'm about to go watch the Tangi Virus video(s?) now; wish me luck.
EDIT: forgot to come back after I watched the Tangi Virus stuff, most of it I felt was pretty tame and didn't really affect me, but I do admit the logs by the researcher who discovered and named the Tangi Virus were pretty well done. It's an interesting and terrifying thought to be poisoned with the virus you yourself discovered and want to get the word out about, so you know exactly, in excruciating detail, what is going to happen to you, and having no way to stop it, while simultaneously having your whistleblowing attempts thwarted at every turn because you're basically surrounded by people who are in on the conspiracy. Didn't scare me, just chilled me pretty good. Those logs alone would have been an excellent short story. Everything afterwards kind of lessened the terror for me personally, but I still enjoyed it.
@@lykonic1763 bro there is this one analog horror called the painter that gave me the same feeling I haven't watched it in a week and I'm still getting sleep deprivation from it lol
@@williamlatham8185 Is it the one where the murderer keeps leaving horrific paintings of their victims and even a few self-portraits? Ones with titles like "Daniel After The Fire" and "Long-Necked Angel' and "Man in the Pipes"? Because I think I saw someone's video talking about it back when there were only like six or eight episodes out yet for it. Didn't exactly scare me per se, but definitely one of the most unique and awesome analog horror series I've seen so far; the emphasis of the disturbing art being an important in-universe plot point *made by the killer* is so interesting and neat to see.
@lykonic1763 yes that is the one. The specific image that terrified me the most was the paint called "Ian the pig" it was scary

I have a really long hallway in my home with about 4 rooms attached to it, one of them i dont use, so it just stays dark in there , at night i have to close the door to the room because im scared ill peer in and something would peer back at me because of these analogue horror films lol
Girl, I can't even sleep! I kept on looking at the dark corner of my room. I only slept around 4 am 😂
Not me tiptoeing around my apartment tensed up like a cat…
I appreciate you going into the intricacies of what makes it work and what doesn't. It is a very difficult balance to get right, which I'm sure a lot of people don't really think about when watching "THE SPOOKY VIDS"

Analog horror is the antithesis of nostalgia and I think that's why it strikes us all so hard
I've never heard it described this way and I love it. Thank you.
There are four types of analog horror:
1. Something's off
2. News about weird stuff
3. Person telling a story
4. Found VHS tape
And common traits are often something like: Expecting a jumpscare at any moment, but it’s never there because it doesn’t need one to freak you out.
Im deeply terrified of analogue horror, but watching with Mark and having him talk about them after makes me more comfortable.
yeah same, I have nightmares if I watch this alone. With mark, there's none of that
Very pog and true 😎😎😎
i just hate how he watching in silence with no expression, its creeepy
same
man we need mark to react to squimpus's tapes or even battingon's version of them
The unknown, the uncanny, and the feeling that you're seeing something horrible that no one else knows about. These make good analog horror.
also something that was once a comfort twisted into something grotesque and foreign, like something from your childhood you don't quite recognize any more

The Backrooms Found Footage is a really good one. Idk if it’s exactly analog horror but it does have that VHS recording and creepy vibe to it.
True its so much better then most of Hollywoods generic horror movies. I got Jumpscared so hard, although I'm not a person that gets scared easily, but the atmosphere and background noise and quality of the video gives me anxiety. Best horror movie of all time no shit!
YES

I love the backrooms. It's an amazing !
Why do I feel like that guy is gonna become solely a backrooms youtuber because of how much interest his backrooms video got
Fun Fact!: Alex Kister actually made his series just from his phone, he also made the TV Man by actually buying an actual TV!
His friend has a CRT TV and he used that by connecting a laptop to the TV and playing the video
That’s the one on the flesh pit thing right?
@@TexasRed281 no señor, is the guy of Mandela Catalogue
I would have never believed you if you didn't use the word "actual" twice!
Excuse me. His PHONE!?
My personal favorite analogue horror has to be the monument mythos/nixonverse. It just does everything right. It uses mediums that most people are familiar with to show things that shouldn’t exist, and it goes even farther beyond that because the things it presents aren’t just straight up monsters. It’s monuments. Icons of America that nearly anyone living there can recognize, but twisted into something horrific
Loved wendigoon’s vid on that, it’s super fun to watch.
For the Thalasin vid, I was getting kinda creeped out but Mark made me laugh at the “I want some Onlient!”
“You just look at it and go ‘I don’t like that’, and then it gives you more of that”

Or has he?
Unless..

