Was the tie black or am i crazy. My buddy pointed it out and has a hairbrained theory on the matter.
I need a second opinion

Tough to say whether it's red or black from here, though one might lean towards black based on the similarity of the tie and the suit color in the distortion.

Well considering this has been the only video so far where Michael seems terrified of Slenderman, and him yelling, "that's not right" the moment he spots Spenderman, there has to be something different about him this time around. I am not sure about the tie, it's a bit hard to tell, but if it is indeed black, that cannot simply be by accident.

The first time, over the fence it is really hard to tell. But at the end it looks black... Dunno

I just thought of this. Why is it this particular alley that Michael takes Eric to? In the beginning, he says they used to live around there, but that was it. Obviously, Eric didn't know the area well, and Michael knew the area a bit, but he hadn't been there in a while. I don't know why I thought of this, but now I'm a bit curious on why Michael took Eric to that specific alley.

Also, watching the video again, I think one of the things that creeps me out the most about this video is the fact that Michael is scared. In none of the videos so far has he been scared of Slendy. He's mentioned anxiety issues, he's mentioned being afraid. But we never actually see him acting afraid because Slendy is there, and now he is. That in itself is freaky as hell to me.

theory that's possibly already been touched on (Not reading through 300+ posts to find out, sorry) is that there could be multiple Slendies, or that Slendy has changed.

Michael claims "He was different this time", cries "That's not right, that's not right!" As soon as he spots Slenderman. He found a red silk tie in an older video, in this one, Mr. Slim seems to be sporting a black one..

Michael acts terrified by him even though he's seen Slendy to the point of being actually touched by him in the past, and not batted an eyelash.

It's a minor change, but if the ties are different, they could be very significant. After all, there is an old saying "We can find comfort in what is familiar, even a familiar nightmare" - Michael had seen Slendy quite a few times up till now, so maybe his terror in this video is not about simply seeing Slenderman, but it's about the familiar becoming unfamiliar. A small but significant change to his own personal world that makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Hey, could all just be empty speculation, but why else do we talk on these forums? Aside from debating who is the cutest protagonist, obviously.

I like this idea. Alot. When you become used to something, its less scary because you know what to expect. Slenderman seemed more aggressive in this video. It wasn't really shown, but something about his stance looking over the fence made it seem that way.

Noticed this too. In the old videos he seems almost welcoming and friendly, albeit in a terrifying and creepy way. But the whole laying his hand on Michael's shoulder and standing by him impassivly? It's almost like he was acting as a protector and friend to the guy.

Then he shows up alll hunched and menecing in this video and scares poor Michael shitless.

Going with either multiple Slendies, or a tempermental Slendy, either works well and is a nice little twist on the mythos.

My personal theory is that this is the alley he's been seeing in his reoccurring dream...? (and on that note, did anyone else notice Slenders really resembled a clock in the last couple seconds?)

Another theory, mostly just riffing off of what other people have said: if Slenderman is a projection of Michael's, what if he's starting to break away from the boy's subconscious to become a self-sustaining nightmare, one that is decidedly less benevolent to its creator? If Michael sensed the change (and if this is actually the case, and the ties being different are symbolic, then I think that was really clever), then maybe that was why he was freaked out so badly.

Additionally, I'm surprised Michael's pants haven't caught on fire from being such a liar.

What if Michael's Slendy and the Slendy we saw are two different entities. Imagine the awesome of two Slendy's going at each other.

I didn't get the impression that Michael saying "That's not right, That's not right" was directed to Slenderman.

Micheal says "You're hear because I need to show you something."
Eric says something that sounds like "That's not right. Fuck you Michael."
Michael then says "That's not right. That's not right."

Michael seems to be very upset at that moment, but more toward Eric and not about anything to do with Slenderman. In fact if anything it seems like he doesn't even notice him. I know he's obvious, but it wouldn't be the first time a Slendy Vlog character didn't notice an obvious Slendy appearance. If he did notice him wouldn't he say something like "Eric turn around, do you see that?"

Even later I wouldn't really describe him as afraid. Through the distortion you hear him say "Eric we've got to go, we can't stay here, Eric let's go", but I wouldn't describe the tone of his voice as panic. At the end he leaves the camera pointed point blank at Slenderman for nearly 10 seconds which also doesn't seem like panic (although possibly frozen).

I'm liking this theory. The multiple slender men theory is a close second.

And that head tilt thing slendy does creeps me out. Not looking out the windows tonight. Nope.

Alright, not saying that I'm on the same page as you.... yet, but after Michael says 'that's not right' to me it looks like he turns to run. What does it look like to you? Something crashes/falls and then someone says 'oh shit', although I can't tell who. And it almost looks like Michael gets up off the ground. So maybe Eric tackled him or something?

And after watching it for the gazillionth time tonight, it looks like right when the camera steadies on Eric and Slendy, Michael starts backing up, and then goes into the 'that's not right'...

ETA: sorry for the double post

ETA #2: Should have put that Michael backing up to me re-enforces the idea that he is reacting to Slendy, not Eric. IMO of course.

I like the most recent developments, and good to see this is still going.
My take on it (probably just regurgitating what someone else has already said - hooray for originality):
All other movie's where we have seen Michael interact with Slendy he has been there more as a watcher, a protector. If you notice Michaels behaviour in these he is either being questioned, or is upset about something - needs protecting and never means harms.
In this movie Michael has taken Eric down an alleyway with the intention of confronting him and trying to get him to see reason, and be on his side.
Maybe because Slenderness is attuned to Michaels feelings, he knew that this was like a confrontation and wouldn't take no for an answer.
So when Eric got all up in his face (love me) Slender was like "nuh uh not today" and BAM - got all supernatural on his ass....

I'll behave now.
