[–]AidenKaulitz 6 points7 points ago

Oh that's cool, I didn't want to sleep tonight anyway. Thanks Slenderman.

Slides used to be 15 feet tall and steel. Now they're like four feet tall and textured plastic. Not even smooth plastic, but textured plastic. Slides don't slide anymore.

[–]CaptainNirvana 3 points4 points ago

Hats the most horrific thing about the post.

[–]ArsonWolf 2 points3 points ago

Oh, hello there, Mr. Slender man. Oh no, that's quite alright. I didn't plan on sleeping anyway.

It was a simpler time for the nightmare people in 1954 Ohio.

[–]tekrat 1 point2 points ago

I haven't seen one of those since I played Minecraft.

SLENDER MAN

Slenderman showed me his penis dance...

[–]lordmagus 0 points1 point ago

Didn't this "slender man" character come from some youtube mini series?

[–]urutapu 3 points4 points ago

He was actually originally made up on a Something Awful thread. Pretty sure this is the very first photo they made.

[–]AidenKaulitz 0 points1 point ago

Yes, the Marble Hornets videos. However they derived the character from an assortment of other things on forum posts. It is said his character originated from an old German myth that parents used to tell their children to keep them in line. But there's almost no validity to it. However, as an American with German heredity, I can vouch for it. My grandfather told me a story similar to the alleged pre-Slenderman myth. Basically he was the Boogeyman for German kids.

[–]lordmagus 0 points1 point ago

Ah, does clarify quite a bit. Thank you.

[–]GoochMcScrotes -3 points-2 points ago

What I heard is that some college kids made it up as a prank and ended up using it for some documentary class and then it just got out of hand from there.

[–]sociallyawkwardjett 0 points1 point ago

Slendy likes to scare the shit out of my ex. He chased her under a car last time, causing power outs along the chase. As for me, I just greet him and let him be when I spot him around

[–]wtfil 0 points1 point ago

I have an excellent friendship with Splendorman. We party hardy when he's around.

[–]CreepOnCreep 0 points1 point ago
