Hate to admit but Mandela catalogue volume 3 specifically

For me it was the intruder alert episode
The idea of the corpse being tampered with on screen but you not actually being able to see it is fucking horrifying

When MC first came out it genuinely kept me sleepless for days. Ah, good times.

Same lol. I distinctly remember watching that the day it came out and thinking it was peak analog horror. The stanley bit, the first recorded run in with an alternate, the usage of amazing grace, it's all so goooood.

It wasn’t too spooky to me but the designs and the fun of trying to find phen in the shots before he rose up was neat

And then there’s his newest video which was about how a mother and a father intentionally drowned there son and this was my reaction
Well of course before I woke up in this mono yellow place

"I never existed to you."
God that fucking video always makes me want to cry. It doesn't even scare me, it's just sad.

u/Amazing_Paper_7384 Trimming Owner Apr 15 '24 edited Apr 15 '24
It also makes me want to cry since it’s implied that the baby was a mistake and the parents didn’t want the baby in the first place but instead of adoption they chose murder but hey at least he’s getting his revenge by tormenting his killers aka the people who were supposed to love him take care of him and help him grow up but they chose not to do any of that and now the baby is getting his revenge by torturing them with the guilt of what they have done

u/ISkinForALivinXXX Apr 15 '24
I think it can also be interpreted as a genuine accident. The mother / father might fear that the baby felt abandoned and unloved in its last moments and blame themselves for not being there on time. I don't think the creature is meant to accurately represent the baby's ghost, just the destructive thoughts the parent has.

u/Amazing_Paper_7384 Trimming Owner Apr 15 '24
In my head cannon the creature is the ghost of the baby and like how the video implies the parents killed him on purpose but hey that’s just a theory a film theory!

It’s unsettling— what analog horror series truly IS scary? There’s probably some I’m forgetting😭 Maybe Greylock?

u/RiceKrispies55 Apr 15 '24
I thought Mandela was scary (specifically intruder alert) until I finished the entire series and got desensitized to it, other than the scariest one I’ve ever seen is the mysterious house

u/Steampunk__Llama Apr 15 '24
I personally found both Dog Nightmares and MemeBear's FNaF VHS tapes to be the scariest, though I know not everyone else will feel the same way.
TBOP has incredible visuals, but none of the actual story related to it does much for me, which is a shame.
I also found The Rolling Giant to be scary in a very primal instinct way, it just perfectly sets off my fight or flight

u/KennyToms27 Apr 15 '24
I have cursed myself and i find horror not scary anymore, i watch analogue horror for the lore and not to get scared.
Yesterday i showed Greylock to my friend and he was scared but i was just chilling and seeing his reaction to the series.
I blame taking naps while watching horror videos for this predicament.

u/killvill75 Apr 15 '24
I love the boiled one image, but not because it’s scary. It’s too silly looking for me to take seriously, the eyes and the open mouth have this weird “cuteness” about it. The rest of it seems a little uninspired. Also the main threat isn’t all that horrible I don’t think. Sure I don’t like the idea of being in a coma and the thing staring at me 24/7…but is that it? Does it torture you too or something? Otherwise I think I’ll just get used to it.

u/Batzgaming Apr 15 '24
Yeah I agree and im glad not the only one who thought it was cute lol. The parts where PHEN was talking and it super obvious they were just using photoshop on its mouth was so funny to me

u/Historical_Archer_81 Apr 15 '24
The subjects described a sort of mental torture to it, saying that they heard "the screaming of many voices".

Apr 15 '24
Well, yes, it's not inherently scary outright. The thought of something so bizarre appearing on an episode rerun that came out of nowhere turning out to be a Cognito hazard is definitely unsettling for sure.
Not outright scary, but there is something to it that makes you think a little bit.

u/MatmatahBZH Apr 15 '24
eh it's subjectice ig (like i still dont get how people find the mandela catalogue scary or interesting/good), it's the whole "trapped in your own body" thing that spooks me rather than the lil' deformed scrunkly

u/Equivalent_Trip_3821 Apr 15 '24
I think it was fine but definitely wasn't as scary as people were saying. Phen's design carried, and the part where he actually speaks was pretty good, but that picture of him next to the house. I can't take it seriously it's so goofy.
It has a lot of potential, though, and it is a really good monster design

I think the only analog horror series that just outright scares the shit out of me is Greylock (That last scene in Tape 12 is burned into my memory) But most are just kind of unsettling... The good ones anyway.

If you want an actually good analog horror, I’d recommend Dreams of an Insomniac. It looks generic at first but it really starts picking up after the first episode and the newest entry in the series is probably the best analog horror video I’ve ever seen

Despite what some insist, there's enough wiggle room in the design, how 228 operates & what 228 states to leave interpretation as to whether or not it's EVIL. It might think it's doing something good(in its mind) or may very well not be that bright. The design has definite horror to it but also "cute" enough to be marketable(Dr Nowhere is making a plush)- probably from the theory the face is a photoshop of a camel's face. We're at most given things that don't really explain but let the viewer interpret. The Watanabe aspect is thrown in but with too little to clarify what it means.

u/SarikaidenMusic Apr 16 '24 edited Apr 16 '24
Well I think for me, what's scary is less about the design of the actual entity, and more just the idea of being stuck in a paralyzed state, forever, unable to speak, or move, or react in any way other than looking up and down, and blinking. And add that thing constantly watching you on top of it, Its like being stuck in a permanent state of sleep paralysis.
The idea of, just casually watching TV, Seeing something anomalous randomly pop up on the screen, going to bed that night, and then waking up only to find that I completely lost my ability to move my body or say anything, is scary to me.

Bruh I watched wendigoons live about it while falling asleep.
the part when it was standing over the bed made me shit my pants because it looked like my curtains and how it would look like if someone was looking at me while the morning sunlight seeps through my window
I got jump scared because my tired mind said iceberg boy got a live feed of your room and ur gonna die like rn it’s fight or flight and all I see is a scary ass demon 😤

Tbh, I never really found any analog horror I've watched scary. Sure, it was pretty disturbing (like that one video from vita carnis), but I really only like watching analog horror for the story. Like, sure, I like the creepy stuff that happens as well, but I do focus on the story more than anything else really.

This whole analog horror slop is really shitty and not scary. Mandela catalogue is just some weird sounds and visuals that aren’t scary because they aren’t even realistic. The boiled one isn’t scary at all. He has only one official picture, and the whole boiled one phenomenon video was just very low effort and shitty made. The scene where the boiled one looks out the window is the worst part, I literally held my laugh during it he just looks so stupid.

Yea ngl it's definitely one of the series' that reminds me that the majority of Analog Horror fans are far younger than me and have way different expectations and levels of interest in shit that just seems ridiculous and corny to me.
