Dark Harvest

A newer Slender Man Mythos 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. He has no idea what he's really in for.

This is Dark Harvest's youtube page and Kind Von Der Ritter's. This is Chris' twitter page and Alex's.

Not to be confused with the Invader Zim episode.

The story provides examples of:

 * Abandoned Playground: The Rainwood Day Camp
 * The Blank: The Slender Man, of course. And Kind von der Ritter wears a mask that evokes this.
 * Cat Scare: In "The Day Camp, Revisited," Alex panics and freaks out when he thinks he sees the Slender Man.  It unnerves him and makes him storm off.
 * Crossover: Recently, a brief appearence in
 * Defector From Decadence: 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".
 * Haunted House: Chris initially thinks his house is haunted by a ghost. That may have been preferable.
 * Heroic BSOD:  seems to get one when Alex picks him up from the police department after.
 * Eldritch Abomination: The Slender Man /
 * Expy: Kind Von Der Ritter of 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.
 * Life Energy:.
 * Mind Screw: The end of Log #19
 * Organ Theft: Alex and Chris find a bag of internal organs.
 * Police Are Useless: 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  The next video starts with Alex picking Chris up from the Police Department with no helpful results.
 * Sacrificial Lamb:
 * Shout Out: A possible one to Ben Drowned or just Majora's Mask. Specifically, a video by Kind Von Der Ritter refers to the "fourth dawn", and KVD's blogspot even had a countdown to the "first dusk". Could just be a coincidence, but Chris and Alex WERE playing Master Quest in episode 4...
 * 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 Ben Drowned as it was by Marble Hornets.
 * In Entry #3, we find out that there was a detective on the scene after Log 14-2 who seems to be quite familiar with a certain "Tall Man". Sound like someone 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. Detective Amsel. Sound familiar?
 * The Operator symbol from Marble Hornets appears a number of times.
 * Tempting Fate: "Wanna hear my prediction? Nothing's going to happen."
 * Tome of Eldritch Lore: The Collective Knowledge.
 * Wham Episode: Log #14-1.
 * White Mask of Doom: Kind von der Ritter / the cultists.
 * Word of God: 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 episode 2, with Chris returning on episode 3 along with Tim from Marble Hornets.