Thats what he wants you to think
There’s a horror movie called “Await Further Instructions” where a family is sealed in their house and gets instructions from the TV that get more and more violent. They think it’s the government giving them emergency warnings and keep going with it even as the instructions becomes insane. It really follows with what Mark was saying about how you’re seeing something weird through a normal medium like an emergency broadcast and don’t know if it’s real or not.
Await Further Instructions! Really cool movie
spoilers for the movie: turns out the broadcast was coming from an alien species.
that movie also reminded me of the “To Serve Man” episode of The Twilight Zone. idk why tho haha
bad movie. the ending literally made no sense at all.
I liked up until the end but the ending blows.
@@mandalorian1282 I agree, but the movie’s idea is interesting! sadly it wasn’t presented well
I don’t know what attracts me to these videos. They’re freaky and i always watch them when I’m alone at night even though I already a paranoid person.
Something I absolutely love about the Mandela catalogue, it builds up tension and makes you think there will be a jump scare.
Like those sudden pauses make you think something will jump out and scare you, it then gives you a lot of anxiety thinking "when will it come?", but it doesn't scare you.
On a comedical note, imagine being in an argument with someone and you pause to go "Hol on I need to take my angry pill rq."
Or someone killing you and being like “hold up let me take my fear pill”
Lemme pop a dorslessness, gimme a sec!

Your videos are so well made, you could talk about dirt and make it interesting!
4:52 I love mark's instant transition from laughing and straight up fear
Analog horror is *almost* scary, that’s where it’s so perfect. If you look at all of really good analog horror it doesn’t have much in the way of jumpscares or gore like traditional scare factors, where Mark says some of the videos fall flat is because they lean too hard on the “scary skinwalker comin to get youuu”. If you make it so your scary thing is completely normal, then you can trust the audience to make the rest of it scary. So when the final twitch happens the audience is like YEP SEE I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG and then they feel that horrified validation that something is absolutely wrong and it’s been here this whole time. It’s taking advantage of the fear of the dark. “That small corner of my room is dark, there is absolutely someone or something standing in there and I cannot go to sleep but I won’t move or else it will get me”. If the corner started doing chippa chimp goofy stuff then you’d just tuck the covers up or call for someone. What makes that dark corner terrifying is that until it does something, you *cannot* look away.
You are not *allowed* to look away.
Keep looking.
Keep looking.
I think what makes this terrifying, at least to me, is the idea of supernatural, uncontrollable forces happening to my natural, controllable world. The monkey one doesn’t give that uncontrollable feel, so that’s where I think it doesn’t work.
Which is also why murders are down right terrifying. Something intruding on your typical routine and threatening to change it permanently.
Because it was dumb, with no sense of realism and an attempt at breaking the fourth wall with messages that might as well read "boo. got ya, spooked ya."
Am I the only one that would love to see Mark turn this into a series? Not specifically the whole analog horror thing, but just analyzing why scary things are scary.
Yeah I would watch a series like that.
yess he has so much experience with horror and is able to analyze it so well

scary is subjective. what one person finds scary another person wont. I didn't find anything in this video creepy or disturbing, etc.

