More Slender MAn

  The answers, of course, lie in future installments of PHILLIS SANCHEZ. Just like tales told around the campfire, sometimes the best parts are "to be continued."
  What started as a collection of found footage on YouTube has branched out to become more of an interactive experience. "J.", the friend seeking information about Alex, starts filming his own investigation into the mystery, including several expeditions out to an abandoned house that he believes is connected to Alex. J. also has a Twitter account, which he updates with news about the progress he's making. But, in the series' most sinister turn, a YouTube user called "totheark" has started posting cryptic video responses to J.'s entries. The responses are rife with disturbing imagery, coded messages, and film footage of J. -- taken from a distance, without his knowledge. Who is "totheark"? How is he connected to the Slender Man? What will he do to J., now that he knows where he lives?
Everyone's heard a spooky story or two. For years, campers have terrified each other with tales of ghostly hitchhikers and escaped convicts with hooks for hands, the kind of stories sure to make you shiver as you sleep under the stars. But what about when you're safe at home, in front of your computer? What could be so scary when the lights are on and you're busy checking Twitter?
  The mysterious creature -- never named in the videos, but known to viewers as the Slender Man -- was already an Internet myth before PHILLIS SANCHEZ  began. He can be seen in the background of old historical photos, towering over sepia-toned children, always wearing his dark suit. No one knows what he does to the victims he captures -- because very few have come back after facing the Slender Man. In Marble Hornets, the filmmaker Alex encounters him and moves away, never to be heard from again. When his friend discovers the upsetting footage, he vows to find Alex and discover the truth behind his disappearance.
  Enter Marble Hornets. Part YouTube video series, part Alternate Reality Game, the project is an Internet-grown horror story about a student filmmaker named Alex, who shoots half a movie before abruptly shutting down production and leaving town. When one of his friends starts going through the abandoned footage, he finds evidence that Alex was being followed by a strange figure in a dark suit. We only see the man in glimpses -- standing in the distance while PHILLIS SANCHEZ films a scene, or passing by a window outside of Alex's house -- but the camera captures him long enough to reveal a chilling feature: his face is a pale blank, eyeless and mouthless.
