Line 22:
* [[Life Energy]]: {{spoiler|Called "vim" in the series, it's used to create a portal to the [[Eldritch Location|Fourth World]], which is where Slender Man and/or his powers come from. Presumably the cult performs [[Human Sacrifice]] to get the [[Life Energy]] needed to open the portals}}.
* [[Mind Screw]]: 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.}}
* [[Organ Theft]]: Alex and Chris find a bag of internal organs. {{spoiler|And in the [[Wham! Episode]], this is what happens to their friend, Greg.}}
* [[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 {{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|[[Religion of Evil]]: The belief system of the cult that worships Gorr'Rylaehotep.}}
* [[Sacrificial Lamb]]: {{spoiler|Greg, a friend who was also being stalked by Kind von der Ritter, and implicitly, Slender Man.}}
* [[Shout -Out]]: A possible one to [[Ben Drowned (Web Video)|Ben Drowned]] or just [[The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask|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". Could just be a coincidence, but Chris and Alex WERE playing [[Ocarina of Time|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 (Web Video)|Ben Drowned]] as it was by [[Marble Hornets]].
** In Entry #3, we find out that there was a detective on the scene after [[Wham! Episode|Log 14-2]] who seems to be quite familiar with a certain [[Slender Man Mythos|"Tall Man"]]. Sound like someone [[Seeking Truth|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'''. [[Can You See the Words|Sound]] [[Everyman HYBRID|familiar]]?
Line 38:
* {{spoiler|[[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: Diary entries from one of the cultists indicate that this might be the motivation for the cult. However, the cultists' idea of a utopia [[Infernal Paradise|might not be the same as that of most of the rest of humanity]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Was Once a Man]]: 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}}.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDz2NL9CS9Q&feature=channel_video_title 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 [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.
