Notes[]
- The following information only involves the Marble Hornets Webseries, Marble Hornets Comics, Clear Lakes 44, ECKVA, and the Always Watching; A Marble Hornets Film. While its Unconfirmed it is possible for Slender: The Arrival to be canon as they have the same creator.
- In an interview (2013) they did state that Slender: The Arrival was not canon It's possible this was changed. They stated they wanted to stay in their Bubble with the Webseries but later connected a movie, comics, and side stories.
- It's unknown if he was ever possessed in the series but its possible it happened and we just never saw it {Look here}.
