Season 2 is IMO SIGNIFICANTLY more impressive than Season 1. So if you didn't quite fully understand what people are raving about yet, I'm pretty sure you will soon if you haven't already. Also make SURE to watch the CORNERFOLK videos too!!! (Just watch all 3 after STARYSPHINX).
Hi I wanted to tell you that I have terrible adhd and that you 100% make it better, I can’t sit still long enough to watch all of the short videos in a playlist but your explanations I can sit down and watch/listen to as well as the fact I have a hard time with English and your explanation helps immensely
theres some deleted stuff here and there, i'd have to do some digging to make sure i have them all. But yeah not EVERYTHING is on youtube.
You should do happy meat farms
Now we need @Night Mind to do a video on *Nephthys Media - P L A N E T S*.
Their is some really crazy way to do analog horror in a future setting that is done very well…
We thought Gemini Home Entertainment had crazy celestial bodies, but Nephthys Media… boi, you just don’t know…
One thing to note about Alcatraz is that it moves not long after the real-life prison was shut down. Implying it fed on the prisoners there but after it was closed down they tried radiation therapy so it couldn't replicate. Instead, it did replicate and moved to the West Coast in search of sustenance.
Or the radiation therapy is the one that made alcatraz replicate. Remember, cancer is a type of disease in which cells devide uncontrollably, and it can be caused by radiation.
Huh, strange. If says that somebody replied to even though I'm the only one that did..
Also, yeah. That blew my mind when somebody pointed that out on the original video.
i think the only radiation therapy for this thing is a nuclear Weapon
ooooomgoddessss!

The real terrifying thought is what this universe’s version of ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’ would sound like.
James Dean would still be in it but for very different reasons.
Look up “Space Monkey Mafia”
@@nooneofnote8453 I'm afraid to 😳😳😳
Einstein, James Dean, Mount Rushmore is looking mean
Rockerfeller, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland
Giza glass, Budapest, Alabama, Krushchev,
Princess Grace, Golden Gate, Trouble in the Suez
The end of it would definitely invole, "THE FUCKING APOCALYPSE"
I love the deadpan strangeness of this series--how there's very little that's "scary" besides a couple of jump scares (the canyon crown one is my favorite), but it has a feeling like a real bad, slightly coherent nightmare. It doesn't make a lot of literal sense, but it has a symbolic through-line and a consistent internal un-logic that brings it all together in an unforgettable and powerful way.
Looking at it from an in universe perspective, it seems like the deadpan reaction to these monsters would be because its normal. Alcatraz is now a bunch of prison cells that plague texas to california. The ever given just grew legs. People in universe would see these events in the same way we see a typhoon or tornado. Sad, and destructive, but it kinda goes with the territory.
It's an allegory how modern America has corrupted the ideals that once made her great.
So true! You put into words something I’ve been trying to express about this series thanks
@@tuomasronnberg5244 and/or questioning if it was ever as great as we like to think it was/is
A real bad, slightly coherent nightmare seems perfect.
24:40 The "Canyonggalan", as far as I know, is a reference to the Penanggalan, a sort of Malay vampire creature. If I remember well, it's basically a floating head with organ dangling from it. It decapitates its victim, then empties it like an Halloween pumpkin. After, it shrink its own body with vinegar to fit inside the victim's hollowed-out body, and passes as a regular person.
Somebody might have to fact-check me on this: I only heard about this creature once, and it was a while ago.
Didn't Junji Ito have something similar?
@@anidolinteal3132 except the hanging balloons didn’t do anything like that. They just hung whoever they looked like
yep good seeing pinoy folklore get some time in the spotlight
I saw this on a TV show think two word horror story
Yeah, there are a number of malaysian horror movies that use that concept. They're always wild to see depicted
To quote President Dean, “I’m surprised”.
Going to love watching this over and over again!
Better go race cars with my buddy Richard Nixon.
hahahahaaa!!!
@Lev mr president, how's your hearing??
I don't think I'm the only one, but I get scared easily, so it's a godsend to have channels like this that let me experience these series, while also having someone talk through it and cut out a lot of the suspense
im just like you
ditto brother
lol I watched the series once, being scared, and then watched it again(without skipping scenes) and I'm pretty sure theres only one 1 jumpscare in the entire thing.
