Official Slender Thread!

Slender has been consuming my life for the last two weeks, it is a great game to play with friends and it has become very popular, right as it starts to get old and unscary they release a new version that makes me more in fear than ever! What do you have to say about Slender and its' many versions and stories?

This would be much better fitted in Off-topic since you seem to want to discuss purely Slender.

Those two links will give you a nice read, Personally I really like his stories it' one of my favourite creepy stories.

I've been getting sucked into Amnesia lately, but got recommended Slender by a couple of friends. Still have to play it, looks promising from what I've gathered on youtube!

What is this new version that you speak of?

[Malckeor]

Great game. I've gotten to seven pages many times, but Slendy always gets me. The newest version can always be found here.

I have to say, I'm just echoing something that others have been saying around the internet, but the idea of the Slender Man going mainstream scares me a bit. Just imagine, a few years down the line... "Dude, have you seen that webseries Marble Hornets? It's crazy that they made an entire horror series based on an indie game!" ...Oh god.

The "Big Three" Slender Man vlogs:

Marble Hornets, the series that made Slendy's popularity skyrocket. Start at "Introduction."

Tribe Twelve, another amazing Slender Man vlog. Start at "Introduction: In Memory of Milo Asher."

And there you have it. If you want more, check out the Unfiction Slender Man Mythos forums to find a bunch of less-known vlogs. CaughtNotSleeping is probably the best trailhead I've seen so far.

I've only watched PewDiePie (a Youtube celeberty) play Slender, and I love his reactions. I've yet to play the game myself
