This page contains MAJOR spoilers regarding THE MONUMENT MYTHOS, if you have yet to watch it. You may start by clicking the link provided here. You Have Been Warned.The Corner Folklore (Stylized as CORNERFOLKLORE) is an Analog Horror series, with its main format being Found Footage and Mockumentaries. It was created by Alex Kansas/Mister Manticore, also notable for creating THE MONUMENT MYTHOS, The Trinity Desk Project, and The Ningen.The series tells us about the small interdimensional visitors known as the Cornerfolk and their effect on the people who encounter them. These visitors can travel through dimensions via what Riley Tillon, the protagonist of the first episode, refers to as "corners," points where realities, mostly Two-Dimensional planes, intersect. Hence the name "corners," due to the shape they theoretically have.Its first episode centers around a man named Riley Tillon documenting his discovery of the beings and his fall into obsession with them, eventually culminating in him entering their homeworld, which he dubbed the "Cornerworld."

Ride the Lightning: The Cornerfolk moving between dimensions is shown as a brief flash of an unknown energy appearing from the corners they go in and out from. The origin of this energy is implied to be related to the Special Trees, which flashed electricity whenever they activated.

 CORNERFOLKLORE (Web Video) / int_61a503a7
comment
Hell Is That Noise: The sounds heard in the Cornerworld consist of various distorted screams. These are presumably caused by Special Trees or by the corners forming the Cornerworld, as similar screams could be heard in Wonderland in LIBERTYLURKERS back in The Monument Mythos.

Time Dilation: The Cornerworld is implied to cause this to its victims. Riley claims that he lost his job due to repeated absences, but he feels like he just left his office just hours ago. It's implied that this quality of the Cornerworld is directly inherited from Wonderland.

Eldritch Location: In the little that we see of it, the Cornerworld seems to be this. It's entirely made out of, well, corners. It doesn't seem to be very kind to the human body, as it's shown it'll fold your organs into axes and likely turn you into worshipping them.
