The Rise And Fall of Slenderman (Ep1) - Inside A Mind

- Опубліковано 18 бер 2018
- The Rise and Fall of Slenderman. Today we're gonna be looking into the Rise and Fall of Slenderman. Talk a little bit of history about the slenderman and how his Rise came to be! Then we'll move onto what we believe to be the fall of the widley meme'd Slenderman.
Slenderman used to be a pretty terrifying creature to many Users who discovered him on the internet. But since his huge leap to the mainstream back in 2012. Slendermans presence has not been the same.
Sony pictures not too long ago released a slender man trailer for a slenderman movie arriving in theatres in August. We thought this would be a good opportunity to look into this topic a little more and find out if it really is a good idea to create a Slenderman movie after it's recent creepy factor decline.

Thank you for the sponsor TecANova.
insideamind429.wixsite.com/tecanovaofficial
Inside A Mind you are the best 🖒
Just got to the spot about TechNova sponsoring the video, SMOOTHEST TRANSITION IN HISTORY
Filled an application for the sponsor my dude!
Inside A Mind Great Video didn't know weather you're going to do some more Televoid as Episode 6 has just been released also I'd love to see an update video on SeventyBroad as that's one of my most favourite episodes and more of the series has been out for a while
The way the sponsorship was portrayed made it seem like it had more to it. Like a ARG or something. Probobly just watched to much of ur vids.
Scary or not Slender Man still went down in internet history as a legend.
Felix He's basically iconic.
A once known horror icon on the internet, now known as a joke. The internet is truly a beautiful thing
Idk why but i think its he's based on kidnapping
I love how a video about a creature captured on camera is sponsored by a security camera company
The Final Space Frontier-ist With the smoothest fucking transition to it too.
EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH
👊😉😏
The Final Space Frontier-ist yeah Jay would be proud
He's a raw potato in a tux
The Theorizer 😦 woah
whatcha doing here?
Oof same
I agree???
Who knew you were the one who ended slender mans career?😅
If Marble Hornets, TribeTwelve, EMH, and other series like them are any indicator, Slendy doesn't care too much if you catch him on camera. Checkmate TecANova.
Lets all agree places like deviantart are the reason why actually creepypastas like Slenderman fell so hard from grace.
I can definitely agree with that from the Slenderman stuff I've seen on there 😂
"More safer" is still a better statement for an ad to make about something than calling a pizza "the extra most bestest"
E Gart wait a minute
5:31
M O R E S A F E R
This flaw in grammar must be apart of the lore (?)
Pffft! My grammar is best!
The Theorizer you need to make a vid about the ad and the website. Something is going on here
The Theorizer so home security ads are also part of the Slenderman lore? Who knew.
The Theorizer I'm kidding ;)
get on that tecanova arg theorizer!
how to speedrun fnaf
order a technova camera
10/10 ad segue would watch again
The Ad transition though 👌😩
The best in the business;)
jamy you... did you really needed to make a slender man video only to talk about your sponsor?
Why yes, yes I did 🙃
God Damn ,this the longuest ad i seen
You mean the greatest ad you've ever seen in your life?
Inside A Mind its a tide ad
Nintendo made a 30 minute advertisment on youtube that shows before videos
maybe there's a reason...
*longest
Creepypasta fandom happen and then Slenderman fell hard on his face(?)
Nekoszowa nah that made him more popular, specifically Mr.CreepyPasta and Creeps Mcpasta. Anything after that was litteraly fanboy-gasms
Nekoszowa get out
The crappy side of creepypasta fandom destroyed Slenderman and actually any other creepypasta character.
Cuz what's better than a sexy serial killer drawn in anime style?
Nekoszowa it was more the slasher category and fan fiction that ruined it
Pretty sure it started with the wikia creepypasta fandom. It's full of 11-13 years old girls after all...
Did Inside A Mind just make his own ARG...?
*clears throat then says a warning on how this video holds the key to start*
Yes.
OH NO TECANOVA
TecANova is a magnificent company full of groundbreaking products at your disposal! We all love TecANova!
this can't be good
That's what i thought after the first mention. The sponsorship survey isn't even convincing (not like it's meant to be since it's just adding hints).
Harold this must be important if your commenting
What's wrong with Techanova?
It's over-saturation of the market, basically.
I'm a *huge* fan of Slender Man myself. IMO, series like Marble Hornets, TribeTwelve, EverymanHYBRID, etc do horror right. You don't see the glut of main characters making decisions so ridiculously ignorant that you basically cheer for them to die in the Slenderverse like you do in Hollywood horror. In the Slenderverse, you could make all the smartest decisions possible, and it doesn't matter. And that's what makes Slender Man so terrifying to me; once you're targeted, that's it. It's over.
