If you play the video at 1.27 and look into the wardrobe just before Milo runs like hell......I think I see slendy in the wardrobe..........I could be wrong though.

that is the scariest ceiling fan i have ever seen.

and i'd like to point out that what bothers me the most isn't the acting but the script. every single title card feels fake. "recreational area" instead of park, for instance

Thank gawd for that. I was hoping it wasn't just my eyes trying to see something lol.

Man, these guys do have a pretty good Slenderman costume, I'll give 'em that.

What kind of unsettles me, is how they make him so tall O_O

Honestly, I'm really not feeling this series. Now that the tape has run out hopefully they'll introduce something original. Anything original. I really don't even care how bad the original idea is. Make Slenderman's enemy a unicorn. But it's painful to watch a boring rehash of the same old Marble Hornets. Especially with Milo's annoying hair. And terrible acting skills. Maybe my frustration is increased by the Celtics' inability to make any shots. And Wallace's inability to not get fouls. /basketball rant

You guys see the "Sandeman" poster on the wall right before the sighting in the closet?
A google search shows its a wine, and I think the poster says "port" which would make sense.
Nice add-in.

This is actually pretty disappointing, honestly.

I did like the Slenderman sighting where the camera was upside-down. But, well, ok, my main problem has been brought up before and I did skip the page before this, and possibly the one before that one, but it really does bug me how he keeps going "I dunno why he is so afraid." Well, the fact he never mentions the man bugs me. There I said it. Even with the Weirdness Censor explanation, the fact he can't go "hmm, let me pause right before he freaks out and let me see if I see anything" kind of infuriated me. Especially in #5 and #4 where it is clear what Milo is freaking out about. I guess you could go "Invisible to Normals" rather than "Weirdness Censor", but I still think it would bother me because WE are adding excuses for plot holes and they haven't been weaved in naturally.

Also, the consistency. "I had never seen him so afraid before" followed by "Back then, I didn't think anything of the way Milo was acting", followed, of course, by "What's with the running?" at the beginning of tape 5. These kinds of holes seem more at home in parody than in something supposed to be semi-serious.

I honestly don't want to be this mean, but it just stirs up a Marble Hornet's nest of disbelief.

If it does turn out to be parody though, and in a future video we find Slenderman kicking back with a beer in a recliner at the end, maybe followed by a pan over to a couch occupied by Darkseid (dunno where you'd get a Darkseid costume though), I think I would be less angry.

You might attribute my anger to the fact I just started taking "Dextroamp-Amphet ER" but it's a fairly low dose (10mg) so I'm not sure if those rebuttals concerning how sensitive they may have theoretically made me would be valid.

I have an alternate explanation to the Weirdness Censor, mmhm.

Perhaps, mmhm, it is an ability of Noah to not see Slenderman, mmhm, even when he's on film? Like, say, Mr. Strahm of Seeking Truth couldn't see Slendy at any point until Inside the Labyrinth. This may be the time to repeat my "out of sight, out of mind" explanation: if you are not aware of Slenderman's presence, you can't see him without an aide. But in, mmhm, Noah's case, it's a little harder to get the idea into his "mind," so Slendy stays out of "sight." So his inability to see Slendy stretches even to video, so he just sees what he knows (since he was there) was the background. So he sees through Slendy, because his mental process exudes anti-Slendiness.

Alternatively, he's not watching the tapes before he posts them. I know I wouldn't watch something that I know by heart, moreso if it got me teared up (it is his cousin, after all).

Alternatively alternatively, Noah's a moron.

I would be more willing to believe the latter, but, as for the former, how would he know Milo taped while he was asleep? How would he notice all the interference? How would he edit blind? And if he did know it by heart, why would he be surprised by Milo taking the camera with him? Also, I think he mentions not watching them since he filmed it.

Unreliable narrator? Maybe. Well, definitely, but, I mean, in that he sees all this but is playing dumb for some unknown reason. Like trying to spread an infection such as in Loop, casting him in a more sinister light. Or maybe he's kind of a jerk, and while he sees what happened, is trying to bolster his attention with a me-too attitude (in universe, not calling him out as a MH clone in this statement). Some of these seem more likely than others, but they came to me, so I thought I would share them all.

See, the ultimate problem here is that we don't know. With MH we knew where we stood with J basically going "look, a guy", in the first video, where here it's more vague and frustrating to the viewer. If you frustrate the viewer right out of the gate, they're less likely to stick around for ultimate payoff.

LOL the acting is so terrible. It really should be more natural. It sounds like they are improvising as they go. If your best friend comes to visit wouldn't you walk with him and give a decent goodbye?

On the plus side, I like how they have put slenderman in this. In MH is more placid and is just.....there, being his stalker self. But in this his so more aggresive I guess is how it can be put. He gets up close and personal. And the kind of TTA bit in #6 I think was good. Very creepy. I really hope they can distinguish themselves from MH though, there is a lot of potential there


This struggles severely to keep my interest solely because milo and noah are really boring

New Twitter update:

"Going to Miami for the weekend to clear my head. What I'm finding in the footage is hard to believe. I'm seeing new things on the tape."

Looks like that "Wierdness Censor" theory may hold water...

"I'm seeing new things on the tape. That lady with the fishing pole was laughing at us."

I'm kind of with stickthefigure. Though, if he didn't see anything else on the tape by this point, it would kind of be the end. "Nope, nothing on the tape. Guess it is time for fruit smoothies." or alternatively, he was going to become obsessed with the tape, even though he couldn't see anything, to the point where he WOULD start to see things.
