ARGs, Marble Hornets= Blair Witch Project (minus the fame).

So, I'm a ARG horror vlogs fan. I just love the whole "this is fucking crazy, let's go investigate that ABANDONED HOUSE OVER THERE it's probably totally safe" atmosphere. I mean, Marble Hornets is possibly the best homemade ARG on the "Slenderman" meme yet. The filming is a little cheesy and predictable at times, but it's redeemed when I remember

I'm usually deeply cynical about creepy/ghost/horror/whatever stories, but... Marble Hornets is playing me like a cheap violin. :(

[whiskerslily]

Yeah, I think it does a fairly good job of drawing people into the story. Also, I love how Lovecraftian it seems to be, too.

Initially, I was like, 'Oh. There's a guy. And he left a mysterious record of something mysterious and then vanished and there are vague allusions to sinister forces blah blah blah how original. *eyeroll*'

But then it got to the parts with the wacky audio and I was already a nervous mess.

[whiskerslily]

Yeah, the audio. When it starts getting static near that red tower thing in the woods . . . Jesus. Also, I'm a complete wuss, so I was already freaked out because of the "anonymous guy standing silently on the front porch" scene. D:
