We don't see the Operator stalking children of course. We also don't see tentacles. The Operator is not Slenderman as is well known. However it is based on/inspired by Slenderman and shows much of the same behaviour, so it is reasonable to assume that for whatever reason both choose children as victims. The Operator did not find children as we have seen, instead it found teens reliving childhood memories (in the MH movie) and would normally have not bothered with them, except for the fact Alex caught it on camera multiple times.

All I'm saying is that the Marble Hornets movie, the story, the script, whatever you want to call it is not irrelevant, it fits in with the whole Slenderman mythos.

Although I already talked about my questions about why the operator is acting in a different thread, it is a bit of a stretch to say, "Alex saw a person on his camera and so started investigating."

WARNING major speculation incoming:

We know the Slenderman has some relation to children, but even in the "cannon" mythos it was unclear what this was. Did he torture them? Eat them? Kidnap them only to leave them behind scarred? Replace them with changelings? My theory is that Alex, as well as possibly some of the other people in Marble Hornets were taken as children and Alex sub-consciously chose to film his movie, about finding your childhood home is no longer how you remember it, near the slenderman's hideout (the place with all the blood). This could account for the operator re-targeting an older audience.
