INTRUDER PLUSH 2.0 AVAILABLE AT www.makeship.com/products/the-intruder-2-0 ONLY AVAILABLE FOR 20 DAYS!! GET ONE WHILE YOU STILL CAN

Very spooky, Alex. Unfortunately for you, it's daytime, I'm at work, and I'm inside your walls.

"Can you tell me what's wrong with my sheep?" "I aint no sheep expert son, but i don't think their necks s'possed to look like that"

The scene where Gabriel revealed to Jude that the sheep was actually an alternate was such a chilling moment, especially when realizing that it was not a true bless he thought it was.

Because of the ending for Vol. 5, the use of the bird call in teaser 2 makes much more sense. Jude is calling for someone to help when no one can know where he is, just like how the bird calls for a mate yet its the last of its species and no other bird will come.

"HOW DO I KNOW YOU ARE HOLY?" chilling, actually getting to see the fate of the Shepherd first hand after YEARS is crazy. It helps that overthrone is my favorite

The nicest thing Gabriel has seemingly done is revive a lamb, and of course it turns out to be a LAMB ALTERNATE 😭

"you're a FARMER without GRAINS?" is the funniest line in the whole series

The Lt. Thatcher coming to the house is an alternate btw. This is past the point davis has gone into hiding and the alternate has taken his place. Probably why we only see his figure from behind.

18:22 "I am bound by chains on my ankles that grow heavier with every step. The infinite amount of sand will be my tomb, and foolishness will be my legacy."

That ending was horrifying. To me, it seems, that the alternate, taking advantage of the pills for its hallucinations side affects, is now putting Jude through a fate worst then death...just constant visions of horror and taunting him with the vision of his own death, a freedom he'll probably never achieve now...

The "HOW DO I KNOW YOU ARE HOLY?!" feels the same as "Who have i been praying all this time?" Both Mark and Shepherd believed that something holy would save them, only to be fooled to ruin their own lives.

“Safety in pills, Sophie” oh wait wrong analog

Love that alex has brought back the analog horror faces and gabriel's TTS voice. A true return to the series' roots.

Watching this in honor of my buddy that passed away earlier this year. He was a huge fan of this series, among other analog horror projects. If Alex Kister sees this, thank you so much for making something he and I could bond over. I miss you, man. Hope this is available in heaven for ya.

20:44 also I realised that this is most likely the alternate that took thatchers form in vol. 333, he talks weirdly, and later jude says that the alternate was the one who took his family

“He’s here, I know his presence” goes way harder than it has any right to

30:54 oh hell naw they turned bro into a severe thunderstorm warning for the following 6 counties 😭 🙏

That shot where Jude sees Adam's baby bed sent a HUGE chill down my spine. It felt so unnerving to simply see how the Alternate is toying with him in such a twisted way.

12:28 This is the moment Jude Murray need a new dust filter for his Hoover Max Extract Pressure Pro Model 60.

1:56 hearing it without the glitch was uncanny

SHOUTOUT TO THORNE, THE 3D ANIMATION WAS THE BEST. "How do i know you are holy" will be forever in my mind

"It's 10pm. Do you know where your children are?" Holy shit this is just genius. * insert emotional support alternate plushies for everyone *

One thing I noticed with the thumbnails for each volume is that in the first four there's always an alternate. In vol. 1 there's a normal guy to the left and his alternate on the right, in vol. 2 there's Adam and Jonah, Adam is an Alternate. In vol. 3 there's just the alternate, and in vol. 4 there's Thatcher Davis and his alternate, but in vol. 5 there's no alternate in the thumbnail. Isn't it implied that there is no alternate in vol. 5 and it's just Jude's medication? I might be mistaken.

“HOW DO I KNOW YOU ARE HOLY?!” shook me to my absolute core. Oh my God. Well done

18:27 “I am bound to chains on my ankles… the infinite amount of sand will be my tomb”

The scenes of the claymation Gabriel behind the farmer and the floating face in the window were bone chilling. Amazing as always

Unpopular opinion but this was much, much better than Vol 4. Literally every other volume including this one is above 4. The live action shots are still a bit campy and kind of distracting from the overall tone, but the balance of actual analog horror helps this volume a lot.

Can we talk about the HILARIOUS expression of total dubiousness on the Shepherd's face when he asks the Farmer, "you're a >farmer< without any >grains

If the next volume won’t be named as vol.666 im going to be REALLY pissed

that ending was unironically some of the most heartpounding shit I've watched in a *long* time, bravo to everyone who worked on this!

"i love you alex!!" we all say in unison

31:55 This is the type of shit my brain generates when I'm alone in a dark room at 2AM.

Okay so someone on reddit suggested that the Shepard represents Jude, The Farmer Lynn and the Sheep that died and came back as Adam.

