Talk:It Came From Outer Ed/@comment-25765603-20150425133045

If this episode aired when the Slender Man stabbing took place, I would have so much to say. This episode is an allegory. It shows what would happen if kids (such as Ed) gets so caught up in fantasy they can't even tell the difference between fiction from reality. Ed tried to sacrifice Mr. Yum-Yum for Evil Tim, thinking he was real. That's similar to the Slender Man Stabbing: the girls tried to kill their friend for Slender Man, thinking he was real. I didn't realize this symbolism when I was younger. Now I know this episode reveals a real life situation!
