I suspect that is the case. Maybe TO is eating their bodies, or just simply shoving it into some other extra-dimensional space or some BS like that. We've never seen a living person taken, but that doesn't particularly mean that it can't happen.

Tim got taken through it in entry 65, he even saw the body of the one guy Alex brained but he came out of it so it's safe to say TO can teleport just about anyone, living or dead.

In Season Two we see the Operator teleport Alex out of his bedroom, right after he called Jessica to let her know he "got in touch with Amy."

Fair enough.

Though Tim might also be because he's got that brain chemistry.

That or maybe it's "harder" for The Operator to keep someone living in the slenderverse. Perhaps being in there too long is what gives them the broken/corrupted personalities, as Tim's face started becoming contorted and distorted while in there.

Also going back to what someone said earlier about Jay possibly being the bad guy in all this, I doubt it, but he, along with Alex and Tim have all been behind the camera and both of them were shown to be lying while being narrators (Tim more out of necessity than Alex), and TTA has called Jay out on withholding/omitting information, so while I don't think he'll become the villain, he could be called an unreliable narrator though, like both Tim and Alex and could be hiding something still.

I think you come across as creepy, a bit robotic and 'not quite there'. Dunno, always seemed like an acting choice, especially after seeing the comedy bits.

Same thing I thought. Figured that was how Alex was supposed to be. Is it really bad acting instead? :v:

Why is it pinstripe? Why is it blue? Do any of the popular versions use a blue suit?

Besides, it is just a suit. Why buy a $50 one-size-fits-none cheap fake suit? You can probably rent a suit that actually fits you for about that price. Or put the $50 toward a real suit, you'll need one sooner or later. Or just borrow one from your grandpa.

This is dumb.

For $50, the suit should have extended legs and 2-foot stilts. As it is, that costume would make you look like some kind of genetic mutant. And, obviously, the drat thing should be solid black.

It's probably best to not have tentacles on a halloween costume, rather than have cheap floppy things. It is hard to do tentacles right, and even harder if you are trying to do it out in the real world surrounded by assholes.

You could, but having a gas powered leaf blower strapped to your back to power the thing might make you less welcome at parties.

What are you talking about? All I can see there is:


All you really need for a Slenderman costume is the lycra/spandex head covering and perhaps some white gloves. The rest of the costume can be purchased from any decent thrift shop. I am guessing it will wind up costing you much less than what these costume companies charge, as well.

Tribe Twelve at least has the cool visual effects. The fake freak outs are the worst. If I was confronted with that type of horror I would probably be completely quiet and go curl up in a corner.

To be honest they've all been so long and mediocre that the bar is set pretty low.

Troy made a new blog post. The interesting tidbit for me was confirmation that the last entry was new footage (in real life, not within MH) and not something they had been sitting on for the last 2 years. They were able to get Jessica to come in and do some more shooting. I'd be much more excited about that as ammo for my Jessica == Skimasky theory if the entry hadn't played out the way it did, but oh well. Very cool of her to stay involved with a goofy internet project after all this time.

Really what did it in for me towards Dark Harvest was them explaining their TTA as a Slender Cult. I get it that since MH started everyone needs their own TTA but atleast with the original, there's still an air of mystery in regards to TTA's role within the film's story/world. Dark Harvest instead went "we worship Slender Man as an egyptian god and have all these godawful rites and what not and wear masks cause Marble Hornets did it first." which made me go all :rolleyes:.

Interesting. I thought that was more of a copy of Tribe Twelve's "The Order" than anything in Marble Hornets.
