Entry #26 - The mysterious tape

[xxxblindxxx]

well i think the person in the hall has already been said to be alex. i know i said it, it definitely looks like him. i dont see why they would involve another female character besides the blonde, since this one had brunette hair. but the hair looks like alex's from behind. the masked person, i dont think is the blonde haired girl. im not sure if thats hair on the top. it needs to be looked at closer.

[Dray]

Again, this should be merged with the Entry #26 thread!

I don't think that the clip of Alex is them looking at papers, I think that we're seeing a partially tiled wall, instead.

The framing of the skull mask is confusing to me. A peep hole? A pipe?
_{(I don't know but I want that mask, now! XD grabby hands )}

I'm failing to see a figure in the dark hallway with the bright lights at the end, unfortunately, unless Slender Man is crawling on all fours! I also think that the person is Sarah, given that when the light flashes more brightly, the hair seems quite a bit longer than when we only see them in the dark. On the other hand, those shoulders are pretty wide for a gal...

The high contrast video bits were interesting if only because they looked like an MS Paint sequence! Heh.

The girl was not unnamed, Alex calls her by the name Amy when he tells her to run.

SkullMasky doesn't have blonde hair. That's just the background of the room he/she/it is standing in.

[Deimos]

Blue is right. The distortion is the same colour as the area around the hole(?) which makes me think its just distorted background while maskys hair can be seen just above the mask, which seems larger then the usual one. The mask is either a prototype mask like others have suggested or as i believe its maskys "serious" face as a physical way of masky/tim showing Jay that the game is over

I actually think this should stay as a seperate thread - allowing the discussion to stay on the live action footage from later in the entry, and keeping this focused on the confusing images at the start.

I havent had a proper chance to take a look at the images from the entry yet, but it seems awfully strange to introduce a whole new character (blonde/blondemasky!) so late on - so I figure there's life in Marble Hornets yet and we'll hopefully see a lot of story progression from here.

The images of the figure moving through the darkened hallway. I see this as Sarah, the hair is dark and I think it is either tucked in her hoodie or draped over the front, as you say - the figure is feminine in shape. It would be a nice reaction to the communities confusion as to what happened to Sarah (maybe its just the MH crew saying "hey, don't worry about her - Slendy got her - forget about it!").

As for the rest, I dunno, I'm going to have to wait till Friday to take a proper look. Can't wait!

Most of you seem to think that the color around the "mask" is the background. I think that it is all the mask. The "mask" part looks to me to be painted on to a burlap sack or something. I think the crew want to make skullmasky harder to figure out since we discovered that masky was Tim just by his hair.

[BranRainey]

If the crew really didn't want us to connect dots between Tim and Masky, they wouldn't have had them wearing the same jackets. Confirming the link between them was almost the whole point of Entry #20, imo.

I think that the frame of skully is a circular mirror on a wall (remember The Ring video? The woman brushing her hair?)

Holy threadmancy Batman... I hope this is less of an annoying way of putting an idea out there than starting a new thread, since this one is here already. It was the TTA identity thread that got me thinking about this, but my point is a little broader than "skully".


Basically, we have a very fast sequence of clips on a tape:

1: A shot from inside a car driving along
2: Alex looking around somewhere dark, using a torch
3: A masked figure appears (there's a suggestion above that it looks like it was shot in a mirror, which seems a reasonable suggestion)
4: Someone walking to the end of a corridor - possible Operator at the end
5: Ruined, high contrast footage / distortion

This sequence seems somewhat similar to Jay's experience. MH's intro with the driving footage, all the torchlit forrays into the unknown, Masky, then a close encounter in a basement.

Perhaps I'm reading too far into this, but is this similarity coincidence? As others have said, it seems strange that this montage would be where it is, if the last tape of Alex (prior to Amy pointing the camera at him) is from his speech in #22. Might this be an deliberate creation, perhaps as a message to Jay - "this has all happened before"? If not, what's this stuff doing on a tape that Alex said he'd burn? Maybe its there as a reminder - like a 6-second recap. Highlights that Alex kept, perhaps as proof if he ever needed it that he wasn't crazy?

Anyhow, just something that had occured to me. Discount at will...!

I think this thread is perfect for the discussion of Skully and everything in the 26 video. Good on you, Argorok.

I'm in the "Skully is another mask and he'll be important later" camp.
