    Oct 24 2025

    Slenderman is a notorious internet legend, first coming to life from a photoshop contest in 2009, and since then, appearing in various creeypasta stories and making his debut in quite a few films. His cryptic nature makes him a figure of obsession, even bleeding into real life tragedies. Now, if you've been on the internet since 2010, there's a good chance you've heard of Slenderman and other creepypastas. But who even is Slenderman, and do we ever figure out his true motives? Join us on our exploration of Slenderman lore and movie reviews of Slenderman 2018 and The Slender Man 2013.

  • Its time to "WendiGo" - Episode 1
    Oct 3 2025

    The Wendigo is a mythological creature from Native American folklore. It has had various portrayals in media over the last century, typically depicted as a man-eating monster with an icy heart, but its true origins are even darker and much less of a physical manifestation. But has its wide portrayal in pop culture doing more harm than good, and has the true legend been muddled among bad retellings? We do a deep dive into a couple Wendigo retellings, in particular, Wendigo 2001, and see just how scary the Wendigo really is.