5:24 Bro saw a regular-ass woman and was like "oh shit ANOMALY"

ok, in my opinion, 32:29 is the scariest part of this entire episode. The rapid eye movement and his very open mouth, combined with the absent noise scares me to my core. This episode was so good.

"You're a *FARMER* with no *GRAINS* " funniest line in the series

26:00 Gabriel’s pupils shrinking, the oversized head, damn…

I swear he must be doing this on purpose cause 11 pm is crazy.💀 Bro does NOT want us going to sleep tonight 🙏😭

Oh yes, Gabriel got his voice back!

Alex, pls put our unc Jude into 3% of people who survived M.A.D

Okay so here's interpretation of this volume 1. Jude, just like how Judas betrayed Jesus somehow betrayed his family to the alternates which is what the man on the other line of the phone referred to. 2. The Thatcher that appears in this video is an alternate. 3. Jude had an overdose on the pills and hallucinated the alternate that took Adam and caused Lynn to sewerslide along with the other disturbing imagery. 4. In the claymations, the Lamb represents Adam and specifically his future version we see in Vol. 2, The Farmer represents Lynn and the Shephard (the one who's actually chained up, not Jesus) represents Jude.

The claustrophobic shots of Jude in the safehouse, framed by all that black were soooo effective. And the true filmic representation of walking through a small house in the dark and letting your eyes adjust!

I love how simple this episode is, the lore on the last 2 volumes has been really tough to digest, but this one manages to be simple and scare at the same time. It's just Jude being tormented by the alternates, and the lamb being replaced by an alternate makes me wonder if the human adam would have been a saviour.

now this, is how you show an alternate while making it fucking terrifying at the same time, huge props to you and the team alex

"What god have I been praying to?" One of the most chilling and terrifying sentences ever from an analog horror series

"Nothing is worth the risk, except official merchandise."

DUDE THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! the stop motion was so cool!!!!!! cant wait to see more im so in love with this series and love the amount of questions that fill my head after every episode!!!!

It's been a while since I literally have had to look away from the screen while watching one of these, the visuals were so well done and spooky. I love how little elements from past scares have returned scarier. Really tall bendy figures, stark white sclera on a pitch black background, the hanged bodies. Very well done all around.

That claymation looking segment was really well done. It freaked me out.

when she mandela on my catalogue till i volume 5

I know no one will read this, but I’d like to rant on how much this series changed my life for the better. Back when it first came out I was in a horrible mental state, I barely had anyone and I was suffering from many undiagnosed illnesses. When I started watching the series one character specifically caught my eye. The intruder. He was my favourite, and still is my favourite. He’s a comfort to me, and back when I was in that state, having this cool character to talk about and cling to made my days just a little better. Watching this series progress has been amazing, as every time I feel down I always have this to come back to. The community is great, the production is great, the story is great, it’s all around one of the best things I’ve seen. I also love collecting the plushies and figures that come out of this series. My Intruder plush comes everywhere with me, like a protective shield when I need to space out for a while. I can’t wait to see what comes next. Thanks for making my life more bearable lol!

Who needs sleep at 3 am when you have the very relaxing noise of Mandela catalogue

Alex has such a unique style of cinematography and a real knack for horror. Every. Single. Scene. Makes you feel like something is horribly wrong. A sense of impending uncertain doom for the characters. No jump scares needed for it to be the best of its kind on the internet. Note: some of those shots in the end are genuinely terrifying. Everything feels so authentic and real. Props to your work and your excellent comeback. I’m so glad you could clear your name.

"HOW DO I KNOW YOU ARE HOLY" One of the spookiest lines in an analog horror

What a great episode and fantastic use of Stop motion animation. I loved the little eye squeeze of Gabriel when he appears behind the farmer, so creepy.

As someone who grew up with many beloved claymation animations that were prominent throughout late 80s/early 90s, this particular episode really sucked me in. And holy shit at…THAT…scene with Gabriel, horrified me in ways I never felt before in such a nostalgic art form 😱 this is such fantastic work and many praise be to all whom worked so hard on this project! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Bravo Alex~💐

18:18 immediately made me think of one quote from early on in the series. "I am bound to chains on my ankles, that grow heavier with every step. The infinite amount of sand will be my tomb, and my foolishness will be my legacy."

Maybe the mandela was the alternates we made along the way

Happy to see you back at work with this series Alex! Amazing work as always! I am excited to see what is in store for the future of Mandela Catalogue! 👏

Excellent work. Even through commenting is not my favourite thing to do I feel like i should. This is extremely good job Alex. This series is something else.

Dude, the way the alternate made Jude do the unthinkable for not being able to protect his wife and child, similar to how the devil made Judas did the same for betraying his Messiah... THIS WAS PURE GOLD.

So I think I have this right in time placement wise. This is either right after Adam and the wife incident or a few months or weeks after. Jude (Adam’s father) was put in witness protection after his wife was murder and his kid taken (since probably people thought he was behind it). He had a friend who’d take him out of state but I believe his own anxiety got in the way hence the anxiety commercials and pills. The cartoon of the Shepard represents not only what happened after to the shepherd earlier in the Gabriel video scenes we’ve seen before, but it also represents Jude currently. Jude is the shepherd that the alternates manipulated, Adam is the lamb that was killed and replaced, and the farmer is Lynn who asked him to come back for her and Adam that same day she was killed. The alternate we see now is N who can apparently taken on a variety of different forms and possible also impersonated the officer Davis we saw in this vid since he seemed a tad off. If I missed anything feel free to correct me

16:05 the clock stopping is a curious detail that i haven't quite figured out the meaning of but it also happens in 2.38 right before someone (presumably an alternate) opens the door, so it likely has something to do with their presence

19:58 I don’t know if anyone’s caught this, but the medicine’s logo is a Chi-Rho, a symbol of Christ that predates the cross’s use as a symbol.

That puppet scene with Gabriel left me chilled. Holy fuck I am glad you're back.

I love how this volume focuses on other characters that aren't Mark or Adam

I'm very late to commenting despite the fact I was watching the premiere when it first came out but HOLY SHIT is this volume amazing! Not only was the live action done very well this time around, but the claymation was genuinely amazing! I think this is honestly my favorite Volume now!

I just love how it connects back to overthrone. Keep up the great work, Alex!

'you are not alone. Take action immediately'

”How do I know you are holy?” is so terrifying and beautiful. great work alex and everyone who worked on this, this genuinely incredible.

Thanks Alex for actually scaring me with your series

I have been watching you since the beginning, I’m glad you have continued to post amazing content and consistently get better. Even after all the rumors. Hope you keep posting for years to come.

WE SURVIVING M.A.D TONIGHT!!! 🗣🗣🗣🗣

“stop, stop. please” IS SO REAL I CANT???

I love how this was a simultaneous return to form and a step forward, you really cooked with this one!

Glad to see this was posted after everything. Good work, Alex.

From what I’ve got for now, I believe Jude may have taken too many of his prescription pills and is hallucinating encounters with alternates. It is likely he is infected with M.A.D., from what I know. Given the scene at the end, where we only see Jude, it seems the alternates he is seeing aren’t really there. I’ll edit this tomorrow and add more on my interpretation and my theories.

"together we are the mandela catalogue!" Ahh comments😭🙏

Found out this dropped right in time for dinner, nice! I'm glad you're still creating.

24:19 I’m rubbing the door… door feel good

I truly did not Jude coming back, the fact he ran away is an exact parallel to Thatcher. Now they both sit alone tortured by the demons of the past. Bravo Alex.

WE'RE GETTING NO ROOM FOR THE BOTH OF US IN THIS ONE🗣 (ALEX COOKED WITH THIS EPISODE)

Bro this episode is so great!!! I can’t wait to see what’s else for this series. I love to see the origins or another story based on the intruder!

alex, i truly think this is a perfect balance between the first two and last two volumes. wonderful use of various media, and elicits the same dread i felt with the first two volumes. excellent work from you and the team.

Very spooky and so well done! I LOVE the stop motion used in this Vol., I hope we see more of it in future videos. Fits the uncanny valley of this series so well!

this episode is goddamn amazing, it was so immersive, genuinely scary, and the storyline is a lot more tangible and cohesive, dont stop making these please

25:59 Fuck Gabriel is just so god damn terrifying.

Me personally the fact his name is Judas and we have Alt Gabriel makes me want to become MatPat

The music/sound design in the Vol. is amazing this has been the best yet imo! I just recently got into ARGs and I’m pretty much lost in the meaning of the volumes mini episodes (I’m not even sure I’m watching in the right order 😅) but I’m fully invested and want more I know that much!

glad to see youre okay enough to at least still make these man. hope everythings well irl i honestly havent been keeping up

im going to have a full on panic attack rn and idk if its because of this or the storm outside

So once again, fantastic job Alex! This was so unsettling, but also wanted to praise that med commercical because I was laughing it was so spot on with the imagery. Loved it haha

You know, while i like 4 and everything that came after it, this is a major improvement. I was genuinely startled and creeped out several times, like a jumpscare feeling except none of the scares were cheap tricks like loud noises or someone jumping out of nowhere. That's the mark of a good scare in my book. I hope he keeps this energy going forward, so good.

31:48 I absolutely love alternate N’s warped face

God I can't help but think that the sounds of sheep here 11:02 are the same as in Mandella Magazine😭😭😭 Man, I love Je-

It's nice to see you back Alex, hope you're doing well. Loved this stuff since I saw vol. 1 and I've loved it ever since. Keep up the good work and always have a positive attitude. :)

We beating the false slander with this one 🔥🔥🔥
