A newer SlenderManMythos Vlog. A young man named Chris has a little problem. Some strange things are going on in his house while his parents are away... He decides to try and film it, believing it to possibly be haunted. [[ItGotWorse He has no idea what he's really in for.]]
This is Dark Harvest's [[http://www.youtube.com/user/DarkHarvest00 youtube page]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/user/KindVonDerRitter Kind Von Der Ritter's]]. This is Chris' [[http://twitter.com/DarkHarvest00 twitter page]] and [[http://twitter.com/gameslave2 Alex's]].
Not to be confused with the InvaderZim episode.
----
!! The story provides examples of:
* AbandonedPlayground: The Rainwood Day Camp [[spoiler: Which is also a playground of sorts for the Slender Cult.]]
* TheBlank: The Slender Man, of course. And Kind von der Ritter wears a mask that evokes this. [[spoiler: As does an entire cult surrounding the former.]]
* CatScare: In "The Day Camp, Revisited," Alex panics and freaks out when he thinks he sees the Slender Man. [[spoiler: Turns out it was just a mural painted on the wall.]] It unnerves him and makes him storm off. [[spoiler: And then, it turns out [[ProperlyParanoid he wasn't entirely wrong in doing so]].]]
* {{Crossover}}: Recently, a brief appearence in [[spoiler: EverymanHYBRID]]
* DefectorFromDecadence: Kind von der Ritter has been going against his Slender-cult and leaving clues for the boys, culminating in a video of one of their ceremonies, titled "my_final_betrayal".
* HauntedHouse: Chris initially thinks his house is haunted by a ghost. That may have been preferable.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Chris]] seems to get one when Alex picks him up from the police department after [[spoiler: a gang of cult members break into his house and stab him]].
* EldritchAbomination: The Slender Man / [[spoiler: aka Gorr'Rylaehotep.]]
* {{Expy}}: Kind Von Der Ritter of [[MarbleHornets Totheark]]. He seems to be even stranger, wearing a mask that makes him look like a not-so-tall version of Slenderman and a rather odd outfit. He can easily be mistaken for Slendy at a distance.
* [[spoiler:EldritchLocation: The Fourth World, which is either the location of the EldritchAbomination Slender Man works for, or is the location of the Slender Man's true body (with the suited humanoid being a mere projection). The only type of energy that the Fourth World has in common with ours (the Third World) is LifeEnergy ("vim"), so it's got to be a pretty mind bendingly bizarre place]].
* [[spoiler:GovernmentConspiracy: Some portions of the U.S. government are aware that Slender Man is more than just a SerialKiller, and are (or were) actively doing research into the paranormal "science" behind him. One of them probably posed as one of the investigators into Greg's murder, since one investigator that interviewed the characters refused to say which agency he belonged to, much less give out his name]].
* LifeEnergy: [[spoiler:Called "vim" in the series, it's used to create a portal to the [[EldritchLocation Fourth World]], which is where Slender Man and/or his powers come from. Presumably the cult performs HumanSacrifice to get the LifeEnergy needed to open the portals]].
* MindScrew: The end of Log #19 [[spoiler:Slenderman leans out from behind a door frame, but then at the start of 19.5 they act like it didn't happen. Add in the distortion at the end of 19.5 and things are definitely getting screwy.]]
* OrganTheft: Alex and Chris find a bag of internal organs. [[spoiler: And in the WhamEpisode, this is what happens to their friend, Greg.]]
* PoliceAreUseless: Towards the beginning, the characters don't hesitate to call the cops whenever something strange happens, but nothing ever comes of it. They come to quickly realize how much this trope is in effect. This comes to a head when [[spoiler: Chris's house is invaded by at least ten cult members, and Chris is stabbed before managing to lock himself in his bathroom and await rescue from Alex.]] The next video starts with Alex picking Chris up from the Police Department with no helpful results.
* [[spoiler: ReligionOfEvil: The belief system of the cult that worships Gorr'Rylaehotep.]]
* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler: Greg, a friend who was also being stalked by Kind von der Ritter, and implicitly, Slender Man.]]
* ShoutOut: A possible one to BenDrowned or just [[TheLegendofZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]. Specifically, a video by Kind Von Der Ritter [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur3TMHHH5OE refers to the "fourth dawn"]], and KVD's [[http://kindervonderritter.blogspot.com/ blogspot]] even had a countdown to the "first dusk".

** A much more blatant one in Log Entry #15, where they actually play Majora's Mask on April 23.
** With the addition of the cult, it's probable that this series was inspired just as much by BenDrowned as it was by MarbleHornets.
** In Entry #3, we find out that there was a detective on the scene after [[WhamEpisode Log 14-2]] who seems to be quite familiar with a certain [[SlenderManMythos "Tall Man"]]. Sound like someone [[SeekingTruth we might know?]]
*** Possibly disproven in Log 19.5, when the detective's name is revealed. While it could ostensibly be a pseudonym, it seems more likely that the detective is an original character.
*** However, his name is still a shout-out. '''D'''etective '''Amsel'''. [[CanYouSeeTheWords Sound]] [[EverymanHYBRID familiar]]?

* TemptingFate: "Wanna hear my prediction? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyJYZbOAyTs&feature=channel_video_title Nothing's going to happen]]."
* [[spoiler: TimeTravel: At the end of "The Atlantic Test Site," Alex, Chris, and Jesse return home late at night...but when they enter the house, it's suddenly day light, and a female voice implies they were seemingly only gone for a few minutes.]]
* TomeOfEldritchLore: The Collective Knowledge.
* [[spoiler:UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Diary entries from one of the cultists indicate that this might be the motivation for the cult. However, the cultists' idea of a utopia [[InfernalParadise might not be the same as that of most of the rest of humanity]]]].
* [[spoiler:WasOnceAMan: While Slender Man might be the god that the cultists worship, he might also be the highest ranking member of the cult, who was transformed by their god into what he is now]].
* WhamEpisode: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDz2NL9CS9Q&feature=channel_video_title Log #14-1]].
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Kind von der Ritter / the cultists.
* WordOfGod: Alex and Chris have become some-what regulars on the Around the Campfire podcast, where they share a lot of behind the scenes details. Their first appearance was on [[http://www.finalsmash.com/around-the-campfire-episode-2-11-04-2011/ episode 2]], with Chris returning on [[http://www.finalsmash.com/around-the-campfire-episode-3-11-19-11/ episode 3]] along with Tim from Marble Hornets.
