Slenderman vs. Hollow Face.

Hopefully everyone knows what Redbox is, but if you don't, it's a little box that it red.
... oh and you can rent movies from it, but yeah. So usually... 8 times out of 10 they put more secluded recluse movies in there that no one has ever heard of. The Intruder being one of them.

Whilst watching this freaky movie last night, I couldn't help feel bad for my poor friend that sad behind that I kept ramming up into because I was so terrified of the freaking show. I mean... honestly. It's about a figure with no face that steals the faces off of childern, yeah? Your a little freaked out too? Good, because I was "about-to-pee-my-pants" scared.

So while the terror is going on I couldn't help but think of a character from a from an equally frightening video game. Slenderman. For those of you that are unsure about THAT, it's a PC game where a giant, tall, creepy man with no face is after you. Pretty much in a nutshell.

Was there a connection between these two faceless characters in different media? I'm unsure, but the whole concept of a creepy faceless person who WANTS you is enough to make you check your closet twice before you go to bed. Maybe three if you're feeling extra cautious. I honestly couldn't believe how freaked out I was as young adult. Jeez.

So my challenge to you... pick up a copy of The Intruder and download a version of Slenderman for your computer. Play it/ Watch it. And  let me know just how scared you are too. And if there are any similarities in the characters that you can tell.

Worse comes to worse... you can't sleep for a week because you're scared of a faceless man that lives in the shadows of your room. I mean, honestly, what do you have to lose?
