We both grew up with urban legends that led to sleeplessness, frightening fun with friends, and fear of the dark. These legends vary geographically and the most popular tales change over time as new fears are introduced. Slender Man is a recently developed urban legend that was born on the internet is and, frankly, scary as shit (!!).
BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAAAN?!
Come check out the history of urban legends and the birth of Slender Man with Beauty and the Bitch! This episode covers the forthcoming film featuring Slender Man and the grisly crime that has helped further popularize the legend.
What are your favorite urban legends? How does Slender Man make you feel on a scale of zero to "OH SHIT GET HIM OUT OF HERE, I'LL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN"?
PLUGS:
For some *great* creepy pasta/micro-horror watch "Lights Out" on YouTube
"Marble Hornets" is a YouTube miniseries that centers on Slender Man (it's one of the main sources of the legend).
It Follows - awesome scary movie that's not too scary!
The Nightmare documentary on Netflix about night terrors and sleep paralysis. This movie is scarier than 90% of horror movies!
