I binged this tonight and I really enjoy it. Some of the later entries have left me creeped out by slendy again- and some of the earlier slender-stuffs have some interesting things going down.

I was going to go start this but then I saw that the second video was uploaded before the first video and I got distressed.
I'll work up my nerve and get to it eventually...

I'll be honest. I was doing good until my fluorescent lamp flickered and died. I shouted "NOPE!" lunged out of my chair towards the light switch for the ceiling lamp. xD

They built up tension really well in this series, and the starter vids before shit goes down are hilarious. It was harrowing for me when they got lost in the woods and kept looping around like that, and Slendy hadn't even shown up yet. I got the impression he was really toying with them, playing around with keeping them lost and stuck and watching them slowly dissolve each other as they went along... just... brr.
Spoiler:
Question, what was up with "Slenderwoman" there in video 18? I mean it's okay if they can pull it off and make it work well, but really?
Edit: Whoops, messed up the spoiler tag for a second there AND somehow got two of the same post, but I fixed it now. ^^

I think the execution is pretty great. If it were to be compiled into a movie, it would be one that kept interest by having great characters rather than trying to hook you solely on the mystery and terror. Which are good hooks - but not entirely on their own.

Word Of God states that slenderwoman isnt the official title so you can get that out of your noggin
Frankly, I love it anyway.

Oh it's not that Mashuga. It's the fact that by implying there's a Slenderwoman, that automatically means Slendy is actually genetically male. And since when does an eldritch thing actually have a gender? I'm sure as Hell not getting close enough to find out because I like having my organs inside of my body and not plastic garbage bags.

Well, not necessarily. Some organisms who are genetically hermaphroditic have been known to find mates.

Besides, what's one more tentacle when Slendy already has so many? ;P

We definitely should stop.
Spoiler:
talking about it
I'll throw this back on topic.
This series has me genuinely in disbelief. From what I see it has one major inconsistancy.
Spoiler:
If the camera, as established in the forest video, shows the truth, how could zach have possibly been recorded dead and then subsequently recorded alive?
Though I am expecting an answer from this that will likely blow my mind. It just seems like too big of a detail to skip over.

I was wondering the same. I'm also wondering who is actually uploading the videos, because I have the inexplicable feeling that it's some outside party doing it. I dunno, something just seems odd about it. I'm probably just crazy.

Hm over at unfiction I wondered if maybe we have multiple universes overlapping right here. One where Kaylee is slendy's target out of the group of friends- and another where Zach is- and maybe another where neither are experiencing slenderbeing related activity at all in the middle.
This could be backed up by how during Entry 8, the camera was recording very different things from what everyone else was perceiving. Maybe they were gazing into a slightly different reality at times?
whatever it is- it's definitely not an oversight. it's nearly impossible to forget a primary protagonist being dead and it's a far better series than that. Saying otherwise is actually vaguely insulting
And yes, Ive felt that its been uploaded from an external force as well- though kaylee has referenced the channel herself.

The oversight wouldn't be the death. I think you misunderstood my post.

Huh, multiple realities you say? :3 That actually would be an interesting concept, to have two concurrent universes in one series...

^ Maybe. Though pullling it off in a way that makes sense and doesn't lose immersion could be difficult. I'd love to see it though just because I'm not sure its been done before. Definitely something that could be different and get me interested.

Immersion in the slenderverse has been dead for years. If you care about that card you're going to have a bad time.