@@cheese_weasel4953 i for the life of me cannot watch a horror series without someone talking over it or being next to me
Unbelievable.
i love the alcatraz thing because it’s a prison “cell”
great.
why does every bloody person named alex make an amazing analogue horror series man
@Lev Myskin makes sense
best theory so far
@Lev yes
"Some idiot left the lens cap on and we can assume they we're promptly sent to Ellis Island" For some reason, the way you delivered that line is really funny to me.
I think it I finally know what this series reminds me of: the works of Junji Ito. It has that same kind of feeling that reality’s bent ever so slightly out of shape, and I love it. It reminds me a lot of Gyo, where a nation’s past comes back to haunt them in some way or another, and humans are changed in ways you wouldn’t think of before the story’s events unfold. Probably my favorite new horror series in quite some time, it’s fantastic at the feelings it wants to evoke.
I’d kill for a Monument Mythos manga illustrated by Junji Ito
I had Monument Mythos recommended on my feed the other day, and I was really impressed. I've really been getting into analogue horror these days and can't wait to see more from Alex. Hope you are doing well Nick
I hope you’ve been keeping up with his new series “the house in the ocean”
It’s more scary than hilarious I swear. Ok there are some bits that probably weren’t meant to be funny but just the wording or the… what it actually is is funny. Also, watch the restored video after the “main” video, see if you can catch the changes
Copypasta.
@@Joshdoingthings1 The Bushes are ambushed
@@Paranomalous what's a copy pasta? For the record I know what a copy pasta is... I'm just curious what in this comment section is a copy pasta?
@@Joshdoingthings1 thank you for the tip! I'll be sure to check it out!
It's worth noting that parts of this series are based on real world events, like apparently the creator of Lady Liberty did inexplicably die during the statues creation, and the crate holding it somehow developed dents and holes as it was being shipped.
What’s the significance of that?
@@Paranomalous that this story lines up with some real life events duh
@@ignisspiritustenebris7137 No, dummy, what’s the significance of the crate having dents and holes? Why are commies like this?
@@ignisspiritustenebris7137 @[paranormalous] it is about the statue of freedom. spoilers up ahead. the statue was made of some funky glass and the creator shoved himself in it and the glass let him control it. the sttue killed his daughter (Oor granddaughter dont remeber) .
You mean Freedom? Lady Liberty is the Statue of Liberty, not the Freedom statue on the top of the Capital building
you forgot to mention Mr. Squirrel, the best character in this series
@Lev Myskin he is important and I love him
Mister Squirrel!!!
Already saw Wendigoon's coverage of this, but with how insane this series is, I really am more than glad to listen to you cover it for us again! Good taste as always NM c:
Alot has happened since his coverage!
@@judewelos even better
I could watch hours of analysis of MM, there’s so much to unpack
Monument Mythos is the first series of this kind that I've been on the ground floor of.
I found AlexKansas theough his video CORNERFOLK, and was lucky enough to start the Mythos from the moment LIBERTYLURKER dropped.
The small community that grew around it, and the amazing threads of speculation were all worth it!
💯 same!!! We’re the OG MonumentMythosLurkers!
I've only ever seen Night Mind get seriously stumped once, and that was This House Has People In It. To hear him just blatantly go "Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, I don't know how to explain this. This is just freaky." made me laugh out loud in my seat. Absolutely hilarious!
I must say, the analog horror genre had unfortunately became a bit oversaturated lately, and it was a matter of time until many series became repetetive or straight up copies of original ones like Mandela Catalogue or Local58. However, Monument Mythos had truly introduced many fresh concepts here. Overall I really liked it, especially the Suez Canal Crab. It doesn't add much to the overall story, but I like the whole parallel world elements that appear. I won't spoil them here, go have a watch if you're interested!
Why are marxists like this?
