Yeah, but there was no zip code or state listed on the address. Which obviously means it's local enough that they'd figure it out. It's just some basic address that they drummed up in between pizza breaks. I seriously doubt it's anything to get worked up about.



Oh, I know, I was just saying that we're hardly ruining everything by looking this one up, since they did bold-facedly show us the address. It's not like hunting down the abandoned hospital.

And OOG
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's almost certain that the address is made up.


And gazza, I know, I addressed that back in my original post. But it's in Tuscaloosa, so it's worth considering that it may have relevance.

I seriously think people should just stop talking about the address. I mean if their set has been vandalized before, i'm sure they wouldn't put up the real location of their set. Anywho, still waiting, i might stab a skin cell due to the wait

I posted this theory in the Conversion thread, so apologies for reposting here, but does anyone think Tim and Masky's personalities might be merging together, and this is what he means when he says 'we'? Hence TTA's "Are you one of them? Are you both of them?".

I actually like this theory. It would explain, "A you both of them?"

The last time we saw Tim as Masky was Entry 62.
In 67, Hoody has left the mask in front of Tim, maybe as a gesture of comfort?
He doesn't take it.
So, maybe he is incorporating his Masky persona into himself, as a way of healing his childhood trauma, maybe Tim is becoming a strong, healthy person as a result of fighting back.
I like that.

Yeah. I understand the significance of Jessica, but it does bother me just a tiny, tiny bit that the most prominent female character in the series is a damsel in distress.

On the other hand, that's the way the story was written, and I wouldn't want them to try to force a stronger female character who doesn't belong into the picture. (Not talking about Hoody, just in general.)

If the address is 79 south creek road, can anyone do a google maps on it? I know it can be anywhere but it would be sweet to find it.
I repeated myself because everyone ignored it.


A search on the address is useless without a city and state to work with. It's just plot padding.

The address is more than likely there in Rosswood town.


there's a few 79 south creek road's in Alabama, but they could have just used it since it seems to be a common address in AL and don't accidentally get fans to start hanging around those places.

I highly doubt they would use a real address.

Jessica did strike me as someone who would have been an incredibly good ally for Jay to have, if she hadn't been captured. When seeing Jay had a perchant for filming everything, including herself, she made up a pretty convicing story to ward him off and was brave enough to question him and confront him on his bullshit in order to get answers where Jay could have been ANYONE, including the guy who had put her in the hotel to begin with or just a creepy pervert. (Jay's lack of social skills really didn't help to change that initial impression, either)

Jay made a lot of progress in season one, but didn't often keep a clear head which has had a number of consequences in the series, while Jessica on the otherhand, managed to keep cool in what was a terrifying situation for her and would have been an invaluable asset for Jay's quest for answers alongside her knowledge of Alex for the last couple of years.



(Speaking of which: I hate to say it, but a big problem with season two is why Jessica decided to stay in the hotel. Is it relevant to the plot? Or is it a plot hole? Because, the default reaction to anyone would be to get the hell out of there. Jay, not so much, as given everything he went through in season one, it's more then understandable that he either was affected by Slendy sickness and forget or the shock of what had happened, but Jessica? Not so much. A better route might have been Jessica living in the town and recgonising Jay somehow or revealing she was a friend of Amy who was holding back vital information and then got snatched by Masky, but it's just not realistic that anyone would wake up in a location foreign to them, particularly if you were a woman, and not try to get out of there)

I don't think it's simply a matter of Jessica being a mere dasmal in distresss, but Troseph removing the most useful person who could get things done and provide info on Alex and having Jay encountering a very poor subsituteone of the most unreliable sources and unstable indivduals to create greater tension (because, it is a horror series after all and things can't be too easy). The series could use more developed female characters, I agree, but I wouldn't really cast Jessica as a mere dasmal in distress from the glimpse we got of her character.

Why are you guys trying to find the address anyways?
Even if you do find it, don't post it here!
Some jackass is just gonna vandalize it.

I've seen this said a few times, with people wondering what Tim meant by "we". I dunno why people are over-analyzing it to mean something else, when the "we" clearly meant the Jay/Tim partnership.

Again, they showed us an address in the video. We overanalyse every other aspect of MH, so it's pretty much a given that the first thing we're going to do is try and find the address.

Unless you're telling me that your first reaction was "Oh look, an address, I'm not even slightly curious where that is!" Wink

I still think Jessica was hiding something. In any normal situation, anyone could've gotten out of that hotel. She made up that cockamamie story about having a fallout with her parents, so the hotel is where she ended up. She was bait for Jay, through and through. It's just a matter of finding out what her motives were. Was she being coerced? Was she simply a construct, like the rest of the hotel? Remember there was no one else in that hotel either. The hotel itself was suspicious as all hell. That whole scenario wasn't good at all. As soon as she said that there wasn't anyone else in the hotel, I would have bolted out of there.

If Jessica's character had been replaced by Sarah or Amy, there would have been a sense of familiarity. A chance for Jay to really get betrayed or something. A new character to fill plot seems to be MH's motif (Hoody being the other needless addition). We had Alex, Jay, Sarah, Brian, Tim and Seth (was Amy there before? I'll have to rewatch). All these characters were introduced and established in season 1. Why bother to use a new character? If Jessica was Amy (based on the current Entry 75 plot), the whole hotel scene would have had far greater impact on the story than it does now.


Theoretical Plot if Amy was at the Hotel:

Amy was snatched by The Operator but saved by Alex, in 26. It said HELP obviously in the last few frames. Either Operator mocking Jay, or it was a legitimate cry for help on Amy's part (or even help against Alex?). Now we have Amy at the hotel. Amy lost her memories of Alex, and the event of Entry 26. Jay being outright paranoid about the whole situation soley because of what happened to her just recently (or relatively recently based on Jay's memory). Now zip back to current events, Amy is now involved yet again. And there is true motive to go and help her. Unlike Jessica where there was zero motive other than for Jay to be knight in shining armor mode. Amy would be the key to unlocking whatever the F is happening to Alex, because she's been spending x amount of time (maybe ever since He gave Jay the original batch of tapes, or even perhaps before, during the filming of the first season Entry's).

Did you not see Entry #52? Jessica went there with Jay after being attacked by Alex. The getting kicked out story was because she lost her memory just like Jay.

But we also don't know Jay and Jessica's relationship before that though. Where did she come from? Was she just some girl he met on the street? Was she an old acquaintance of Jays? Her whole setup just seems... off kilter. I don't trust her, never have, never will.