This is exactly the type of psychological, unsettling media I occasionally partake in. I enjoy the occasional jump scare, but it's so much harder to set someone's own mind against them.
The existence of the uncanny valley strongly implies that there was a point in history where it was evolutionarily advantageous to be scared of something that looked human but wasn't.
@@seven07777 I hate that you have a point... One sentence horror story right there. The mental images it gave me are shudder-worthy.
Huddled in a cave, our early ancestors see a figure limping slowly towards them, silhouetted by trickles of moonlight. It's outline resembled an adult person's but it hobbled and staggered like a spring lamb unsure on its feet - *almost as if it wasn't meant to be walking on two legs...*
Hollow, rattling breaths echoed painfully from the facial area, obscured by a cloak of shadow. It's own silhouette betrayed it, however, as the outline of a nose was clearly absent and the limbs were noticeably emaciated. Only when it came too close was the terrible truth unveiled by the dim embers of the group's earliest fires. Lidless, glazed eyes stared hauntingly back at them, as the thing dropped to all fours and scuttled towards them, more agile than before. Shrieking its war cry with a mangled jaw stretched wider than a dinner plate, the tombstone-like teeth made short work of humanity's prototypes.
@@casualhavoc Fuck me, that was worse than I thought
Freaking terrifying
@@seven07777 I hate to be to be the one to ruin the mood, but it is very possible that the "uncanny valley" evolved in order to protect people from going near sick people, dead corpses, and other people who look "different" (such as missing limbs, altered facial features, etc.) so that healthy individuals may be protected from disease.
I genuinely love when Mark just goes off about stuff he is interested in. This video weirdly has the same energy as when he applied his engineering experience with the bridge building simulator. Idk, I just love seeing Mark be genuinely passionate about cool things like this and getting to share it.
i get that, i feel the same really
4:52 I can't help but notice Mark looks like he's experiencing degrence as well
I mean, imagine a serial killer kills someone but no one notices because that person still shows up to work the next day.
It could make a great horror story, you think that it's a horror story from the point of the murderer, but it ends up being something different.
OR, it could be a comedy where there's a serial killer that keep accidentally being the good guy by coincidentally and constantly killing alternates when he meant to just kill people, and is hailed as a hero, as the killer becomes more and more frustrated because he wants to be known as a serial killer.

I love the component of the “uncanny valley”. Not necessarily that it’s a person that feels off, but like Mark said it’s about things we recognize and messing them up just enough that our brains think “there’s something wrong here… I just can’t figure out what”. It’s a very primal fear that can really only be triggered in specific situations. I love it!!
I love seeing this component come out in more games as well! I have the worst experiences of "uncanny valley" ever since I was a kid (that and masklophobia which has some similarities). Recently my bf and I went to Grounds for Sculpture and some of the statues made me so uncomfortable I couldn't go near them. Especially if it's something WAYYY bigger than you are!
@@MasqueradeofAngels it’s wild that a concept that’s as modern as Mandala Catalog or things of that nature stem from something so ingrained in our natural instincts. The only thing I can compare it to is being chased or the fear you’re being watched/pursued. But again, that’s another caveman fear! This whole genre is totally fascinating
I think that’s what makes the horror aspects of Undertale and DDLC work so well, too. In Undertale, we know how the game is supposed to work and Flowey breaks it. We know what the graphics are supposed to look like and Flowey makes an amalgamation of actual photos. In DDLC, we’ve already played through this dating sim for several hours, and now we have to play through it again but now it’s broken and glitching.
It makes you question whether or not the fact that you can't quite identify what's wrong might indicate that there is something wrong with your mind, which cannot be detected from the inside. Becoming aware of something you cannot detect means something is wrong with your detector, and that means you are not safe and cannot trust yourself. Losing faith in yourself is a very scary thing when you feel you are in danger.
Funny how our minds think that way.... Makes you wonder what happened thousands of years ago that made every human mind have some an ingrain feel of ... The ever so slightly off
I love his decent from laughter to abject horror during the second half of Thalasin

