About a week ago I and some friends of my girlfriend's workplace, a very nice hotel housed babbo in a boat on Södermälarstrand, and drank a few beers as the early summer evening passed in for the season typically cooler night. Call The subjects were mixed, parts of at least two different gangs were represented and then usually it does not immediately launch a large round table, but rather talking with them they feel they know best. But a few beers inside the jackets later, we had found a substance that would appear as the evening's theme: ghost stories. It started out as such calls usually, tentatively, describing a time when it was properly scared of something that would later prove to be harmless, and then laughs all friendly to one's nervous shortcoming. The conversation continued in the classic way it used to, and after a while we all sat quite engrossed in various more or less lifelike Klintbergare and shuddered up. I enjoyed to the full.
The reason that I am on this particular night was so inclined to talk about contemporary myths, these often so classic Listed stories of our deepest human emotional reactions, babbo fear of the unknown or the all too well known, was that I was a few days earlier stumbled on youtube series Marble Hornets . The introduction to the series is exactly 2 minutes long video, deceptively babbo tranquil, where the background to the story is told with simple babbo white text against a background babbo of the environment around a road in the United States. So far, 842,000 people have seen it, and thus operated by the first part of section 1:41 long, perfectly babbo remarkable demonstration of how ingenious horror storytelling on the web can be. See also, otherwise you will not flinch what I'm talking about the future:
The set-up is, as you know, are promising. "Burn them". And from there it only gets better. The story of how a long faceless man begins babbo to haunt Alex Kralie and after a while also Jay, the narrator and the person who got the movie clips of Alex, grabs one of one's inner most primitive part of the brain: the fear of the nameless force that could at any time pop up anytime abduct one from the man himself perceives that the existing world. Alex and Jay will soon be so stressed that for her her well-being must constantly shoot themselves. They must know that they are always, whether asleep or awake, at home or outdoors, have an electronic eye on him, a compliance force that never sleeps and never looks wrong. But when it turns out that the long costume dressed pursuer not only interferes with perception in humans, but also with video cameras whose images are blurriga and inverted, and the sound becomes distorted and perverted, is not only the main characters' security away in one fell swoop: although we viewers Cover the uncertainty about what is real and what is not.
When I first sat through the first 10-15 episodes of the series (which went fast, they're often around three to four minutes in length), the clock was nearing two in the morning and my girlfriend had not come home from his night out which rendered me totally isolated in my apartment at Reimersholme, I was completely away from me. The notion that the antagonist, the frightening facial features loose man, had much greater strength babbo than first realized, and the fact that they knew the sound and video in the clips could at any time turn completely awry and with full power to beat your whole perception of the game, was enough to leave me wide awake until my girlfriend came home. And now, when I looked through all 41 sections, I am partly half-insane, but most of all gruesomely tense in the next section. For the cool thing is that this series takes place in real time. When the protagonist once was gone for seven months at a stretch, and neither got in touch via their twitter account or his youtube channel, gave many up on the series. But suddenly he came back and could tell that he was the morning woken up in a hotel, he did not recognize, and had no idea what he had been up to the past six months. Until he found a box of camcorder tapes that sorted out his long absence ... not because it was so very soothing, content to judge. And this - that the series is in real time, to live in the image of the main character right now is on the road, chased by it despite The Operator, as the ansiktslöse come to be known, is perhaps the show's greatest strength. And a tour de force that shows what the internet is made of the age-old phenomenon to tell ghost stories.
There is much more to talk about around the Marble Hornets, lots of fascinating backstory and inside information, but I do not actually spoila this experience for you. I think you should look through the whole series itself. It does not take much time, but will if you share my interests babbo probably give you a new favorite series. And unlike regular TV series you never know nah
