Reddit user MLPTTM chose to remain anonymous in the chatroom but wanted to share their thoughts on the stories of Slenderman on Creepy Pasta.

Social context: I interviewed MLPTTM on May 19, 2020 through a chatroom. They shared their feelings of Slenderman and what peaked their interest when reading Slenderman stories. 

Cultural context: Slenderman is an urban legend that originated through multiple stories shared across the internet. He is often depicted as a tall faceless man and is associated with disappearances and sinister powers. 

Item: “I like him because most creepypastas try to scare you with blood, gore, and if you’re lucky hyper-realistic blood. Slenderman scared me with psychological horror; making me scared of fields, trees, and sometimes nothing. He has made me as paranoid as I’ve been in my life and I love the thrill. His design is simple and terrifying because it can make him visible in a field or invisible in a forest. His humanoid figure makes him seem real like him stalking you can happen. I think the biggest thing that makes him interesting is that nobody has any full idea what happens when he gets you.”
