THIS GETS SO TL;DR
fffffffuck Marble Hornets ;; I saw a secret about Slender Man on f!s and like a twat I had to google it, and I WALKED INTO IT KNOWING it was completely fake and created by the internet, and yet now I'm terrified to look out my back door into the woods, or pretty much look out any window at night.
And then I found Marble Hornets, and I watched Entry #13 first for some reason, and after screaming like a child, I convinced my friend to watch all of them with me. We caught up to it about two weeks ago, so now we're along for the ride. I'm waiting for her to sign onto AIM right now so we can watch Entry #19.5 together. I have a feeling it's going to end soon though D:
I'm pretty hard to scare overa—okay that's a lie, I'm a pussy, especially when alone and in the dark. This somehow hits home with me because I (now) live in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a forest on all sides, and I had a bad experience as a kid where a drunk guy tried to climb through my bedroom window, and another where another drunk guy just stood in my driveway (which I could see from my window in that house) for half an hour not doing anything. So, anything involving scary things popping up in front of windows/doors just terrifies me.
In short, YES, it scares the fuck out of me. It's got a familiar yet new kind of shock value to it, and I watch every single video with my hands at my face, ready to hide from Slender Man or Masky. Entry #19? I shrieked.
I'm so in love with ARGs, though (and would love to find more like MH or DH if anyone knows any). Did you follow Dionaea House?