@@Paranomalous bro what the fuck are you on about
@@judewelos Look at his other comments, he's obviously some paranoid that somehow connects communism with analog horror, or just a troll
@@svijj_ This series does sort of critique American Culture, but its clearly not saying _all_ of America is bad
im personally very glad monument mythos as a series never tried to *cut corners* like other analog series has in terms of content. ;)
*FUCK. YES.* The monument mythos has to be by far my favourite series on there. In no other series can you see the statue of liberty fighting a glowing nervous system, resulting in the earth exploding and tentaculating before the universe turns into ballsack hairs, resulting in Mr. Game And Watch
*Statue of Freedom, the one on top of the Capitol
I want to turn your head into a crown for this
I have been waiting for Night Mind to do a video about the Monument Mythos, its such an interesting topic to deep dive in. I know I am commenting before I even watched the video but I am already excited, down the rabbit hole we go.
The organic thing shown at 8:57 looks like the Golgi Apparatus, which helps 'package' and transfer nutrients like proteins to different parts of a cell
YES FINALLY! MONUMENT MYTHOS TIME! Alexkansas is such an amazing talent and MM has been my favourite series for a while alongside his other projects like Cornerfolk and House in the Ocean. Excited to see your take here and dive deep into it with you!
Especially since the cornerfolk stuff is connected to the mythos now
House in the ocean is wild. I love it.
Was House in the Ocean uncancelled?
@@SimonPetrikov12 Yeah the whole "being contacted by authorities" thing was a troll and since then Alex has reuploaded the original videos and continued the series.
@@AyanamiRoot2 what contacted by authorities thing?
First Wendigoon and now Night Mind. Im glad this series is getting attention!
I don't wanna say I was responsible, but I was at least partially responsible. 😉
(I kept bugging him about it for MONTHS until he finally gave in and said he'd make it if I promised to watch the video 10 times. Which of COURSE I fucking agreed to! 🤣)
@@Cooe. I'm holding you to your word.
For both parts.
@@NightMind Also, make absolutely SURE that you watch & cover the CORNERFOLK videos inline with where they fall based on release date w/ the main series!!!
Aka, just watch & cover all 3 CORNERFOLK videos after STARYSPHINX and then continue on w/ Season 2. You really just need to trust me on this one. It'll make a HYUUUUUUUGE OL' difference!!!
I bet Wendiloon couldn't keep his friggin' religious beliefs out of his analysis. I really don't get his appeal as I find him f*cking boring, yet, he gets millions of views! Nick is *always* first choice for me. (Then Nexpo, Inside A Mind and now Sagan Hawkes.)
I watched the series a while ago at a friend's recommendation, and loved it. The idea of including Windows Movie Maker content in an "analog" horror series is genius, and I also love the focus on not just providing a terrifying premise, but giving lore behind this alternate timeline.
i love the humour this series has. its horror only gradually builds up slowly, so to see something like DEANDEMOCRACY played so straight forward, while creepy, is actually really, really funny
7:44 lmao, “Some idiot left the lens cap on, and we can assume they where properly sent to elis Island”
I got this notification when I woke up and I got SO HAPPY. I found Monument Mythos through Windigoon and it's one of the first series I just watched on my own. It's so good and the story telling is top tier. Like I'm so invested! I'm so glad it's getting covered and I'm glad one of my favorite channels DID cover it.
The Freedom Faller video showing the statue's attack is so horrifying. You can hear her attacking a woman and stretching the skin over herself, and then she shows up with her face covered in skin. Incredibly unsettling idea, thanks, I hate it lol
Monument Mythos is a crazy story where you have to watch, re-watch, and re-re-watch to fully understand the whole story, both seasons. What blew me away the most was (Spoiler)
Monument Mythos was a stealth prequel to CORNERFOLK explained by the finale of Season 2
that finale made me scream at the school bus with the ending lmao
@@siduxjxhdgzhdjxhxuuxxyhgg1079 I would have loved to have seen the reaction of your school mates when that happened.
SO great to see you covering this one! Found Alex's channel by chance when one of my friends sent me CORNERFOLK after they'd randomly found it in their recommendations. Love to see it!
Monument Mythos is honestly one of the best made topics, and it is like it was made for Night Mind to cover.
Yes. Definitely NM material
I think the Grand Canyon video ties back to Lincoln Looker one, the sister/aunt the narrator’s dad was looking for had the same name “maya” as the Maya from the Lincoln video, the one wrongly identified by the President to be made a Lincoln Looker.
