Instead of a true crime event influencing pop culture, today's episode is about a pop culture phenomenon inciting a true crime event. The Slenderman was originally posted to a creepypasta forum as an entry to a Photoshop contest in 2009 and has grown in popularity ever since. The character spawned multiple video games, fan art, various backstories, and even a movie. It was also the impetus for two 12-year-old girls in Wisconsin to stab their friend so they could become "proxies" to the Slenderman. We cover everything from the character to the crime and more in this spooky late-night episode.
