Nightmare Fuel / Stan Frederick

Go To

This being a vlog series set in the Slender Man Mythos, it should be no surprise that it has its share of Nightmare Fuel.


  • Par for the course in the Slenderverse, but this series ups the ante by having The Rake speak on-screen.
    Stan: Why is he (Conner) hurting these people?
    The Rake: He doesn't like you.
    Stan: Why doesn't he just kill me, then?
    The Rake: I like you.
  • "49. Slender Man" has the titular villain mercilessly hunt down Evan, utilizing everything from Combat Tentacles to Teleport Spam to attempt to catch him. At one point, he comes VERY close to suffocating Evan with his tentacles, and the video ultimately ends with him succeeding in Mind Raping Evan. After taking a backseat for most of Season Three, it's a welcome reminder that the Man in the Suit is not to be messed with.
  • Season 3's "Support Group" ends on a Wham Shot of Stan's Corruptelam form, doing its best imitation of his former human self. While his body looks mostly normal, his "head" is a pitch-black silhouette of a human head wearing a fedora — with a parade of flickering, shifting, distorted, monochromatic faces, including Susan's and a young Eric, in the general region of where a face should be.
  • "51. Fiftieth Percent" shows the outside of Mary's house, revealing that when Mary becomes significantly angered, black vine/vein-like substances cover the outside and seem to eventually envelop the world around.
  • A large part of Season 3 seems to be Stan losing touch with his humanity. His above appearance, combined with his becoming a Slender Man-style Expy in "New Semester", doesn't paint the best picture of his mental state.
  • 57. The Messenger has Stan revisit Willow's old home, where he finds that she has been turned into a Seed Eater, but with only half the body. He then revisits the support group and, in a fit of rage, takes Dominic back in time and murders him, erasing the support group from existence.
