After watching ALCATRAZAPOCOPLYPSE. Realizing all those cornerfolk were human beings who had their earth destroyed is terrifying. Not only that, but there are multiple corner worlds
I watched this vid before and few weeks later to see AltacrazApocalypse, done watching that and rewatched it again to find better understanding and return to this vid, now it hits very hard.
This hits so much differently after ALCATRAZAPOCALYPSE. I remember when the common theory on this video was that the Cornerfolk and their Cornerworld were just harmless (if strange) entities, and it was all the human’s fault for plunging head first into something his non-corner body just couldn’t withstand. Now I just don’t know what to think. The bombshell that Alex is from the Deanverse, the knowledge that the Horned Serpent outright created the Cornerworld, the fact that the Cornerworld itself is the shattered remnants of an untold number of different realities… .. honestly, no wonder this guy went insane. I can only imagine what could happen to someone when exposed to the Horned Serpent Metastructure with no protection. Horrifying little multiverse you’ve established here, Alex. I’m all here for it.
Another thing I realized is that when the corner folk leap and create the massive amount of energy and you see the big white circle it kinda looks like the giant white explosion thing at the end of deanpocalypse
After watching the ending of MM, it just makes me feel bad for the cornerfolks. They’re in a new world where people live regular lives, them ‘resting’ is probably them remembering on how they were humans too. They envy the new world with them not having to deal anything insane like Alcatraz expanding or the Washington Memorial just being a regular monument not of a tree, but a monument for America. Or their 1st president turns out to become some kind of elongated snake that broke out of the crust of the earth. It’s really pitiful for them to be in this state..
it would be crazy if they were in his house because thats what their home looked like in their universe but in this one its occupied by a complete stranger
"So I just saw a human try to jump into our world, uhm, you're pretty smart so could you possibly try to explain what may have been going in his brain?" "Yeah I'm just as confused as you"
what's really interesting about shadows being seen of partial human deformations is that if we saw plasma dissipation it would be very similar atmospheric occurrence and have nothing to do with our mind or our vision that could indeed be the only proof need be cited to prove multidimensional travel

