On June 8, 2009, Eric Knudsen posted two black and white images he had
Photoshopped to a forum called "Something Awful." The forum was hosting a
photo manipulation contest and was taking submissions from artists who
were creating fake "paranormal" images. Knudsen's original monster, whom
he called Slenderman, was the breakaway star of the contest, inspiring
writers and artists online to create a backstory for him.
