Fuck on a cracker that's chilling.


OMG OMG OMG. Alex withheld this tape from Jay when giving him the initial bag of tapes; what's to say that this is the only one? Indeed, how do we know that what we watched in season 1 was a series of tapes carefully selected by Alex so that we'd think he was just an innocent victim?


...that's...wow. That's a good point. Never thought of that before.

Someone give this man an internet.

And perhaps Alex didn't want to do it anymore. He ran, the Operator came looking, thus, why he was so paranoid at the beginning of season 1.

Slendy didn't like this, so he attacked Alex in 14. And so Alex gets to work.

Then he leaves, finds Amy, Jessica, and probably a few more people, and, boom, the cycle continues.


Thats pretty much EXACTLY what I said which some common knowledge sprinkled in -_-


Where at? I just sort of skimmed through everything, so my bad if I stole your thunder, I guess...

Whoo, ima write a long-ass post and hope it doesnt get ignored.

This is an analysis of imagery and links to other entries.

-Tim is wrapped up in a blanket. What does this suggest? Perhaps having been in the place a long time. Is he held there? Is he recovering from something? It brings to mind images of hospitalization, almost.

-Brian leaning his head up against the door: It's strange that alex wanted him to go into this position. It almost seems unnatural, the lengths Brian has to take to get his head there. This is all very subjective, but it seems Alex almost wanted Brian posing like that for him specifically because he knew what was coming. The only connection I can really draw here is Slendy from 40. His head was tilted ever so slightly, in a very creepy way. It's a real stretch, but it's all i've got on this.

-46-54: No fuckin' clue.

-Tim, Alex, and Brian, and what all of this means: I'm not sure. We've yet to discover exactly what's happened to Brian, and until we confirm his state of life-or-death, i think all theories are off the table. You see, there are two drastic paths this could take, depending on his state of life or death, and both of them have loads of tiny little branching theories bouncing out of them.

*If alive, it leaves us to wonder if Brian and Tim were subjected to the same tortures, and if this was the cause to their ascension (or descent) into maskdom.

*If dead, it leaves us to wonder what happened in the missing part of the entry, leaving brian dead on his back, and leaving Tim gone without a trace.

*Either way, Alex refers to Jay, Tim, Seth, Brian, etc. as a group of people who are all "gone." Does this Gone suggest that, perhaps, they all have some split masky persona? Perhaps Tim wasn't just lying in his interview, perhaps he really didn't remember anything about the Operator, perhaps his masky side is a completely opposite force, and if such is true, perhaps the same can be said of Alex's sudden bouts of aggressiveness.

It would also explain the TTA video in which Jay looks like a zombie and is chilling in a hallway with Slendy.

Any opinions?

If that's the case though, then why is he wasting so much time on just Jay who, according to 22, has already been "taken" in whatever way the Operator does his thing, when he could be off elsewhere redoing his whole "Feed the Beast" scheme? Jay was well and out of the game at the end of 26, until Alex sent him the tape.

I posted about this earlier. We don't know where this fits in relation to #22. If Alex was already scheming, maybe he faked the "gone" monologue, intending to make Jay gone, but he wasn't able to do it.

In regards to the whole HD thing:

It's possible that, from a story standpoint, the entirety of season 1 was filmed with the same HD camera, but Jay didn't export the entries at a high resolution.

So if the Operator was controlling Alex all the way back during filming of Marble Hornets then when did it start?

Was it from childhood? Remember the birthday entry.

It just seems weird that Alex would act like that in Season 1. It had to be after some of the entries. Maybe the ones when Alex acts like a dick aka "YOU BROUGHT YOUR DOG", but others like Alex chasing the Operator or Alex and Brian filming in the car came before.

I always thought the entry where Alex and Brian are in the car filming was odd. Alex isn't scared he is just like "Fuck man..." and just tries to get away from the Operator. Maybe he eventually just gives in. That is when he started offering his friends up.

My understanding of this series is this. After all these horrible things happened, Alex was going to skip town. For whatever reason Jay was still alive. Then before he left Jay "coerced" him into giving Jay the tapes, instructing him to burn them. Clearly this entry tells us that he neglected to give him this tape as well as the one at the tower.

But why?
Why would he give him any of the tapes at all?
And why was Jay spared?
How did Tim (and maybe Brian) escape?
Why did Slendy wait several years before returning to Alex?

I am trying to figure out Alex's motive but I can't. It's so confusing. So many questions. I cant wait for the finale, despite me knowing we'll only be left with more questions.


The only thing I can think is Jay is important somehow. Jay was offered as a Slender snack but he figured out a way to fight back. But in doing so, it cost him his memory of the incident. So, they need to rope Jay back in but for some reason Slendy can't go after him directly so Alex gives him the Season 1 tapes, holding back the ones that make Alex look bad. After the end of the Season 2 tapes we have seen, Jay remembers everything, but this brings the Operator on his head again! Jay uses the same method he used to fight Slendy before and BOOM seven month memory gap for him and Jessica. But that left him and her safe from the Slenderness for a little bit. And now, I'm gonna bet the season ends with Slendy descending on Jay yet again.

Just quoting my own post because I've expanded my theory a bit and people posted/quoted while I was editing.

How does Bruce fit in? He was a random passerby, not a lured vic. Did Alex just take advantage of easy prey, or does he wait for innocents to wander in when he doesn't have lurable buddies to offer?


Alex definitely seemed on edge. Maybe Jay was close to screwing everything up for him, and it was getting to him. He just snapped and killed Bruce while he was out of his mind.

Best explanation I got.

Great observation, but I assumed that it was just because Marble Hornets was, arguably, an awkwardly filmed movie. All of the shots of actual acting don't seem professional, and the whole "lean your head up against the door even though it's awkward looking" would kind of fit in.

Well I personally agree with some of what you said, but I dont like the idea of Jay forgetting another span of months or disappearing in a similar way.

A lot of this makes sense though.
