Since people don't seem to get it I'll point it out.

Fat Man was the name of one of the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan. This user's name is AtomicBubblez.

There isn't anything on the internet that creeps me out more than slenderman

[–]stripedsuit 4 points5 points ago

Well... I geus im not sleeping tonight

[–]ASexyNarwhal -1 points0 points ago

Chill. He only goes after the kiddies.

[–]ViridianEmpire 3 points4 points ago

Apparently you don't know your lore

Edit: I'm just saying because of people who see him, or summon him through the operator symbol

[–]Cralineleader 2 points3 points ago

...And then he goes after kids.

[–]ASexyNarwhal 0 points1 point ago

Apparently, you're ignorant to the context of my comment. It's a common legend that he hunts children, unless bothered by the people who see him or a summoning, as you put.

[–]ViridianEmpire 0 points1 point ago

Dude I'm just saying he goes after more than just children, but you're right the legend states that children are the primary target

[–]ASexyNarwhal 0 points1 point ago

And I was just stating that you failed to realize exactly what I said.

[–]PShireman 0 points1 point ago

Really? I don't know why but he has never been that scary to me. Regan on the other hand....

[–]backitup 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, I don't even know why. I think its because he lurks in the background, and things lurking around ANYWHERE always gets me. Shiverrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[–]stoned_kitty 0 points1 point ago

Are you at all nervous at how many people lurk on Reddit then?

[–]backitup 1 point2 points ago

Nahhh, just the ones lurking in dark corners. Reddit lurkers are as dangerous as a cotton ball.

[–]DudeManroddd 0 points1 point ago

I'm too lazy to remember who Regan is

[–]PShireman 0 points1 point ago

William Peter Blatty ring a bell?

[–]DudeManroddd 0 points1 point ago

Nvm I was being an idiot.

[–]army-of-none 24 points25 points ago

You bastard. I thought I had permanently forgotten about Slenderman.

No need to be scared, all you have to do is...

"Return the god damned slab, Eustace!"

[–]JudgeFudge123 2 points3 points ago

That episode always scared the shit out of me.

[–]georgerdz5000 0 points1 point ago

FUUUUUUCK THIS EPISODE! NO NO NO NO NO NO.

[–]Greenstrawipod 25 points26 points ago

SLENDERMAN!

[–]evylknutz 16 points17 points ago

Theres a series online that is way beyond creepy. Very well executed, gave me nightmares . I'm sure you guys have seen it. The Marble Hornets. Start from Introduction and wall all the entries. A definite watch at night. http://www.youtube.com/user/MarbleHornets

[–]Lightning_Boy 1 point2 points ago

Also recommended is EverymanHYBRID and TribeTwelve.

[–]LevitatingFridge 0 points1 point ago

I've seen Marble Hornets (i skimmed) and Tribe Twelve, but not EverymanHYBRID. Out of the ones I've seen, TribeTwelve was by far the scariest.

[–]DalekCaek 10 points11 points ago

SILENCE WILL FALL.

[–]Cus_Im_A_Timelord 1 point2 points ago

too bad everyone has to fight the urge to kill them when they see the silence now...

[–]DalekCaek 1 point2 points ago

Gee, I wonder which species was responsible for that.

[–]Fathellcatbbq 9 points10 points ago

You asshole, I just forgot about him.

[–]smashathehulk 1 point2 points ago

Slender man only stalks children the pedo. The shadows who stalk you in the night don't discriminate against age

[–]DrDWayneLove 0 points1 point ago

He only takes children, but he isn't kind to those he feels are in his way.

[–]smashathehulk 0 points1 point ago

Well don't get in the way of a pedo, only ever ends badly...lmao I just imagined someone in a pedo bear outfit chasing him lol

[–]Sizzalness -1 points0 points ago

I thought the rake only took children. Slenderman did whatever he felt

[–]smashathehulk 0 points1 point ago

The rake?

[–]Simi566 8 points9 points ago

GUYS!!!! It's just Howard Stern!

[–]bl1nds1ght 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit I have to go here right now... will report back with findings....

[–]smashathehulk 3 points4 points ago

No you won't, he'll stalk you till he gets you and you'll never return. I wonder if he's the evil cousin of the shadow people. They are very timid

[–]scripttease 14 points15 points ago

Goddamnit... Really wanna view the link, but it's lighting and thundering. Pass on not sleeping tonight. :( Down vote for being a scared 23 yr old girl in Texas. I've heard of the Slenderman

[–]spgtothemax 1 point2 points ago

Good man, it's quite pants-shittening, especially because there are maybe legit photos, maybe, if you click the link...

