Just wanna say thank you all for the amazing comments on this video. I always try my best to figure out all the details of the series and give the best theories i can. But you guys always point out something i didn’t realize and It makes for great discussions. So happy to have such an awesome community 🫶

Hi marcus, relatively new fan (about a couple weeks) and it's crazy the growth you've shown over the past year let alone 2 years. Some of your older stuff is definitely more difficult to watch than your newer stuff but thats evidence of how much you've grown. I hope that you can preserve some of those old playthroughs if you ever decided to delete them like I see a lot of youtubers do. I've had a lot of fun enjoying more of you and I know dedicated fans would appreciate you leaving them unlisted in a playlist or something. Anyway that was all hypothetical. I hope you have a good one.

[@Userr_Sionxi]

If you listen to what Victor says in his videos, he never says "missing" he says "gone" which clued me in that he's well aware of them being dead

A/S/L stands for Age/S*x/Location, which is a common thing used to find out about the person’s age, gender, and where their location is at. So seems like the entity used a/s/l to get to Victor’s location.

[@cicadarinn1253]

This is the meaning I'm familiar with. That's why I feel like I saw the the word somewhere but I couldn't quite get it.

[@myheartsblood]

A/S/L used to be something very common you asked when you first entered a chat room back on AOL (or IRC before that). You'd come into the room and immediately ask a/s/l. Or it was the first thing you asked someone when you started chatting on AOL Instant Messenger (AIM for short).

[@lawrence414]

Interesting fact : The screaming heard at 7:10 is one of the only recordings of an exorcism which was practiced by a local priest on a German catholic woman named Anneliese Michel. She died in 1976 after having suffered from *alleged* demonic possession since 1967, and her tale inspired the movies 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' as well as 'Requiem.' I am pretty sure that the recording is easy to find on KZbin, but it is really disturbing.

[@Wyntixty]

neat.

iirc the priest and parents were later prosecuted for not seeking medical help for what was clearly epilepsy and/or mental health issues

[@GOLDFIZHHH]

9:07 I just want to say, thank you for having these little skits/ parts of the video where you directly address that no harm will come to the viewer. As a paranoid person who still loves the horror genre, it’s hard to not subconsciously feel like something bad will happen to me when I watch horror content. The way you make your videos lets me be able to be immersed into an arg or horror media , without being scared of it not being fictional. Thank you emortalmarcus!

[@alexemliy4699]

Omg I feel with you! I'm also extremely paranoid and often feel like those things could watch me or appear in my home, thanks to him telling us it's not real and nothing will happen to us I feel safe and can enjoy the videos 🥹 I allways loved horror movies and games, they didn't really give me any issues. And then I found Analog horror....some of the stuff is so crazy there..but I love it! I just can't watch it alone (without somone reacting to it)

As someone who's been in deep search of different religions both account names in the beginning startes off with the names Beezlebub and one that Asmodeous both two prince demons from hell who rules a layer in hell. By what I can assume is that victor could've died and was abke to record his experience of his punishment.

[@Simply_Achilles_]

Or I could just be wrong. But then again its just a theory from what I just saw

[@ReticentSparrow]

I had the same first impression with Beelzebub. I needed to look at the other username multiple times to see Asmodeus. Both are mentioned in the tale of King Solomon, yes?

[@ghostgirl7089]

This makes a ton of sense this is the punishment he’s experiencing, being tormented constantly

[@GrandTemplarVigilant]

@@ReticentSparrowThey’re both described in the Lesser Key of Solomon. A grimoire that was purportedly first written by or on the orders of the king. Whether or not that bit is true is debatable and is most definitely false but the Grimoire itself exists and is basically a definitive guide to all the demons in hell and how to summon them.

[@disasterdance4314]

9:07 It is such a little detail, and it may be silly, but I absolutely love that Marcus does this. When I was younger disclaimers like those and copypastas of the kind "SEND THIS TO X AMOUNT OF PEOPLE OR SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN" had me so scared. Even though I am older now and know that nothing bad will happen to me, Marcus doing these little pauses to say that he grants us permission or blesses us with the Bulbasaur has me smiling and I appreciate it so much, I know little me needed someone like that and I am happy Marcus is here now for others who may have similiar worries like I used to. Marcus, keep on doing what you are doing, you bring a smile to so many faces. Have a blast. You are an absolute legend.

[@jtsboys123]

Marcus is always prepared if you have unauthorized access. BEHOLD THE BULBASAR BLESSING

[@prettyevil6662000]

Beelzebub and Asmodeus are two demon princes of hell, representing two of the seven deadly sins - gluttony and lust respectively. There are other demon princes who could be used in future videos. Though I don't really see how gluttony played into this. The lust aspect kind of makes sense since he said he couldn't stop thinking about Suma and all, but even that seemed a bit lacking. So not sure why those names were chosen. Unless he killed his family to be with this girl. maybe? As others have said, I think the rest of it might just be a representation of hell, repeating the day over and over until he accepted what he did.

