 HELLLLPPP MEEEE
Tell me what all I need to know !

Okay, so I just caught up with all the entries (plus totheark videos) of Marble Hornets. I would love it if somebody could just tell me more. Things I should know about it that I wouldn't get from the videos or things that aren't just obvious! Gahh I'm like freaking out. Shocked Shocked Can't sleep! Thanks for all that help. Random facts are great Smile

It might help to read the wiki: http://marblehornets.wikidot.com/

Ok, first check the wiki that Lytrigian posted. It has all the TTA videos in order and also gives brief summaries of entries, along with theories/speculation. Helpful stuff.

You'll also want to check Jay's Twitter, particularly the tweets from when he explored the Red Tower, between entries 52-53, and during the 'hospital arc' in season 3. While Jay never tweeted anything vital it did add to the story some.

Now off the top of my head...
The bullet casing in Brian's House was foreshadowing that somebody was trigger-happy.
For that matter, TTA's original hangout being Brian's house is hilariously obvious foreshadowing in hindsight.
Entry 14 (I think) was actually backwards. As in, it was filmed over so the second half of the entry actually happened first.
Note that 23 had time warping just like in 72.
In the 'Hoody Hut', if you look closely, you can see the baby doll from that really creepy TTA video.
Oh yeah, and Jay's knife from season 1 is the knife Tim used in 86. Way awesome detail there.

The only supplementary information would come from twitter, but even that doesn't expand on much. The series is pretty straightforward and is primarily contained within the entries themselves. If you're looking for a Slenderman series with a big ol' expanded universe, Everymanhybrid, Tribetwelve, DarkHarvest, and MLAndersen0 have that, and are interconnected.

With Marble Hornets, what you see is pretty much what you get. The characters only have a slightly better grasp on what's happening around them than the viewers do. Normal dudes in a supernatural situation where, aside from arbitrarily deciding they need to fight each other, they're pretty much powerless to save themselves.

There are no "hidden" sources of information. The only official components of Marble Hornets are the YouTube channels and the Twitter account. There is a lot of speculation to be found on this forum and some of it has been recorded on the wiki.

They never confirmed the house from season 1 is Brian's house. Despite how it may look and how popular the opinion is, it is not fact.

Also, 23 did not have time warping. It had time dilation. There's a big difference.

He travelled forward in time at an unnatural speed. Both "warp" and "dilate", taken at their definitions, accurately describe what happened in entry 23. Also, the fact that Alex called the house "Brian's house" during the summer of 06 before everyone had completely lost their marbles leads me to believe that is, or at least was, Brian's house.

Dude, we don't know that it's even the same house. Lots of houses look alike on the inside layout-wise in most towns, and I'd argue we didn't even see enough of the house from entry 20 to even make that distinction. You're assuming it's the same, that is not the same as the trio saying it is factually Brian's house, because they never have and nothing in the series confirms it either. Even if you want to argue they look exactly the same, it could just be that they didn't have enough places to film and didn't think people would notice/care

Well yeah, it's an assumption on my part. I didn't say any different.

I personally find the layout of the Entry #20 house perfectly convincing on it's own, but, it should also be noted that when Jay gets the anonymous tip about the house in Entry #16, it did say that it was "where Brian could be located," and considering the immediately previous totheark video had footage of Brian (Advocate) and the next totheak filmed had totheark filming Jay while in the house (Attention) I think some Brian/totheark forshadowing may have plausibly been involved.

Also, if I remember correctly, people recognized the couch and or painting from Brian's house in the TTA hideout house.

Also. Since 1/2 of TTA is Brian, we have no reason to assume it ISNT Brian's house.

Yeah, all evidence points to it being Brian's house. You can try to say it's not for sure his house but there's very little that would convince me it isn't seeing as every aspect of it, from the anonymous tip to the video in an identical house that was Brian's to the house being TTA's hangout, points to it being Brian's house. Trying to say it isn't his really doesn't give much profundity to the series and it's a pretty stupid argument to get into when you think about it.

Posts like this make me wish there was a rep system on these forums so I could +1 it or something

Also, on the Season 1 DVD, they mention Alex's house in Entry #11 being suddenly different because they moved, and we know that the house they moved into was the house they used for Brian's house. They then go onto to say nobody really noticed, but they wrote the location change into the plot anyway, which probably refers to Alex, in Entry #22, saying "I thought it would be safer here, but everything's just gotten worse. I'm going back to my home, and I'm burning these tapes." Then we presumably see that pan out how it does in 71, which is back at his original house.

So at some point during 2006, Alex moved to another house, which OOG, and probably IG, is the totheark house from Season 1, which is probably Brian's house. That makes sense, because if he was gonna move into a house, it would be Brian's, because Brian disappeared, at least temporarily, after Entry #51, as Alex mentions in 22 ("Brian is gone.") Plus, we find the papers seen in Entry #11 in the house in 16.

Also, it made sense back when we thought that Tim was totheark for the pills to be there, but now that we've seen Entry #73, we know that Brian was stealing Tim's pills. That doesn't really account for Masky's presence in 18 or 23, but presumably there was some sort of 45/61/62/67 Hoody/Masky thing going on.

Honestly, it was never clear to me if Brian was totheark, making the videos, and manipulating Tim's illness to use as brute force, or if Masky has a full enough separate personality to just be plain old allies with Brian, who maybe was also totheark. Season 2 always made it seem more like the second one, Season 3 always made it seem more like the first one, and Season 1 kind seems like both at different points.

So...Brian lives in the town that Alex was originally from, Alex took his house when he disappeared, then he abandoned it & Brian/Tim used it for a while?
