Has anyone else noiticed the big similarity between The Silence and The Slender Man. As it is a tall, grey faced, wierd arm, suit wearing, silent creature. Also The Slender Man known as 'The Operator', from the Marble Hornets videos, has the ability to wipe peoples memories. Bhillybillybob 23:48, April 27, 2011 (UTC)
Also kidnaps children and causes amnesia.. The character design is nearly exactly the same, the face with no visible eyes mouth or nose, the "man in black suit", the long fingers/tentacles used to cease victims, not to mention the alien invasion storyline and the marks that appeared on the characters faces? Moffat bloody half-inched it. Shame on him, it's just disgusting to steal somebody elses work and pass it off as your own.

To be fair, the Silence is more obviously akin to Grey Aliens and the Men in Black. The Grey Aliens would normally abduct you and you would forget about it and the only ones who can describe their appearances are insane people. Men in Black make you forget an alien sighting. The fact that they don't look completely like Grey Aliens is deliberate, because people can't describe exactly what they look like. Slender Man may have influence from these references as well, but it's most obvious where the inspiration comes from. ~ Kelv
