What started as a fictional internet legend created all in good fun quickly grew to be the catalyst for one of the most horrific crimes of the 21st century. The story of Slenderman is not just the tale of a spooky, otherworldly being with no face and a dapper suit. Slenderman is the amalgamation of everything all of us are afraid of. The epitome of all horror stories, evil lurking in the shadows while innocent children play close by. The void incarnate, if you will.

Join us on this journey as we dive headfirst into this rabbit hole. We promise it will keep you up at night.