[@Keon-q2f]

My exact thoughts but remember he sat inside the house choosing not to phone the police and sitting inside the home which is Gluttony The girl probably represents lust since as he said "she did it" and in that time she must have escaped but the tapes dont add up since they appear out of nowhere and his family are in them I'll definitely do more research

[@virtus.in.silentio]

Beelzebub is also known as the prince of envy if we’re going by _The Lanterne of Light’s_ classification of the seven.

@@aR3r-rg4yc my bad bro but sloth fits him better though but I can't argue maybe it's foreshadowing

[@lil_eepy]

I think this could be a stretch but could it be gluttony because it was close to thanksgiving?

[@VHSTaperOG]

I got 2 little theories, and yes they are far stretches, but something I realized is that when Suma says “Don’t stop thinking about me”, I actually feel likes it’s implying that Suma is some kind of form of guilt or like the subconscious feeling of guilt. Sort of like how when you’re doing something, there’s always that thought in the back of your mind. The physical entity that we see of Suma could actually be a physical being, or it’s how Victor pictures his guilt to look like, a wide screaming mouth like someone crying from grief and loss. Another little theory, is when he says he doesn’t remember recording things. Yes, it could be a possibility that Suma is an entity that has possessed him, but I also feel like it’s sort of him trying to give an identity to himself, sort of like another half. And yes, ik it sounds like DID, but it could be. He doesn’t remember recording certain things, doing certain things, and not going to certain places because a “voice” in the back of his mind is telling him not to. They are FAR beyond being stretches, but any theory is a theory

[@xiinar420]

I think the theory of it being some kind of mental illness is very viable as well- there’s been MANY instances of people in psychotic episodes having a missing or distorted memory of the episode when they did something impulsive in the moment. this could explain the coffee too because making coffee during an episode seems very possible, maybe he’s drifting in and out of them throughout the day. this kind of disregards the literal footage of his brother though, but I guess you could argue that wasn’t real either because it’s not mentioned by the police yet, who knows

[@gachanikki6668]

I didn't think about it till reading your comment but I don't think a DID case could be THAT far stretched. All the things seen/heard are just his mind trying to cope I do feel these theories including the strange things being in his mind are not full proof because these are clearly shown to be the actual footage, not the POV of Victor

[@Felinefreak]

31:44 it kinda feels like the creator has no clue that this convo wouldn't really happen that way for that time period. If you're in a chat room, you're on a computer that weighs half a ton and definitely needs a wired connection to the internet and 100% the other person is too, so receiving the "I'm here :)" would immediately be followed "quit messing around, how far is your house from my house?" in order to mentally calculate how long someone would need to travel that distance, cause if they still chatting with you, they haven't left their house

I have a theory that Victor could possibly be schizophrenic, I looked up what schizophrenic people typically see and this came up (What popped out to me was that they heard crying, or lights &, figures) People with schizophrenia may experience visual hallucinations, which can include seeing things that aren't there, such as: People: People may see family members, religious figures, or imaginary characters Animals: People may see animals Objects: People may see distorted objects or objects superimposed on real objects Lights: People may see lights or odd lights Visual hallucinations can cause a range of emotions, including fear, pleasure, or indifference. People with schizophrenia may also have trouble with depth perception and distance. Other types of hallucinations that people with schizophrenia may experience include: Auditory: People may hear voices, music, crying, ringing, or unknown languages Olfactory: People may smell things that aren't there Gustatory: People may taste things that aren't there Tactile: People may feel things moving on their body, such as hands or insects

15:26 The human body depending on the situation can in fact sense when its being watched. It can differ from a strong sense to a weaker sense where you kind of feel like you're being watched, but you're not fully processing it or taking it into actual consideration that its happened, or just feeling like its an odd sense and ignoring it. There has been cases where being stared at while asleep your body wakes up with suddenly without a start, like you were sleeping and now your eyes are suddenly open and you are aware of your surroundings. Its like an alert. Us humans are much more aware of ourselves and our surrounding then anyone make think

This reminds me of a game from what I remember is called "It's not me, it's my basement". It has very similar vibes and I love it.