Ever since I got into the Slenderverse, I've had an idea for a Slenderverse series that starts out as a review/reaction channel hosted by two brothers, one recently out of a mental home, to various different Slenderverse stories (Marble Hornets, TribeTwelve, EverymanHYBRID, Keratin Gardens, etc... so the entire Slenderverse would be fiction in this series) that would slowly devolve into a typical Slenderverse series (the brother's lives would slowly devolve into hell as they're stalked by a creepy murderous person in a mask), except that it would never actually acknowledge the existence of Slender Man, instead leaving that question open to viewers to answer (the last lines of the series would be "he's not real. He's fiction. ... right?"... and all clues would be ambiguous, so they can be used to answer the question either way). So all clips showing Slender Man at all would come from other Slenderverse series as part of the "reviews/reactions"...
But thanks to the saturation (and the lack of good camera and video editing skills, and the fact that I live in New York while my brother lives in Georgia), I've never really had the motivation to create it. Slender Man is *everywhere* now, to the point that I'm not sure anyone *wants* anymore Slender Man stuff. As for the movie... I want to see it, but I'm going to wait for reviews, first. It's Hollywood, so I don't trust them to treat the material well... but we'll see.
You should still try it! I at least, would watch it.
As someone who's going to norwescon as Hoodie...
Nathan Hevenstone I’ll be honest. That honestly sounds pretty cool.
I agree with ya about over saturation and stuff though.
Nathan Hevenstone: i would so watch it, you should give it ago
i'm a raging fangirl: i am also going as hoodie to the Armageddon expo lol, i live in new zealand so that's really the only con thing we have
Man, I LOVED the story of Slender Man and Marble Hornets when I was going into high school. I wish there was something like that happening again: a type of found footage thriller that has really good writing.
I know I'm 3 years late to this video, but you should check out the Kane Pixels backrooms stuff if you haven't, gives me real Marble Hornets vibes like I haven't had in years.
6:19
Not enough cough-gagging in laugh
The fucking transition from slender man to the technova made me laugh.
five years ago I would have literally turned off the pc if I saw this thumbnail
Just goes to show you how times have changed :)
slender is still one of my favorite creepypastas as he's a great example of cosmic horror a being i cannot comprehend taking an interest in me for god knows what reason the natural human reaction is to be afraid
I hate this lol. I'm afraid right now, even though I know this entire thing is fake. I'm such wuss.
jouta kujo SlenderMAN!!
I like Slender Man because he reminds me of something of Lovecraft mythos. He is cosmic horror. Unknown, No Explanation, Beyond Human Understanding, and drives those who see him Mad. Lovecraft brand of horror is so great in my opinion. I read him at night to relax, and sometimes to be afraid. I love his writing, his stories. It's an awesome idea that the human mind is covered by a thin veil, like an island in the ocean. And what's beyond can drive you completely insane. I love it.
jouta kujo I’d have though it was made by lovecraft
1.He's not originally a creepypasta.
2.I don't see how he's cosmic.
Sony already knows about my security system. They still keep getting in! The system notifies me but only so it can automatically upload the video to UA-cam. Also it no longer calls 911, instead it call Cthulhu. And boy does he never shut up! I don't get it!!
b'eco' o'n wi't the el'er g'ds
Finally, we been waiting for like a day Inside a mind, great video anyway, and sweet gif
Haha my video got demonetized just as I was about to hit public yesterday lol
Inside A Mind UA-cam got to scared of your memes lol 😂
This creepy pastas always make me wonder who owns the IP of slender man and other internet creatures, does the person that made the original post have any legal ownership or does the fact that you posted it on the internet as a story in the hopes of becoming an urban legend make you give up the rights to the idea, I mean a major Hollywood movie is being made and someone is gonna get payed.
Well the creator of the original Slenderman post is actually a writer in this Hollywood movie. But you are right, it's a tricky one to establish full rights to something you post on the internet :/
You'd think with the original writer on set the movie wouldn't have sucked.
Warlord_1777 Sony probably didn’t give him much to do they just wanted him to have credit so he wouldn’t try and sue later. Sony was probably sure great idea. Turns around and does this movie instead
@@InsideAMindInsideAMind Hmm I think the legal copyright is much more different for Slenderman as the being we are mostly thinking of is the one comprised as a mix of Marblehornets and the original Slenderman….
My question is if the writer got credit for the game. If not then it might be under free use (The character not the story... this is how Fanfics and Fanart stay alive is thanks to free use...)
just here to say the people who wrote the script to the movie and did the rest of the work are getting the paycheck for that movie. should the original get a part the only part really played here is creating the concept of slenderman but a lot of work goes into creating a film im not sure how it should go tbh. what % would you want
I can sit here and tell you how great your content is. Very detailed histories that you make very easy to follow and understand and still keep it all very intriguing. But, I'd rather tell you how amazing your transitions into your sponsor are. Hilarious.