[–]Ratmbeyach 1 point2 points ago

I agree with you, raining like crazy over here and I dont want to change my sheets again. Noooo thank you.

[–]Colin5789 1 point2 points ago

Thank you. I needed that.

[–]Djam_3 0 points1 point ago

I've never head of Slenderman but I'm scared to click the link.... What do I do?

[–]DrDWayneLove 9 points10 points ago

Don't do it. Some people it doesn't bother, but to a lot - me included - it is more than your usual bump-in-the-night horror movie character. Some things scare me. Make me walk a bit faster when out alone at night. Make me check behind the shower curtain when I walk into the bathroom. Slenderman isn't like that. There is nothing about him that is even remotely believable, or even particularly scary when isolated, but the thought of him fills me with a cold-sweating, neckhair pricking, heart-thumping kind of primordial terror that I have not felt since I was a five year old child with fever dreams. He is not scary. He is fear.

[–]baracudaboy -1 points0 points ago

I legitimately masturbated to this.

[–]smashathehulk 0 points1 point ago

I'm hoping to the slender man not the images of children

[–]baracudaboy 0 points1 point ago

All of it.

[–]Odubj 11 points12 points ago

SMOKER

[–]savagehenry1214 3 points4 points ago

What in the entire creepy fucking crap is that

[–]Stupidcomp316 7 points8 points ago

That would be slenderman....google that shit

[–]Djam_3 1 point2 points ago

Ok I'm doing it!

[–]cestrada1997 8 points9 points ago

DON'T DO IT

[–]King_Wonch 2 points3 points ago

Return the slaaab!

[–]SensualBacon 1 point2 points ago

What's your offer?!

[–]JoeOfThePr0n 3 points4 points ago

Why am I the first to identify the slender man?

[–]deromdotcerom 3 points4 points ago

Came here to say that

[–]lexicoykoi[S] 4 points5 points ago

yea i thought everyone would know him by now..hes such a creep c:

[–]sunfeet 0 points1 point ago

Reading "he's such a creep" made me giggle. Now I'm not as afraid. Thanks!

[–]PotatoHoarder 2 points3 points ago

Damn, I was just about to go to sleep

[–]laughingstick 1 point2 points ago

Dont wanna sound like a dick, but I'm helping you not look like a dick by telling you that this has been reposted many times. Dont go there bro.

[–]Cosmocrator 1 point2 points ago

I thought it was about a white girl's face photoshopped onto a black girl's body.

[–]NyanShark 0 points1 point ago

now that you mention it...

[–]JupitersClock 1 point2 points ago

Slenderman is not scary you pussies. He wears a fucking suit he is a god damn gentlemen!

[–]zerocool94 1 point2 points ago

TIL: of slender man, and his innate ability to scare all of the fucks out of me

[–]ukrussian 1 point2 points ago

Does anyone else notice the girl climbing has black arms? ...or a white face...?

[–]holyeffingpoo 0 points1 point ago

Every time I see a post saying "when you see it..."

OOO I LOVE THIS GAME

[–]laurenkillsbabies 0 points1 point ago

Did any one notice his arms are creepy tentacles

[–]smity_smiter 0 points1 point ago

I hope you do know that it's photoshopped. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/slender-man

[–]FallingSlowlyFaster 0 points1 point ago

He scares me, I used to watch Marble Hornets on YouTube a show about the Slenderman until I couldn't go out on the landing at night..

[–]Poitertoip 0 points1 point ago

You mean how the little kid's arm Is black?

[–]KittehInGloves 0 points1 point ago

Slendy :3 I was wondering where you were!

[–]thejmanjman 0 points1 point ago

Lurch?

[–]LetsPlayK 0 points1 point ago

Slenderman isn't that scary to me. I think he is pretty cool looking.

[–]violentsolutions 0 points1 point ago

[–]Corrado910815 0 points1 point ago

The actual fuck? Some alien creature silhouette above the little girl with kids sitting around it....

[–]iceicecat 0 points1 point ago

there are several things wrong with this picture, little girl has a missing arm, boy has a black arm, and octo/human in the background.

[–]Chickenzrck 0 points1 point ago

[–]Tyler8664 -3 points-2 points ago

Why is there an enderman in the park

[–]Midnight_Skye 9 points10 points ago

Slenderman. Enderman do not have tentacles.

