Which MH season do you prefer?

[Toadbert]

I really liked Season 1 for the quick choppy videos with the obviously lower quality camera. It really felt like 2006 in the videos. But I also enjoy the HQ distortions this season, they look fantastic.

I can only pick one.

I'd have said Season One or Two...

[baseballfuries08]

Can't choose. Every single one is significantly different to the other, so choosing one, for me at least, would be choosen a season by parametres which do not apply to another.

All of them were great. But i must say i felt more scared watching S1, maybe because there werent much explanations and you couldn't know exactly what was going on; the unknown is a huge factor.

Season 1. The size of the videos meant they could be put out more irregularly. You could (conceivably) have several in a day, or a long one after a few weeks. It was also interesting to see the mystery unfold in puzzle pieces and, importantly, The Operator doing stuff, threatening stuff.

That said, it's a bit early to judge Season 3, and there are definitely some great aspects of the other season. In particular, showing what happened when Tim got Operator-napped was, hands down, the best moment in the series thus far.

I'd say season 1 entries 1-14 was the best part of MH. It was fresh, new and mysterious. If the series had ended with the operator walking though the door and Alex bleeding I'd have been satisfied and terrified. What we've seen since then has been great, but I think the tone of MH has shifted a lot and some of the original appeal has been replaced with character development etc. I suppose it's almost impossible to keep the mystery going at the same time as developing the plot.

Season 1 of Marble Hornets was great because it was mysterious, the videos were short and came more frequently, and it was very creepy. I would say that's a good season to look at if you're trying to get people interested.

Some advice I would keep in mind:

- Try to make videos on the shorter side at first. Keeps people interested and is less overwhelming for you to make.

- Make it mysterious, creepy, eerie, etc.

- Try not to copy MH too much. Be original.

- Do not overcomplicate things.


Just a few guidelines. You already have the story written out with characters and all, so that's good.

As awesome and scary as hell as season 1 was, I enjoyed season 2 a bit more. I felt the Operator apperances were much better and I liked the introduction of Hoody, and not to mention the character development, which is why I've enjoyed season 3 like crazy so far.

season 1 really had a feeling that I don't know if anybody can really replicate. It had this solitary feeling, like there really wasn't much of anybody to turn to, everything is so unknown, and everything was just so subtle and creepy. Also being the first season, everybody was pretty new to the whole idea of the operator and slender man, so I don't think any series has been able to recapture the feeling you get when you did first watch a slendervlog of any kind.

I'd still have to say season 1 is my favorite.

This thread is bad. And you should feel bad.

But I like Season 2, as far as complete seasons go.
