About this episode
In this episode, we're doing something different, and tackling a real-life horror: the Slender Man, the Internet's first boogeyman, the real-life attempted murder it inspired, perpetrated by two girls and the media storm that followed. Writer and broadcaster Louis Blain joins us to discuss the real life case, the ill-advised horror film Slenderman (2018) and the true crime documentary Beware the Slenderman (2016) that followed.
