Entry #40

Nice to see the Operator's still around and lookin' badass.

Also holy shit 40 entries?

Also, totheark video that hasn't been posted yet:

It probably is the Operator, but I just can't get over how casually he strolls past. It doesn't feel right, like it's an intentional red herring set up to look like him.

Looks like I was right.

Love the use of sound in that video.

Is it just me, or are totheark's videos slowly becoming less nonsensical?

Gwan-Thwei 05-25-2011 06:41 PM

I heard something the other day that totheark actually is slenderman, which would explain the glitching and shit. It would also explain why "Mask Guy" said "you will take me totheark".
But of course, this theory was created by a fangirl, and so is probably unreliable. What do you guyd think?

Mr. Bungle 05-25-2011 07:45 PM

That actually sounds pretty plausible.

Presumably Slenderman makes a habit of carrying cameras around with him, and enjoys browsing Youtube in his off-time.

Also new Entry:


So was the dude in the mask filming the whole time, or did he just come in at the end and bash Jay in the head or something?

I'd say that sounds like the ravings of a drooling retard.

True, true. But the theory remains plausible.

No. No, it doesn't.

About as plausible as Scientology, sure.

Gwan-Thwei 05-27-2011 05:22 AM

LOL.
Hmm, do you think this new "Hooded Guy" is another person like "Masky", working for slenderman or trying to find him? Someone suggested it was Alex gone to the dark side, but I don't think Alex would submit that easily.

Also, while I'm thinking about it, Why do you think they wear the masks anyway? Is there something wrong with their face? Skin sensitive to sunlight? What do you guys think?

OANST 05-27-2011 09:22 AM

He wears a mask because he doesn't want them to know that he is Tim. That's pretty self explanatory.

The Operator is a vampire.

but in that one episode they uncovered his face...and this might not be tim who returned the camera.
Still a bit odd to me. I was hoping it was part of the "SlenderSickness".

OANST 05-31-2011 11:38 AM

There could be more than one, or Tim could want them to be confused about whether there is more than one.

T-nex 05-31-2011 11:58 AM

Or Tim lost his mask...

Gwan-Thwei 05-31-2011 04:40 PM

Hmm, only been a week and the fangirls are already ruining this "newcomer". Damn rule 34...
I may be repeating myself just now, but whatever.
I've heard other stories that feature entities that are like Slenderman. Do you think it's a different folktale, or maybe another sighting, like when two people see bigfoot and report it as something else?

OANST 06-10-2011 01:00 PM



And...


Manco 06-11-2011 12:27 PM

Hooray, some plot!

It's been really bugging me how slow the plot's been moving recently, looks like things are finally going somewhere.

Gwan-Thwei 06-14-2011 01:23 PM

When say screamed "RUN", I actually burst out laughing. I'm not sure why.

what do you think Slendy wants with Jay and Alex?

Mr. Bungle 06-14-2011 04:51 PM

I really gotta catch up on the series. Been neglecting it.

OANST 06-22-2011 11:03 AM



Edit: The Marble Hornets guys have said in their blog that things are going to start moving very quickly in the next few weeks, and that there will be a pay off to sticking with the slow pace so far this season.

totheark's videos have certainly been getting angrier as the series goes on, and we're rapidly catching up to the present through the video backlog, so hopefully things do pick up soon.

I mean, the Operator's shown up about twice, and Tim about the same? Oh, and let's not forget the huge amount of plot threads still hanging - Jessica? Brian? Why's Tim crazy? Where'd the Operator come from? Is Alex good or bad?

Don't get me wrong, I love the series, but they've really got their work cut out for them in ending the series.

Not to mention that they've made more sense too. For some reason, videos that make some sense scare me more than their nonsense vids.

I forgot there was a brian. Tim's mind probably snapped because of Slenderman, I'm guessing that alex is doing more harm than good (from what I've seen), and who really cares about jessica? Besides the fact that she's had her mind wiped too, her charector is largely unimportant.

  • How did Tim first get involved? We can see in Entry 21(?) that he was sick quite early on, but why? Did he come into contact first? What's with the mask? Is he working with the Operator or is he a separate entity?
  • Alex is pretty unfathomable so far, but as of the latest entry I think he may be a good guy - his tapes were in the safe in Jay's hotel, and the fact that he went looking for Jay when he went into the forest makes me think he doesn't want Jay dead/gone.
  • Jessica is important - not only was she at the same hotel as Jay, she was also suffering the same symptoms as him. The question is, why? How is she involved? How long has she been involved, and how deeply? Does she know Alex, or is she completely unrelated to any other characters - and if so, how did she come into contact with Jay? And why did she disappear?

Gwan-Thwei 06-24-2011 05:07 PM

Never thought of the jessica thing in that way. Hm, that is a big plot hole they need to patch.
odd that they would allow that to happen.

Mr. Bungle 06-24-2011 11:24 PM

I'm sure they have had something in mind for her for quite some time. Their plot is quite a well thought-out one, and they wouldn't leave details like that out for the whole series. I can guarantee you we will at least hear about Jessica at least once more before the season ends.

You don't know what a plot hole is.

Wings of Fire 06-25-2011 03:11 PM

And just to pre-empt Gwan-Thwei, even if it doesn't get resolved it still won't be a plot hole.

The terms you are looking for are 'loose end' and 'tie'.

Gwan-Thwei 06-25-2011 05:27 PM

My mistake everyone.
While I'm at it, I made some commetn earlier about "how I believed everything was really happening"...I don't I never did, I just wanted to avoid another flame war. I'm sorry guys.

T-nex 06-27-2011 08:17 PM

Oh wow... Progress.


Manco 06-28-2011 04:36 AM

And now we know where Jessica comes in.

Gwan-Thwei 06-28-2011 06:16 PM

He's finally accepting his fate.
...unless this was a past tape. Then, somehow, that makes it cooler.

MarsMudoken 07-01-2011 12:10 AM

From what I've seen so far, I can make one brilliant inference.

SlenderMan is Cabadath.

You can thank me for this brilliance later. You can also ask me who Cabadath is later.

Those videos are so inconsistent. It's like they're being made by different people. No way I can prove that, though.

At the end I laughed my ass off. WHO ARE YOU?!?!?

That one seemed almost gentle, until the psychotic end. "You are who you are"...if I didn't know any better, I'd say ol' Slendy's being nice.
Then again, maybe he's trying to get Jay to put his guard down.