@@the-letter_s I thought that as soon as he entered the cornerworld, his insides instantaneously underwent the negative effects. kinda like if you were sent to the center of the earth, you would be flattened in the blink of an eye. As for the origami part, I think after witnessing the folds and creases of this strange dimension he got a better understanding of the craft. Plus, don’t you think it might be weird that interdimensional travelers know a very specific skill found in one of trillions of planes of existence?
I like that the guy didn’t die, these sorts of eerie elusive creature videos always seems to be super dark but despite theme it still managed to have a good ending.
The fact that the seeds of The Monument Mythos story are woven all throughout this. The hypnotic obsession like with the Serpent. The blue flashes like the lightning of the special trees. The many intersecting corners like the bends of the thousands of them that grew as the Deanverse apocalypse bloomed. They intersect at each corner. Simply brilliant.
ohhhhh okay I see I'm trying to figure out how this ties in with Last Son and all that Crescent King stuff. I don't watch TV so this is hard for me to follow lol
I like that the Cornerfolk are, as far as anyone can tell, completely harmless, and it's the _narrator_ who did something stupid and dangerous as opposed to the standard creepypasta monster.
this is such a unique take on analog horror! with most it’s usually the “entity” that causes harm to the protagonist, but in this case it’s simply the protagonist becoming obsessed with the entity resulting in his own destruction. AND there’s kind of a happy ending! amazing job on this seriously
1) This is really well made and should have more views 2) Analogue Horror is cool, but I feel like the aesthetic of early youtube windows movie maker conspiracy guy has not been plumbed enough for horror. Raw footage certainly has, but there's something about the combination of insane things, presented reasonably through amateurish but polished by software that has a kind of awkward charm and also a great potential to be unsettling. 3) I accidentally watched this without sound the first time, without realising, and that made the unexplained diagrams quite effectively scary.
I love it when creators make stories of peaceful, and possibly benevolent, entities that don't actually harm the protagonist. Rather, it's the protagonist who causes their own downfall in the pursuit of trying to uncover or antagonize the entities within the story. It's the root of cosmic horror, instead of the good vs evil most stories talk about. Very Lovecraftian in nature, which really fits the type of theme the video is aiming for.
I love how what happened to him was caused by his own mental instability and rash decision, and the Cornerfolk were totally peaceful I especially like how he's found back lying in his home with his organs twisted but the noise he makes entering the dimension is almost ecstatic, like the Cornerfolk dimension is something great and amazing, but he as a human simply could not handle it, so he was chewed up and spit out.
I imagine the cornerworld follows completely different rules of geometry, something we've never considered spending our whole existence in 3D space. the human body only being designed capable of 3D space whereas the cornerfolk could be designed for undergoing drastic changes in their geometric layout while traversing, unlike ours, leading to his body being folded over various axes after traveling through it.
I personally super hate the assumption that all crypto/fantastic beings should be evil or whatever, and more than that, evil in the exact same way a human could be evil, its so annoying. Cornerfolk meanwhile just seem like the kinds of spirits people believed in the old times. They would just be like "yeah a special gnome lives in your hovel eating stale bread. Just dont bother him and he wont bother you. Heck, give him some milk too. He could be thirsty"
@@KOTEBANAROT Same. I like this approach on supernatural/paranormal creatures and entities more than the good/evil one. It feels like something inhuman shouldn't have to rely on human beliefs to be effectively unsettling or strange. It simply is, and the thought of something imperceptible is enough to make humans stand in either fear or awe, or even both.
@@drone-bj2rt i think its because his body wasnt made for the corner world or it could have acctualy been the corner folk but .....i mean he might have invaded one of their nests and got folded by the mother for stepping into her nesting place and also it was pretty justified,i mean what if some random wierd ass giant creature thats 1.5X your size comes into your house unanounced? you might even try shooting or fighting it. so just like humans....dont get into some guys house unannounced or he might attack you.
Honestly, this is just a "even if you could do something, that doesn't mean you should!". Corner jumping is much like deepdiving deep into the mariana trench, can we humans do that? Yes Are we humans adapted to do such a thing? Absolutely not, while in the deep diving case, our bodies would be crushed, in this case, our minds wouldn't be able to handle the chaotic nature of the cornerfolks dimension.
I'd theorize the cornerworld could have completely different rules of geometry than ours, something we've never comprehended as a species that's spent our whole existence in 3D space, wheras the cornerfolk's biological makeup could be built to withstand undergoing drastic changes in their geometric composition when traveling, unlike ours leading to his organs being "folded over various axes"

