I imagined a scenario where this new Masky guy was stalking/chasing Alex and Alex was filming him staring at him through the door to the room in which Alex was hiding or something. Who knows?

That's sort of what I'm leaning towards myself- that this was Masky first doing his "masked stalker" stuff against Alex, perfecting his stalker-fu and mask-creation techniques.

 		Taken from the Q/A session:
Quote:
Q: Who "played" [The Operator]? Was it a costume/digital effect/both?


Since this question was originally "Who played Slender Man", and the creators replaced Slender Man with [The Operator], we know what "The Operator" refers to now.

Operator = Slenderman.

Dunno really if this is the right thread for speculations but here goes.

I had a little idea on SlenderMan again which kinda tied into a older one I had, the old one was that Slendy is not really bringing chaos but is actually more like a messenger for it.
But now I changed that a bit, SlenderMan actually is something like a hunter, but he's not after humans, he's after something else.

A few thoughts that kinda get me on that track. In Entry #14 he enters Alex's room and slowly heads towards Alex who then wakes up with a blood soaked face. Here SlenderMan didn't do this to Alex but he was actually after what was doing this to him, he scared it away in the process. Afterwards he remained in the room for a while which is why Alex remained awake and kept staring in a corner, SlenderMan was still there and waited. Alex was maybe in a state of shock or Slendy was in the middle of brainwashing him to forget what happened there, Alex kinda just acted out of "instincts" or reflexes he developed in the past weeks.

So basically Slendys "victims" are really the victims of something else he's after, that's why he constantly hovers around them.

Alex slowly started to notice the pattern, when Slendy was around something bad was brewing, but maybe he couldn't really put 2 and 2 together until later.
When Slenderman suddenly appeared in his house he was kinda panicking to a degree but not in the "OMG there's a faceless monster in my house" way but "OH CRAP, YOU, that can't mean anything good" way. He's not really panicked about SlenderMan but about what his presence means.


There's also a thought that ties into the original SM myth, like the stuff with organs that have been taken out and then either replaced or put back in haphazardly, this was SlenderMans doing but more because he was looking for something like signs that the person he "opens" has had contact with whatever he's after. When he doesn't find anything he puts them back together but is rather sloppy with that, just doing the "if I turn it upside down and shake it and nothing falls out it's OK" way.

In short, SlenderMan isn't really that interested in humans, he just stalks the ones that are likely to attract what he's after and if they get in the way they're just a nasty obstacle.

Now what he's after could actually be kinda tied into the whole filming business, so unknowingly when starting to film himself constantly Alex put himself even more into the line of fire, that's why Slendy primarily stalked him. When J started doing the same he got into focus, but that time around Masky was was there, he's kinda a "assistant" to SlenderMan but also works on trying to keep the people who are in danger safe.
In the "Return" video he kidnaps J and actually uses him as bait, helping both SlenderMan to capture what he's hunting AND getting J back out of danger. After all if Slendy wanted J, he was right there, on the floor and KO, he could have just taken him.
Maskys scare tactics are more an attempt to get J out of the whole issue but it doesn't work too well.

When Alex's girlfriend found the camera she accidentally got Alex but into attention.


Also the coughing and the blood in the sink, maybe this is caused by what Slendy is after too, like if it can actually do organ damage to the lungs causing the coughing and the rather violent blood splatters in the sink. Maskys/Tims pills could actually be something that counteracts the damage, and the bullet casing, maybe he tried to shoot Slendys target but failed on that attempt.


Anyway this has gotten long enough, just another theory to be out there.

 		 Updates and questions answered by MH crew
I've been in touch with the crew of MH and respectfully asked a couple of questions that I ran out of time for for the 'marblehornetsqna@gmail.com" deadline.
I asked Joe if the TTA entry "Deluge" was an intentional play on Joe's last name, and he responded that it was not, but that they noticed the similarity later.
Also, Joe said that a new batch of answers is expected to be posted "tomorrowish." Hurray!
These guys are very nice and friendly and that on top of all the awesomeness they're giving us is just superb. We have been presented with such a great gift in this and we owe them a huge debt of thanks at least.
I asked many other questions by email to the above address, and hope to see several answered 'tomorrowish'.
Thanks to all the forumites who added so much to this experience so far. Stay belted in as we go on to Part 2!

 		Officially De-Lurking
Hey guys, I've been into Marble Hornets for about two months now, and I've also been lurking on the SA forums and this forum for a while now. I read the first and last half of these pots and I've read the entirety of the MH thread on SA and the Create paranormal images one.
-boy scout badge earned: Epic nerd-
Whatever the case, I figured that perhaps I should hop onto the bandwagon and start posting up theories of my own, my roommate and I and the friend who introduced me to this whole thing spend a good chunk of our day figuring out different ideas surrounding MH and the Slenderman Myth in general.

