Anyone else think a bit of Zalgo should inserted into the mythos?

No.

I've heard people talking about how Slender Man could be Zalgo's "Dragon" and I think that they're completely missing the point. We aren't supposed to know Slender Man's motivations because we can never fully understand him. Sure, he eldritch and all, but not in the traditional Lovecraft style of things outside of reality driving people insane. They're also completely different in what they represent: Zalgo -> chaos, Slender Man -> our primal fears. No need to mix them at all to the dilution of both (mainly Slender Man though, the Zalgo meme is getting tired).

Read the last link in the OP. Just do it.

I find SM parodies a great way to "detox" from watching the horror.

This looks like it might be an interesting season.  I was concerned they had no where else to go

[semi-relevant?]

I just finally got around to starting House of Leaves this morning on the flight home. Very good so far, though I'm not at any of the really weird stuff. I'll keep an eye out for references I catch from MH.

Working my way through EMH - seriously considering ripping the Hidden Videos from YouTube, packaging them up, and sending them off to the EMH crew.

Maybe it'll work IG, maybe it won't.
