Whenever I hear SGB and Slenderman, I immediately think of the one part of the let’s play (SGB returns to Slender: the arrival I believe it was called), where Elliot had one or two pages left, decided to restart the level, WALKED UP to Slenderman so that he can, only for the game to treat it as if he got all 8 pages and have him proceed to the next level.
Even though he might be old fashion at this point, I’m still a big Slenderman fan. He basically paved the way for Marble Hornets, which sort of kickstarted the modern horror ARG.
There's a comment that just sticks with me; _The scariest part about those pictures was it was in broad daylight._ And most of these games take place at night, but to see this...THING in the morning must be horrifying.
"If you were here when we used to start Halloweenfest on Elliot's birthday, you apply for a veteran's discount" Well, then, I guess I'm a veteran now! This is a real blast from the past. If I'm being honest with myself, I almost completely forgot that Slenderman was a thing, because it feels like he's just faded into complete obscurity in recent years. But, I was around in the early 2010s when Slender: The Eight Pages came out, and I remember how ubiquitous the character used to be on the internet back then. I also remember watching you guys play that game on the channel for Elliot's birthday (I think, I might be misremembering), and, well, there's really no better way to cap off Halloweenfest than with a game like this! It really does bring me back to 2010-2014.
That's actually a pretty good idea. The whole restaurant being themed around gaming with the food items being the main menu. I like that idea. Desserts cost as much as DLC items. Oh boy.
I remember watching the original playthrough while I was in middle school. And I've earned the veteran's discount, it seems. I had a great laugh at the original Slender playthrough, back... 11 years ago...
I remember watching the original Slender video on this channel way back when and getting properly scared by it because I’d not watched games like this before. Time flies. So glad that you’re all still around making videos
Wow... I was kind of expecting this honestly! The remaster of the game I speedrun. I go back to watch the old StA videos from time to time. They're always a fun time. :)
I’ve preferred this playing a little of a lot of games to the way it used to be of doing full playthroughs of horror games that might not always stay exciting on a full playthrough. That being said I hope you haven’t pushed too hard getting all this extra content out, it’s been so good having SGB back and I didn’t realise how much I missed it and would be a shame for any burn out to set in from feeling obligated to commitments of all these extra videos. If next year you only alternated with the main let’s play or just stopped those entirely until Halloween was over, I’d be just as happy
Man look how far you guys came it’s been years and I been along for the ride you guys have been my favorite TH-camrs and I’m glad you guys are awesome excited to see what you guys do next
28:50 That wasn't a scare, that was just Slender going in to take a deuce. He was even reaching for the handle, let the tall boi take a twosie in peace.
When it comes to the Slender games, (the few decent and good ones), with the premise of "dont look at him to close" and for years and I mean years people would say "hey I think I saw slenderman to the left" and of course they look to the left. It always makes me laugh like how did that even happen? If your goal to survive is to not look at hte monster, people do hte opposite.
seems like this overhaul kinda ruined the feel of the game imo, it’s way too bright. like that part with the little burnt dude running around in the corn field, (around 50:30) you could barely see him in the original. but here, there he is just cruising around and the first level with the 8 pages, you can see like, *perfectly,* aside from when elliot went inside the building idk, it’s strange
Id be down for amanda the adventurer and its sequel when it comes out aswell (Also i dont remember when i started sgb but i remember silently watching all the way back in kh2 so i might not get the veteran's discount so im almost there damn it)
Contrary to popular belief- halloween is not the scariest holiday. Thinking of new years traffic and christmas in retail I shudder to think that maybe we should keep going with Halloweenfest
Matt's constant mention of Sonic Superstars, seems awfully familiar to a certain someone's constant phrase mention in the Link to the Past LP, eh? (Even funnier, He's the one that finds Matt's mention unfunny. My, how far we've come lol) Great Halloweenfest guys! Likely the best one yet. A ton of choices for games to continue, probably not seen until next October rolls around but no biggie. Also can't wait for the old LPs to return, with Greg added on for extra hilarity~
Ugh, speakin of someone not understanding how a game works, almost 10 years ago, I was on a skype call with a couple I was friends with, and the girlfriend was playing a game, I forgot which one, but I had played it before, and she was somewhere right after the end of the tutorial stuff, and in the area she was in, she kept trying to get to a ledge that you cant actually access until later in the game when ya get a certain upgrade to move an object to act as the platform needed to get on the ledge, and after like, 30 minutes of me telling her that she cant get to it until later, she got all mad saying the game was shit because "if she's able to access the area with the ledge NOW, then she should be able to get to the ledge NOW" and she rage quit the game and never played it since. Ugh, I'd hate to see her play a Metroidvania
I'd like to apply for my Senior Club Card. I'm totally cool with it doing nothing, I'd just like to have it. Maybe then my mom would be proud of me. Happy Halloween everyone.