One thing kind of off topic to MH, and more SM:
He goes after children right? But it's never said as to why. He also targets people who 'know' about him or perhaps believe in him. For a while we wondered why Alex and crew where being targeted by SM because of their age, their all college students and way above the Pedo-Profile that SM seems to aim at. Perhaps the reason he goes after children is because their more susceptible to him, more ready and willing to believe in him and because of that are easy pray. Remember how willing you where to believe that a fat guy would crawl down your chimney and give you presents if you fed him cookies? How much of a jump is it to believe in a tall man who hides in the woods and takes you away from your parents if you see him? Anyhow we where just thinking that the fact that Alex and Crew are targets is because they 'know' about him and he's got them in their sights.
Also as a sub-sub note, a lot of people have been saying that cameras or film or electronics summon him, what if perhaps it's like Bradbury's 451, where your mind is slightly more 'open' because you've seen this being, and he's able to sense you through what you know. (This was just mulling around and has nothing to do with anything- just an odd thought was all)

As far as my idea on Totheark/Masky, I think their the same person and I'm also under the impression that their Tim. I've taken more than my share of literature and Film and it's almost painfully obvious how Tim and Masky are the same person: The Jacket being a big hit which (presumably) was put in their as a directive to the audience, the pills that where found in Brian's house that where being taken by Tim and in the same place that Masky was hiding in, the water-bottle that was seen being used by Tim when taking said pills is also found in the small 'bedroom' in Brian's house, and also physical appearance is more than enough as well. One could claim that they didn't have a big enough cast, but seriously it's not hard to get someone to sign up to be a little 'Internet Famous' if you ask them.
As far as Masky being Totheark some of the connections are a little harder, but the fact that Jay has referenced Masky as being Totheark is kinda big, the fact that most of the response videos have some connection to Masky is also a bit of a hint. I think we can rule out that Alex is not Totheark only for the 'Human' element that I've kinda been factoring in. What motive would Alex have to dip back into that pool after leaving town three years ago- actually how would Alex even know unless he too was looking things up on You-tube and made the connection. Seth is a small role and I simply think that he was taken in that manner to offer Alex his 'Final Straw' moment to burn the tapes and forget all of it.

Everything else is just little things I've been mulling over. I think Jay and Tim are suffering in the same way against SM, getting sick, having moments of memory loss, doing things they don't remember. Personally I also go with the idea that Totheark is being used by Slenderman at times, the house contrives sickness and is obviously wrong on many levels, yet Totheark lurks there, and possibly was using it as a base of operations, which could have lead to him being susceptible to SM sickness.
I think Alex has zero involvement in all of this- he ditched town and MH three years ago and they haven't spoken since, and even in the last entry we see Alex trying to live a normal life. The only thing I see Alex being involved in is the last tape delivered to Jay, and even then I'm under the impression Totheark got a hold of it, messed around with it, and is not only showing Jay that Alex is in danger and is still on the run, but also that he still knows where he is.
Concerning the tape and the Blond- I think that because she watched the tape, saw SM, saw the distortions and such, that it summoned SM to Alex's new life.
And as far as the new masked guy goes.. I think it might be Seth or Brian, namely because they have such small roles, and this would reel them in to justify even mentioning them in the first place. I'm leaning towards Seth because he had direct contact with SM, and perhaps is under the same spell. Brian is more connected to Tim though, who (again) I firmly believe is Totheark/Masky.

Wow... Long post is long. Anyhow- Just some food for thought, and figured I'd post some stuff up- join the game. If anything I said here is old, or so out of left field that it doesn't even make sense, apologies all around.

 		So someone showed me this:

A happy coincidence, of course (or possible editing by a fan of MH), but still pretty cool and worth mentioning.

somewhat into his discussion he goes on to say this

Quote:

 		Masky? I think he's creator approved (or at least the Slender Man page was), but they wouldn't leak things so blatantly, would they?

Probably not a hint for the upcoming series, if only because Masky is usually so goofy and not canon. But oh, that would be nice!

ya i thought that he was creator aproved as well, which is why i brought it up, but after reading the q&a sessions, it seems as though it may not be.

also, even if it is just twitter posts, i think we would be content.

 		The Slendy is creator-approved, the Masky might be, and the rest of the facebook characters are definitely not. But none of them are canon in any way. It's just goofy fan-crack, don't go looking for clues there!

 		Yes, I believe that June hint is related to Slender Man's birthday massacre (event on facebook) It's June 10th. Sorry to dispel any hopes there. My bet is it'll be another month or two til we see anything new... sadly. D:
