I'm selfishly excited knowing that Alex created something that will help coherently explain to 50% of the people in my life where the other 50% came from without making the whole thing sound *too* insane.
Also, y'all are going to love it. I'm sure.
I am so proud to announce "Slenderverse: A Documentary Film Series", three films chronicling the untold history of Slenderman. The first film premieres this Friday, 6/14, at 4pm PST.
I hope you're as excited as I am.
Check out the trailer here:
The biggest missing piece in the Slenderverse documentary, crafted by
@AlexHera_
, is that the 5 of us lived an entire humid, New Jersey summer there without realizing we had air conditioning, actually.

enjoy the non-canon ending of MLAndersen0, in which HABIT gives Patrick a nice bath
Would anyone be interested an an Andersen Journals livestream like the gang is doing with DH?
Follow-up: What if the format consisted of some bts funnies in addition to discussing what the work means to other people?
Might be interesting to bring other creatives in or out of
All of you just watched.
You just WATCHED while we showed you our MESSY LITTLE HOUSE.
Unfolded blankets, dishes in the sink, a futon cushion inexplicably sitting in the corner of the living room for a full two years...
Silence says enough.
Still on its way, gang!
Just need to find some time to take a final pass on the manuscript to finish up placement, etc.
Stoked to get physical copies to those folks who missed out years ago.
I'm working on a couple new stories, too...
Y'all rule. 🤘

There's an idea!
Actually, pulse check -
Would folks be interested in merch like that for The Showers, MLAndersen0, Twigs, etc.?
I'd love to get independent artists in with some designs so they can get their work out there and get paid for it!

This is pretty neat, even if it is just a silly little algorithm thing.
Penpal is undoubtedly one of the best and most viscerally disturbing stories that I came across during the early creepypasta days.
I highly recommend it.

Hey horror fans!
I have a new version of The Showers that should be releasing shortly. Stay tuned!
Prefer to listen to your lit? Here's a phenomenal reading of the whole book by the talented novella narrator with the vivacious voice,

Having a nostalgic night, so here is this fun thing I made with
@jeffreyKoval
and
@VinnieEveryman
when we lived together. It grew into my pet project that I hope to show you all one day.
We are mere days away from [REDACTED]. This is the most excited I have ever been to release a project. You all have no idea what's coming.
See you soon ;)
Roommate yelled my name, so I went to go see what he wanted.
"What do you want?!"
"You don't have to sound mad about it."
"Man, I basically just watched part of a documentary about my friends and our 20s and"
"No one gives a shit. Do you have a Peacock login?"
When I was eight, one of your employees locked me in the building on a Sunday afternoon. They didn't show up again until mid-Tuesday. By that point I had built a comfortable living space out of VHS copies of Scream 3 and Hollow Man. The candy was all locked up so I ate gumballs.
The DH discord has organized this awesome livestream that Heather will be hosting! A three-night marathon of Dark Harvest, with appearances from me, Alex, Heather and special guest Matt Sharky (

Hey Colin,
I believe the time has probably passed to wrap it up the way we wanted to back in the day. I do have the ending written and plotted that I might release one of these days. We will see. Glad you like it, though! Very strange time
It took six years and hundreds of hours of writing, rewriting, re-rewriting, and editing, but I think that I am finally content with where this little story of mine ended up.
I hope you will all enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

Oh man these Creepcast fellas had some really interesting points about The Showers.
I don't know what I was worried about. Hearing different reads of your work can be really cool in addition to anxiety-inducing.
Right on, gang

Hey guys,
This anthology horror collection that I've been asked to be a part of has been funded on kickstarter. If you were a fan of Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark or if you just enjoy the genre, take a look!
I've been thinking about sending "The Showers" to local bookstores when I can afford to.
Do you have any that you would recommend in your neck of the woods? Let me know!
I'm looking to send them some copies to do with as they please in order to spread the word.
Thanks!

I always wanted a cat that would scale me up to my shoulder like I was a Colossus.
But, now I have that cat and all of my jeans are ripped and my legs constantly bleed.
This is some monkey paw shit, I tell you what...
Oh, right, still need to get in contact with
@Creepcastactual
@meatcanyon
or
@Wendigoon8
so I can send them some copies if they want them. Hit me up, y'all.
Wild timing with that video, tbh.
Hey, this might end up being a feature, an anthology, or some sort of thing in the near future. It all started with a one-off, poorly planned, "radio play" made in a crappy bedroom in New Jersey.
Here's to hoping!
My friend Evan is ridiculously talented and if I get 15 people to watch his new video he's gonna give me a shirt with our faces on it.
So check out his new video essay and let's get me that shirt!
I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to impress people who are no longer in my life or whose opinions no longer matter.
I think the former stems from a desperate need for validation, even from the past, and the latter is probably just mostly spite.
Anyone else?
Started last year like "I'll get a fun little mini bookshelf for my bedroom and maybe it'll be specific to one author."
Now I'm hanging around bookstores looking for more of this fix.
@Kingcast19
You can add
#DoctorSleep
to the list of long 2019 movies that don’t drag. Come for Rebecca Ferguson slaying it as the villain. Stay for Kyliegh Curran’s barnstorming debut (and the cute cat).
Just going to post TWIGS again, in case you need a 20 minute distraction from reality.
A cozy radio station in the Colorado foothills - nothing but good vibes here.
I have to stop spamming the internet with
#twigs
pre-production and set building for now.
But, suffice it to say, after today our set feels like a functional radio station. We built it all in the corner of big barn.
I'm so excited for everyone to see this.
One of the locals asked me for a light and we chatted for a bit about the area. It was nice.
When I asked him about the strange loud chiming of bells that comes from the far end of town every night at 3am his nose began to bleed and he ran off. Rude.

For the sake of preserving my hashtag, my definition of "month" is now "six weeks or more, who knows, let's see how this plays out."
Thank you for your time.

Chris looked deep into my eyes...over Discord...text-chat, when he said/typed:
"Dylan, my closest friend and confidant, gazelle-man, the secular and absent godfather of my countless children and my childrens' children...
They must experience The Long, Dark Harvest of The Soul"

October is almost upon us, so here's the thing:
I watch horror films constantly. But for the next 31+ days I'm just gonna throw out titles and tell you how rad/weird they are.
Let me know if you check any of them out! Tag me in your review tweets and let's talk about it!
Hey everyone!
This Sunday, 4/19, some of the old Slenderverse crew is going to be doing a watchalong with some flicks on
@Shudder
We are going to start with CHOPPING MALL at 7PM EST and have a poll up where everyone playing along can decide the second movie.
#ShudderAndSham
There are two cat towers, two bookshelves, an entertainment center, a couple of tables/nightstands, a desk, and a Christmas tree in my apartment.
But, I'm woken up at four in the morning because my cat is desperately trying to climb the wall. The empty, white wall in the hall.
I just watched a piece of garbage blow itself through the parking lot and gently throw itself away in the dumpster.
Nature is beautiful.

There's been a dog loudly barking two rooms up from me for about 45 minutes now. Employees and guests alike have been pounding on the door and swearing to themselves in the hall for about 20.
Tensions are high at the Best Western. Stay tuned.
#AMonthFlatInNorthPlatte
Coming to a foreign town for an indefinite period of time where you don't know anyone with very little guidance and a vague goal of "do good" is actually weirdly exciting.
I hope I'm doing an okay job and that everyone involved is happy.
#AMonthFlatInNorthPlatte
Tonight, I was told that there are groups of people in Nebraska who actively hunt for "The Showers".
In real life.
This is the best thing a writer could ever hope for, I think.
#AMonthFlatInNorthPlatte
I keep waking up with pine needles stuck to my face because Twigs pulls parts off of the tree and drops them onto my pillow while I'm sleeping.
Just an update.
When you live with one other person, it takes a mix of cunning and well-timed distractions to make sure they don't see their birthday gifts early.
For example, when Robin was least expecting it, I carefully texted her:
"DON'T LOOK ON MY SIDE OF THE CLOSET"
She has no clue.
Last night, I had a dream about a witch doctor wearing plaid and overalls standing over my bed chanting a language I couldn't understand but could feel deep within myself.
Today, I came down with some sort of strange sickness.
Probably unrelated.
#AMonthFlatInNorthPlatte
Not finished yet, but
#Marianne
on Netflix kicks all sorts of terrifying ass.
It's a very slow-burn kind of horror and very emotional/riddled with empathetic characters. It's like if Broadchurch fucked a ghost.
I am digging the hell out of it. Check it out.
I walk by the same projectors playing the same scenes from the same movies on an endless loop. Each repeated viewing draws me towards the clutches of madness, an ironically comfortable embrace.
Anyway, come see AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR.
Now playing!
#AMonthFlatInNorthPlatte
Every single time I mention "going home" I get this weird, creepy little chuckle from the people here.
My stay just got extended by two weeks.
It's probably nothing.
#AMonthFlatInNorthPlatte
Hey gang!
Here is a full, brand spanking new reading of "The Showers" story. It features all of the additions from the novella.
Show some love for
@Dark_Somnium
and give it a listen!
At the gas station, the guy at the counter gave me my change back by deliberately placing coins in one hand, and bills in the other. It was really odd.
He also whispered something in Latin while I walked away.
But the change thing...weird stuff, man.
#AMonthFlatInNorthPlatte
I cannot emphasize how much fun
#TheLastDriveIn
is, especially when you watch it and interact with
@kinky_horror
and the
#MutantFam
during the live broadcast.
Do it up! I'll be there!
We like our Hootenannies as we like our hoedowns & shindigs: Halloween themed, hosted by
@therealjoebob
, and streaming tomorrow night at 9pm ET on Shudder 🎃🤠
Due to the tremendous amount of support, we've decided to keep Twigs up until tomorrow at midnight.
Thank you all so much for sharing and sending feedback!
We are so happy that so many people are enjoying it!