@@Bananappleboy wait hold up, sorry I'm being a bit slow lol. I've been thinking about changing my pfp for a while now and I think I'll take this as a good enough reason to finally get around to that
Y'know, I don't know what amazes me more: That this is a story where the monsters aren't hostile, OR that this didn't end with the dead/missing status of it's protagonist. Hard to find either of them alone in scary stuff now, let alone together
There was a story from SCP called 'Bees' that reminded me of the protagonist not only surviving but seemingly remaining sane That always struck me as being 100x scarier as we have someone who can answer what happened but they don't or can't for whatever reason
Honestly the last line about him being in the care of his friends is really sweet. Usually in these kinds of stories the protagonist is either a complete loner from the get go, or they push away their friends and loved ones. Here, they still care about him.
I really love this. The old VHS way Reily explains the cornerfolk, the grainy footage itself as he shows them, the way they seem completely harmless and what happened to Reily was of his own doing; I love the whole "seeing something nobody else has seen" thing.
Maybe they travel between dimensions as an escape tactic, like how flying fish take to the skies to escape predators that can't leave the water. Maybe it was a predator from their world that folded him up (or maybe it was just the dimension itself being too different from Earth's dimension, thus crushing him like how the deep sea would to a human).
Until Alex answers some questions, I'll believe that the back rooms exist in this universe and the back rooms entities can corner hop into the corner world in search of food, maybe the monument mythos exists in a world where back rooms entities no clip into our world. But hey, that's just a theory.
I think the reason why was because he actually hit the corner of reality at like the perfect vertice and didn't actually wind up in perpindular reality, where the backrooms really are.
Imagine meeting an anomolous creature that is legit harmless bur because how fearful we humans are, we attack out of fear and inadvertently make an enemy.
@@nonfungable3541 well i mean, it could mean that it has different effects on the human organism, which means that both are dangerous to humans in some way, if not intentional
I find it refreshing when an anomalous story, now and then, doesn’t have anomalous entities be evil in the exact same way known humans would be, or motivated to “harm” us, or even be particularly aware of what harm or injury to us would entail. They might be interested in something or other that we have, or harm us in the process of achieving some goal, but I think that they’re too often portrayed negatively humanized rather than different, possibly unknowable, going about their different, possibly unknowable business.
2:30 The corners likely belong to a nursery or a crib in their homeworld. "P R I S O N" A multitude of corners placed in close proximity could be used to secure the infant from leaving the corner world. "T R A P P E D"
I love how the tone of his voice stays the same even in various situations. Like he keeps the narrating voice for and informative video on, like monotone an professional, but when it transitions to him losing his job, realizing he doesn’t know where the time has went, he still keeps that voice on. Really emphasized the sinister vibe.
Dimensions = Deanverse "Bright blue flashes" that occur during cornerfolk leaps = Special trees' activation Cornerworld = Wonderland 3:32 "The fear of my own destruction will not prevent my entry" = Special trees' ability to lure other people in Organs folded along various axes = Stretching caused by climbing the special trees Cornerfolk = Survivors of the apocalypse in Deanverse ....or at least I _think_ that's what's going on.
Do these entities exist in other regions and locales…if so, would they be called things like, “corner mates,” “corner homies,” “corner comrades,” and so on?
A "creepypasta" where the unknown entity is generally accepted as being *_at worst_* completely indifferent on the presence of humans. Some even going so far as to say that they're beneficial to have since the only rational explanation is that they brought him back upon him making the super smart decision to jump through despite knowing it may kill him.
I wonder if a cornerfolk counterpart to Riley minding his own cornerbusiness, saw a creepy non-cornerdude phase into his cornerhouse out of nowhere and started shooting a series of cornervideos to upload to corneryoutube.
Dude I literally had a dream where I could enter a different and safer world by walking into the corners. I had never heard of the cornerfolk before. I've had this dream twice. Edit: Wait could this mean in my dreams I'm a cornerfolk???
Honestly i saw some the same type of light just last month, i never tried to find out what it was but by some coincidence youtube showed some videos of this channel and came to find this video. I honestly cannot say if this was that thing or something else but the light seem so the same. It creeps me out honestly seeing this.
This is incredibly interesting. It doesn't try to be scary, just a little unsettling. The Cornerfolks' behaviours are even kind of cute. Alright, nah, that ending's freaky. (Also, only just realised how many fucking likes this has. Thanks, guys.)

or it could have acctualy been the corner folk but .....i mean he might have invaded one of their nests and got folded by the mother for stepping into her nesting place
and also it was pretty justified,i mean what if some random wierd ass giant creature thats 1.5X your size comes into your house unanounced? you might even try shooting or fighting it.
so just like humans....dont get into some guys house unannounced or he might attack you.
@@snek9983 I understand now

