The mind of a child is a unique and powerful tool for creativity, but under the wrong influences it can become dangerous for them and those around them. That is what happened in a town in Wisconsin when two young girls, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, became consumed by lurid fantasies of human sacrifice to their favorite creepypasta Slenderman and tried to make it reality, with their best friend, Payton Leutner, playing the role of victim. Join Tim and Derek as we discuss the Slenderman Stabbing, a tale of parental incompetence, failure of institutional mental healthcare, and the place where all these issues intersect to create disaster: cheesy internet horror stories.
