 Seth is Hoody
My evidence for the theory that Hoody's identity is Seth.

Long time reader, first time posting.

After reading many theories on the identity of Hoody - be it Brian, Amy, Jessica, or even Jay in an altered state of consciousness - I think it's clear that the only candidate left is Seth.

Let's begin by what we can glean visually from Hoody's appearance, the clearest view being in Entry 68. By the stature, clothing, and chest, it's safe to say this character is most likely male. Also notice how no long hair falls down to the shoulders after the mask is lifted off.

So this rules out Amy/Jessica/Sarah.
Jay, Tim and Alex have physically run into Hoody, so we can also cancel them out as candidates. This leaves us Brian and Seth.

We get a confirmed kill on Brian (for the most part) as we see his body being dragged away by who we can presume is TO.
But Seth, however, is never seen as being killed. In Entry 22, he falls down with what seems like Slender Sickness and then it cuts to Alex saying that Seth is among those who are "gone" which we know is definitely a lie.

We never get explicit footage regarding his demise, at least not as clear as Brian.

From Entry 22, we can gather that Seth has been Alex's trusted cohort in hunting down TO. But in previous entries, Alex is shown to be a tyrant around Seth. Why would Seth join Alex in a dark dilapidated building after that kind of verbal abuse? Because he is also a TO victim.
Considering Alex's history with censoring information/burning tapes, he is likely keeping this fact close to the chest and his attitude towards Seth was either faked or due to the stress of hiding what they both know in front of their friends.

Also take a look at Seth's build in Entry 54, looks like it could be a match for what we saw in Entry 68. Also consider how Alex talks to Hoody, sound similar to Entry 9?

This is what I managed to gather, I'd love to hear what all of you think and if there's any evidence to expand or break down this theory!

A further piece of evidence could come from Entry 72, when Jay and Tim look over the papers. There are many names crossed out, but Seth's isn't among them. Could this be a subtle clue as to who Seth is? Just speculation as we don't get to see all of the papers, but it is a noteworthy detail.

Analyzing Hoody's build can never lead to solid evidence of identity, because, OOG:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Trosephim have said that Hoody is played by several different stand-in actors at certain times.

Good point, that's very true, but if they ultimately reveal Hoody to be one of the girls, that'll be surprising considering how close we've look at Hoody's midsection.

I REALLY don't think they'd have Alex repeatedly try to punch a girl in the face


My evidence that Seth is hoody parallels what I read someone say on here a while ago. He's the film editor, and would have noticed all this before Alex himself while going through the film. He has b-roll footage, and also knows how to edit videos very well. Plus when Seth is taken, a frowny face appears on the screen. It all fits imo.

good Point,but theres stuff like hairbands that might exist in the MH universe.

So this rules out Amy/Jessica/Sarah.

NOPE

MAYBE..

we can presume he's dragged by Alex,if anything..

But Seth, however, is never seen as being killed. In Entry 22, he falls down with what seems like Slender Sickness and then it cuts to Alex saying that Seth is among those who are "gone" which we know is definitely a lie.

more assumption than lie,and considering alex' state as he was recording this,it might all be a bunch of muttered bullshit..

We never get explicit footage regarding his demise, at least not as clear as Brian.

explaination about this theory please?

i dont think Brian is a regular actor in this series because hes not availabe all of the time,afaik.and they wouldnt call him over from somewhere just to act as a Person with no real identity and face.if you look closely,youll see theres a real skinny hoody and a rather built hoody in appearance,which should give you a hint about how many damns they gave about hoody being just one actor Wink

Brian lives pretty far from them. Tim is the one who always plays hoody, and when it's not him it's Joseph. Troy also clearly played him in 45 and probably in that one recent entry where hoody has the gun to alex's face

I'm guessing Troy played him in 68 as well.

Yet you say seth is because he has been in 1 entry?

Fist lets think about it with the story alone.

Tim and Brian are known to have the same thing happen to them from Alex. Why would Brian not react similarly? They both were "taken out" in that hospital. Thus they both wore a mask thing and began with there schemes.


Now lets think about the way the series has been shot. Midway through season 2, Hoody is introduced. At the end of season 2, we see what happened to Brian. If there is one thing you learn from watching films, its that every unique peice of shooting is significant. Troy wouldn't just throw in the fact that, oh yea, Brian had this whole ordeal happen to him. I think its pretty obvious that Brian was shown to have this situation occur to show that Brian is in fact Hoody

I'm not saying that Brian = Hoody. I'm saying that real-life Brian portrayed Hoody in some entries. Its actually quite obvious if you study the build/walk. Especially that entry where they tailed him through the hospital and found the buried tape. (I don't keep track of entry #s)

I've been a lurker for years now. Finally made an account to respond to your post.

We shouldn't assume Brian is dead just because we saw his body being dragged away. He could have been passed out. We never actually saw him die. In Entry #71, we saw Jay lying motionless in the grass. Did that mean he was dead? No.

And I don't think Hoody is Seth, either. It's clear at this point that he isn't Jay, Tim or Alex. I vote for Brian as Hoody.

Brian is more important to the series than Seth. If Seth is Hoody, his character would have been given more development and screen time. Seth has been in three entries, his screen time adding up to a grand total of 32 seconds. Brian has been in three entries as well, but his screen time exceeds Seth's by a milestone. Some Marble Hornets followers don't even remember who Seth is.

So I think Hoody is far more likely to be Brian than Seth.

Yeah, Hoody in that entry (#66 FWIW) has a definite head-forward posture like Brian, so I agree that in that entry Hoodie is played by Brian the actor.