Honestly, this is just a "even if you could do something, that doesn't mean you should!".
Corner jumping is much like deepdiving deep into the mariana trench, can we humans do that? Yes
Are we humans adapted to do such a thing? Absolutely not, while in the deep diving case, our bodies would be crushed, in this case, our minds wouldn't be able to handle the chaotic nature of the cornerfolks dimension.
but we got machines
@@LazyLoonz pardon?
@@LazyLoonz i dont think the corner folk would enjoy people dumping thousands of metal on their nurseries
they would just fold metal origami
I'd theorize the cornerworld could have completely different rules of geometry than ours, something we've never comprehended as a species that's spent our whole existence in 3D space, wheras the cornerfolk's biological makeup could be built to withstand undergoing drastic changes in their geometric composition when traveling, unlike ours leading to his organs being "folded over various axes"
Cornerfolk: *just chilling*
ThIs Guy: *breaks in their Dimension and almost dies*
Cornerfolk: "what the fu-"
Imagine chillin in your hometown and some dude almost dies

Well, Riley just experienced the Great Division.
Every master of origami has had their organs folded at some point

"The fear of my own destruction will not prevent my injury" is such an amazing line. Awesome work with this one, I was really concerned for the guy.
it's "entry" btw

Y'know, I don't know what amazes me more:
That this is a story where the monsters aren't hostile, OR that this didn't end with the dead/missing status of it's protagonist. Hard to find either of them alone in scary stuff now, let alone together
It's even fuckier because they WERE human. The REAL horror is how they ended up this way
i find it weird u categorize this as scary shit
This explains that not every new spieces we find are monsters, no matter how they look
There was a story from SCP called 'Bees' that reminded me of the protagonist not only surviving but seemingly remaining sane
That always struck me as being 100x scarier as we have someone who can answer what happened but they don't or can't for whatever reason
@Alexthefancollector Walker bet
“NURSERY”
Prison
“SECURE”
Trapped
Honestly the last line about him being in the care of his friends is really sweet. Usually in these kinds of stories the protagonist is either a complete loner from the get go, or they push away their friends and loved ones. Here, they still care about him.

Can’t wait to see the comments of people coming back to this video after watching the latest and possibly last episode of Monument Mythos.
i remember when this only had 108 views. you've come very far.
I really love this. The old VHS way Reily explains the cornerfolk, the grainy footage itself as he shows them, the way they seem completely harmless and what happened to Reily was of his own doing; I love the whole "seeing something nobody else has seen" thing.
Maybe they travel between dimensions as an escape tactic, like how flying fish take to the skies to escape predators that can't leave the water. Maybe it was a predator from their world that folded him up (or maybe it was just the dimension itself being too different from Earth's dimension, thus crushing him like how the deep sea would to a human).
The earth's dimension: Frontrooms
Cornerfolk's dimension: Siderooms
Faceling's dimension: Backrooms
*ef6r7udf* 's dimension: *&^%$%^$*
Until Alex answers some questions, I'll believe that the back rooms exist in this universe and the back rooms entities can corner hop into the corner world in search of food, maybe the monument mythos exists in a world where back rooms entities no clip into our world.
But hey, that's just a theory.
@@coreyford3556 A GAME THEORY!
@@coreyford3556 oh boy do i have some news for you
so the cornerfolk are survivors of this giant explosion in the momnument mythos.
I guess we're back here.
My man actually noclipped out of reality and managed to avoid the Backrooms. What a chad.
Ikr
Giga Chad
I think the reason why was because he actually hit the corner of reality at like the perfect vertice and didn't actually wind up in perpindular reality, where the backrooms really are.
All fun and games until the SCP Foundation has to get involved with all this stuff.
He didn't even have to use a bucket...
Imagine meeting an anomolous creature that is legit harmless bur because how fearful we humans are, we attack out of fear and inadvertently make an enemy.
I don’t think he wanted to attack it though. He just entered trying to prove it was real, and was horrifically injured in the process.
yeah the corner thing was a huge dick and attacked
Pretty sure he was obsessed about entering the corner world not being enemies with cornerfolk
They’re more likely demons
Imagine cornerfolk appearing and grabbing us into their dimension so we are spit out seconds later with our organs folded
“and the reason behind the cornerfolk crossings remains unknown” all along it was because they needed a home :(
"Better scramble like an egg before you get folded like an omelette"
Probably should be cheap to live where he is, it's the equivalent of being beside a multidimensional train line.
I feel like in that universe I would have some cornor folk visit me as a "hello" while I say "hi" back
Like... After I realize they are harmless
Yeah