I still think he's one of the best mythos out there, never let fandoms take something away from ya~
Oh I still think Slenderman will go down as one of the greats.
Very, very interesting channel. I will have to binge soon
"The Oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is the fear of the unknown"

This reminds me of your deleted video of slenderman, loved that video I’m sure I’ll love this one too!
I'm planning to actually remake that one :) 'Slender: The Arrival' right? It included a few other people in the video who no longer want to be in it, so had to remove it.
Inside A Mind what a shame you had to delete it, I really loved it. I’m actually really happy you’re gonna remake it now
By the way I love all of your vids and if you suggest a horror I know I have to watch it.
Hell yeah man. Greatest ad transition of all time 👍
Love slenderman, but most the things have been done, story has been told... what is there left for the poor guy?
Might have a looks at the Tecanova stuff, andI'll say now... as a man who doesn't shave, I was getting bored of seeing the Dollar Shave Club everywhere. It's good to see something new.
TheGhostOfSabotage No shave november
In my eyes, Slenderman fell when the game came out and he(it?) hit the mainstream, but not because we "know everything" about him. After all, every interpretation is different, and we can't say Slenderman (Victor Surge), the Operator (Marble Hornets), and the Administrator (Tribe Twelve) are the same because they have different abilities, and are essentially different characters in every way beyond appearance. Even The Eight Pages's Slenderman acts different from other interpretations, with his protectiveness over the eponymous pages being something never seen in other material. The way I see it, Slenderman lost its appeal to the original fans because of the people who came from T8P, people who watched PewDiePie and other UA-camrs play it or played it themselves and simply thought the appeal was jumpscares, without knowing what actually made Slenderman terrifying in the first place, and since the T8P fans outnumber the original fans, the common interpretation of Slenderman is that he's simple jumpscare material. This is also what has me worried for the Slenderman movie.
Tl;dr: No one knows Slenderman like the original fans did anymore.
EDIT: Forgot to say, very nice video overall and well said.
Errin Hedgepeth exactly seriously I actually still find everything scary about Slenderman even though everyone has a general idea of him and his abilities but fail to realize that each variation is exactly that a different version of the slender creature. Meaning he will always be scary because he is never the same and always an unknown.
That smooth transition into the sponser, wow. Kudos!
Was this whole video really just a ad for security cameras
For me personally, I find what makes slender man scary is the fact that it defies the things we view as "normal", such as it lacking a face (from what we see of it), a slender body that conceals multiple tentacles (?) and having the ability to teleport from long distances, things we don't normally see in the real world.
Very true, and part of the fear is we don't know how half of that's possible :) Thank you for commenting friend :D
Inside A Mind Your very welcome! Also, if there's a good slender man creepypasta/story that mentions this called "Silence in the rain", it's pretty good.
I tought that laugh was just a loop.
At some point it turned into a loop, but I forgot which part lol
Inside A Mind lol
That ad transition was so slick!
You gotta to more of this series! This episode was great!
I certainly will be getting around to it! Keep and eye on The Looney Turtles channel for the second episode ;)
You think the mystery voice mail is a fake or the start of an ARG?
Its an arg, it has been running since cp games ended, so that is the best place to start, if you want to go the quick route use the wiki
Man I love ur channel I wish u up load more 💜💜
I wish I could! I'd be able to keep up with UA-cams algorithm. Would stop the whole paranoia thing when there's big gaps in between uploads too lol :) Thanks for watching friend! Take care!
I love watching your videos! I like theories and web series! So i enjoy watching you with your calming voice. Please do continue! Love you. 💞💜👌
Smooth ad transition bro. Smooth
Omg I love Tecanova. Their cameras are so useful.
Thanks for another great video!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
I honestly did not expect that transition into the ad and all the puns along with it.
That sponsorship at the end made me smile!
That was the best advert seaway that I have ever seen!
😂
Thank you for this. Slenderman was an important part of my freshman year and having a video like this is just awesome.
You're welcome! It was around a similar time Slenderman ended up in my life. Loved the mystery behind it :)
Can I just, say that was the best transition for the sponsor. 5:23
Aye!inside a mind has a brand new great video
Oh yeah! Thanks for watching buddy!
OMG you scared me with the advertisement lol idk why it scared me heh
Honestly, it would have been cool if they named the movie "the operator," would give a little wink to the diehards, and the people that just know slenderman by name and face(or lack of one) would be given a sense of mystery maybe?
That ad-read was clean and transition was clean, ngl😂
Just because of that smooth transition the video deserves several hundred thousand likes
great video, as usual. also, that sponsorship segue.. i can't tell if i'm proud or ashamed of that.
You should be both! :)
I just love when someone bring up something in the past
great handle of the sponsor. A little cheesy, but in the right way and it fit the video.
