The "Slender Man?"

[Artina89]

I would just watch the "Marble hornets" series. They have woven their own mythos of the "Slenderman" I would also watch the videos fom a youtube user called "totheark" as they post videos in response to a lot of the entries and is definitely interrelated to the "marblehornets" story.

Try looking on the "Something awful" forums. That's where the meme started, as well as a blog series called "JAF" (Just another fool) or something like that.

I must admit the "Slenderman" story is pretty damned good. I would have never have thought that a meme form "Something awful" could have made as big an impact as this. It was part of a thread where people had to make their own creepy myth and the "Slenderman" mythos was the clear winner.

His real name is Stephen Merchant.

haha i always think that when i see Stephen Merchant, he actually is a living representation of slender man, physically, not mentally, because you know.... he doesn't kidnap children etc

I beg to differ, I actually suspect he does kidnap children. It's why his eyes are so large: he's always on the look out for more kids to capture.

Just kidding, I love Smerch, Ricky and the K-man.

Somehow, this makes it even more creepy.

It's a damn good story. What can I say? He's prime horror material, even, i can't believe a full budget film hasn't been made about him yet, And that's a nice way to make it more scary, claiming that belief in him makes him exist, much like what made freddy Krueger scary.

Or at least...we hope it's just a scare technique.

As creepy as Smerch himself?

Smerch, if you're reading this (hey, he did say he bought a PS2 back on XFM), I love you really.

Beyond being a cool horror character, I think it's pretty neat that as a meme, he became a copyright free CYBER-MYTH for people to build on, ala, the Lovecraft mythos - something in which the Slender Man would certainly be a fine fit.
