Also, the phrase: "Smile for the camera" has appeared a number of times, and the Warning video ends with the phrase: "Smile for death", clearly suggesting that cameras are dangerous and significant.

Am I one of the only people who think the image of Skull is insignificant?

Regarding the chest cam being a direct link to the spotting of a skull-faced mask in #26, I don't think that we can necessarily connect the two; remember that this tape was found before the seven month lapse in Jay's memory even began, and there was other footage of Alex exploring that I think sets the tape as having been while Alex was in his investigative phase, before he cut loose and ran.

I think that rather than connecting hotels, it potentially connects either Alex and the chest-cam, or the chest-cam to whomever was with Alex to film his investigations. (This could mean Seth, Brian, Tim or Sarah, of course.) So I think that if we're going to make any connections, I feel the more likely one is that Jay was in contact with one or more of the MH cast to have picked the chest-cam up, rather than that there was time-warping. It also means that at that time someone was acting as a TTA to Alex or another member of the crew, which seems appropriate given that Jay is in a similar place. (So, basically, what JKat said! XD)

^I mean that there is less content about Skull than there is of the bullet casing found in The House.

People are jumping all over ideas of who Skull is, including "Skull is the new Mask." Mask was introduced by actually interacting with Jay (tackling the crap out him!), which I think is huge as far as significance to the story, not to mention that Mask appears in several videos. It just seems weird that there be so much discussion over a simple image that hasn't even reoccurred yet. It seems fitting that there is theorization concerning Jessica because she has appeared in two videos, making it unlikely to be a random encounter. To me, even the white doll in The House is more outstanding than Skull.

Right now, it appears it was just a random, freaky image much like the sinking of the Arizona.

Hmm, you do have a point, though I feel that it's missing the spirit of the forum: everything here tends to be dwelt upon to a point that it's really too much, unless you're a newbie who hasn't been brought up to speed.

In terms of relevance to the rest of the series, I agree that it's not especially significant, though it holds a special importance in terms that that was definitely someone wearing a mask, and it was similar enough to the one we see attacking Jay that it could mean that that person (or someone like them) was causing Jay, or the person holding the camera, grief. It's more interesting than a bullet casing or a case of pills because it's potentially a character, not just a prop!

A bit of Tetraphobia?

I was creeped out by all the 4's as soon as I saw the timestamp! Whether or not that means Alex is dead, though, I'm not sure. If he's dead, who do you think sent the tape? TTA possibly?

First post--Discovered this 'arg' a few weeks ago and have watched every entry and read hundreds of posts both here and at SA.I have not seen this mentioned before,so I thought I'd point it out.
On entry #26 at exactly 3:45,Alex says "WE"...as in the whole sentence being "when WE moved" referring to he and she.My question is,assuming he meant HE and SHE,is when did this move take place and furthermore,what does that say about THEIR timeline and when they met and how long they've been involved?
Perhaps the actors/writers made a script mistake and overlooked this pronoun but it seems like a HUGE deal and I'm actually stunned that with all the minutiae discussed in this forum,that no one caught that.
Thoughts?
