Slenderverse: A Documentary Film Series documents Slender Man’s rise as an independent horror icon, and fall to the status of a dangerous internet meme, telling the dramatic history of the independent artists behind the Slenderverse movement.
The three film series reveals the history of the Slender Man and the community surrounding him through interviews with internet horror creators, extensive live action reenactments, and exclusive archival content.
I. Building the Slenderman (117m)
II. An Artistic Movement (110m)
III. The Rise and Fall of Slenderman (122m)
In 2009, Slender Man sparked a revolution in independent online creation and spawned a legacy that inspires artists to this day. On the surface, the Slenderverse appeared to be an interconnected mythology of independent art projects, but unbeknownst to the general public, creators congregated under the umbrella of the private ‘Slenderverse Creators’ community.
Interviews were conducted with 19 creators who had been involved with or inspired by the Slenderverse movement. Re-enactments and narrative sequences further illustrate this story.
