Oh wow. Sorry for the double post, but:

Has anyone made a connection between the music in Program, and the music in Signal, yet? They are eerily similar.

Also, TTA's age is gone from his youtube account. It used to be there, and used to say 79.

I'm on board with the idea that TTA wants to help J. The audio he found for this reply is just so perfect and then his sentiments of "come back" at the end really drive it home.

I'm beginning to think of TTA as kind of a skittish, child like character in mentality. In Addition he peeks around a corner and says "see you" and in this one he says "come back" as if he didn't mean to scare or freak out J but really wanted to tell him something.

Perhaps TTA learned "the truth" about SM and it drove him completely mad in the Lovecraftian sense, and now he's trying to get J to join him. J exited the situation and missed all of the goings on three years ago so now TTA is trying to reintroduce him to it.

Think about the titles of his replies;

Regards - Perhaps a greeting of some sort, a welcome back into the fold.
Operator - Indicating that TTA knows whats going on and can help connect and guide J to the truth.
Deluge - The initial flood of information from the last three years.
Impurity - TTA getting angry that J isn't catching on to his cryptic information, frustration at J's lack of focus, or that J' doesn't remember him because he's been tainted.
Exit - TTA trying to remind J who he is. Perhaps TTA and J knew each other however J no longer remembers in the same was he doesn't recall Entry 17.
Program / Advocate - TTA attempting to guide J to the goal, which leads to the next reply.
Addition - TTA welcoming J as another "Addition" to those who are involved with SM.
Signal - TTA sending a signal or message to J that they need to meet and that J needs to come back to the house to learn the secrets TTA knows.

Some of these are a bit of a stretch but I believe that TTA is trying to communicate with J in his own deranged way.

I get a scary feeling that Entry 18 could be J's last... but let's not get pessimistic just yet, shall we? I've also started to believe that TTA's messages, albeit very creepy, are trying to be helpful to J and us. However, we can't rule out the possibility that he's trying to trick us.

chaos

seems to me like TTA could be someone close to J[undertands how to "motivate" him], with his reaction to the addition video["MOCKING me"], i don't think there's any way he will back out of it now..

Anyone else notice it cuts to the "Slender Man man" just as the audio says "I will be waiting for you."?

Also, the clip where the "Slender Man man" puts the cigarette into his mouth is doubled and reversed. He puts the cigarette in his mouth, and then the video of that is played again, but in reverse to show him removing it. Not sure if there's a name for it, but you see it commonly in animated gifs. IMO, that was done to keep him on screen for the entire length of the words "I will be waiting for you".

In other words, I believe totheark made a point to say that Slender Man (or whoever the man in the business suit with the blurred face is meant to represent) will be waiting for him at the house.

I watched the linked "Silent Snow, Secret Snow", and noticed a few things:
- The music, video, and speech comes from the episode. totheark has distorted them in the response.
- The footage of the chandelier was played backward and the speed was adjusted. It looks like a human form in the first few seconds, which was probably the intended result.
- In the film, the clip of the wavy-faced man comes with the words "hostile presences".
- Some lines are removed from the text (to make the message more relevant). Also, the word "cold" is changed to "old".

The short film was really interesting, and it seems to fit the theme of MH. Had some Lovecraftian themes - a perceived "truth" is discovered by an individual, and understanding/embracing that truth pushed him into madness.

Knowing that, I believe this response acts be a warning as well as an invitation. totheark used the voice of madness and isolation from "Secret Snow" to communicate with J. As in the film, the voice is begging J to go to the voice and open himself to the truth. However, drawing parallels to this movie, totheark seems to be indicating how dangerous that action would be. He's probably not planning on harming J, but the knowledge of the "truth" may drive J to the brink of insanity.

Man, if 18 was the last entry because J got "claimed" by SM or whatever, I would be pissed. Talk about a cop-out.

I probably should have clarified. I'm perfectly OK with 18 being last entry, but it never not be a cop out. "This is J's friend Brent on his Twitter. No one has seen him for 2 weeks..." etc. etc.
