** Broadcast #11 reveals [[spoiler:that someone knows [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou that you're watching]]. They want to know if you enjoy watching people suffer... and if you'd like to see more.]]

** Broadcast #6 is entitled "Birdwatcher".

*** The second is [[spoiler: when 'Walker' turns to face one of the cameras; his face is distorted in static, similar to how Hoody's was in Entry #83 of ''Marble Hornets'']].
** In Broadcast #6, 'Birdwatcher' goes to examine the door and turn around, his eyes bulging with terror, before the camera cuts out...and then returns to show [[spoiler: a black human-shaped creature that's clearly supernatural in nature]].

*** The second is [[spoiler: when the Hooded Man turns to face one of the cameras; his face is distorted in static, similar to how Hoody's was in Entry #83 of ''Marble Hornets'']].

** Episode 6 is entitled "Birdwatcher".

** The tweet released on the ''Marble Hornets'' Twitter hinting at this series composed of nothing but "44".
** The e-mail address of the admin on Alex's site is dscott3872@gmail.com. 44 × 44 × 2 = 3872.
** In Noah's fateful February 19th stream, once he reportedly began coughing the stream cut out and replaced the screen's contents with a big red "44" against static. In the upper left corner was a pixel with the Japanese character of the number 8 (4 x 2).
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvwA3Qrbz00&feature=youtu.be&t=86 THAC's Patreon announcement video]], several images are shown including a distorted image that has a 40:04 timestamp, and an image of 40 4's against a blue background.
** The ''MH'' website's admin is named D. Scott; research has seen connections with a late writer named D. Scott Rogo who was killed at the age of 40.

* ArcWords: "There are footsteps."

The series was first hinted at from a [[https://twitter.com/marblehornets/status/566692509410009089 mysterious tweet]] made on the ''Marble Hornets'' Twitter on February 14th, 2015, eight months after the 87th and final ''Marble Hornets'' entry was published.

Five days later, a livestream held by Noah Scammon (member of WebVideo/TroyHasACamera alongside the people who portrayed Jay, Alex, and Tim in ''MH'') was rudely interrupted with static and a large 44 once he began coughing before the stream's end. [[https://youtu.be/wvwA3Qrbz00?t=86 THAC's Patreon video from the 28th]] cut to multiple distorted shots while talking about a possible sequel to ''Marble Hornets'' as well.

On April 4th, THAC showed off [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzcUcp0Z2-I a heavily distorted behind the scenes video]], containing references to [[http://marblehornets.com marblehornets.com]], a site made by Alex Kralie to advertise ''Marble Hornets'' before his encounters with The Operator. The site appears to have an ARG-style interaction with users, containing hidden pages and videos related to Marble Hornets' beginnings. [[spoiler:You can log in as Alex with the password rocky86.]]

*** The second is [[spoiler: when the Hooded Man turns to face one of the cameras; his face is distorted in static, similar to how Hoody's was in Entry #83 of ''Marble Horents'']].

* AmbiguousSituation: There is no context given to the series within the first couple of broadcasts, let alone why it's being uploaded to the ''Marble Hornets'' channel. The only hints we have to the latter so far are vague hints on the newly-created Marble Hornets website that link to the new series, and [[spoiler: a brief appearance by Tim in Entry #4]].
** Adding to this is the fact that Alex, despite being ''dead'' as a consequence of the previous series for over a year now, is shown to be updating the blog on his ''Marble Hornets'' website, even posting private videos on the development of ''Marble Hornets'' as though absolutely nothing had happened, despite Alex, you know, abandoning the project several years ago, which was what kicked off the original series to begin with.

* [[spoiler: TheCameo: Tim in Broadcast #4. Whether this is just a cameo or if he's a full-blown main character have yet to be seen.]]
* ContinuityNod: The gazebo seen in Broadcast #2 seems to be the same one from Entry #9 and Entry #69 in ''Marble Hornets''.

* TheFaceless: The old man in Broadcast #2 seems to be this, but this may just be a trick of the light.
** Broadcast #5 reveals that the Hooded Man is not only this but also apparently a walking InterfaceScrew!
* MalevolentMaskedMen: Or rather Malevolent ''Hooded'' Man, another mainstay of ''Marble Hornets''.

** There's a hooded man almost identical to the Hooded Man from ''Marble Hornets'', right down to [[spoiler: stealing pills and his face being distorted by static when he looks at the camera]].

* SpinOff: It's been referred to as a sequel series to ''Marble Hornets'', set in the same continuity; it's even uploaded on the same YouTube channel. [[spoiler:See also: StealthSequel.]]

* [[spoiler:StealthSequel: Possibly; Tim appears in Broadcast #4 receiving a package from an unidentified figure.]]

* WhamShot: Broadcast #4 shows two blurry figures making some sort of exchange. It isn't till the last few seconds one of them comes close to the camera and it focuses on his face clearly, revealing [[spoiler: Tim from ''Marble Hornets'']].

* BigBrotherIsWatching: They can see you no matter where you are, and they can be right next to you without you even knowing. This is even evident in their slogan, "We're Always With You".

** There's a hooded man acting suspicious, almost identical to the Hooded Man from ''Marble Hornets''.
* SinisterSurveillance: If there is indeed a single camera-operating entity in every video, then they seem to have access to plenty of them. Parking lots, multiple angles inside and outside at least two homes, several rooms that have little business having a camera to begin with, what appears to be at least one remote-controlled drone camera, and, from what we can see near the end of Broadcast #5, [[spoiler:footage from cameras that ''don't actually exist'', as was the case for whatever was filming from the door]].

** The e-mail address of the admin on Alex's ''Marble Hornets'' site is dscott3872@gmail.com. 44 × 44 × 2 = 3872.

On April 4th, THAC showed off [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzcUcp0Z2-I a heavily distorted behind the scenes video]], containing references to [[http://marblehornets.com marblehornets.com]], a site made by Alex Kralie to advertize Marble Hornets before the Slenderman incident. The site appears to have an ARG-style interaction with users, containing hidden pages and videos related to Marble Hornets' beginnings. [[spoiler:You can log in as Alex with the password rocky86.]]

** Adding to this is the fact that Alex, despite being ''dead'' as a consequence of the previous series for over a year now, is shown to be updating Marble Hornets through his website on his blog, even posting private videos on the development of Marble Hornets as though absolutely nothing had happened, despite Alex, you know, abandoning the project several years ago, which was what kicked off the original series to begin with.

* BleakAbyssRetirementHome: Parts of the broadcasts show locations that evoke this feel. There is a scene with a man in a rocking chair sitting in an otherwise bare room in Broadcast #2, and in Broadcast #3 we are introduced to a man who uses a walking cane to move around a small room with a TV.

** Broadcast #5 reveals that the Hooded Man is not only this but also apparently a *living* InterfaceScrew!
