** He's drawn WebOriginal/{{Momo}} a [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost/status/1231342365056651265 couple]] of [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost/status/1019992619894571009 times]].

* DaylightHorror: A few of his artworks take place in broad daylight, such as [[https://preview.redd.it/lehv28vjpn131.jpg?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=94efdc18a2166676e039e046f2d3cecc9184ce54 this]] and [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/8cecc2c1fea08c112c49e1b39760a766/tumblr_pvko3twYst1qktbieo1_1280.jpg that]]. They're just as unsettling as the darkly-lit artworks.

[[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/ Slimyswampghost]] is the name of a horror blog run by one Trevor Henderson, who's primary forte is making FoundFootage style horror photographs of unusual cryptids. And as his followers note, he's ''very'' good at it...

Unfortunately the Tumblr blog has been disabled, but there is still his [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost twitter]] account and an [[https://trevorhenderson.fandom.com/wiki/Trevor_Henderson_Wiki unofficial wiki]]. He has also created [[https://sssslimyswampghostttt.tumblr.com/ a replacement Tumblr blog]].

* AmbiguouslyEvil:
** According to Henderson, Siren Head could in fact simply be a predator that has evolved to hunt humans specifically.
* AnimalisticAbomination: Any animals that appear in the series are pretty much going to be this, but special mention goes to [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost/status/1068370701097136128?lang=en Long Horse]], being a creature with a head like a horse's skull tipping a neck that twists into eternity and who has existed since the caveman days (and possibly even before then). There's also [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost/status/1021997826010763265?lang=en Needle Horse]] and [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost/status/1061829327963254785?lang=en the Good Boy]].
** And now we have [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost/status/1186854836865769475 Meat Moose]].

* DarkIsEvil: Some of the monsters are actively malevolent, such as Cartoon Cat, a diabolical [[CatsAreMean cat-like]] HumanoidAbomination who is implied to be [[AxCrazy bat-shit insane]], and [[AmbiguouslyEvil possibly]] Siren Head, since it preys on [[ImAHumanitarian humans]], [[WouldHurtAChild including children]] and probably has killed the most people. And let's not get into the [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Giants]] themselves. Also the Man with the Upside-Down Face who cause many fatal incidents and then feeds off the energy of the people in pain.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Some of Trevor's other monsters are stated to be friendly and intelligent or at least harmless, just really really ''scary''. [[AnimalisticAbomination Long Horse]] is said to be [[BenevolentMonsters benevolent, well-meaning and curious by nature]] while [[TheGrotesque Bonesworth]] is [[NiceGuy kind and playful]], but won't leave you alone once he visits. [[FeatheredFiend The Chicken Ghost]] is less friendly, but will leave you alone as long as you're nice to your poultry.

-->''Sometimes they were almost beautiful, if you didn’t think about the repercussions of their collective presence, about how they were just one big walking signpost that read "it has all gone to shit, and nothing can be good again".''

-->"Is that... Is that a sewing dummy? What IS that, man!? I think we bet... OH *static*—" - ''tape ends''

* WhamEpisode: [[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/179081605669/theyre-still-here-theyve-always-been-here This]] post reveals that Siren Head and Long Horse at least are ''far'' more ancient than previously implied. Its caption even qualifies as a bit of a WhamLine.
-->"They’re still here. [[TimeAbyss They’ve always been here]]."

* CreepyGood: Most of the cryptids turn out to be this. Special mention goes to Long Horse - despite looking like a zombified, skeletal horse, is stated to be mostly benevolent.

** He did [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost/status/1087548966382776320?lang=en an interpretation of Yoyo]], devised from [[https://twitter.com/shenanigansen/status/1087390030140715010 a comic]] by [[Webcomic/OwlTurdComix Shenanigansen]].

** He's also drawn [[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/180542975259/scp-173-dont-blink his version of]] [[Wiki/SCPFoundation SCP-173]].

* LockedRoomMystery: A variant: [[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/179408916829/image-found-on-a-disposable-camera-on-the-floor-of this image]] was found on a camera in a sealed cemetery vault.

* WasOnceAMan: Some of the lovecraftian monstrosities, like [[https://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/180612674979/a-whole-classroom-of-kids-disappeared-just-like this one]], are implied to have been perfectly human once before being turned into the [[HumanoidAbomination grotesque]] [[EldritchAbomination creatures]] they are now.

** Despite the creature's unnerving appearance, [[https://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/177402295189/the-fugitive-hides-from-the-pursuer the Fugitive]] is an innocent creature who is running and hiding away from the [[SuperPersistentPredator actively malevolent Persuer]].