Seeing this after ALCATRAZAPOCALYPSE this gives a whole new meaning
4:50 wasn't Virginia's organs reversed as well
They were reversed not folded
@@nonfungable3541 well i mean, it could mean that it has different effects on the human organism, which means that both are dangerous to humans in some way, if not intentional
I find it refreshing when an anomalous story, now and then, doesn’t have anomalous entities be evil in the exact same way known humans would be, or motivated to “harm” us, or even be particularly aware of what harm or injury to us would entail.
They might be interested in something or other that we have, or harm us in the process of achieving some goal, but I think that they’re too often portrayed negatively humanized rather than different, possibly unknowable, going about their different, possibly unknowable business.
The SCP wiki has a ton of these
You said "harm" 3 times
2:30
The corners likely belong to a nursery or a crib in their homeworld.
"P R I S O N"
A multitude of corners placed in close proximity could be used to secure the infant from leaving the corner world.
"T R A P P E D"

Omg! Good catch
i was wondering if anybody else spotted that
ALCATRAZ
You absolute mad lad. Just finished monument mythos.
Well i guess this is canon now
I love how the tone of his voice stays the same even in various situations. Like he keeps the narrating voice for and informative video on, like monotone an professional, but when it transitions to him losing his job, realizing he doesn’t know where the time has went, he still keeps that voice on. Really emphasized the sinister vibe.
love these cute little corner dudes
2:35 look at the text. (Alkatraz reference?)
"prison". Did Alex have it all planned out from the beginning? 🤔
Probably
Dimensions = Deanverse
"Bright blue flashes" that occur during cornerfolk leaps = Special trees' activation
Cornerworld = Wonderland
3:32 "The fear of my own destruction will not prevent my entry" = Special trees' ability to lure other people in
Organs folded along various axes = Stretching caused by climbing the special trees
Cornerfolk = Survivors of the apocalypse in Deanverse
....or at least I _think_ that's what's going on.
Also the guy says "THE TREES" when He enters.
They're from the shattered remains of another universe that's so sad😢
Corner world isn’t wonderland
Do these entities exist in other regions and locales…if so, would they be called things like, “corner mates,” “corner homies,” “corner comrades,” and so on?
Corner gang
"Corner prophet", preys about being the world in the world on the corner. Channels that it is near about the corner.
"corner comrades" implied that these entities squats while holding a bottle of vodka by the corner.
@@biwarayoganata да!
When they bark, are they Corndogs?
A "creepypasta" where the unknown entity is generally accepted as being *_at worst_* completely indifferent on the presence of humans. Some even going so far as to say that they're beneficial to have since the only rational explanation is that they brought him back upon him making the super smart decision to jump through despite knowing it may kill him.
It's even fuckier because they WERE human. The REAL horror is how they ended up this way
Survivors of the Great Division.

I wonder if a cornerfolk counterpart to Riley minding his own cornerbusiness, saw a creepy non-cornerdude phase into his cornerhouse out of nowhere and started shooting a series of cornervideos to upload to corneryoutube.
Knowing what the cornerfolk are makes this possible
I love it when horror manages to be scary enough to be interesting yet calming enough to not make me never sleep for 20 nights
Dude I literally had a dream where I could enter a different and safer world by walking into the corners. I had never heard of the cornerfolk before. I've had this dream twice.
Edit: Wait could this mean in my dreams I'm a cornerfolk???
Honestly i saw some the same type of light just last month, i never tried to find out what it was but by some coincidence youtube showed some videos of this channel and came to find this video. I honestly cannot say if this was that thing or something else but the light seem so the same. It creeps me out honestly seeing this.
