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.

Eh why not i'll hop on the band wagon...

Hey everyone. My name is Corinne Theis and as was said by everyone else on this blog I am a TV-R major video concentration. Last semester I added a minor in Speech Communications, partly because it gives you a different perspective on how media effects people and the way people view things. I'm not really all that in to professional sports, although I don't mind playing a quick game of base/softball, soccer, tennis, whatever. I love all types of music, right now I really love listening to country (and yea i know i'll probably get some heat from that) and i'm not that big into rap or screamo. I'm not really sure what I want to do in the future, probably either act in or edit a tv show, but we'll see what happens.

Also I'm really involved with ICTV and have met some of the most amazing and wonderful people though it. ICTV is also having its Rush Night, and for the .01% that don't know what that means, it the night when all the shows have sign ups. I really think everyone should go and sign up to work on a show its a great experience.
