Man, a new Marble Hornets and I found out there's a new Ring novel AND film coming out, all in the same night.

Something new with my two favorite horror characters within a span of hours... someone must like me.

A fifth one? I kinda started getting sick at Loop.

I wanna thank everybody who is looking at the little pieces of this entry that this headache is preventing me from noticing.

Only on page seven of this thread, and no one has mentioned this, but at about 2:55, Tim is focusing on this bit of wall, and I can see writing, but can't make out a good portion of it. Could be just random writing on the wall, but I do see the word nurse at the top, and given how Troy edits these together, this is here for a reason.

So does this mean Alex got Seth killed that night, then brian the next day? If so that would explain why Brian say Tim coughing in the corner of the a room in the hospital.

Also I feel like Tim is just hiding his knowledge of everything from Jay, I mean it's not like you see Jay talking to Tim openly about the Operator or anything.

Not as good as it could have been, but still a solid entry. (This entry was rushed because part of the crew was also visiting relatives this week). The appearance by our tall friend was a bit unecessary IMO, but I guess it doesn't really matter. The big problem with this entry is (suprise suprise) Alex, with the rebar, on the third floor. Couldn't they have used something a little more... solid? Like you know... a rock?

Thanks Danyull.

I also see a few other words on here.... interestingly enough, the word "Theta". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta
Go look it up... I'm sure it has been discussed many times before, but from Wikipedia...

According to Porphyry of Tyros, the Egyptians used an X within a circle as a symbol of the soul; In classical Athens, it was used as an abbreviation for the Greek θάνατος (thanatos, "death") and as it vaguely resembles a human skull, theta was used as a warning symbol of death, in the same way that skull and crossbones are used in modern times. It survives on potsherds used by Athenians when voting for the death penalty.

Or the word is "Thete", Greek for serf or menial worker.

I also see the words "See" "Paper" "Will" "This". But the rest is pretty messed up... of course it could mean absolutely nothing, too.

From the top:
- Above the big hole at the top it possibly says "the nurse"

- Bottom center:

Code:

Thete [some symbol] <- the film t??? desi???
etc for us to see. =)
Paper


"Thete" also seems to be attested as a nickname for some fraternity/sorority with Theta in the name. I'm just going to assume the wall writings are real and not MH-made.

Chalk it up to a happy accident, huh? Tim does mention the graffitti an awful lot, though.

I would like to know who's been painting and drawing all these Operator symbols. Surely Jay and the crew have not been the only victims/proxies of the operator.

Another thing I find a bit strange....
Why did Tim leave the camera on when walked off? (very Alex-ish behavior)
I still wouldn't think it odd that Tim indended Alex to be the victim here... "Hey Alex, look at all the graffitti..(operator symbol). Excuse me while I walk away and let the tall guy gobble you up..." After all, in entry 22 Seth looks as if he was taken without being hurt first. And, if this is supposed to be the same basement, it looks like there was already dried blood there, as if sacrifices have already occured.

@pravado: There's no need to post the same thing multiple times in a thread. I'd prefer that you don't.

So, are we assuming Alex isn't really filming? Or is it just one of the "junk" tapes Jay initially dismissed? Does it even matter? Probably not.

As for the alleged figure at 2.00 in the doorway, I do see something. It reminded me of Masky when Jay found him in the house, you know "shit, he's seen me. Run!"

Also Pravado:
I raised the same question in the "Is Jay a Derp?" thread, and the conclusion we came to is that when Alex and Jay first meet up early on, Alex tells Jay to lay low, and Jay, in a moment of genre-savvy intelligence, takes "lay low" to mean "Don't be posting tapes until this is all sorted out for now," so he doesn't.

7 months later, he gets slendered, and season 2, for us, begins.

It made sense for me, and answered that concern. Hope it helped you.

along for the ride

This is my first and I hope it hasn't already been said but, in entry 15 Tim says he was just along for the ride with Brian for Marble Hornets. Could this also mean he is just along for the ride with Brian for TTA?

The dots on the bottom of the screen during this segment (and at the top of the screenshot) looked way more deliberate and clear than other static we've seen in the past. It almost looks like it could be an encoded message or something - maybe a sheet for a music box. The guys are probably just trying out new effects, but this one looked pretty intentional. Anyone else notice this?

I feel like this entry is the birth of Crazy Tim. He was previously experiencing Jay's symptoms (based on his phone conversation in the previous entry). Then Alex wounds him slightly and the Operator shows up. Who knows, the dots at the bottom could be the Operator recoding Tim's brain, and the camera fell so Tim would remember what the Operator did to him. That's all speculation, but this was a very good entry for that sort of thing.

I thought something similar myself - though sheet music for a music box or piano roll makes more sense than what popped into my mind. I was immediately reminded of Computer Punch Cards, but it's too messy for that now that I look at it.

But yes - it's likely just a new distortion they're playing around with.