[–]VincetheMadMan 4 points5 points ago

Arent endermen based on slenderman?

[–]theangryunicorn 3 points4 points ago

Yes

[–]cheetos03 -1 points0 points ago

Yeah but twice as scary.

[–]Midnight_Skye -1 points0 points ago

Yes, but they share few similarities and there is a huge difference between the two.

[–]darkangel9274 -1 points0 points ago

Minecraft...me gusta

[–]ChromeRadio 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit.

[–]TheSeductress666 0 points1 point ago

Slender Man.....one of those kids will never be seen again....

[–]tomlinsfuckingtophat 4 points5 points ago

[–]TheSeductress666 1 point2 points ago

That could happen too.

[–]cestrada1997 2 points3 points ago

That's an old picture. All the children in the picture have been reported missing.

[–]Lydia_The_Housecarl 0 points1 point ago

I had just started to forget about the Slenderman, a few days ago. Now it looks like I won't be sleeping again anytime soon.

[–]disasterific 0 points1 point ago

Well, that's creepy.

[–]Cyrphix 0 points1 point ago

This haunted my mind for 6 months last year. Thanks OP.. thanks.

[–]clunystationsweet 0 points1 point ago

I can only assume that the child on the slide is attempting to get a way

[–]Abomonog 0 points1 point ago

So we've got Slenderman and a little girl in the bottom right corner who appears to be wearing no pants. A double WTF today.

[–]MtnDewGuy27 0 points1 point ago

It appears that nobody else noticed this. You and i seem to be the only ones.

[–]Abomonog 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, and that is a bigger WTF than Slenderman in the pic.

[–]johnclarkbadass 0 points1 point ago

Shit he's tall

[–]squidflam 0 points1 point ago

Slenderman!

[–]Deadforfun1 -1 points0 points ago

There's a enderman entertaining children?

[–]KSI_Abs7ract 4 points5 points ago

Ahem... (An) Enderman. Proper noun. And it's a Slenderman. Grammar Nazi time.

[–]DavyAsgard 1 point2 points ago

Hes not entertaining them...Hes using his mental powers. He stretches his body to inhuman proportions and puts people into a trance. He can make them do what he wants, but usually he just abducts them, and nobody knows what he does with them afterwards.

[–]tomlinsfuckingtophat -1 points0 points ago

FUCK YOU... whelp no sleep for me

[–]spgtothemax -2 points-1 points ago

Google it, it's horrifying.

[–]DOGFACE100 -1 points0 points ago

dont fuck around about that shit im being followed

[–]RockingRobin -1 points0 points ago

I never understood why people are afraid of Slenderman. His 'legend' was manufactured on something awful years ago and then picked up by 4chan. It was never even really that creepy until that youtube thing kicked in, and then it just got completely retarded. "Oh noes! I can't remember things! Friends are disappeared! Shaky camera work! And scene!"

[–]Cleokitty -2 points-1 points ago

Downvote for scaring me shitless. I was going to go to bed after reading this post, but I guess that's a no....

[–]AnonymousUserOfDoom -1 points0 points ago

Why? ...Just...why?

[–]Mokinko -1 points0 points ago

Looks more like slender woman to me. I don't know it is hard to tell from this distance.

[–]Slayer1973 -1 points0 points ago

It looks like the Thing is about to assimilate some kids.

[–]PulsarExistence -1 points0 points ago

I saw the slide and had an internal commentary from seeing this picture and all the other videos the first time a long time ago. This is before I saw slenderman. My mind - just back out dude, trust me on this one Me- nah I love finding shit in these pict... dammit why did I do that ... I'm turning the lights on now.

[–]edm39c -1 points0 points ago

X-post this to /r/Slender_man. Everyone over there knows about Slendy, but there's probably some over here that don't. More people are likely to understand what they're looking for over there.

[–]MagentaParrot -1 points0 points ago

Slenderman used to scare the shit out of me.

[–]bearbear92 -1 points0 points ago

MOTHER OF FUCK!

[–]MagentaParrot -1 points0 points ago

He was created in a 'Something Awful' forum in a creature contest. He was a contest entry guys, but I'm still looking over my shoulder everywhere I go.

[–]withlovefromjupiter -2 points-1 points ago

[–]toojes -2 points-1 points ago

My first thought: Is that an enderman?!? Minecraft has invaded my life.
