Micheal says "You're hear because I need to show you something."
Eric says something that sounds like "That's not right. Fuck you Michael."
Michael then says "That's not right. That's not right."

Michael seems to be very upset at that moment, but more toward Eric and not about anything to do with Slenderman. In fact if anything it seems like he doesn't even notice him. I know he's obvious, but it wouldn't be the first time a Slendy Vlog character didn't notice an obvious Slendy appearance. If he did notice him wouldn't he say something like "Eric turn around, do you see that?"

Even later I wouldn't really describe him as afraid. Through the distortion you hear him say "Eric we've got to go, we can't stay here, Eric let's go", but I wouldn't describe the tone of his voice as panic. At the end he leaves the camera pointed point blank at Slenderman for nearly 10 seconds which also doesn't seem like panic (although possibly frozen).


I actually agree with this. It makes the most sense, to me at least. He doesn't seem afraid, per say. Frankly, he seems unhinged, disoriented and a little detached. His call of "That's not right. That's not right." seems more like an echo of the last thing said to him than an observation of something strange. In fact, it seems somewhat dissociative, which would make sense considering all we know about our poor, dear Micheal.

In the second half he seems like he's sort of snapped out of it, but's still in a haze. He's gaining lucidity. He finds Eric and realizes the danger, but upon seeing Slendy at the end was still in enough of a fog to stop and stare for a moment.

My two cents, at least.

When does Eric say "that's not right", though? I'm only hearing Michael.

And I've rewatched it a few times now trying to interpret the events in a different way, but I just can't see it yet. The camera pauses pointblank on Slenderman when he says it, I really think it was in response to him.

Eric says something right before That's not right. I'm pretty sure I heard it right but there is some distortion.

You got it right Langerz. Mira, it is right at 2:43/2:44 when the pale yellow visual distortion turns into the darker visual distortion.

 		I can't see it any way OTHER than Michael being afraid of Slendy. He backs up and starts running when Slendy comes in and "That's not right" sounds like he's saying it as reflex and not TOWARD anyone so I don't think it's toward Eric. He then seems to be more immediate about getting Eric out of the backyard when Slendy is in the doorway.

 		At 2:44 I can hear Eric saying something like, "Fuck you, Fuck you Michael".

Before that I heard Michael saying "That's not right"
I heard also as Michael says that's not right the first time, Eric is saying fuck you michael.

That's at least what I heard.

Hm, still not hearing it. Here's what I'm getting:

E: You don't know where Shaun is. Then why are we here?
M: [somewhat overlapping] Eric, don't - we're here because I need to show you something Eric. [spots Slendy] That's not right.
E: [attempts to say something, indecipherable]
M: That's not right THAT'S NOT RIGHT ARGH BLARGH

I'm wondering if the confusion is stemming from the fact that the first "that's not right" really does sound a lot like Eric -- but it can't be, because it immediately dovetails into Eric attempting to say something. He is much further away from the camera and it is not as loud. Hindsight tells me this is probably a really silly thing to be nitpicking, but it does seem to be the moment/piece of dialogue that is dividing people.

I was just thinking this, actually.
Regardless, Micheal is acting stranger than normal and this video was insane.

I think as long as it keeps up with this quality, it could be up there with the big three.

Well considering this has been the only video so far where Michael seems terrified of Slenderman, and him yelling, "that's not right" the moment he spots Spenderman, there has to be something different about him this time around. I am not sure about the tie, it's a bit hard to tell, but if it is indeed black, that cannot simply be by accident.
I don't think it's a difference in Slendy but in Michael.

Based on their conversation, it seems that Michael specifically lured Eric out here to try and make him see Slendy? And then when Slendy shows up, Michael snaps out of it and realises what a horrible idea it is?

And I think "he was different this time" refers to Eric and the change in him that his encounter has provoked. Eric isn't so hostile towards Michael once he sees Slendy, isn't so sure of himself any more, is no longer trying to take control of the situation. Look at him when he's hunched over in his garden chair, that's a big change from when he was standing in Michael's kitchen yelling at him.

It sounds like this to me, though I concede I don't have the best ears. Also, if the color of the tie really is what makes Michael freak out, it makes the series so so much better for me. His panic at such a slight difference.. ugh yes makes me so happy. Subtle horror, walking into your garden and hearing the roses sing.. That's just beautiful.

 		I'm really hoping it isn't two Slendermans. That would make this just a vlog version of H(a)unted.

 		I am really falling in love with this series. It has that 'well done' feel that Marble Hornets had when it first started. And it is actually getting somewhere without giant 'walking around' videos and videos of nothing happening which a lot of other new Vlogs tend to have. I also really like how the main character rolls. Defiantly a good one.

This one comes at a good time too, since a third slot for my Slender needs has opened up ever since EMH stopped being about Slender Man.

 		Hmm, this is the dialogue I hear between Michael and Eric starting at 2:35 :

M: "There's a reason I brought you here. Come, meet-"
E: "You don't know where Shaun is."
M: "Eric don't-"
E: "Then why are we here?"
M: "We're here because I need to show you something, alr--"
Then it kind cuts and Michael says, "That's not right." three times, etc, etc.

I'm mostly interested in what I'm hearing in the first line. Why would he say "meet"? I find it a little strange, personally. Using 'meet' seems to imply like, meeting friends. Gah. I can't describe it. So, maybe he meant someone else?

I'm wondering if that yard/house used to be Michael's house and was abandoned or something, because otherwise why would he go into some random person's yard. And he seemed to make a noise when he was at the door, as if he was scared to go in.

I picked up on that too. Makes me wonder if he wanted him to meet SM? Though we can assume that a lot of violence may have happened at the old home, which would explain his fear.. or maybe that is the alley where the nightmares happen? Also, if he was afraid of this SM (and not something else), that could also explain his fear.. Or maybe he was afraid to find Eric really hurt. He does sound relieved when he finds him.

 		someone said something recently about it being the same alley from his dream. i'm thinking that's exactly why michael took eric here.

whether michael's actually been here and lived the dream before isn't clear.

maybe he wanted to show eric, prove that he wasn't crazy, and that his dreams did mean something?

however, his plan went horribly awry when the "grandfather clock" in the middle of the alley ended up standing next to a fence, to which michael says "that's not right, that's not right".
