Director/editor/musician and all-around awesome YouTuber Mike Diva released his new short film, “Proxy: A Slender Man Story” just in time for Halloween.

Produced in collaboration with BlackBoxTV, Diva’s nine-minute film tracks the terrifying journey of Vince, a young man whose life becomes consumed by fear as he is repeatedly menaced by images of a dark, shadowy, and tentacled figure. This menacing villain is based off of Internet horror sensation, Slender Man, which inspired a wealth of videos, memes, ghost stories, and even his own video game.
