The Slender Man is the most terrifying ghost story I've ever heard.

[Easton Dark]

Yay Splendorman!

I wuv him so.

 

[ZombieGenesis]

I will say this though.

The "Marble Hornets" videos?

Fucking scary.

 

[The SettingSun]

Christ on a bike, he scares me too.

Although me and a friend have arguments about which is scarier- him, or the gnome seen in Argentina. O.O

Lmao, i can't believed they launched a full scale police investigation into the Gnome. What I don't understand is why nobody goes up to it. Sure I'd be freaked out by a moving Gnome but if I was with friends I'd probably approach it. It doesn't look dangerous at all.

 

[Kair]

It's not fake. The slender man wants you to think it's fake.

Just look behind you.

He isn't there.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Well talking about his existence isn't helping. He will find you if you keep discussing him so quit while you're ahead.

He's not Candlejack, he's Slender Man, get it rig

 

[Deathninja19]

This video is hilarious but it makes the whole thing a lot less scary if you watch it:

Nah, he's right. Part of the mythology is that if your scared of the Slenderman, he comes to you. He feeds on your paranoia.....

I really don't get how this is scary. At all. I tried watching the "documentaries", but B-movie horror tends to bore me.

You're right there... for a horror series thats only on youtube, its cleverly done and can infact be very tense at times! Personally I don't find Slenderman scary but rather fascinating. I have done my research on him and I have to hand it to the people who made him up because as far as internet myths go the Slenderman is a good ghost story.

 

[Arsen]

It's kind of cool, but at the same time for children who grew up in the 2000's and haven't read any real horror stories.

 

[Grabbin Keelz]

The first time I noticed him was brilliant. It was one of the original pictures I think.

Basically, someone posted that, and I didn't notice him for the longest time. Then when I saw it, it scared the absolute shit out of me. It's one of the best myths around, in that regard. Perhaps it would have been better if he were more human like, to accentuate the uncanny, but nonetheless, it was well done.

YOU SON OF A *****! i was finally kinda starting to get the mental image out of my head, and you post that, you sir have ruined my nights sleep, i hope your proud of yourself

Maybe he's just chaperoning the kids and making sure noone gets hurt, I mean none of the kids seem too freaked out by him. I'm sure he's an alright guy once you get to know em

Define real horror stories. Lovecraft? King? Poe? The problem with horror is that it can be very subjective.

I'm in the same position as you, interested in a modern horror icon. I don't find the idea of slenderman very scary, but that series does it justice.
One thing I will say against it though- much too long. It drags out the 'real events' and kind of turns into a TV series around the half way point. Would have been scarier cut to about 10 episodes, mostly regarding the original footage.

I totally agree there! It seems to move from good to bad like a rollercoaster, but luckily when it is good it keeps you interested. And I still love seeing the Slenderman in it just because he is just how I had imagined in my own head!

I just find it hilarious how well they keep the act up, not just in the videos but in regards to the channel and the schedule, not to mention 'tothearks' videos.
And then they link to the DVD, with the bloopers and deleted scenes! Hah.

I think once they're all up I'll download them, and do some copious editing. I think there's a really decent movie in all this, with a few... extractions.

Thats really not a bad idea!! The whole thing has even inspired me to create a similar project for my media production in college. Although I've got to keep it less than like 20 minutes so I'm going to try and create a shorter version but try my best to make it my own.

My suggestion? Either a more concise version of this premises, investigating lost footage etc, or make a documentary about it Because let's face it, the ones on YouTube are awful and have bad acting.

I think once all the vids are up I could tweak some of the less convincing stuff out. In one episode they literally have Slenderman standing outside a window- in broad daylight! Not very subtle.

I was thinking of some sort of documentary actually. I'd love to try and add a horror aspect to a factual programme haha! And I would most likely re create the footage because like you said; the acting at times is pretty poor...
