Marble Hornets

Let me begin by saying this is some really fucked up SHIT!!!!! With that said I've got a lot to cover I'm gonna get technical and add lots of links. Before getting into this I had no clue what was in store and now i (just like Jay) im too far into this to explain EVERYTHING so let me explain what i can and  if you have never seen the series, I apologize in advance for any spoilers but i just spent an ENTIRE DAY AND 1/2 watching and hopefully i can shed some light or hopefully get you into watching for yourself!

Marble Hornets  is a web series following discoveries made while looking through raw footage of a trite student film. 

In 2006, film student Alex Kralie suddenly abandons his movie in the midst of production, swearing to burn the tapes and never speak of it again. Alex's friend Jay rescues the taped material and, years later, Begins reviewing them, only to realize too late that the abandoned film shoot was a Can of Worms and that by digging it up again he may have reawakened sinister forces.

Jay's YouTube account  chronicles material from the tapes and, increasingly, the bizarre and frightening events of his own life. A Twitter page  was added some time later. Since Entry #9, he's noted a guy named 'totheark'  responding to each entry, adding a whole new level to the scary.


Again, this gets a little confusing so im gonna do my best to tell you who all is involved and come of the conections these people have



This guy here is Jay. A college friend of student filmmaker Alex Kralie, and the last person Alex talked to before leaving town. Jay wound up in possession of the raw tapes for Marble Hornets, the original student film, but forgot about them until he read something online that reminded him of them.

This is Tim One of the actors of Marble Hornets. He met up with Jay in Entry #15 to discuss the circumstances surrounding Marble Hornets, but was under the impression that Jay would be continuing the project. Started developing an Illness towards the end of production. Known for his sideburns.

He was revealed to be the Masked Man in Entry #35. As of Entry #53, he seems to have returned to his old self, and has apparently discovered a whole slew of test footage from the Marble Hornets project.

This is Alex. A student filmmaker and friend of Jay. While making his first student film, Marble Hornets, in the summer of 2006, he rapidly grew stressed and paranoid. Eventually he outright dropped the project, due to "unworkable conditions" on the set, despite the fact that the set was largely in or around his home town. He soon after broke off contact with everyone and disappeared.
 Essentially the key plot development. Over the course of the series, we find he's been frequently interacting with the Operator, has lied to Jay, and worst of all, has either killed innocent people or otherwise lead them to their deaths, going all the way back to the filming of Marble Hornets. This culminates in Alex attempting to kill Jay and Jessica for knowing too much. Jay states that his new goal is to find Alex and stop him from hurting anyone else.
Jessica, A girl who stayed in the hotel room next to Jay. Not much is known about her, only that she, like Jay, was a huge victim to amnesia , and disappeared after she revealed it to Jay. Her current whereabouts are unknown. Alex knew more about Jessica And apparently was friends with amy and knew that she went missing, it also
Turns out Alex lied about finding Amy to Jessica so she wouldn't get involved in his problems. Jay, however, didn't realize this, and got Jessica caught up in his investigation, leading Alex to try to kill them both in Entry #52. Then there was her Mind Rape  from the Operator, and later her abduction from the hotel. Yup, Jay well and truly ruined Jessica's life.



Alex's girlfriend, introduced in Entry #26. She was the one who found the camera Alex used during filming, inadvertently summoning the Operator. She has not been seen since.

In season 2, we find out Alex and Amy escaped the Operator's initial appearance, but soon afterwards Alex blacked out and Amy vanished. Since then, Alex has claims to have been looking for her...supposedly . Amy's true status is currently unknown to both Jay and the audience.



Slenderman (a.k.a The Operator):Like you don't already know he is a Tall, Faceless, Creature that has been stalking the cast of Marble Hornets. Alex gradually became aware of it during filming, and went from curiosity to paranoia as it kept appearing. It can appear and disappear seemingly at will, covering great distances in an eyeblink when unobserved. Recordings of him are subject to Heavy distortions, while people suffer anything from coughing fits to complete mental blackouts (and those might be the lucky ones). Oh, and buildings associated with him develop ability to BREAK THE LAW OF PHYSICS just to confirm his contempt for natural laws.



A masked person that first appeared in entry #18, who follows and stalks Jay. Has since been revealed to be Tim, and had his leg broken by Alex. This didn't stop him attacking Alex later, and chasing Jay out of the hotel after Jessica vanished. He has some connection to the Operator, but whether he's working for or against him is as unclear, as is everything else about the two of them.

Originally, he was heavily implied to be totheark. However, certain events imply adifferent masked person is totheark. Jay (As well as many fans) believe there are multiple users of the totheark channel, meaning he may be merely be one of them. The details have not been made entirely clear yet.







Ok now if i haven't lost you yet along with the Marble Hornets "Entries" there is the totheark videos that go along with the series.  totheark  is the name of both the YouTube channel where video replies to The Entries are posted and the assumed name for the person(s) behind the account. The videos are thought to contain the missing or distorted audio to The Entries, as well as strings of text or symbols of unexplained origins and significance. Neither the identity of 
totheark nor whether it is an individual or group has been revealed.

totheark first appeared when he posted his regards as a reply to Entry 9. Little was known from this at the time, however, as it seemed a very difficult code to crack. The Regards video was a series of flashing boxes of slashes ending in CLOSELY written strangely set to distorted audio which has not been placed concretely.

totheark returned when he uploaded his Operator Video and set it as a response to Entry 10. This one seemed to be a little more obvious in its message to LISTEN.

He returned a third time shortly after Entry 11 was uploaded, posting Deluge.

When Jay posted Entry 12, he twittered that he was expecting a response from totheark, and totheark did not disappoint. Only two days later, totheark's impurityappeared online.

The way that Marble Hornets progresses in entries is also suspenseful, sometimes you get a small chunk of story other times your are given almost w whole epic. The story is still being updated, and each new entry has a cliffhanger ending, leaving you on the edge of your seat and wishing for more.

I find it fun to try to piece together the videos and speculate about how the series might end and who the mysterious Slenderman might be. Sometimes, a new entry brings with it something totally different than my expectations and surprises you.

I enjoy Marble Hornets because not only does it have a lingering creepy feeling. Every moment of an entry leaves you clinging to your chair, expecting Slenderman to appear and scare the living daylights out of you.

If you are a person who likes horror, suspense, and twisting plots, I highly recommend Marble Hornets. the worst part tho is you will always be cautiously looking out windows and around corners for fear of the mysterious Slenderman.(I myself finding it hard to ever get scared is completly fighted by the thought that he is always around watching me "he scares me worse than God and im an Athiest!")
