So was Shaun snatched in the end?



edit: and has Michael had problems in the past with spelling?

[ZomgShaylex]

Any theories as to why the video title is misspelled? It could just be an error, but I figured I'd point it out.

Anyways, I'm LOVING this series. The whispering is very effective; gave me chill bumps. Glad to see that Shaun hasn't given up hope on his brother.

Can't hear anything from the whispers it seems fairly forceful at the end though.

I wonder why he looks over his right shoulder when the whispers are clearly coming from his left.

Is he just guessing about Slender Man or does he know he is going to hurt Michael? I think Shaun is hiding things from us now.

Hi! I've been reading this thread as an unregistered since I came across this series, I think you guys are so funny and perceptive. I thought I'd join the fun

[dfw]

eeehh?
The video title doesn't look misspelled to me guys o_O;;
EDIT: NONJAD.

also, I tried messing around with the whispers, though I am not knowledgeable at all with cleaning up audio files so I didn't get very far.
Reversed though, it sounds to me like the whispering is saying "I hate how.." then I can't make out the rest of the whispers.

I could be totally wrong, I dunno XD
If anyone wants I could attach the audio file that I enhanced.

Kinda reminds me of the whispers at the end of VJ #3

Holy balls, this series is terrifying again. I like how they can go from horrifying Slendy antics in an alley to goofy April Fools stuff to scary again in the space of three videos.

Thoughts:

I find it EXTREMELY interesting that Shaun could not get in touch with Michael short of going up and physically leaving a tape/USB stick/whatever at his house - and even then, I think it's interesting that he did it whilst Michael was out. (Perhaps something horrible would have happened if he had tried to confront Michael in person?)

It'd be interesting to see if Michael is being cut off from outside contact in general, or Tim specifically. So I say we need to try and get in touch with Michael. I'm pretty sure he hasn't given us a phone number, but anyone who has an e-mail address for him should try it. Likewise, anyone who has previously had a reply from him to a YouTube PM should give it a try and see if he replies. In particular, ask him if he's had any PMs from Shaun. It could be that Shaun can't even get to the YouTube page; the distortion seems to have perfectly placed to make the specific nature of his failure to contact Shaun through YouTube undefined.

And if we can still talk to Michael, perhaps it's worth experimenting: does Michael only respond to messages which buy into the idea that Slendy is real, or does he also respond to messages which say Slender Man isn't real and urge him to forget about him? This, I think, might be a key point. Maybe we're only able to contact Mike if we're saying things Slendy wants Mike to hear? That'd be a wicked cool way to make the audience feel complicit in a series - by watching his videos and talking to him as if Slendy is real, we're making it worse.

Just felt I'd add this, but does it seem like this message is actually cut together to anyone else? Jump to 40 seconds in and watch his jaw moving as he says "Wants to hurt you". Listen to how it slightly skips when he says "you". I've noticed a few more instances of this in the video.

The video's already full of skipping and distortion, I think Slenderman wanted him to contact Michael via video so he could edit it and make Shaun say whatever he wanted him to.
