Okay, so Slender Man is this new(-ish) urban legend that came about from an online photo-manipulation contest. Competitors were supposed to take an ordinary photo and make it kinda creepy. One guy put a very tall man-thing in the background, in the shadows, wearing a black suit, and created a backstory for the anomaly that would soon become The Slender Man. An entire Internet meme was born from this one set of photos, and let me just say that it was creeeeepy. I'm a little bit behind in the times, apparently, because I guess this isn't a new thing; I found out about it on a forum I'm a member of, but it's a few years old.
That's one of the original photo-manips. Notice the tall, faceless figure in the background. That's right: You never see his face. Ever. Because apparently, he doesn't have one. But he does have these freakin' crazy Dr. Octopus tentacle things that come out of his back to help him catch people. And they're
stretchy! So are his arms.
Anywho, MarbleHornets on YouTube started releasing videos on their page. It started with an introduction, and became a documentary. A creepy, creepy documentary. Well, it's actually a "mockumentary," because it's completely fictional, but still. Anyway, I like it enough to share it with you people! Check it out! Right now, there are about 35 videos, but each one is only about two minutes long (with a few rare exceptions), and they're amazzzing.
Oh, by the way...it's best to watch the videos late at night. When you have to go outside soon...by yourself. :)