I think, too, the way your imagination can do you a lot of the work and putting the pieces together is really really cool. It leads to possibly different people making different conclusions. It’s really cool.
Mark: *talks about the motif of propaganda in analog horror*
Me: “ah yes, the 3 F’s. Front lawn, face up, feet together. Infants and Pets are the smallest of patriots.”
oh god Contingency is one of the most scary things I have ever seen.
glad I’m not the only one who thought of local58
There is 1 more F you’re missing and that’s FNAF
no sacrifice too little
VICTORY POSE
Mark: "It could be anyone! It could be me....not really *ding*"
**flashes back to the "Markiplier is not real" crisis**
It could be you! It could even be *gunshot*
Mandala catalogue is genuinely some of the creepiest shit out there once you understand what’s going on
5:36 WAIT HANG ON WHO?!?!?!? *amazing digital circus theme plays*
@@neptuneknows HAHA YES!
Literally the definition of the feeling “uncanny”.

I think Mark would really enjoy “Gemini Home Entertainment”. Probably one of the creepiest things I’ve ever seen in my life
The one that leans the most on presenting itself like the things happening are completely normal, only to throw the most insane curve balls.
i really hope we get a video of mark finding the channel. especially since we know he absolutely LOVES space, too. so cosmic/analog horror would be right up his alley
yes!
GHE is like the How to Basic of analogue horror.
Yea
Its funny how Gooseworks is now known for TADC
that's what I was thinking
I love the way Mark presents this video and ideas, it's just so cool.
The sound for the emergency alert system is just terrifying to me. Idk why, but ever since I was a little kid it just freaked me out.
I think it’s supposed to do that. Like, they used psychology to engineer it on purpose, so that you pay attention when you hear it. That way, you don’t miss an important message about weather or something.
Hard same.
I had to listen to music to fall asleep, so when I listened to the radio, I wouldn't sleep for hours.
Imagine just waking up and hearing emergency sirens everywhere and you have no idea what in the fresh hell is going on.
For some reason error messages freak me out since I was a kid. Even the word “error” gives me anxiety and slight fear.
Child: *goes missing*
Mother: *starts going up*
Mother: *hangs themself*
Mark: every time!
I have a question why did you use a genderless term for herself
@@edgardanimate3552 Perhaps because it's implied that this has happened multiple times, implying multiple mothers hanging themselves?
@@isaacq4392 then you should use themselves
@@edgardanimate3552 Probably. However, I did not write the comment and I cannot change OP's comment. I was giving a possible and/or likely answer for your question.

Dorcelessnes is a real emotion that makes you feel empty
I remember watching berserk and the horror in there really terrifies me.
Also, since I started watching you in 2012, I knew you would do well in life. I am proud of you mark. Your biggest fan.
Oh boi it’s happening
Highly recommend the Walten Files, several of the scares stuck with me
Seems so
His presence already attracts an extreme amount of people into this horror genre and in turn those people recommend better, and more popular series
I'm willing to bet the walten files will be made into a video sometime soon, if he continues
Ah hell yeah, it's Wendigoon. :D
keep up the good work dad love your videos
Ayoo wendigoon 🤙
"There is an entity that looks just like you that is trying to take over your life"
Well I for one welcome our new overlords, maybe they can get my shit together.
Idk man something breaking your skull open to replace you doesn't sound like a good alternative.
If they can land me a job better then I can, they can take over my life for me. I'll just play video games.
@@usagifang you know they kill you to take over your life, right?
@@usagifang Highly doubtful
@@asra8585 even better
15:38 I was passively listening to this video until I heard the advisory warning mention counties I knew of, and turns out I grew up in Tom Green county where the center of the entity on the map is. Funny enough, when we would get emergency warnings like that, they were always worded in the exact same way as the creator made theirs, especially how the area in which all those counties are in is just collectively known as the Permian Basin. Very cool.
mark really just described analog horror like a science teacher
Markiplier: Breaks down the lore.
Also Mark: Menacingly telling us to stick with the plan.

