%%* DaylightHorror: Of course.

* MissingEpisode: Several. And they aren't so much missing as they are [[spoiler: stolen]].

It may be of note that this project places just as much importance on the blog side of things as it does on the videos. Since there are [[spoiler: two protagonists]] the story seems to be divvied up between the two according to the medium. [[spoiler: Whereas Marc has the most importance in the videos, Eric has (most of) the spotlight in the blogs.]]

And now it appears to have come to an end. The youtube channel has recently been taken down by the creators, as has the blog

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Eric considers himself one.
* ActionSurvivor: Both Marc and Eric.
* AlienGeometries: Par for the course when it comes to Slenderblogs these days.
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent
* [[ApocalypticLog Apocalyptic Blog]]: Marc's blog might be turning this way.
* {{Backstory}}: Given on the blog and in the Intro video.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Three guesses. The first two don't count. And no prizes.
* BehindTheBlack
* BeingWatched: Marc never says he feels like he's being watched but it's implied when he starts [[spoiler: taping himself at night]] and then it is [[spoiler: immediately confirmed]].
* TheBlank: Subverted. This Slender Man only appears this way [[spoiler: in person]] but looks [[spoiler: human]] on video.
* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive
* CharacterBlog: The whole thing.
* ChekhovsGun: Marc showcasing his stereo in his first video doesn't seem so pointless now, does it?
* {{Crossover}}: Roy from That Tall Stalker Dude posts regularly. [[spoiler: Even from beyond the grave.]]
** But not to the point that one needs to follow other blogs in order to keep up.
** [[Literature/JohnDiesAtTheEnd Soy Sauce]](?).
* CuriosityKilledTheCast: Marc starts off really interested in these weird, almost-but-not-quite posters from around town.
* DaylightHorror: Of course.

* [[spoiler: DemonicPossession]]

* DoNotGoGentle
* EnRouteSumUp: Marc seems to be attempting it.
* FailedASpotCheck: C'mon Marc, make sure to look completely around the corner next time!
* FakeMemories
* FollowTheLeader: There are more than a couple homages to [[WebVideo/MarbleHornets a rather well known Slenderblog]].
* FreezeFrameBonus: Attempted.
* {{Geek}}: Marc mentions a fairly substantial comic book collection. And Eric's blog was originally a comic book review site.
* GenreBlindness: In spite of what starts happening, Marc doesn't tell anyone what's happening. [[WhatAnIdiot Not even his parents]].
** [[spoiler: It gets worse when he returns to the blog, writing off anything in the videos as a delusion/hallucination.]]
* HalfwayPlotSwitch: As of May 14th, this appears to have occurred.
* {{Homage}}: The whole thing appears to be one for WebVideo/MarbleHornets.
* HopeSpot: Eric has stopped looking into Marc's disappearance for the time being and is enjoying a break free of his prior coughing and cold spells. But it's only a matter of time before he looks at that [[SchmuckBait last video...]]
** [[spoiler: He did.]]
* IdiotBall: Marc is definitely holding it. Eric is too. It seems like the two of them are playing a friendly game of catch with it.
* [[IdiotHero Idiot Heroes]]
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: [[spoiler: Eric complains about it in his blog...]]
* TheInsomniac: Marc seems to have some slight trouble sleeping. [[spoiler: Eric, too.]]
* ItsPersonal: It's been that way from the beginning for Eric.
* JewishAndNerdy: Marc.
* JigsawPuzzlePlot
* JumpCut: Used occasionally.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia
* LateToTheTragedy: Much like [[WebVideo/MarbleHornets Jay]], Eric got his hands on these videos a while after they were made.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The usual audio and visual distortion.
* MindScrew: Is starting to enter this territory.
* {{Minimalism}}: The people making this are teenagers. So this is as much a design choice as it is a necessity.

* NoFourthWall: Eric has no problem interacting with people that follow his blog online. And Marc doesn't either. In fact, several plot developments have been spurred along by commenter's.
* NoPeripheralVision
* NonActionGuy

* OffscreenTeleportation: [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos You know who.]]

* RoomFullOfCrazy: Marc's room is a bit of a mess.
* RuleOfScary: It's attempted.
* ScrapbookStory
* SeekerArchetype: Marc and Eric.

* OneOfUs: Marc and Eric are avid comic book readers.

** [[JohnDiesAtTheEnd Soy Sauce]](?).

So Eric has been posting the videos for a bit but he's noticed something odd. Like a certain [[SlendermanMythos well dressed gentleman]] in the background of the videos. Now Eric isn't actually too sure about what was going on with his friend during his last days in town so he starts blogging about it and trying to find out what really happened.

* {{Non-Action Guy}}

* ShoutOut: A worn down copy of a GhostRider comic becomes a plot point. It's not surprising considering the two leads are comic book fans but there are certain parallels between the plot of the series and Ghost Rider that Eric points out.

[[ItGetsWorse He does.]]

* HoYay: Marc and Eric are the kind of guys that will [[spoiler: sell their souls for each other]]. Repeatedly.

* {{Narm}}
* NoFourthWall: Eric has no problem interacting with people that follow his blog online. And Marc doesn't either. In fact, several plot developments have been spurred along by commenters.

Now he has an idea. Eric has re-purposed his blog as a means to reach out to his old friend. He's even using his {{Youtube}} account to post the videos Marc made in the hope that they find their way back to him.

* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: Marc and Eric seem to have fallen into a cycle of deals with the Slender Man where they keep giving themselves over to him for possession in order to save the other.]] Marc has taken measures to try and break this cycle.
