Marblehornets: The Scariest Web Series EVER

As far as the web series go, most online shows and videos are still in their infancy. It is only in the past two or three years that web series have began to get a certain level of production value into their productions. Series like "Video Game High School" have really changed the game when it comes to the quality and entertainment value that a web series can produce. However, these kind of series are few and far between. There are some hidden gems that are now becoming quite popular thanks to pop culture and games. One of these gems is a series called "Marble Hornets".

"Marble Hornets" is a psychological horror series that is told from the point of view of Jay, a young film maker, who stumbles upon the old tapes of an unfinished film his friend Alex was making. Take two minutes and watch this introduction video to the series:

So right there, you're introduced to the main premise of the story. Nothing too suspicious, but without spoiling anything, it escalates very quickly. And our many antagonists in this series are quite frightening. It is shot similarly to the style of "Cloverfield" and "The Blair Witch Project".

To give you an idea of how great this series is, Roger Ebert himself says the series is, "remarkably well done".  So give it a watch, here is a link to a playlist so you can all scare yourselves silly watching it.