The very same. To elaborate further is to spoil huge parts of series 2, though.
monument mythos is my favorite analog horror at this point, and i'm really glad alex is still putting out videos in the series
Aww yeah baby let’s go, time for Lincoln Monument: SPOOKY EDITION
"on Saturday some idiot left the lens cap on and we can assume they were promptly sent to ellis island" and with that line my sides are gone thank you night mind for generating hilarious quotes for the good spooky stuff :D
I love this series and Alex Kansas so much. He's a fucking rockstar.
That's a second Alex
Honestly, Monument Mythos is the goofiest and most incoherent analog horror series, and I absolutely love it because it knows exactly what it is
It kinda reminds me of Twin Peaks in that way
with Monument Mythos and the Backrooms, it feels like Unfiction content is reaching a long-awaited high point in quality right now.
I've been watching ALEXKANSAS's content since the first few mythos videos, glad to see somebody has recognized the effort he put in! Awesome video!
i really like how this series combines alternate history with horror, it's really well done
Just finished binging. The last episode left me trembling a little- I’m not sure whether I’m looking forward to what’s coming or I’m dreading it. Well done.
( Also, I think those headless photos are a bunch of vintage gag postcards that play off of the weird name of the trail- at least, out of game. How the auteur will play with them in story, who knows.)
it isn’t a game
I love you, Night Mind! Thank you for your videos!
Without you breaking this project down, there are many elements I otherwise wouldnt have noticed or would have written off as incoherent. I genuinely appreciate the spirit of the project, and I personally need horror to physically survive, so I thank you deeply for translating the work in a way that can be readily understood and digested by individuals like myself.
A detail I love about this series is that every video uses a still image.
I for one believe in President James Dean and his cause, even though he was a rebel. I also enjoy is breakfast sausages.
That was a different James Dean. Even in the Deanverse, I don't think James Dean ever did any collaborations with Rowlf the Dog.
Rushmore revenge was the first video I saw on Alex's channel. It's always so off putting to se those 4 stone heads just glaring at back at you as you stare at them. which makes the sudden change to a forest of special trees ever more jarring. That sort of uncanny and suspenseful horror is the reason why Monument Mythos will always hold a special place in my heart when come to analogue horror.
Kinda dealing with season 2, but here:
Monument Mythos sure is a bit interesting, in the sense that the whole "portals into another world" thing doesn't feel THAT bad of a fate... but the fact that it's often used as an in-world punishment means that there HAS to be a reason as to why that's the case. What is the purpose of the infection? Are the lightning trees used to send the people somewhere safer before they're devoured?
Like everything in MM, it’s convoluted and sometimes not explained at all. In terms of how the special trees operate, the wonderland/tree dominated space you’re sent to can distort your physical form. Every now and then, a flash will occur and your location will be randomly reset to a different part of the forest. If you’re in contact with a tree when this occurs, like if you’re trying to climb one, you will be stretched across the different levels of wonderland. Not only that, but you don’t really know when you’re going to exit wonderland either. We know someone can be stuck there long enough to age into adulthood. So I think that justifies why it would be a suitable punishment for opponents of the Dean administration, apart from pre-existing things like losing your family and being forced to start anew in a world with a displaced history compared to your own.
shit is messed up man
It's pretty clear that some places are way worse than others too. Also, sending people into the Wonderland means you can get rid of them and get a replacement for them without the problems with murdering a bunch of people.
It’s simple commie propaganda and really not that impressive.
Says four comments, only shows two.
finally caught up on season one this morning, and immediately thought "wow, this is great, why haven't I seen any big channels covering this?" only to scroll down and see this video in my sub box. So excited to hear your thoughts!
Biologist here!
I believe some of the LARGE cells are simple prokaryotic cells, the stringy things being loops of DNA, lacking a nucleus.
The 2nd 'organic like thing' I believe is a Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, and the rest are possibly more bacteria or similar prokaryotes
Thank you for coming in with the expertise! Any idea what the presence of those might suggest?
I would love to know what the implications are as well.
@@NightMind It might be a pun. Alacatraz is a prison island. Prison has _cells_
@@NightMind ALCATRAZATTACK is a huge “Prison Cell” joke
@@NightMind Upon further looking, I can see the phases of cell mitosis. Each cell seems to increase through the mitosis process, so I would posite to say the prison is acting as a mother, and the cells are something growing inside the prison, so most likely something is in utero, slowly growing to become the creature it will.