Dawg this hits different with a shaker full of gamersupps at 5 PM as im thinking of doing this till 4 AM

[@steellest]

GUYS i swear ive heard this story before, i watched a tiktok like YEARS back, and it was like this exact story except it was told via troll faces(?). It was about the same thing, some guy not knowing where his family is and then calling the police and going to the basement and then realising he killed his own family. PLS TELL ME SOMEONE HAS SEEN THIS AS WELL

[@unnamed418]

you know it's a good video when we get the warning

[@randomperson-qp7kc]

i was home alone for the entire day watching this. freaked the shit out of me although its an analogue horror, 10/10 im gonna have nightmares (:

[@THEFILMDUO32]

At 9:58 Im pretty sure he says "Look at me, open the door"

[@Naomi-xx8pe]

9:58 the subtitles assume this alien like creature said “look at me” and I heard the last part Alexa, hint? 14:19 also no it certainly does not 17:59 I don’t here that man 19:02 ultimate procrastinator 20:00 looking around in fear possibly? Being forced to say these words?

[@VenusIsSerene]

I have a theory. I was watching 3rd episode and through out of it i got an idea. What if Victor is actually a schizophrenic individual, that is dealing through loss of his family (while being a survivor) in some kind of catastrophe? Screaming can be his flashbacks of his family screaming when being in insane amount of pain. Coffee being ready every morning is actually him recreating his mother's routine, to feel as if she is still here. Him not opening his brother's door can hint on two things. First thing, he killed his brother himself, which would make sense to not open the door. Those "monsters" that he sees and not mentioning them is represent of something he doesn't want to awknowledge, he wants to forget it. Or another version, his brother killed himself which is why he doesn't want to open the door himself. Second, as i mentioned it can be any catastrophe which can also be a murder at night so he is scared (i would say his brain is scared of him seeing it so creates that kind of illusion that he should wait when the door would open) of seeing his brother's corpse again so avoids the door. Video "self-portrait" can hint on his self destructive behaviour. Now we can go to Bubba and Suma texting. Victor, because he witnessed all of it and want someone with him, contacts Suma on some weird website, since it's easier for mental ill people to be victims of some manipulators and generally insane people, Victor explains everything and within some time of talking, asks for them to visit him. As someone mentioned Suma is anagram for Asmodeus which would make sense. Suma is a sinister individual that wants to use Victor for their own selfish reasoning. And with the fact that police department investigating can mean that Suma got what they wanted. That's all that i have for now. would edit it if i have more ideas. Edit: i think Victor either developed or had schizophrenia and was untreated for it which leads to him believing he is in some kind of danger which is why he killed his family or someone that wanted to kill from the start, Suma then either as i explained sick individual that encouraged him to do it or a personfication of desire. He goes on gore websites, desiring to see photos of murder, texting Suma "i can't stop thinking about you (murder), can you mail me another picture (searching through website for such photos/asking Suma to send him such photos)" "Never stop thinking about me :) (don't stop desiring to murder your family)" "please i need someone right now. I'm really scared, i feel like losing my mind (in this moment his desire is overwhelming him, he wants to kill and is scared of it, he feels like he can't control his actions anymore)" "-when i will get to meet you? -Soon :) (he is talking about his desire to kill, which would make sense that he would meet it soon)" It can also be DID, where Suma is his other personality, he texts himself, and Suma is a bad personality. either way i think Victor is mentally ill and it depends on whenever Suma actually existed or not. This explanation isn't to show mental illnesses in bad perspective, but i think there's too much evidence of him being mentally ill and untreated.

Bro my anime addiction made think, “A/S/L” was ace, sabo, and luffy from one piece

[@gummyneighborino7217]

[@Dootalt]

Good lord, how abhorrent

[@ElixirJK]

@@gummyneighborino7217then get the endurance, it is peak!

[@Tff_jm]

That did not happen

[@lightningmcqueenlovrrr]

i almost pooped on myself when i heard the beginning but then i heard marcus and i was like “oh its ok this not scary anymore”

[@-mako-6018]

i'm so internet coded my first reaction when suma sent the "never stop thinking about me" text was "that's crazy", i'm done for

33:07 with all honesty why does that face look so goofy to me💀💀

[@CJ-rl4kd]

Yo i love Spencer Lackey's videos 😭

[@V_6_729]

"Enough of me yapping" I still didn't understand what this was about

[@AFK.71]

“One more video before I go to bed.” The video-

[@freddyandfoxy7526]

9:56 i think the monster said open the door. Because the door is very clear to me. So i assume it said either please open the door or just "open the door"

[@salmamahran8989]

2:24 the jumpscare scared me I was almost cooked by that jumpscare

[@Helldiver_Ever]

Looks likes a great video again marcus keep it up

[@JimmieTom-m6c]

I don't think anyome caught this but in the recording where the screaming was closer to the room it sounded like a woman and that she was screaming the words " EEEEGGGUUUUUHHHHHHHH GETTTT MEEEE AA DOCTORRRR" it's strange that no matter how far i scroll no one mentions this.

[@JimmieTom-m6c]

Also the "woman" in the chat logs gives off older woman vibes that is grooming victor and I suspect that she convice Victor to kill his family because "they wouldn't understand our love for eachother" and all the other basic pedo groomer lines
