Slendyman brought back with a vengeance the Lovecraftian and uncanny horror to the normies who back then pretty much just thought most horror was about goofy ahh serial killers, vampires and zombies, or Exorcist ripoff stories.
Times were much simpler when Slenderman was at the peak of his popularity and many of us were convinced that there really was a spooky tentacle monster lurking around in forests.
Another real life connection: The Native American spirit connected to Slenderman is known as Walking Sam, Stovepipe Hat Bigfoot, Big Man or the Tall Man Spirit ¹ ². Walking Sam is a part of the folklore of the Dakota and Lakota people and is said to be the spirit of a man over 7 feet tall with a lean figure and no mouth who roams the streets at night ¹ ². The legend of Walking Sam has been linked to a number of teen suicides on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota ¹ ².
I remember seeing the Slenderman Stabbings in the news and getting scared because of the footage they used, also the Eight Pages game really fucked me up, crazy to think this was peak horror at a time lol
while the slenderman movie was garbage, i feel like the bad timing of release really dragged it down alot too :( it was filmed before the Leutner case and had to be postponed because of it, the slenderman "hype" had definitely dissipated by then 😭
I woke up and I got fresh as hell on a Monday I can't go to Hell, I went to church last Sunday Last Tuesday, I met a model on a runway She said she want to run away with me and hit the highway
slenderman having connections with japanese conflict and noise music is most insane thing to discover
Suddenly I'm 10 again and screaming while playing 8 pages

If the paid slenderman game focused on actually solving a case with evidence and leads I think it would have done much better.
it was wasted potential because the style and graphics were cool, but alas its to late.

Jokes aside, Great video Mads!!
the ß in Der Großmann is pronounced as an "ss" sound, which the word also has an alternative spelling that shows it more in the word "Der Grossmann".