In essence, the prison is the birthplace of whatever is in there, rather than being alive itself, so possibly, if the creator goes for a more creative standpoint, the prison is a kind of snail/crustacious shell, or, biologically, the prison will rupture, or will birth this creature.
i love args so much bcs its like ooo creepy then my brain remembers someone made it up and im less scared and more calm and interested. its epic.
Nick you beautiful bastard, how do you bring such high quality content in such incredible volumes? Godspeed friend you're a hero in a time of darkness
YES! I knew you'd be getting to this at some point. I randomly clicked on a video about the Washington Monument that looked like it was going to be some weird conspericy theory video, but what I actually got was somthing far more intreguing and wild. Its such an interesting series that uses the medium of analogue horror so well.
Ahh, finally... THE man tackling THE series. Keep an eye on Alex, folks!
I’m so happy you’re covering this! I recently watched Wendigoon cover this and I am so happy to see another POV of what you see as well! Great video as always
i had washingtonwormhole on my recommended feed and i was instantly intrigued. i typically don't get analogue horror accounts on my feed (it's typically just other channels delving into them, not the original videos themselves) so when it showed up, i knew it was something worth getting into !
Ah man so glad to see Monument Mythos here! I absolutely love this series, it's so nice to check out a Night Mind review after I've watched something, because I miss so much stuff by myself! Super excited for part 2!
Oh finally this was covered by NM. I've been waiting so long for this
YES! You are one of my faves for a reason, with your exceptional content, and you once again do not disappoint. The Monument Mythos series has been my hands down favorite and I have been bugging everyone about it since I stumbled across it. Major love to you for diving into this! So different from everything else that's out there and I cannot recommend it enough.
Aw dude hell yea, was hoping this would happen! Not gonna watch it at 3:46am, but I’m excited to listen tomorrow!
Im so happy to finally see you doing this series!!
*SPOILER ALERT*
It's interesting revisiting _LINCOLNLOOKER_ now that we know that everything in it was total BS the ADA made up. Probably inspired by the Liberty Lurker film.
I didn't expect you to do a video on this, but I'm so glad you are. It's great.
I just watched another creators videos on monument mythos. I can’t get enough of this series. Analog horror, alt history and amazing story. This is my absolute favorite.
talk about perfect timing!! I just rewatched season 1 yesterday. I'll have to finish rewatching season 2 before your season 2 video comes out. Monument Mythos is one of my favorite unfiction projects probably ever.
Been waiting for your exploration of this series for so long! Thank you and i hope you’re doing well!
So Alex is trying to be a present day Lovecraft? Well I support this idea, we need more people like that willing to construct a world for us to explore.
Just without the racism, classism, anti-Semitism, etc. I hope.
@@christopherwall2121 legit thought the same thing.
I discovered Monument Mythos a while ago, and have been trying to piece the lore of this great but confusing series together since, and to no avail. Thanks night mind!
Been waiting for you to make this video for a long time, very glad you payed attention to it!
Here's two thing I think you missed (I have not watched season two, so if these are addressed, I wouldn't know)
1. The airforce one angle likely caused the alcatraz attack as that also took place some time in 2003
2. Maya Arnoldson is not only the canyon crown seen in the episode, but also the falsely imprisoned woman mistaken for Reagan's Lincoln Looker
Thanks for making me aware of this series.
Holey Schnikees, Night Mind! Season 2 is just nuts!
I can't wait for you to tell me about the stuff I missed.
Yes!! I was waiting for you to finally cover this! So excited!!!!!
I'm so excited that you've taken a look at this!!!!!
Been waiting forever for you to make this NM!
The Suez Canal Crab was one of the funniest videos ever on TH-cam.😁
I've been eagerly anticipating the Night Mind treatment on the Monument Mythos since Season One ended. Thanks, Nick!
So glad to see you cover this series! It’s such a wild ride!
Yes! Monument mythos!
I’m excited to hear night mind’s theories!
I was actually exited when I saw this! I loved monument mythos and really wanted to see your take on it!
Yesssss thank you. Oml I love this one so much. So glad you’re covering it
Can't wait to see part 2 soon
Great work Nick, you're delivery of insane shit like this is absolutely perfect
One of my favorite things to do is listen to some night mind while i'm busy watching night mind videos. Nothing better.