I only got to play it for the first time recently, and I thought Legacy of Darkness was way more enjoyable than I was ever led to believe. I imagine an LP would just lambast it, though :/
ngl, the sound design in the factory and hearing footsteps back and forth between the left and right channels REALLY fucked with me lol. I couldn't imagine what it would sound like playing it knowing something is following. Especially on the first playthrough when you don't know that there is only one girl stalking you.
Tears of the Kingdom would not be 50-60 hours without side content, lol. If you literally just do the main story and dungeons it's probably like a 15 hour game or less.
I'm definitely down with the 13 days of Halloween games, however I do find it a bit iffy when some games aren't finished, I do hope some of these games get continued and finished in the future. With that being said, will you be accepting suggestions for games to play for next year? I have one that I'd love to be shown off as I don't think it gets enough love.
How very fitting Elliot's Horror Journey began with Slenderman and it CONTINUES with Slenderman!
It began with Slender and it makes a comeback with Slender.
Whenever I hear SGB and Slenderman, I immediately think of the one part of the let’s play (SGB returns to Slender: the arrival I believe it was called), where Elliot had one or two pages left, decided to restart the level, WALKED UP to Slenderman so that he can, only for the game to treat it as if he got all 8 pages and have him proceed to the next level.
That's because he played on easy mode which lets you beat the level after only 4 pages.
Even though he might be old fashion at this point, I’m still a big Slenderman fan. He basically paved the way for Marble Hornets, which sort of kickstarted the modern horror ARG.
There's a comment that just sticks with me;
_The scariest part about those pictures was it was in broad daylight._
And most of these games take place at night, but to see this...THING in the morning must be horrifying.
_"Look how OLD you've become..."_
"If you were here when we used to start Halloweenfest on Elliot's birthday, you apply for a veteran's discount"
Well, then, I guess I'm a veteran now!

“Happy Birthday to you… Happy Birthday to you… Happy Birthday dear Elliot… Happy Birthday to you…”
(Reals one would remember)
I remember
That's actually a pretty good idea. The whole restaurant being themed around gaming with the food items being the main menu. I like that idea. Desserts cost as much as DLC items. Oh boy.
Johnny " That's a commitment!"
Me" Cough cough FF14 cough cough.
Hey it’s just like the original! Elliot only found 5-6 pages and teleported to the next level just like last time!
The opening of the first slender video where everyones singing happy birthday to Elliot is burned into my mind
I never realized the first Slender playthrough was the start of Halloweenfest, god I feel old...
Blast from the past and a perfect way to end Halloween fest.
What a great Halloweenfest this year, I loved the games, the commentary, and how it's back after so long!
Aw man this a blast from the past I just wished Mark was in this that definitely would it made even better.
Where it all started.. Happy Halloween SGB and to everyone else in the comment section!
Fun fact I lived 30 minutes away from the Something Awful office here in Missouri. What a weird time in my life i didnt expect to revisit today
Absolutely fantastic Halloweenfest, guys. Great return to form. Now I'm all excited for next year!
I remember watching the original playthrough while I was in middle school. And I've earned the veteran's discount, it seems. I had a great laugh at the original Slender playthrough, back... 11 years ago...
Am I the only one who got terrified when he popped in front of us the first time and immediately reached for us? That was fucking scary. 😅
1:03 I was there when ya'll first started Slender all those years ago. Man, time flies.
