Just when you thought Slenderman limited his victim count, there are also two more ARG blogs out there that rival Marble Hornets itself. The creators/actors of Marble Hornets all recommended these two YouTube channels.
The first of these is TribeTwelve, which starts out quite similiar to Marble Hornets. Film students who happen by their good old soon-to-be pal Slenderman. By the time you reach the video "my grandfather Karl", you'll notice it's taking the story in a way different direction.
The acting isn't too good, but my God, the SOUND, and the EFFECTS are amazing. Slendy now has tentacles, which is more true to the original Urban Legend he spawned from. And my God, are the tentacle effects amazing. They're quite sneaky with slipping Slendy into shots, and you have to pause and look carefully to see him. Not only this, but I found this one to be more unnerving, and even scarier than MH, so tread lightly.
PROS: Great production value, better plot than Marble Hornets, damn scary.
CONS: Poor acting. And it may be TOO scary, even for the most seasoned.

EverymanHYBRID is probably my favorite Slenderman blog. Worth mentioning is that it starts out different, and is essentially an exercise blog gone wrong, which is hilariously awesome.
Perhaps the best thing about EverymanHYBRID is that it focuses on character development far more than its brother blogs. The dialogue is quite funny at times (particularly from the character Evan), and it can be said that EMH is a dark comedy. All of the characters are affected differently by Slenderman, and some have demons and scars, some even deep, from past experiences that were not even related to him.
Like TribeTwelve, EMH does a good job at hiding Slenderman, so keep an eye out. It's extremely well written and acted, so in the Ebert and Roeper fashion, I give it two thumbs up.
PROS: Great characters and acting, good writing, funnier and more lighthearted than the other Slenderman blogs.
CONS: Plot can get confusing; very annoying (and deafening) static noises in some videos.
