The Slender Man Mythos

[Cain]

A modern day, Lovecratian-esque horror, propagated via the net in a manner similar to Zalgo, only with a lot less humour and lot more insanity, paranoia and shit-bricking horror.

Yeah, MarbleHornets is definitely some of the horrific (cf. Roger's definition of horror) shit I have ever seen.

That's pretty cool... we should help propagate it. Kudos to the kids who started it!

I thought that I had come up with this monster when I was on vacation with some friends, only to find a mythology behind him online once I got back out of the woods.
THE MORE YOU LEARN ABOUT THE SLENDER MAN THE MORE LIKELY HE IS TO COME AFTER YOU.

Tape #7 of Marble Hornets sent a bit of a shiver up my spine.

Apparently, this all originated (as in, Slender Man himself, not necessarily the rest of the mythos) on the SomethingAwful forums.

"Slender:  The Lurkening" in 5...4...3...

Marble Hornets gets pretty intense from about episode 14 in.  Just finished watching it all, cant say I expected it to finish any other way, really.

[Jasper]

I watched it too.  I was hoping the Slender Man himself would pick up where Marble Hornets left off, posting hilariously lame video blogs about how he goes about his days wondering why people don't like him.

I probably couldn't direct a horror film to save my own life.

Got two left on your list to get through, Cain. Interesting stuff, I must say. I think once I get through this list, and the list I have compiled of various others sources, mostly from Seeking Truth's comments, I may begin the process of starting my own...

I loved the Marble Hornets series. So woderfully creepy and paranoia inducing. I particularly enjoyed them after some pot, but YMMV. Watching while tired also seemed to up the spine shivers for me.

[Cain]

Early morning lail:

After watching the series until about midnight, then going to sleep, I am woken up this morning by a shadowy figure opening my apartment door.  My first words?  "G' way slen'er man, tryin' t' sleep here".

It was probably just the cleaner though, coming to kill me in my sleep because the Kazakh boys are poor poker players and even poorer losers.

[Jasper]

Awesome.

They did, and while some of the images are ok as was the concept overall they made it one of the most annoying projects I have ever seen. Don't trust goons with stuff.

Oh look, there's a TVTropes page for this.

Did they run it into the ground on the boards then?  I can see that happening very reasily.
