Amanda: I love talking about Slender Man, just because it is so unique in the meme space to how it not only transcended internet culture, but like, became a folklore thing. Like, there's so many layers to it.
Ben: In this bonus episode of Endless Thread 's meme Series, we explore one you probably remember reflected through the context of the violence in the woods of Wisconsin — Slender Man as monster, meme and myth. But I definitely grew up with the Bloody Mary myth — saying it, whatever it was, three times in the mirror in the dark and she would appear.
You hear new things about a monster. New ways that they travel from the spirit world into the real world And part of the lore of Slender Man is that, the mere thought of him Ben: Who is responsible for that idea, and for the monster himself? This guy. Ben: These days, Eric Knudsen — A. Victor Surge — is almost as mysterious as the monster itself. He almost never comes out to talk about Slender Man.
You don't know what he wants. What is he doing? Who knows? He's just a force, you know? Host: It's just, he's there. And I think that's kind of what builds into his fear-- or, people's fear of him. Something Awful is where people tend to share anything and everything that could be considered awful. It's a popular place for creepypastas - or horror-related internet stories that get reposted and changed over time.
Ben: Like copypasta, which is a combo of copy and paste, but creepy pasta. And among the creepypasta posts on Something Awful was a creepy Photoshop contest. Amory: And most of the posts were They're kind of creepy. You know, it looks like there's a ghost there, but I can do something creepier than that. You know, I'll just throw this together. And it was literally ten or fifteen minutes of thought. And in the background, the tall figure lurks in the shadows, where your eye might tell you that your mind's playing tricks on you.
Ben: In one picture, there's a line of kids, and Slender Man appears way behind them. In another, kids are on a jungle gym, unaware of Slender Man under the shadow of a tree. Amanda again. Amanda: Slender Man is just how people process fear in the unknown. There was something about these images in the story that Victor Surge created that really grabbed-- people gravitated to it. And within a week, a group of kids from the U. And the way that Marble Hornets iterated on these original photos and then built a whole new set of lore, like, that is to me the most fascinating, dramatic piece of it.
Ben: So, this is entry 18 in the Marble Hornets series. People on Reddit say it's one of the spookiest. A character is shining a flashlight in a dark house and comes across an unclothed Slender Man doll. Amory: And he shines his flashlight on this figure with a white-painted face and black painted eyes. And then, the figure lunges forward and the camera person drops to the floor. Ben: This is p.
Like, dawn of YouTube video quality stuff here. It's got this Blair Witch found-footage aesthetic. Amory: This particular entry has almost 2 million views, and there are 90 more of them, all with similar view counts.
Ben: The film school student at the heart of this crazy successful Slender Man fan-fic video art catalogue is Troy Wagner — also a big fan of that Something Awful forum, who saw the original Slender Man images, and the additional images they were spawning. He liked them. Everything was thrown around frantically. On the wall infront of us was a drawing of a tower, and it was circled several times, it was drawn in red. Right next to it, also written in red, were the words AerinDeer28 comics.
Slender Man and other creepypasta characters. Why Slender is the way it is. I've listened to the Slender background music max intensity. The resulting panics led to countless false confessions and over 20 executions.
The same could probably happen here. The teen, who had a history of mental illness, was obsessed with the character. The lack of detail in this and the previous case points more towards mental illness than anything else.
Slenderman, then, became the a focus for a mania that forced these girls to act out violently. Thus far, no more reports of Slenderman-related violence have surfaced. The creators and maintainers of the mythos are adamant about their disapproval. I attempted to contact him for this story, to no avail.
He is a new villain, a new scapegoat, and a new demon. Thankfully, no one has yet been killed in his honor. The year-old Wisconsin victim is recovering and doing well. We simply cannot put into words how grateful we are for the prayers, packages and heartfelt messages.
We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support. It also included after much persistence a stop for a much-deserved treat in the snack area. Knudsen, for his part, stopped development of the character a few years ago.
Deformities cited as film defects by officials. Fire at library occurred one week later. Actual photograph confiscated as evidence. The Slender Man is a supernatural creature that is described as appearing as a normal human being but he is described as being 8 feet tall and he has vectors or extra appendages that are described to be as sharp as swords. The creature is known to stalk humans and cause many disappearances. He is described as a shadow creature that has missing a face.
A Diamond Sword is one of the sharpest weapons in Minecraft, Slenderman states that he doesn't need it to spit some sharp raps, unlike Herobrine who's holding an iron sword.
One of Herobrine's first appearance was in a Brocraft livestream where the streamer changed his vision to short render distance, making Herobrine appears.
It also refers to a reddit post that talked about Herobrine, where the player could only see him if they turned on short render distance. Slenderman says that Herobrine is a coward by how he doesn't want the player to see him completely and clearly while Slenderman can be seen from far away and he could still kill people even if they can see him from far away.
Slenderman doesn't have eyes nor hair, yet he still sees everything in front of him. In the Slenderman games, if you look at him for long enough your screen will go static and you will die.
There's no need for me to fight, you were removed by Notch! With every new updates, Notch would troll players by adding the message "-Removed Herobrine", but this was just Notch partially removing the human mob's essential code, making it unspawnable within Minecraft. Herobrine tells Slenderman that he isn't real and just a tale while Herobrine will be haunting through the games of Minecraft and killing people.
Herobrine compares Slenderman to Michael Jackson, a white and tall person, but Herobrine states that Slenderman skin is even more pale than Jackson's after surgery.
Herobrine says that Slenderman is just a joke of The Internet and he doesn't exist in any way, shape or form while Herobrine has been granted with the power to live for eternity and being the true mascot of Minecraft. Herobrine says that people are scared of him and they would either try to kill him or run away. Minecraft is a pixelated-like game, with everything made out of cubes, even the characters like Steve or Herobrine.
