** Has it been confirmed that it was Slender Man he was talking to? I had always thought it was Corenthal.

** It might have something to do with the 'talks' between the two on the Twitter.

* Could someone explain where all this "HABIT is an enemy of Slender Man" theories are coming from? I've never seen HABIT being anything but helpful to Ol' Tall, Bald and Faceless.

** The video "Next" has her making a reappearance. And, well, let's just say...it ain't a happy one.

* What happened to Damsel? It's clear she's still alive, at least, since HABIT mentioned her in ":D", and, since she's preggers with Evan's child, I don't see how they would be planning to kill her off (at least, not just yet). But her blog & twitter are dead, and she hasn't been seen in a vid for ages, soooo ... what's going on?

** Now CandleCove's shown up and Slendy and hell, even the Rake have been a bit OutOfFocus. This is getting to be a bit much for one series to conceivably handle well.

** Wasn't there something like this in the BlairWitchProject? Which might have influenced or inspired the idea. I don't know if that would predate the above, though.

** Now, granted, some or all of that would detract from the whole CosmicHorror tone and everything, but given how resourceful these guys are it would probably be in character to explore the possibility. Even then, a plain old hockey stick or trash can lid wouldn't be that out-of-tone than all the knives.

* Weapons. Okay, so the crew seems to have a little bit of pocket change (not that much, but enough for what I'm thinking). Why don't they invest in some practical or heavy weaponry. Not necessarily guns, that would be a disaster waiting to happen, but c'mon. Consider the Rake, at least. How do you defend against that? Knives will do nothing to keep him from shredding you with his cursed infected claws, even if they ''eventually'' get him to back off or even kill you. Think of it this way--what would you do to defend yourself against a cougar or a bear? Because what they'd be going up against would be about as formidable in a straight fight. Something to keep it at arms reach like a spear (makeshift, probably) or a really heavy and long club sort of thing would be more effective than a knife. Though really, given the close quarters, ambushes, and paranormal surprises they face a ''shield'' of some kind might be more useful. Body armor too, it can't hurt to be paranoid. Ranged weapons would be good if they weren't so dangerous with all the mind-control reality-shifting going on. If they wanted to be really effective, a flamethrower would be good for probing freaky areas quickly (again, walking disaster). These are just some thoughts on, y'know, reasonable precautions. And I do mean ''reasonable''--the shit they're going through is absolutely batshit ridiculously dangerous.

** It is much older. It was one of Tall, Dark, and Scary's modus operandi from the original Something Awful forum. Except he would remove the organs, place each one in a separate bag, then return them to the body in the anatomically correct places. Except for the entrails, sometimes.

*** I'm expecting them to find a video where Jessa said {{Candle Jack}} on camera and-

*** This troper expects one of them to come across an old copy of [[BenDrowned Majora'sMask]] any day now...

* So, i can't tell. is "Dead End With a Pulse" cannon, or was it an April fools joke. because its been a few days and there isn't any mention of it here on the site, even though is usually takes all of about five minutes for it to be updated (which i really love you guys for.)

* Just something that popped into my head while watching DarkHarvest: did the motif of Slendy hanging bags full of people's guts from trees originate in this one, or is it older?

** It sure smells like foreshadowing, but like a lot of the "hidden video" footage, I don't think anyone has any flippin' idea what's going on with it, save for whacked-out theories (which for the time being is the only thing anyone can come up with).

* What's with the underwater clips that keep showing up in the hidden videos? I sorta feel like it's foreshadowing, but still...

** IIRC, Alex was just recording to use for some music. And then when they died, Alex snapped and started using the recordings as the real deal.

* Why would Jeff and Alex even ''have'' that recording of their mother's voice saying mundane phrases in "One Step Forward, Two Steps Back," unless they knew beforehand that she would die and they needed those mundane phrases to be recorded? And why would they record that creepy background noise under her words?

* What happened to the exterminator that disappeared in Alex's room? I mean, I know, obviously, the rake killed him, but you'd think police would be suspicious at least...

*** While I think the series is doing a good job of being unique, I agree that the CreepyPasta buffet is getting to be a bit much. I wouldn't be surprised if they found the Grifter tape at this point.

** Some people think it's genius, considering that the SA thread Slenderman originated from also contained the Rake (on the same page, even, if I remember correctly).

* If the "leaked" videos are canonical, then Slendy is capable of clearly and non-cryptically communicating with people, which makes him a lot less mysterious.