There's been some good contenders, but Local 58 TV's "contingency" is still the most haunting analogue horror I have ever seen.
Local 58 is the best
Came down here looking for this
Local58 is legendary. The only series I can think of that holds a candle to them is Gemini Home Entertainment.
Most analog horror series out there are made by someone just googling and photoshoping some images and editing some videos, but these two series really put the effort to create something special, to stand out from the rest. They know how to make it work.
Yesss I watched all of it last night its sooo good
Local58 is some of my favorite UA-cam horror along with HiimMaryMary
The fact that mark goes on to make his own analog horror
I absolutely love the fact that in his recommended videos, you see deep space Lofi. I’ve drawn for hours listening to that exact video. Yay Lofi, and yay Mark :) ❤
I'm a night time security guard. I'm watching this at work. No one is on this site that I'm at but me. You can imagine the horror as I start seeing people out of the corners of my eyes thanks to the old hunter instinct we have
I hope that metallic doors do not use electricity
do you by chance work at a pizzeria with animatronics as its main attraction
@@bravelilbirb160 nope, but I've worked in a hospital while it was almost empty
@@gingervk7407 It's even creepier tbh
You’re a very brave person I could never holy shit lMFAO
Not sure why, but Mark talking about his "research" reminded me of the comic that's like
Philosopher: can we ever be sure if an observation is true?
Engineer: yep.
Philosopher: how?
Engineer: lookin'.
This sounds like a possible TF2 conversation and I'm giggling
@@thedoozydan absolutely. Ms. Pauling puts up with so much shit lol
no words can expane how much I love this type of horror
11:06 ikr! That vid was so fun to watch and really interesting. Im glad you like it as well!
that feeling of “i should recognize this but i don’t/something is off” is called jamais vu! (basically the opposite of deja vu) it works really well for horror because it twists our sense of familiarity by changing it JUST enough that we feel confused and worried but not enough that we don’t recognize it at all. like if your childhood home suddenly had your bedroom door just a few feet to the side, it would freak you out just enough that your senses would spike that something is wrong, or not fully real or true
It's why found footage works really well, especially if you live in an area like where the video takes place
@@jackgooge2601 exactly!! it’s why paranormal activity may not have been an amazing movie, but it was so familiar until it WASN’T because it could be any house in america or a ton of other countries as well! also the added fact that footage taken (especially on older video cameras) were typically happy and innocent moments or a kid messing around or a birthday. blair witch messes with that REALLY well
@@lightworthy It's also why the best found fottage ones, are those short films you find on youtube. They aren't made for a massive budget, it's supposed to remind you of similar stuff. Especially ones in houses, cause ;like everyone's heard stuff in their own house they don't recognise and were worried about but brushed off. The found footage does great at reminding you of what if something was there and you didn't check.
Imagine a creepypasta where all the doors in your house switched
Wow, thank you for explaining this! I couldn't exactly understand but now I do! Never knew this existed and could exist in someone's thoughts.
For some reason, this is actually scary enough that I kinda need Mark's presence just to not feel alone.
I need him and music playing in the background to feel better
Fr
you are never alone.
@@s1mplyl0v3 dude shut up 😨😨😭😭😂😂😂😂
Same
27:51
Imagine discovering a new species as a gynecologist though
the thing that scares me and others most about analog horror is that it takes nostalgic stuff or stuff that exists in the real world, and mixes it in with things that arent real. this causes people to think that it could be real because it features things like vhs tapes, infomercials, and old versions of television sets. it seems so real. which makes it so unsettling
What makes that Brazen Bull distressing meme at the end worse, is that it was real. It's just a real historical story they turned into a creepy meme.
L
And funnily, the guy who made the Brazen Bull was its first victim
@@LiterallyMe05 yep. Dude got pushed into his own invention
@@LiterallyMe05 And only victim. True to the king's word he never used it as he found the idea too horrible.
@@LiterallyMe05 that is not true.
I love the little banter between Matpat and Mark recently. He's like the cool kid picking on the nerd who chose Monty golf.
😂😂😂
What scares me is the experience you just explained. Thoes types of things bring me to tears...
The video about the "corner folk" was one of the scariest things i have seen. The reason i find it so scary is because the creatures in that video are often what i see in the corner of my vision.