I remember watching the original Slender video on this channel way back when and getting properly scared by it because I’d not watched games like this before. Time flies. So glad that you’re all still around making videos
12:02
Oh hey it's Edward Meeker's recording of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"!
YES THAT SONG HAS VERSES BEFORE THE CHORUS.
I really liked this new format , super refreshing can't wait for next years Halloweenfest!
“You’re the one who wanted us to do Sonic Superstars”
OOOOOOH HOHOHOHO I would kill for that!
I can imagine Elliot’s raged up screams now… :]
3:54
I remember that this question haunted me as a kid… for like, a month, after I saw a “documentary” about Slenderman treating it as real.
43:48 YES
1:13:10 We did it, Elliot! We saved the city! 😂
Gotta love when things come full circle. This was a great Halloweenfest from y'all
4:29 I’m a nerd, so I laughed when the writers names appeared on screen as soon as Johnny mentioned Marble Hornets.
While its great to see you guys play this again, I was really hoping to see World of Horror in the line up.
Wow... I was kind of expecting this honestly! The remaster of the game I speedrun. I go back to watch the old StA videos from time to time. They're always a fun time. :)
I’ve preferred this playing a little of a lot of games to the way it used to be of doing full playthroughs of horror games that might not always stay exciting on a full playthrough.

If next year you only alternated with the main let’s play or just stopped those entirely until Halloween was over, I’d be just as happy
This really marbles my hornets if you catch my drift.
Man look how far you guys came it’s been years and I been along for the ride you guys have been my favorite TH-camrs and I’m glad you guys are awesome excited to see what you guys do next
The Suzanne Somers bit killed me
“It ends where it all began.”
World 1-1?!
Watching you guys is a great birthday present.
This Halloweenfest was great. Sad to see it end.
"Everyone's gangster til Slenderman starts Yodelling"
thanks Johnny now i have the image of Slenderman in German Lederhosen XD
28:47 Slenderman heard them talking mad shit lmfao.
29:13 while it may not be grass, I think Ted would enjoy these graphics right here
good I remember that.....I kinda wanna see SGB play that first Slender game again...
The 2nd final boss in Sonic Superstars is a horrific experience to be sure
28:50 That wasn't a scare, that was just Slender going in to take a deuce. He was even reaching for the handle, let the tall boi take a twosie in peace.
"Find me Lauren"
She can't, Elliot ditched her.
Hell of a sendoff to Halloween Fest 2023. Cant wait till next year's, and I really enjoyed the new format
Halloweenfest 2024, it'd be cool to see you play Outlast if you haven't already
Honestly, I just wanna see Johnny play Parasite EVE.
That was good HalloweenFest and I am glad SGB is back ❤❤❤
And Thus Slendy returns.
I think The Slender Man is starting to make a mild comeback nowadays. I'm starting to see more stuff about him on the internet.
When it comes to the Slender games, (the few decent and good ones), with the premise of "dont look at him to close" and for years and I mean years people would say "hey I think I saw slenderman to the left" and of course they look to the left. It always makes me laugh like how did that even happen? If your goal to survive is to not look at hte monster, people do hte opposite.
Hopefully, Next year will have "World of Horror" for halloween fest
Excellent choice
I want to see that comedy movie idea now
Charlies missing poster looks fucked up.
Doesnt look like a shitpost Elliot anymore.
Simple, they're Nintendorks, I say as someone who grew up with the Genesis. Bart's Nightmare was not easy for my child self
seems like this overhaul kinda ruined the feel of the game imo, it’s way too bright. like that part with the little burnt dude running around in the corn field, (around 50:30) you could barely see him in the original. but here, there he is just cruising around
and the first level with the 8 pages, you can see like, *perfectly,* aside from when elliot went inside the building
idk, it’s strange
Johnny's gonna have to do Sonic Boom before Superstars
Or Frontiers
I need a duo Greg
and Johnny Let’s Play immediately
Comes full circle
So the reason Slender sends you to the next chapter without all 8 pages is because Elliot is playing on easy mode.
