"Slenderverse: Building the Slenderman" from director Alex Hera chronicles the untold story of the Slenderverse: the biggest internet horror movement of the 2010's, centered around the viral icon Slenderman. The film reveals new information and stories about the development of the Slenderman myth, from its birth on the SomethingAwful forums, development through webseries Marble Hornets and EverymanHYBRID, and a network of immersive blogs. Through incisive interviews with Slenderverse community members including Tim Sutton of "Marble Hornets", Jeffery Koval and Evan Jennings of "EverymanHYBRID", Slenderman blog authors Andrew Koerner and Tom Horan, internet horror influencer Night Mind, as well as famed horror artist Trevor Henderson, "Slenderverse: Building the Slenderman" tells a story of collaborative mythmaking and horror on the early internet.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
