MISTER MANTICORE (Channel)

**Mister Manticore** **(stylized as MISTER MANTICORE)** is a YouTube channel that specializes in creating analog horror-themed videos and web series. It is run by Florida-based content creator Alex Casanas.

## Channel History

The channel was created on the 1st October 2016 under the name of ALEXKANSAS. The former name is a combination of the creator Alex Casanas's name and the name of the US state of Kansas. It is unknown if this is a nickname for Alex used by his friends.

The channel was relatively silent for most of the year until the upload of the video 'MISTER MANTICORE' (which at the time was stylized as Mister Manticore) on the 26th November. From there, more analog horror-styled videos would be uploaded onto the channel. One notable video was the video 'CORNERFOLK', which was uploaded on the 26th August 2020.

Things would change on the 12th September that year with the upload of 'LIBERTYLURKER', which would be the start of Alex Casanas's first web series, The Monument Mythos (stylized as THE MONUMENT MYTHOS).

Things would be relatively calm as The Monument Mythos continued, causing his channel to grow, until Alex's father died in the May of 2021, only a couple of videos after the start of second season. This affected his mental health and he had to pause the production of The Monument Mythos. He began to upload again, although slower than usual.

Fans began to believe that the earlier short films made before 'LIBERTYLURKER' were connected to the Monument Mythos. Due to this and his father's passing, Alex made all of the stand-alone shorts private on YouTube, rending them mostly unviewable (except for 'CORNERFOLK,' which became connected to The Monument Mythos, and had started to be it's own series after the releases of 'CORNERBABY' and 'CORNERGIRL'. After this, Alex started work creating a new web series, the House in the Ocean, which had no connections to The Monument Mythos. He took a break after the new series was over. After it, he uploaded a video titled 'Did you really think Alex would survive both times?' before deleting the House in the Ocean series (Which was always intended, as the series was supposed to represent memories and the passing of a loved one. The series was supposed to only existed in the minds of the people who were around to watch it, much like a dead relative) and renaming the channel name to MISTER MANTICORE. He then proceeded to take another mental health break from YouTube.

The channel was quiet for some time until the release of 'THE LAST SON OF ALCATRAZ,' the first episode of The Nixonverse: A Monument Mythos Story, which, as it's tile suggests, is a sequel/spinoff series from The Monument Mythos.

After The Nixonverse, MISTER MANTICORE started work on the Trinity Desk Project and the American Anatomy series, but both were unlisted and Alex took another break. The silence was broken when he started reuploading deleted one-off shorts together as apart of the Perfect Youniverse series, before collaborating with DanBC films and creating Executive Shutdown series. Then the unpredictable happened when a third season of The Monument Mythos was announced almost 11 months after the series initially ended and began almost a year after.
