Tribe Twelve/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Being a piece of the Slender Man Mythos, Tribe Twelve is obligated to have some HONF.


  • Secret Parent Interview: The story about the house suddenly catching on fire and the strange "tall, suited, bald guy that looked like an 'FBI wannbe'" is creepy enough on its own. But the kicker comes in at 4:42 when Slendy appears in the mirror behind Noah after his Dad leaves and his head tilts before he vanishes when Noah's Mom's hand waves across him. The several moments of distortion are also creepy.
    • YMMV, obviously. This troper couldn't help but imagine a slide-whistle sound effect when Slendy rises out of the floor, and couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the vid.
  • Device findings: The distorted voice is creepy enough on its own but its transcribe [1]... *shudder*
  • The end of INTERRUPTION will make you poop bricks and pee all the contents of every lemonade stand that has existed in history multiplied by six.
  • It's been mentioned countless times, but Tribe Twelve has some of the best Visuals of any Slender Vlog so far. That said, expect any time Slendy is on screen, especially when the tentacles are visible, to be this.
  • Box Analysis. The second audio track. Then, the tape. Oh, and if that wasn't bad enough, the key he found in the box? It opens his garage door. Then, to top it off, the end of the video is accompanied by slight audio-visual distortion.
  • UNKNOWN. CALLER. The transcript DOES NOT HELP.
  • Northern Trip Footage Slenderman on a Plane tentacles a wavin' and people screaming with distortion everywhere. Sounds like fun!
    • How about the little girl afterwards?

Little girl: Daddy, who was that man?
Dad: What man?
Little girl: The tall man.

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY. What. The. Fuck. First off, we learn that the Observer kidnaps Noah AGAIN (because apparently once was not enough) and we get a good look at the Observer's Nightmare Fuel Rotoscoping powers when he (among other things) gives himself FINGER TENTACLES and a good, long look at Noah's actual abduction, from first person no less. The Jump Scare at the end got me too, and the background noise was a viscerally unnerving repeating crescendo of what sounded like static. I'm never watching another Observer video ever.
    • The creepy rape overtones with Noah and the Observer don't help.
    • This troper swears he can see some sort of Cthulhoid Eldritch Abomination behind Slendy in that one group shot. That wouldn't help things at all....
  • November 11th is the kidnapping from Noah's point of view, and it's just as creepy. The rape overtones are certainly there ("YOU ARE RIPE"), and Noah (but not the viewer) finally sees the Observor in person, and promptly falls over in shock and repeatedly says that it's impossible, before he gets dragged off camera. And just in case you thought about sleeping anytime soon, the Observor's shadowed face appears under the bed. And then there's his little rhyme for Noah; "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, I have a gun, and I don't think you do."
    • Seeing The Observer's real, non-rotoscoped face really disturbed this troper. Also, later on, when he takes off his glasses...*shiver*
    • What disturbed this troper was the fact that the Observer was Kevin, a person that Noah not only trusted, but was one of the few sane people Noah knew. Now, look around you. Are you sure you know your friends and family that well? One could be a member of the Collective and you wouldn't ever know it...
  • According to the Observer, he can see through the Observer symbols dotted around the place. Including those on computer screens, or any you may have drawn. Although he can choose not to look [dead link], any time you see one of those symbols he could be looking at you and everything you're doing.
    • One of the clips in November 11th is of someone opening up a brain - and it has the Observer symbol inside.
  • Noah's Sanity Slippage is seriously disturbing to this troper, even more so than the freaking Humanoid Abomination. Seeing a guy breaking down as his entire life is turned upside down by forces he can't possibly comprehend or fight is unnerving.
  • Mary Asher Phone Call: This is where the shit seriously hits the fan. Taking place the day before Noah's birthday, Noah gets a phone call from Milo's mother, who reveals that Milo's entire body vanished and that the cremated ashes where those of a cat. We also learn that the journal that "Mr. Slim" is after belonged to a nazi soldier. The true terror comes after they have a vicious arguement and Mary hangs up. Noah hears the door bell and gets his gun ready not noticing Slender Man standing in his closet. Noah runs to the door to see no one there, and then turns around to see Slender Man standing right across the hall. Noah fires off four shots, not even making the faceless terror flinch. Then, in a subversion of Offscreen Teleportation, Slender Man freaking bullrushes Noah and knocks him down! Noah gets back up and we see Slender Man has entered full-on Combat Tentacles mode, forcing Noah to run. The most terrifying part is that this is the closest we've seen Slender Man so far, giving us a good view of a head that has the shape of a face, with none of the features. This is also the closest that we've seen his tentacles.
    • Also, in a very quick blink-and-you-miss-it moment, when Noah is fiddling with the camera's night vision, during one of the flashes, the Observer's glasses reflection can be seen at the end of the hall.
  1. Hello, my child. I see you've found my little toy. Took you long enough. About 4 months? *makes clicking sound with tongue* I was beginning to think you'd never find it. Good thing you're not as deaf as you are stupid. You shouldn't have cut those wires, there is more to be found. But I'm being unfair. Perhaps, you just need another little... ah... lesson, like the one you got at the Nature Trail. Would you like that? Shh... shh... *chuckle* But we will teach you so much. Who all those eyes belong to.... We shall teach you their names. About that forest... yes... that forest you were in. Under its branches the rain runs red. *another laugh* Would you like to know where you went? Would you like to know why? Perhaps you'd like to know why Milo committed suicide? Or rather, how I helped him do so. *clicks his tongue again* Language, Mr. Maxwell. The walls have such sensitive ears. *long sigh* We want only to remove those festering sutures from your eyes... are you so afraid of sight? A brief lesson, from your own world. You, and everyone you've ever known, are prisoners... bound in a cave and facing a blank wall on which you can only perceive shadows. A brain connected to eyes and nothing more. We have seen what casts those shadows, Noah Maxwell. Why won't you let us untie you? You are quite deserving, after all. *inhale* The Boardwalk. Bring the journal. That is your homework. However, if you come empty handed, we shall be forced to take... disciplinary actions. Perhaps another detention? *lip smacking sounds* Until then, I will continue my... observations. Pleasant dreams, Noah. *laugh*