Why thank you :) Glad it fit in well!
that ad hit me in the right time m8
I completely agree! I loved the idea and mystery of Slenderman but after it blew up, it lost its appeal. Also I love your videos! 😄
Poor Slenderman :/ Glad you liked the video friend! Take care!
Inside A Mind Senpai noticed me! 😍
Awesome video
Thanks glad you liked it! It was a lot of fun to look back on Slender :)
Best way to ad!
How did I not know those Slenderman pictures were posted on my fifth birthday. It must explain why the Slenderman is my favorite creature of them all.
I like how at 3:53 he included a picture when saying "a job interview" as something that could be scary and unknown. But the picture is from the other video recently posted about the dark Knight as one of the corrupt cops. Well played sir.
Also the long laugh at the end of the video was creepy as hell lol 😂
Best sponsor ever
I want a technova because of how you presented it
thanks tecanova
:D
Bwahaha, this is the best sponsored video ever. Great job! 🤣🤣🤣
TecANova is the greatest company ever ;)
Haha Glad you liked the vid :D
Your laugh made me laugh so bad😂👌🏻
sorry im late i only just got the notification!
- AHooman
P.S. This is bound to be a hell of a journey!
Yeah, I've heard notifications are delayed or not even showing up for some reason. UA-cams really messing up right now haha
Then again it's been messes up since 2016 YT rewind XD, plus the Adpocolypse any everything
After a while when I was listening to your laugh I forgot it was even a laugh
that tecanova ad transition made me more scared than the actual video
I feel like this entire video was one huge ad for TecANova
Slendy makes me want to bendy.
Ignore this.
I will
Inside A Mind phew...
stop it. Get some help
Alex Brightside more like "Stop, kill youself."
I will see myself out the door..
Noah greatest that’s not even a pun tho lol
Great job with the video. Though the laugh will now keep me awake at night. Imagine if Slender had that laugh. Oof, I'd be terrified .
Oh my. Imagine walking in the woods and you just heard that random laugh echoing through the forrest? Look up and see Slenderman D:
5:23 nice way to swing in the sponsor
Without Looking into it yet I am kinda hoping Your sponsored ad is a set up for an ARG...
It is, rigth in front of yoou, you just have to open your mind about the truth
That fucking sponsor transition at the end was smooth as fuck, dude!
Tell teachanova security system man at 5:42 I’m done my guy! 🤣🤣🤣
I was getting super into that until you just hear *"BUY OUR CAMRAS"*
I'd say it's kind of brilliant that the people took something terrifying and made it fun. Not in the sense that it's made it better, but that we've poked fun at a (admittedly fictional) terrifying cosmic entity rather than remaining in fear.
Oh absolutely, it shows that we can make the biggest villains a laughing stock. So when a real life bad guy tries to strike fear into us, we can certainly rely on the internets to stop that from happening:)
The first time I heard of slenderman was in middle school and this one boy was obsessed with him... I didn't sleep for weeks after. Loved the video!!!!❤
Yeah, I was actually obsessed with Slenderman back in highschool. Found it really intriguing. It's a bit of a shame what he was turned into :/
It is he's not nearly as scary as he once was but the lore and all was fascinating when he first came about.
Well, that was just excellent.
Why thank you :3
I don't know what Tecanova is but it scared me more than slenderman does.
tecanova could be a part of an arg inside is making
That smooth ass transition 😂
holy shit that transition was legendary
best plug ever....
That add was smoooooooooth
When you started to talk about tecanova i just fucking jumpscared
I first found Marble Hornets when they were on about Entry #20 or so? Right when Masky was introduced.
Slenderman horrified me at that time. It took over my life, really, keeping me awake at night and drawing him and theorizing about him. I took it waaay too seriously as a teenager.
My friends even edited photos of their homes and sent them to me cause they knew it'd scare me, saying that I summoned him or something because of my interest in him.
When Slender came out, I was disappointed to see that so many people had forgotten the mystery behind Marble Hornets. Most people forget it even existed, or didn't know about it in the first place.
I'm really glad you mentioned it. It means a lot, even if it was a horrifying part of my teenage period.
(Also, I hope you laugh like that always, for that long, at every joke)
I laugh like that at every joke I tell myself ;) Yeah, after the Slender game was released a lot of people got confused with the lore.
In future I think more people will come across the show and it'll build up a bigger following, it just needs to be found by the right people :)
5:24 Flawless transition.
That transition though
That ad placement was fucking brilliant. g fucking g.
That shameless ad plug-in, though..
The ad gets me everytime
I remember playing some goat game and it had a slenderman mode. Best Goat Rampage knockoff ever.
That laugh at the end though 😂
Tis the best laugh in the world! ;)
Great arg, nice to be in on the ground floor. I am now hired......
