Ahh, thanks.

I think this could be added as a note: In Entry #12, the tape begins with Alex saying "Eh, I don't know. He'll move.", addressing the operator. Also at the end "Hey, buddy." (AKA idk who you are, but GTFO my set)

This basically debunks those "Alex has been stalked by the Operator his entire life" theories, which started circa. enttry #37.

Side note: It REALLY erks me that we still don't even have the slightest clue of which female is behind the camera (the one that says "what is he doing?"). It probably isn't significant at all, but I just want to know. What I do think is significant in #12:

1. Brian walking in front of the camera @ :12. Troy wanted us to know that he was on set. Probably to indicate that he had a little more to do with the movie than just the "stuck in a loop of unhappiness" masterpiece of a quote in #7, amongst other things.

2. What happens after Alex confronts "buddy" to leave. I mean, what happened after that encounter?? Was there an encounter?


I would love to know all the answers to all the questions. My guess is this whole "Hey buddy!" moment is the last time Brian was ever seen.

He was the main character of the movie, so it would make sense that he would be in most shots. They were doing a camera test.

I'm still not convinced that enttry #37 is really evidence that Alex was being stalked by The Operator during his childhood. At best, it's evidence that TTA believes that The Operator's involvement with Alex goes back further than the filming of Marble Hornets. Or, alternatively, TTA just wanted to show off his 1337 hacking/home video stealing skills.


This. Every other time we've seen the Operator, he's been a physical entity in the videos. What enttry 37 shows us looks more like animation/distortion intended to look like the Operator, rather than being indicative of his presence at Alex's bitty birthday bash.

I thought this but wasn't 100% sure about it.. Still, the way he walked in front of the camera so nonchalant has meaning. I'm sure of it. I hope Jay eventually finds lost footage from season one too..

And I really like this.

And yet, Brian is actually there an amazing two times: oncei n that entry, and once in Entry #7. Tim shows up more than Brian, and even Seth and Sarah have almost as many appearances on screen. Given that Alex was supposedly filming MH for several months, you'd think there'd be more footage of people, y'know, acting out the script than what we saw/have seen.

Maybe Alex taped over his own videos of Marble Hornets. Maybe there wasn't anything noteworthy in the tapes that Jay didn't show us (easily the most plausible). Just seems odd to me that Brian is almost never there and all the weird stuff tends to happen without him.

 		^If you'll notice, actual footage from the film only appears three times. Brian was in two of those three. The third time (the gazebo entry with Seth, Tim and Sarah), his character was probably not in the scene.

Doubtful. Brian is in Entry #7 which most likely took place after #12 given Alex's attitude towards the Operator.

Also: Blue has a point, regardless of how much actual footage is shown. Entry #20 takes place at his own house and no one knows where he is. (And just a sidenote about that entry: Tim is acting strangely while Alex seems to be completely normal, another reason to believe he probably hasn't been stalked since childhoold.)

I personally thought it meant "HEY YOU'VE BEEN MARKED SINCE FOREVER", but not actually showing The Operator.

 		This is a separate theory but I was hoping to brainstorm thiswhile we are reviewing current possible facts:
I believe in all masky shots(except the most recent in entry 41), we see that the mask itself is a plastic party mask and whoever masky is, He is more than likely a guy. However there is a common theory about totheark being multiple persons, and I was wondering if the same could be said for masky. as If they are roles needed to be filled by slender man and he will use whoever is around.

As far as support I noticed that the "mask" in entry 42 is simply a ski mask and whoever masky is is wearing a hoody covering the back of the head. before, masky was mostly identified as Tim due to the coat and hair of masky in his previous sightings. But maybe this most recent masky is a woman and had to cover up more as to not reveal his/her gender in the entry.

I might be re-iterating a theory already put out in a discussion(and possibly proven straight wrong) and if that is the case, feel free to insult me but please direct me to said discussion so I may learn more. Happy hunting!!

J didn't show us everything, just the tapes that had something of note in them. He mentions having gone through hours of tapes of both MH filming and alex's surveillance footage to find them.

I think it's pretty safe to say all instances of plastic masky are Tim, as there are always identifying features - Tim's coat, Tim's sideburns, Tim's face, and, most recently, Tim's limp. Theories abound about who skimasky(henceforth referred to as "Hoody") is, but your theory that anyone wearing a mask is the current minion of the Operator is interesting. Keep in mind the timeline, however - technically, the most recent footage we have is from the hotel, which would mean that Tim is both the earliest AND most recent Masky we've seen.

I tend to stick with the theory that Hoody is ToTheArk and, though probably batsh** insane, is not a slendyminion.

 		I hate to bring up OOG stuff, but
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
during the time before Entry #41 (hoody's entry) was posted, Troy wrote in his blog that Tim was helping him with the entry. That probably means that Tim was PLAYING hoody's character, but Hoody is not actually Tim. Point is, the hoody may have been used so that the viewer couldn't see Tim's obvious features, so that another actor can come in and play Hoody later.

 		@Foood Jay mentioned in the Twitter that it is unlikely Hoody is Tim, as it was only a couple weeks after his leg was broken.

 		@Randoman96, it sounds like you didn't even read my post.

What do you mean?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
When did Tim ever replace anyone? I guess you could say that Hoody replaced Timasky, but that means Tim is the one being replaced.
