Right, I'm assuming that people acted out the videos because, for the sake of the plot, it doesn't really matter.

I feel alone in saying this, but the one who worries me most in this series is Vinnie. He seems too assured when he talks to the newly uninHABITed Evan, and he appears to have resigned to the fact that their aggressor(s) won't let up anytime soon; but I still get that sinking feeling that he's withholding something important- perhaps something that was disclosed to him in Consensus when he conveniently turned off the camera?

On to something..

Interesting but I don't think it checks out completely, Jeff didn't know who was filming him.

Goddamn I wish I had been into EMH while the seven trials were going on.

[Lithp]

My main problem with it is, "It's not a who, it's more of a what."

I don't think we missed anything in Consensus, because it cuts to security footage whenever Vince mentions changing the batteries. Here's how I imagine it going:

Alex: So, he told me--
Vince: Hold that thought, I have to change the camera batteries.
Alex: *Distracted by the wrong turn.*
Slenderman: Miss me?

The fact that Vinnie's camera does that click-whirr thingy just like the camera-creatures does seem very suspicious. It makes me remember the "extra Vinnie-with-the-camera" that Vin saw in the property.

Could they be spinoff copies of our main characters that didn't make it in the other universes (Jeff's overdose, and Jeff and Vin's car accident)? After they die they go to the candleverse where they can be used as puppets by Slenderman? Is that why we saw Alex attacking Daniel and the slender-puppets wearing what looked very much like Jeff's hoodie?

I still think that the camera-creatures just aren't very perceptible at least by normal people, at least not at first. Jeff could hear him, but never looked at him once. Daniel never looked at him (and if someone was killing you, I think you might try to appeal to the other person in the room at least a bit, especially if it was one of your friends.) In one of the early candleverse vids, the camera-creature is right beside them but it takes them a long time for them to notice it at all. Maybe Vinnie is well on his way to becoming a camera-creature, but not quite yet.

I think perhaps that Vin is Slenderman's puppet as much as Evan is HABIT's.
Maybe not fully controlling him all the time, but having enough of a presence in him to make "suggestions" to Vin.

It's odd, the cast's families seem to be largely ignored.

Maybe...they don't exist...they never did...?

[WestRoadSal]

Well they're never on camera, but Jeff's and Alex's parents were heavily referenced and mentioned, plus there's a pic of the mother on the EMH wiki.

Truthfully I just thought it was just for sake of the story that they weren't involved so much, just like all the other Slender stories. Look at MH, TT, etc.
If anything they include a brief interview with relatives and short cameos of their girlfriends.

Oh and about the camera thing, don't you think in , Jeff would've went nuts if he saw Vin was directing this murder scene?
At least Jeff could've said his name.

Vin refers to himself as "Everyman" way back in the beginning. We are now deserting him. Also meta.

I assumed it went without saying that Alex's & Jeff's parents were the exceptions. Not only are they the only ones who are plot points, they are also dead from the start.

It is possible that Evan's parents & sister were killed off-screen, but you'd think they'd at least get a mention.

[AdaMiSt]

Maybe this is a little farfetched, and I'm only very recently into this series so take it with a grain of salt. I don't have all the information available, I mainly marathoned the videos.

So here's the thought. What if Evan isn't actually the "perfect host" for HABIT. Vinnie acting very un-Vinnie for a long while now is indeed suspicious. He openly cries for his friends' suffering, yet with all of this going on lately he just seems to hold up in his house. The Vinnie from earlier in the series would be as gung-ho as Evan at finding out what's going on and trying to stop it, just not in as aggressively and physically a manner as Evan would.

Now Vinnie is acting almost blank. What if Vinnie is inHABITed? Not that Evan isn't, but given HABIT's propensity for trickery and general goofing about, what if HABIT is playing the audience like a fiddle? He's leading everyone to suspect things about Evan, who is the most face-value obvious candidate for suspicion, when Vinnie is the real target.

Then again, given the strange way time and space seems to work in this series, it's entirely possible that Vinnie and Evan are currently in some kind of strange limbo at the moment. We haven't really seen outside all that often in a while, have we? And it's always dark out when Vinnie is filming, same as when Evan "woke up" and couldn't get the door open.

I don't know, just some passing thoughts. Maybe they'll feed ideas for further conversations.

All this Vinny being inHABITed certainly makes the way he's seemed so calm about a lot of the past few videos make sense.
