An interesting horror phenomenon which it was formed from a journalistic hoax from a man who had SomethingAwful ties creating the figure known as slenderman. The precursor to this was the now defunct e-zine known as The House of Pain which established in 1994. The guilty party behind The Cabbie Homicide, he in 2006 introduced a creative nonfiction piece called The Pattern of Diagnosis introduced on his own mag and in a Philly based mag in autumn of 2007. The latter compared to the earlier piece was a hope spot in contrast, as this has an eerie personality of it's own often seen as Inspirational though it's eerie atmosphere. Pinned a piece to his personal pinterest account; a creepypasta piece on fanfiction net examining it as it was the size of his cult horror outings going around and his published output. Tampa Bay Times did an interesting article about the phenomenon as they documented a truecrime that happened in Wisconsin that the subjects stabbed a classmate to honor the fictional entity. It's something born out of what is known as fakelore. Where a journalistic hoax meets weird fiction is when you get the creepypasta output. It shows up on wattpad as the author introduced a horror story that deconstructs how teenagers were portrayed in teen dramas and in slasher films as the actors are often older. He in 2006 introduced a dry-witted narrator in a short story called Spectral Exile which is quite gory in nature.
