Think someone had " I am here " or "Come here." someone people.

I think what really freaks me out about TO is the fact that the characters of Marble Hornets rarely acknowledge it's existence. When they do, they keep it short, like calling it "It" or "That thing." It's kind of like they'd rather not think about it. Also, the fact that it looks human, but still really inhuman at the same time is just damn unsettling!

The Operator can find anyone immediately, but doesn't and the mystery of not knowing what The Operator is capable of and specifically, what he does to people he takes.
Marble Hornets also seems so familiar, like I can relate to it somewhat. I used to have creepy surreal daydreams where a tall paragraph sign (¶) would be standing right outside my house and I had the feeling that it would watch me.

The way he moves in Entry #14 and the fact that he's completely still in others. I once said it would be cool if the Slender Man had a little more hustle in a series, but when I think about it that slow pace the Operator takes in #14 (and even in Return) emphasizes that he can show up at any moment and he doesn't have to move around to get to you. It almost gives him character because he's conscious of the fact that no matter where you try to go, you're always in his reach.

Quick question:

When is the name "Operator" first used? I'm on E25 right now (Found MH originally from 30 Rock TV Tropes page then Slender Man and then glorious MH) and I've yet to see the name mentioned other than the totheark video title.

And what makes him freaky? He barely moves, so it's like a manikin (a la Doctor Who) that can move... and teleport... and inflict an undefinable level of psychological torture. Really it's the mystery of it all, that we know so little about him. Not knowing something will always be 10x more scary.

You can see the word on Alex's drawings in #11 and #44.

You don't know why he's there. He just is. Or should I say "it" instead? Who knows.

The lack of a face and the fact that he just watches you. What is that asshole up to?

Entry #54, 5:26.

I can no longer ever glance around a room and reassure myself that he's not there. HE WAS RIGHT THERE AND NO ONE SAW HIM.

These are called 'The Silence' from Doctor Who. As soon as you look away from them, you forget that they were even there. I don't know if it would be scarier if slendy had that same effect in MH or not and that Jay was just posting tapes of him, not remembering slendy at all.