I enjoyed this halloweenfest a lot. I hope you do it again next year.
glad to know I'm a veteran discount applicant cuz man I remember watching slender and slender the arrival years ago when i was in middle school
Oh no, it begins lol
This halloween fest returned with a vengeance and it was great.🎃
Id be down for amanda the adventurer and its sequel when it comes out aswell
(Also i dont remember when i started sgb but i remember silently watching all the way back in kh2 so i might not get the veteran's discount so im almost there damn it)
FAITH should also be finished aswell
Bad news: due to inflation, Slender Man now want $26!
I am a veteran. I applied for the veterans discount, I can put that down in my resume.
It's Zorbin Time
17:59 Who wants to tell him about Poppy's Playtime?
Fuck that game, ESPECIALLY its creators.
🎶Happy Happy Halloween, Silver Shamrock ☘🎃🎶
_Turn it OFF..._
Amanda would be pretty good lol
This maybe the wrap up but I would love to see a full play through of faith. (Regardless of how short)
Phasmophobia, Amanda the Adventurer
Man this is quite the call back, what's next Super Mario Blue twilight?
great Halloween Fest guys! here's to many more fun times to come, and Happy Halloween to all!
Veteran’s discount!
Technically, they can play Sonic Superstars because Tails Doll is in it
Where does the line start for the SGB Veteran's application?
I've been here since SGB was used for just reviews on SomecallmeJohnny, does that mean I can get a free coffee?I
Oh and merry Samhain sinners.
Contrary to popular belief- halloween is not the scariest holiday. Thinking of new years traffic and christmas in retail I shudder to think that maybe we should keep going with Halloweenfest
Halloween is creepy, but the build up to the holidays is true horror
Of course it is 🤣🤣🤣
Matt's constant mention of Sonic Superstars, seems awfully familiar to a certain someone's constant phrase mention in the Link to the Past LP, eh? (Even funnier, He's the one that finds Matt's mention unfunny. My, how far we've come lol)
Great Halloweenfest guys! Likely the best one yet. A ton of choices for games to continue, probably not seen until next October rolls around but no biggie. Also can't wait for the old LPs to return, with Greg added on for extra hilarity~
October do be Elliot month
Called it in the previous video, I said Slender would be the final game.
55:44
Ugh, speakin of someone not understanding how a game works, almost 10 years ago, I was on a skype call with a couple I was friends with, and the girlfriend was playing a game, I forgot which one, but I had played it before, and she was somewhere right after the end of the tutorial stuff, and in the area she was in, she kept trying to get to a ledge that you cant actually access until later in the game when ya get a certain upgrade to move an object to act as the platform needed to get on the ledge, and after like, 30 minutes of me telling her that she cant get to it until later, she got all mad saying the game was shit because "if she's able to access the area with the ledge NOW, then she should be able to get to the ledge NOW" and she rage quit the game and never played it since. Ugh, I'd hate to see her play a Metroidvania
I'd like to apply for my Senior Club Card.
I'm totally cool with it doing nothing, I'd just like to have it.
Maybe then my mom would be proud of me.
Happy Halloween everyone.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HALLOWEEN!
So what about Sonic 06?
I wonder if they’ll ever finish Slender Elementary
You guys should do a let's play on the rest of FNaF
How about more Castlevania? I'd love to see you play either version of 64...
I only got to play it for the first time recently, and I thought Legacy of Darkness was way more enjoyable than I was ever led to believe. I imagine an LP would just lambast it, though :/
Happy Halloween, Gentlemen! 🎃👹☠️
Not a Halloween related comment, but I hope you guys do a Let's Play on PaRappa the Rapper one of these days, that would be fun!
Applying for SGB Veteran's Discount
ngl, the sound design in the factory and hearing footsteps back and forth between the left and right channels REALLY fucked with me lol. I couldn't imagine what it would sound like playing it knowing something is following. Especially on the first playthrough when you don't know that there is only one girl stalking you.
I want to see both Left 4 Dead games LPd
But real talk, next year..... can you guys do sonic superstars?
Tears of the Kingdom would not be 50-60 hours without side content, lol. If you literally just do the main story and dungeons it's probably like a 15 hour game or less.
I'm definitely down with the 13 days of Halloween games, however I do find it a bit iffy when some games aren't finished, I do hope some of these games get continued and finished in the future.
