The Scariest Sentence I've Ever Read

In this video, I explore the storytelling of my favorite web series on Youtube, the Mandela Catalogue, and how Alex Kister was able to use a single sentence to inspire fear.

Music used in this video-

[Eiafuawn]

“You may not rest now, there are monster nearby” is the scariest sentence ive ever read

[CoughSyrup]

You know its good when you get a warning before a horror video

[Yuixr_]

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the universe or we are not.Both are equally terrifying” i think deserves a spot with the most scariest sentences

[megatron]

“We need to talk about your grades” is the only sentence that will send terror ripping through my body

[anusername]

“We’re all out of pizza rolls”

chills. Actual chills.

[IBM-odbh]

Having a suicide prevention hotline disclaimer from YouTube saying “you’re not alone” with the context of watching a Mandela catalogue video feels vaguely threatening

[orbitz]

“Why is my belly so round and big?” Is the most gut wrenching thing I’ve ever read.

[yougyattCAGEd]

“nobody came for me” has got to be the one of the saddest and scariest things i've read at the same time.

[vvswatchescrap]

"Flowers are blooming in Antarctica" is probably the most beautifully dreadful sentence

[DomoMule]

Reminds me of the time I read out loud the shortest horror story ever written by Frediric Brown: “The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door.”

[Yeah_pluh]

The beginning “Who have I been praying to all this time?” That sentence sent shivers down my spine for some reason. I’m not Christian or anything, but the thought of praying to something that could potentially be the opposite of good is scary. If not horrifying.

[savslayss]

“Uh oh bad decision mark” and “I know what you love I know what you dread” were both terrifying

[ralfantino]

The sentence “I have no mouth but i must scream” also deserves a honorable mention

[miguelmanuel]

"The worst thing she could say is no" is the scariest line I ever heard

[RealKidNamedFinger]

“one last video before bed”

the video:

[katelijnhovestad]

"Detecting multiple leviathans in your region, are you sure whatever you're doing is worth it?" is the scariest sentence i've ever read

[deekay]

"my ass itches", truly the scariest sentence to exist. Sent shivers down my spine.

[BlitzoITA]

One of thw scariest quotes for me is "You're not scared to be alone, you're scared to NOT be alone." Its still gives me goosebumps

[rainy]

The way they convey hopelessness in the series is so good. Even just from the opening video. The whole PSA on alternates is pretty much saying “tough luck bozo, we’re not sending help if you encounter one of these things” it’s such a creepy vibe

[nonexistent]

“Your new friend is somewhere is in your house.”
was the point at which i felt the most primal fear i’ve ever had
