Greetings Ghoulies! Have I got a treat for you! This undead lady has stumbled across a unique and wonderful new web series that will drive you mad with intrigue! This web series can be found on youtube.com. Despite it’s extremely low budget it has such a charm it will have you binge watching for hours! I have not finished this series because it is an ongoing series. Believe me you’ll want to get in on this gem right away as they are eighty plus episodes deep not including the Totheark videos.
How to start:
Start watching this series by searching Marble Hornets, go to their you tube and find the first video. I suggest pulling up a new tab and looking up Totheark and opening their you tube page. Make sure to keep up with the posting dates. Marble Hornets is about a young man named Jay who is trying to uncover the mystery of his friend Tim’s unfinished student film Marble Hornets. He soon discovers a world of terror tape by tape. A few months after the original post Totheark starts posting response videos that you will need to read the comments below to decode. Tothearks videos are what really spooks the fuck out of you as you because by this point you know who the ghoulish monster stalking the men is. Believe me you will not be let down, nor will you have seen it coming!
Yes it is low budget but I have never seen anything like this before, this series spans over years! Starting in 2009 I believe. It is so good and so addicting, I just had to share to get you all in on it right away!
There are a couple of “drawbacks” to this series that I feel I must share but understand I share these with you but do not personally feel like it makes this series any less unique and amazing.
First: It is a shot in a “found footage” format. The “entries” can be dizzying at times, but for me it adds something, something frightening.
Second: The acting, all be it not Oscar worthy, let us remember that these are not professionals. Here at Horror Aficionados we also have made movies and the same may be said about our films. It is the passion and creativity that makes these independents their charm, so don’t judge to hard, everybody starts from somewhere. Also as the series moves forward the acting gets worlds better.
Third: If you are a Gorehound like my love, well, Gorehound, you may find this series slightly disappointing in that it has no real gore. Yes there is blood, but it’s not truck loads.
Forth: You do have to jump back and forth from Marble Hornets and Totheark all while paying attention to the dates. This can be a tad bit daunting, but for me totally worth it.
Neither here nor there this series is amazing and I and I can’t wait to watch it unfold! I may be very vague here but I just wouldn’t sleep well in my coffin tonight knowing that I gave away all the sweet delicious secrets. Please watch this series.
Til next time, stay haunted ghoulies!
