The story of Jeff the Killer is an urban legend that originated on various online platforms, including Creepypasta forums and imageboards, in 2008. The legend revolves around a young boy named Jeff, who is savagely attacked by a group of bullies and left for dead. Following the attack, Jeff undergoes a series of unsuccessful surgeries that leave him permanently disfigured with a permanent grin etched into his face. As a result of the trauma he suffered, Jeff becomes increasingly violent and sadistic,[5] killing animals and eventually targeting humans. The story chronicles Jeff's descent into madness as he stalks and murders his victims, often breaking into their homes and killing them in their sleep. He becomes notorious for his crimes, with law enforcement and the media struggling to apprehend him. The catchphrase "Go to sleep" is often associated with Jeff the Killer, as it is said to be the signature line he utters before killing his victims.[8] While the origin of the legend is not definitively known, it is believed to have emerged from online communities dedicated to horror fiction and urban legends.

The story has its origins in an earlier story created by a DeviantArt user named Sesseur in 2009. In this version, Jeff's face is disfigured after a gallon of acid is accidentally poured onto him while cleaning his bathtub. The image associated with Jeff the Killer, which depicts a pale, white-faced figure with deep-set eyes and a sinister smile, is believed to have been created by Sesseur and first appeared on DeviantArt or Newgrounds in 2008. However, the image was originally uploaded in 2005 to the now-closed Japanese site, pya.cc. The figure's hair is long and black, and his face is covered in black markings that are often described as scars or burns. However, the image received controversy after it was believed on 4chan to be an unedited picture of Katy Robinson, a woman who committed suicide in 2008. The claim was later debunked, and it was confirmed that the real image of "Katy Robinson" originated from the site TrueChristian.com in 2004.