* AdultFear:
** [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost/status/1066600678443823104?lang=en The Peeping Tom]] is implied to be the ghost of a DirtyOldMan who was killed in a fire.
** It's implied that [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost/status/1076741412752932864 this thing]] killed a pair of kids and mutilated their bodies to the point where ''their remains aren't even recognizable as human''.
** [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost/status/1106429482359881728 This subterranean cryptid]] lives inside a house with a family that includes 2 small children, and "invites" the family to live with him, and threatens to come up if they don't.

* WouldHurtAChild: None of the more hostile monsters are against killing or harming children. For example, Siren Head was implied in one post to have eaten a child who was on a camping trip with his father.

* EverythingsBetterWithCows: "Big Charlie" resembles a giant skinless bovine, but is no more dangerous than any other large animal.

!!Tropes present in Henderson's work

* AnimalisticAbomination: Any animals that appear in the series are pretty much going to be this, but special mention goes to [[https://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/180642673534/a-new-sighting-hes-on-the-move Long Horse]], being a creature with a head like a horse's skull tipping a neck that twists into eternity and who has existed since the caveman days (and possibly even before then). There's also [[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/176256447804/ive-never-seen-a-police-horse-at-night-in-the Needle Horse]] and [[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/180021186099/it-wasnt-there-when-we-took-the-photo-but-all the Good Boy]].

** The third is the world of [[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/177402302839/the-pursuer-is-after-the-fugitive the Pursuer]] and [[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/177402295189/the-fugitive-hides-from-the-pursuer the Fugitive]], and possibly Siren Head as well. Not much is known about this one.

** [[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/180473675509/im-glad-hes-gone-he-was-a-disgusting-old The Peeping Tom]] is implied to be the ghost of a DirtyOldMan who was killed in a fire.
** It's implied that [[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/181341132949/photo-via-a-discarded-phone-collected-at-the this thing]] killed a pair of kids and mutilated their bodies to the point where ''their remains aren't even recognizable as human''.
** [[https://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/183474138954/this-seems-weird?is_related_post=1 This subterranean cryptid]] lives inside a house with a family that includes 2 small children, and "invites" the family to live with him, and threatens to come up if they don't.

Unfortunately the blog has been disabled by tumblr, but there is still his [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor twitter]] account and an [[https://trevorhenderson.fandom.com/wiki/Trevor_Henderson_Wiki unofficial wiki]].

** There's also [[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/179020852509/after-the-party-waiting-for-a-ride this guy]], who, despite his fearsome appearance, just wants a lift.

* ActionSurvivor: The narrator of [[https://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/182210396464/they-had-breached-the-circle-and-he-could-see this post]], who was holding off the things in the cameras with a security system. Shame it didn't work, though...

* {{Jerkass}}: While most of the cryptids run on BlueAndOrangeMorality, the Upside-Down Face Man [[https://twitter.com/slimyswampghost/status/1225657192260370432 has been confimed by Henderson]] as the biggest asshole of them all. Considering he seems to get his kicks off of [[{{Sadist}} watching fatal vehicle accidents]] (which he's implied to cause), it's not that surprising.

** It's implied that [[http://slimyswampghost.tumblr.com/post/181341132949/photo-via-a-discarded-phone-collected-at-the this thing]] mutilated a pair of kids to the point where ''their remains aren't even recognizable as human''.

* CosmicHorrorStory: In Henderson's setting, the entire planet is completely overrun by all kinds of bizarre and terrifying creatures, many of which prey on humans and they are good at making short work of them too. This especially applies to the Giants, who arrive from another dimension and make [[{{UnderStatement}} life shit for everyone]]. Either way, it wouldn't be too surprising if the human life expectancy in Henderson's worlds is far lower than real life's.

* CreepyGood[=/=]BenevolentMonsters: Most of the cryptids turn out to be this. Special mention goes to Long Horse, despite looking like a surreal horse zombie, is stated to be mostly benevolent.

-->"Sometimes they were almost beautiful, if you didn’t think about the repercussions of their collective presence, about how they were just one big walking signpost that read "it has all gone to shit, and nothing can be good again"."

* GentleGiant: Despite being a massive walking mass of BodyHorror, Big Charlie has the behavior of a perfectly normal and harmless cow, and he's more interested in escaping from the meat factory with other animals than hurting anyone. Unfortunately {{Averted}} with [[{{Kaiju}} the Giants]] themselves, since their mere existence is dedicated to making everyones' lives as fucking miserable as possible. (READ: causing pure, unrelenting havoc and chaos wherever they go, or outright causing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt).
