  3. Oh weird, one of the girls who stabbed their classmate because they wanted to impress the Slenderman cut off her monitoring bracelet and disappeared from her group home on the west side of Madison last night. Cool, cool…

  5. Historian answers questions about the origins and meanings of mysterious creatures

    I had this video saved for a few days and finally got to watch it. It features Dr. Juliette Wood answering questions about monsters and creature folklore, including some cryptids.

    A few points to consider before you watch it (it is 32 minutes long)…

    I was happy to hear how she described the arc from the original story of some of these beings to their modern counterparts. She thinks this changing image is interesting and, of course, so do I. In particular, she used the example of the unicorn, which began as speculation about a potentially real creature in medieval times. Later, it was adopted as a Christian metaphor and used in high art. It was depicted as a fantastical creature that eventually appeared in modern art and literature, evolving quite far from the original descriptions. Finally, it enters popular culture and is commodified. It now belongs to different groups – as a LGBTQ symbol, little girls’ toys, magical fantasy creatures. This is what happens to many folklore creatures, or cryptids. As they journey through time, their utility changes. Often, they are no longer useful as a mysterious creature to be discovered, but serve one or more social functions. This is part of the pop cryptid model.

    A few quibbles I had:

    She points out that the Wendigo escaped Native culture. This is a great framing. I like to think of it as the horse that left the barn for good. You aren’t likely to box it in again, even if you want to. But like most of the topics in this video – vampires, werewolves, cryptids, fairies, spirits, etc. – the stories are exceptionally more complex because culture is complex and always changing. Dr. Wood deliveries mostly sound and good answers to start with, but those asking the questions would do well to read more expansive sources to really understand what’s going on.

    The “big hairy monster” types like Bigfoot, Yeti, Abominable snowman, etc., are suggested to be more similar than different. It’s a mistake to say the Yeti is white because it’s in snowy Tibet as it was originally described as dark furred. It has only become stereotypically white in more modern popular depictions.

    Dr. Wood really messed up by saying the Slenderman incident in Wisconsin resulted in a death. Several commenters noted that the girl stabbed by her “friends” survived. Big fact check error there.

    She repeats the St. Columba origin story for the Loch Ness monster. Inclusion of that story is fraught with peril – it’s dubious to say the least and highly fictionalized. She hints that people looked back at the account during the monster’s modern appearance and retroactively fitting it to the Nessie idea. But it really needs the extra context to prevent people from outright saying Nessie was first reported in the 6th century.

    All in all, this is so worth a watch to get oriented to various popular legends and lore. Loved it.

  7. Slenderman (2018) creo que resume muy bien muchos de los problemas de parte del cine actual:

    No define a los personajes, ni al entorno donde se desarrolla y se limita a rodar un guión como el que copia lo que le dictan. No hay narrativa visual. No construye. Si el guion dice “Chloe entra en casa”, se rueda a la actriz entrando en casa. No se narra, se muestra.

  8. If you still need journaling music/going to sleep music that's not shitty New Age that all sounds like the last one/pensive night alone music thinking about all the moments that chained together to lead you here, here's another suggestion. The whole album, start to finish, by Mogwai: "Come On Die Young". But the cover gives me the creeps. It brings me back to those Marble Hornet days

  13. There was a time in the early-2010s when Slenderman was considered scary, so when my mannequin costume for a party in September of 2012 was misinterpreted, it wasn't a big deal. Now, though. Oh, boy is he lame!

  20. Many people are weary to approach such an imposing figure as #Slenderman, but the little gremlin knows just the right thing to get him to loosen up, a very tall glass of lemonade.

    I’ve been told he’s actually quite charming and highly skilled in the art of conversation, once you get to know him 😉
