Story
This just gives the basic premise: Jay, a former film student, was working on his friend Alex's first feature-length student film, Marble Hornets. (The name is just the first two things Alex saw on signs when trying to think of a title.) Standard pretentious fare about a young adult who left home for college, comes back, and finds that he's outgrown the town. However, during the filming Alex's behavior became more and more erratic, until he cited irreconcilable issues with the set and stopped filming entirely, an oddity because Alex had lived in the area his entire life. Alex intended to burn all of his tapes (the movie being filmed back before SD cards were common and cheap) but Jay urged Alex to give the tapes to him for safe-keeping. Jay flipped through a few and shoved them into a closet, and lost all contact with Alex.
A couple years later, Jay sees a thread about the Slenderman on the SomethingAwful forums, and it reminds him of something on the tapes. Pulling them out, he begins to watch and finds some rather odd stuff. Curious if anyone has any idea about it, he begins to transfer the videos to his computer (a laborous process) and posts them on Youtube for public comment. This causes a chain of events that brings not only him, but also several of the people he knows in big danger.
