The Mandela Catalogue is an analog horror series created by Alex Kister in 2021, It is comprised of 15 episodes, some a series of VHS tapes. The story is set in the alternate universe of Mandela County, the residents are being plagued by a group of hostile, seemingly supernatural organisms known as "Alternates" which utilize psychological warfare to force the victim to utilize suicide to escape their torment, just to take their place shortly afterwards.
The first volume primarily centers around both Mark Heathcliff, a man who has been in contact with the Alternates at as young as age 4; and the "efforts" that the United States and Mandela County authorities do against the new-found threat in the form of informative PSAs, which are occasionally interrupted and distorted by the Alternates themselves.
The Mandela Catalogue is an analog horror TH-cam series created by Alex Kister. The episodes are divided into instructional videos for citizens of Mandela County warning them of supernatural organisms known as "alternates" and found footage videos of encounters with said entities. The series premiered in August 2021 and gathered an online following in the following months and became a subject of references in memes.
On June 9th, 2021, Alex Kister launched Mandela Catalogue analog horror series, posting the first video "The Mandela Catalogue - Overthrone" to TH-cam. The video (shown below) received over 597,900 views in five months. On June 19th, 2021, the second video in the series, "The Mandela Catalogue - The THINK Principle," was posted (shown below, right), launching the narrative and receiving over 383,000 views in the same period.
The episode begins with an animated short that depicts a simplified story of the creation of everything from the book of Genesis. A narrator walks the viewer through the process, beginning with the creation and separation of light from darkness followed by the sun and moon forming to symbolize the day and night respectively. Along with this, the separation of sky from sea and sea from land is shown with life of all varieties being created to inhabit the three new domains. However, during this sequence, a tree in the background glitches and something is seen appearing beside it. The story returns to discuss the creation of Adam and Eve as they nap happily through the day, but then the time suddenly cuts to night before Adam is shown waking up and walking alone through the darkness.
He eventually stumbles upon the tree from earlier with what appears to be a robed figure standing under it and a thick cloud of fog eventually clears to reveal an apple lying in the grass. The short ends with Eve waking up not long afterwards to see Adam standing over her, blocking her view of the stars above and causing her to be afraid.
Cut to highway with graffiti saying "NO USE ANYMORE TO", and we are then shown the MCPD building, and we hear Dave Lee talking to someone named O'Brien over the phone. O'Brien tells Dave about his successful band gig at a church. He asks how Dave has been. Dave explains that local businesses like his haven't been doing well recently. O'Brien offers to help Dave get a job at the church if he ends up having to close down MandelaTECH.
We then see Evelin Miller, an employee, sorting through tapes, and we then see her looking at a paper attached to a tape, and one of them says "RESTORE". The back of it says "Dave, Same old procedure. Drop off when you're done. -Thatcher". Evelin, intrigued, decides to steal it for investigational purposes. Evelin is then seen walking in a room where she finds an old CRT TV, which says "PROPERTY OF DAVE, HANDS OFF!!!!!". We see the text "VIEWING INTENDED ONLY FOR MR. LEE", but Evelin looks at it anyway, and it shows the Toddler Stress Assessment Video from Vol. 1.