I loved Wendigoon’s breakdown of this series so I’m really excited to jump into this video.
Analyses like this one keep me coming back to your channel. Well done. And yes...you did get me. I binged both seasons today. Well done.
Not gonna lie, I love the fact you covered this! Your voice is so calming it helps with my anxiety and just helps me keep stress free while I work
YES, I saw this and was waiting for you to cover it. Best day
Yay I was waiting for you to do this one!!
omg i love this series, your one of my if not my favourite mystery youtuber and i ove you
Ah, one of my favorite projects. Glad you covered it!
"On Saturday, some idiot left the lens cap on and we can probably assume they were sent to Elis Island" is fucking hillarious lmao
I haven't heard your voice in so long and I just felt the biggest wave of comfort when you started talking 🥰🥰
I discovered Monument Mythos late last summer (it was mentioned in a comment on a video of either yours or Nexpo’s), and it immediately hooked me. Alex has since become one of my favorite creators and I’m really keen to see where his new series, The House in the Ocean, is going. His approach to storytelling is really unique and impactful, he gives you just enough to put the pieces together but leaves plenty of room for individual interpretation.
I've been following webseries like these since Marble Hornets, and this one was the first to actually make me go back, rewatch the entire thing, and take very detailed notes. I loved the approach of having so many different sorts of "primary sources" for it--the sort of information you can get from them varies so much, and it made it feel so much more like an actual research project than usual. The information itself isn't obfuscated at all, it's just a matter of stitching it together. I definitely made a LOT of connections by taking notes and crossreferencing them that I would've most likely missed otherwise. I'm looking forward to seeing if your conclusions are similar to mine.
I love listening to this, it’s super cool and it’s long enough to be able to listen and do things at the same time
Not gonna lie, I saw ya once awhile ago on here, but now I’m looking to get my ARG hyperfixation fix, and you’re just the person I need! You have such a lovely voice!
I literally just watched every video on Alex's channel yesterday so this is impeccable timing
OMG YESS I’ve waited for this!
being called a creature of the night double feature: nightmind videos and old undertaker promos to celebrate his upcoming induction into the hall of fame
real talk: as an indigenous individual, i'm really back and forth on how i feel about this arg and how close to satire it feels. i wonder if the creator/s is/are aware of how many of their concepts come off as sociopolitical commentary on immigration and land theft for example, and imagery that mimicks real world protest movements? it feels too intentional for them to not be making comments on certain things and if it is intentional, more power to them man.
honestly, this makes me laugh more than feel fear, because i can't help but interpret it as a taking real things that happened/happen, and real ideologies, and poking fun at them. great companion series to indigenous author tiffany midge's bury my heart at chuck e. cheese's if you can't help but giggle at morbid humor and need to recontextualise the existential dread of living in a colonised society for a minute
It definitely reads as a satirical take on alternate American history to me. It’s a lot like Mystery Flesh Pit’s satire of late capitalism.
@@Kropothead YEAH. now that you brought up the flesh pit, i see it so clearly.
I feel like a lot of people look at Monument Mythos through the wrong lens. It IS a unsettling, but some of it is also parody, purposefully ironic and over the the top.
(spoilers ahead)

The heads-off trail pictures, [REMOVE LENS CAP], Pres. Dean's brief bongo performance, etc. being giggle worthy is just the start.
S2's has many episodes which aren't scary, they're hilarious.
I say this in a good way, many of the episodes are well crafted routines with great delivery on their jokes that wear the skin of oversaturated "analog horror" with a perfect poker face (with one notable interruption by MISTER SQUIRREL) before going back to serious as they tie up the loose ends building up to the finale.
Just watched the whole thing and this struck me as well. It seems there are obvious laughter beats and a lot of irony. In a great way, as the humor invites a level of reflection that might not be as attainable in a straight horror narrative.
I usually stay watching the entire video. I love you it's edited, I love the little clips you always show, all of it is so interesting. Even if I start doing something in the background, theres always a clip that grabs my attention, and I have to look back. Love the videos
Oh man I was waiting for you to cover Monument Mythos! This was so good! Thanks!
