In the early 2010's, internet horror icon Slenderman became the centerpiece of a rapidly evolving artistic movement, forming what is known as 'The Slenderverse'. On the surface, the Slenderverse appeared to be a Marvel-style cinematic universe; an interconnected mythology of independent art projects. However, unbeknownst to the general public, creators congregated under the umbrella of the private ‘Slenderverse Creators’ community and formed an online artistic collective unlike any seen before at the time of its creation in 2011. “Slenderverse: An Artistic Movement“ from director Alex Hera reveals the hidden stories of how Slenderman was developed into a viral icon by these creators. Through never-before-seen archival content, access to the private community, and interviews with Chris Hammarberg and Heather Mooch of “DarkHarvest00“, Dylan Sindelar of “MLAndersen0“, Marissa Botelho of “Tulpa Effect“, Lee Esposito of “Whispered Faith“, Valeria Santiago of “Stan Frederick“, as well Tim Sutton of “Marble Hornets“, Evan Jennings of “EverymanHYBRID“ and internet horror influencer Night Mind, the truth about this artistic movement - as well as the lives and relationships of these creators - is unveiled for the first time. The second film of “Slenderverse: A Documentary Film Series”, a three film series which tells the dramatic history of the independent artists behind the Slenderverse movement and documents Slenderman’s rise as an independent horror icon, and fall to the status of a dangerous internet meme through interviews with 19 internet horror legends, extensive live action reenactments, and exclusive archival content.
