For those of you who don't know, Slenderman is a mythological creature with no face, who is quite well dressed and likes to kidnap people in the forest. The original story is supposedly based out of Germany, where a "tall thin man" abducts children in the night who run away from home. This myth has morphed into hundreds of youtube videos, several games, and even a few twitter pages. It's creeped out more than a few, and it's fan base continues to grow every day.
Personally, I love this craze. I love the simplicity, and the sketchy factor. Not to mention the games. THE best part in my opinion. Slender: The Eight Pages was the first. It was created by Blue Isle Studios as a free game, and has had thousands of people play it, review it, and create lets plays of it. It's a fabulous indie game, and I do recommend it for all those horror fans out there!

Want to see me actually play the game? Check out my channel for my Slender lets play videos.
And expect a review on the new Slender: The Arrival beta, then game in March.
Oh, and if the games aren't enough, check out Marble Hornets and/or TribeTwelve on youtube. Their videos are AMAZING, love them! And though I haven't watched them (YET), I hear the Dark Harvest ones are excellent as well! The EverymanHybrid ones are definitely also worth a watch! They were the first ones I watched, and were the videos to bring me into the craze, so thanks guys!
That's it for now,
Stay classy internet.
