[Scion of Flame]

Two points I'd like to throw out.

One: Is it just me, or does the black writing from the windshield say Alex at the front end? I imagine the rain on the windshield screwed the text up, so perhaps the writer meant for there to be a message but it was ruined. Just a point!

Two: When Vincent looks in his car mirror, there's a very pronounced black/white effect for me. The same kind of effect we had when we've seen them in that 'other place', and when they saw the Doctor in the storage unit.

Bear with me here, but...with the cyclical nature of things, perhaps this isn't the first time Vincent has been in this situation? The lack of beard may signal that at one time in a younger/less bearded incarnation, this exact same thing happened to him. The lack of beard is a 'reminder', which also causes him to flip out.

It would also explain the 'wrong turn', which I imagine to be Slender buggery. You remember after Evan was attacked in the Ashen Waste video they seemed unable to ever make it to a hospital, and it was dark/raining the whole time. The only way they made it home was after trying to run down what they assumed was Slender Man before being transported to the basement.

I'm fairly certain that Slenderman takes them quite often to this 'other world'. Wrong turns, never ending roads, strange happenings. Seems plausible to me, anyone else?

Edit: Also, House of Leaves. House of Leaves is HUGE on this alter-dimension business, which makes it ever more plausible to me.

I also just want to add that Vinnie as Voyeur takes on a whole new meaning when you consider he might be Slenderman.

The talk of "black bile" reminded me of a lesson on Humorism theory from my psychology in literature class. Basically, the idea is that there are four fluids in the body (blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm), and each one is associated with a certain personality trait. This was popular in Medieval times.

I looked into black bile a little bit more, and I found that it's associated with feelings of sadness and mourning (melancholy). That makes sense for this situation, but not necessarily for the other situations in which we've seen the black stuff. Also, according to Wikipedia, the modern classification of the personality traits that are linked to black bile is a "guardian" personality.
(link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humorism)

So, I'm a bit perplexed, because black bile seems to be perfectly matched to Jeff. He's always melancholy, and he's likely the Guardian in the Everyman myth. Maybe there's no connection and I'm just looking too far into this, but I'd like to see what everyone else thinks.

I was actually thinking about Humorism but then i went through the same mindset as you and, yeah, it really does not fit against vinnies personality.

Still no Alex maybe find his body in circles on the map there.

[The Kempest]

The black bile theory fits well with MT4 Vinnie.

Oh, hey. A siren went off right as there was a crash in my closet. Slendy's here to drop off the Rake. Looks like I have to babysit again.

Ok slightly strange but can someone else re-watch Halloween Hangover? To me it sounds like there's a siren/horn-thingie that Jeff got from Alex right after Evan says "Connecting." I might be hearing things but if some one could take a look/listen. It might be connected, it might not and I could be hearing things.
