They say that they shouldn’t believe everything they read on the Internet because so much misinformation hovers out there, but sometimes we cannot help ourselves. As long as mankind had the ability to tell stories, folklore and large stories were forms of entertainment that reflect our own life as a means to understand our existence, and no matter what existential, confronted, existing, intervener recipients. 2016s Beware of the SlendermanAn HBO original streaming on Max aims to unpack how modern folklore that were born on the Internet of itself, even though it was always a fiction.
Beware of the Slenderman Going into the creation of the slim man, who surrounds him surrounding his mythology and the shattering incident, who will stab as a slim man, who was already taking place in Wisconsin in 2014 when two girls, Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, stabbed her friend Payton “Bella” , 19 times to appease the fictional character that supposedly influenced her behavior.
Slender Man started as a Photoshop competition
The origin of the slim man can be followed in 2009 on the somewhat terrible forums when Eric Knudsen entered the paranormal Photoshop competition that inspired him to create the creature. Beware of the Slenderman explains that the creature – a big, thin, faceless and tentacular man in a suit – was so popular because online users write their own folklore about the nature that reflected their own fears and fears in a similar way as traditional folk stories.
When the slim man’s popularity began to grow, the ideas of Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, who were obsessed by the slim man, also led to her attempted murder of Bella. Morgan Geyser, as if she was under the magic of the slim man, became increasingly paranoid and claimed that she was instructed by the slim man to kill Bella before she had met him in his house, slim manor house.
Where were your parents?
The parents of Geyser and Wesier are asked in detail in Beware of the Slenderman, And her main concern is how to deal with the monitoring of your other children’s online activities after the jump -off. You will be concerned about the screen time that your children have to follow for your studies via iPads and other devices, ask what else you could do around the clock outside the monitoring of your children. But when the documentary goes deeper at the time of the murder in Morgan Geyser Psyche, we learn that she suffers from auditory visual and auditorial hallucinations that she did not tell her parents – who are active and attentive parents in all reports.
Uncover surveys
Although there are no first -hand reports from Bella (fortunately survived) in Beware of the SlendermanWe learn through the interrogation material how Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier reacted to the crime that they had just committed shortly after their arrest. In view of the severity of their crimes, they both were tired as adults, but not without a long legal dispute to determine how mentally every girl was at the time of the stitch.
Beware of the Slenderman offers a unique overview of how sometimes internet memes and Urban Legends Can get out of control and have consequences of real life. What I appreciated the most is how the slim man was framed as an isolated incident as an isolated incident, without the creator of the slim man, Eric Knudsen, to blame. There is no clear answer to how the stab itself can be prevented due to the course of the events Beware of the Slenderman Try to understand that it still serves as a warning story about how quickly the truth can become more foreign than as a collaborative work of fiction.
