There's just something about a good scary story.
An eerie silence that is often followed by a good jump scare really gets the blood moving and it doesn't matter if it is in a movie theater, around a camp fire, or the comfort of our own homes; some people love to be scared.
Like many stories we've told in this miniseries, today's was born on the internet. From the depths of the Something Awful forums a tall, thin, faceless entity was born. A monster of our own creation frightened us as we bathed in the warm glow of our computer monitors until one day... when its dreadfully long limbs reached into reality.
Welcome to Pop Culture Legends, a Digital Dissection Miniseries! Today's episode is about the modern myth known as Slender Man. A terrifying being that was made up as a modern ghost story and entertained horror fans around the globe until one tragic day in Wisconsin -- when its terror became all too real.
