So, has anyone here ever seen Marble Hornets? It's a web series that features the Slender Man, a mysterious, malevolent, faceless figure with disproportionately long limbs dressed in a business suit. It's best described as "minimalist horror." Half the time you'll be asking yourself "what's going on?" Half the time, those questions won't be answered. And it's terrifying.
Anyway, Marble Hornets is named after the student film that one of the characters attempted to make before the Slender Man got involved. One of his friends takes the tapes off of his hands and starts reviewing them after he leaves. From that point on, horror ensues.
It's a really great watch if you like being scared, and there are a few other web series and blogs that deal with the Slender man. A bit of information is needed on him, so these three blogs and this TV Tropes article should give you some background you need. I personally have developed what can only be called an obsession, because I believe that the Slender Man is, essentially, the internet's first legitimate myth. It's like a new Boogieman or Baba Yaga being created before our eyes.
