Marble Hornets (abbreviated MH) is a YouTube web series inspired by the Slender Man online mythos. The first episode was posted on YouTube on June 20, 2009, following a post that its creator, Troy Wagner, created on Something Awful the previous day.
To date, there are 87 entries chronicling the series and 92 episodes. The series also has 39 accompanying videos from a side-channel, "totheark". These videos, as well as the eponymous "totheark", have been featured multiple times throughout the story. As of 3 October 2016, the principal channel has over 88,500,000 views.
On August 3, 2015, a spin-off sequel series titled Clear Lakes 44 was uploaded onto the Marble Hornets channel. As of April 2016, Clear Lakes 44 was cancelled after the members of the creative team went their separate ways, as confirmed by Wagner.
On October, 16, 2016, a successor to Clear Lakes 44, titled Eckva, was launched.
In 2015 a film adaptation Always Watching: A Marble Hornets Story was released.
The series follows Jay (Troy Wagner), a young man who attempts to find out what happened during the filming of "Marble Hornets", a student film project of his friend, Alex Kralie (Joseph DeLage), three years previous. Alex abruptly ended the project after two months of production and has since been secluding himself from society. Before cutting contact with Jay, Alex gave the film tapes to Jay while telling the latter never to talk about it with him again. Jay discovers that the filming seemed to be hampered by a figure known as "the Operator", who begins invading Jay's personal life after he watches the tapes, inducing him to set up cameras in his apartment. Posting the tapes to YouTube as "Entries" also nets Jay cryptic and threatening responses from a user known as "totheark". Jay's attempts lead him to meet with one of the film's cast members, Tim (Tim Sutton), and a visit to the abandoned house of another cast member, Brian (Brian Haight), where he has his first encounter with a masked figure. Jay also finds a tape showing Alex leaving his cameraman Seth (Seth McCay) at a red tower when confronted with the Operator, and deeming all of the cast and crew of Marble Hornets "gone". Eventually, threats of stalking from totheark causes Jay to flee his apartment, which is subsequently burned down. Jay sets out to find Alex after receiving a video mail of Alex and his girlfriend, Amy (Bethann Williams), being attacked by the Operator.
