They do not own a mannequin. They've been clear on this.


I doubt SideWays has seen the price of mannequins lately.

Whenever a new entry comes out, I start speculating.. The better the entry, the more I think about MH. More speculation=more paranoia. I actually enjoy being paranoid, though. It makes the game more fun.

I wasn't condescending, I was making a point. Damn.

Nope not anymore. While I find the videos creepy as hell, I'm not as paranoid anymore as when I first started watching the entries. The main reason for this is me discovering Troy blog/youtube + involvement in this forums. I can't be scared of the operator because I know Troy made him, and how can I be scared of something made up by this:



:I This makes me more frightened of the series. If that's the face that Jay was making when he stole Alex's keys, no wonder he was giving him such a death glare. GAAAAH!

(On the other hand, the forces of evil want me to tumblr that gif. FFffffff)

I know some of you on here say that being on the forums breaks your immersion, but I find that it strengthens mine. If I'm on the forums late at night I get creeped out still. I keep finding Operator symbols around where I live and in the city and when there's a wind gust that moves trees, I get scared. Just the other day I saw a long lengthy skinny shadow and I jumped, only to realise it was the shadow of the lightpole. xD

Any kind of interference with electrical equipment freaks me out.

I hear you there. I'm running off generator power right now and the lights in my room flicker sometimes. Freaks me right out.

I'm not AS scared of Slender Man as I used to be. But I still get paranoid as hell. My door needs to be firmly shut for me to be able to go to sleep now. If I'm out at night alone I get shit scared, especially at my University which has lots of trees and it's own forest.

Hell, even when I go out to smoke on my own at night, any noise is "Slender Man, fuck". Shadows during the day is Slender Man too.

And I still have this even though I know he's not real, and that Marble Hornets isn't real.

It's gotten to the point where the PS2 error screen is scary enough to ruin my day. Or at least for a few hours.

That said, no, I'm no where NEAR as scared of MH as I used to be. Entry 18 was almost literally pants-shittingly scary, even in daytime.

But, I also used to be a paranoid little bastard (still am, but less so), so that may have had an effect on it.

I still love MH for all it's worth, and the funny things Troy and Joseph do effect the immersion of the series as much as an actor in a Hollywood horror film that's also been in a comedy movie. It's not that bad.


I think I have to fully agree with Randoman on this one (sorry to cherrypick from page one, but it was kinda mirror to what I was gonna say anyway, so why repeat it all again?). I'm much less afraid of this stuff than I once was, I think just due to oversaturation, the behind-the-scenes stuff, the forums, and just becoming more aware of Slenderman as 100% manmade.

That said, I'm "much less afraid" not just "no longer afraid." Watching some of these entries at night still frightens the ever-loving bejeezus out of me. Hell, watching the latest TT video this morning in broad daylight still freaked me out at the end (Slenderlunge... *shudder*...) Scary things can still be scary, even when you know how they're made. I can watch all the DVD/BR special features in the world, but horror movies still get my paranoia glands pumping and my heart racing.

I don't think I hate MH for igniting that fear and paranoia, though, or any of the other SlenderARGs for that matter. I thrive on this stuff now, so I don't know if I really could hate it. Razz

I think I won't realize how much Slenderman has affected me until after the big three finally conclude, and I'm left to my own imagination, again.

I think Slenderman has become our (and I'm careful about using our because I'm not exactly sure of everyone's age/views/generation on this forum) boogeyman. Really, I was never afraid of anything that went bump in the night, nor did I believe in any kind of bogeyman or monsters under my bed. Then I discover Slenderman, at age 18, and I finally know what it means to have a boogeyman. Sure, I know he's not real but the fact that he looks like every light post in the dark or that static scares the hell out of me, is enough. And that's my love hate with him. He scares me but he's my boogeyman business suit. <3

That is very much exactly my approach to it too.

I love that he resembles clothes you'd see hanging in the closet in the dead of night. That's pure classic bogeyman. Smile

(I should probably just rearrange my clothes so that suit isn't visible from my bed, though...)

Same thing happened to me, actually. :/ We live in an attic suite with a sloped roof, and instead of a closet we have this sort of lower-roofed area that we can walk right through to the other side. So light comes in from behind, and the way my clothing was hung there actually appeared to be a strangely tilted head atop it every morning when I woke up.

DX I think that if I'd been less entrenched in drawing stupid MH fanart and posting here (the former of which is probably the biggest reason I'm not so afeared) I'd have been poopin' bricks. As it was, I was more amused and made nostalgic about that sort of jump-scare stuff!
