I honestly have no idea how Blair Witch can be incorporated into the Mythos other than the found-footage POV aspect. Maybe very MINOR similarities relating to horror themes.

I'm sure it is an inspiration and joke to many creators.

I'm pretty sure 90% of all myths involve kids getting abducted from creepy places. That's basically what myths are for - to make kids scared of being murdered, because apparently that's not scary enough on its own.

Slenderman did not exist at the time.

Im not sure about you but that seems like a pretty good pointer towards it not being about slendy.

The fact that some people believe in the myth going back centuries shouldn't totally be taken in a negative manner. We should at least feel proud that we've established something of this magnitude.

Sorry... but... "Der Ritter" just means a Knight in German. The image that gets splashed on Slender-wikis everywhere is a photoshop of a plate from a German prayer book called Der Todten-Tantz. The point of the book was that everyone faces death eventually and there was plate after plate of images of people fighting death, or walking with death, or death observing them.

The one you are familiar with is the one where The Knight fights Death. Some enterprising horror creator took those images and 'shopped them up to give the Death figure more legs, etc. So he looks more supernatural.

Here is the original: Original Der Ritter

And just for fun here's another one that has been shopped into a Slender-image a couple times: Death takes a kid
