Slender Man

Product Information

The Slender Man is most commonly depicted as being found in deserted and derelict locations, often forested, where he can hunt without his victims being able to get help from other people or emergency services. It shows a preference for forests and dense woodlands, partly because he can easily blend with the trees, and partly because of how easy it is to confuse and terrify victims. He has also been encountered in graveyards, old houses, ghost towns and abandoned mansions, where he lies in wait behind walls and doors to ambush his victims. Harmon, Dan (17 March 2015).

EMH and ML also describe the phenomenon known as " Slender Walking." Slender Walking is a term created to describe Slender Man's apparent teleportation and space-time warping/teleportation between locations. These abilities were seen in early Slender Man accounts, and is one of the most recognizable elements of the mythos. Slender Man’s ability to appear – seemingly from nowhere – in a place where he wasn’t mere seconds before is one of his most terrifying traits, and EMH mentions the effect of this on a person's mental health. He is only known to be seen in the woods and was used as a story that parents told their children to thwart bad behavior. There have been quite a few disappearances of children that have been said to be linked to the "Tree Man".Slender Man finished 2018 with an IMDb rating of 3.2 [7], a spoiled Rotten Tomatoes rating at 7% [8], and a Metacritic rating of 30% [9].

So, what seems to be happening here is a cultural 'remix' between the older myth of the Tall Man/Suicide Spirit which already existed among Native Americans prior to the rise of the World Wide Web, and the newer, more potent icon of Slenderman introduced to these communities through the pervasiveness of new social networks; all this coupled with the 'copycat' contagion effect which arises during a cluster of suicides or mass shootings.

He wins over the confidence of children, but adults are repulsed by fear. This theory is one of few that paints Slender Man as a benign element, suggesting that he actually seeks friendship of some kind, and can only find it in children, who – unlike adults – he can get to trust him.

In particular, the families of the 2014 Slender Man Stabbing voiced heavy disapproval for the creation of this film, citing parallels to the actual case and the movies plot. The disgust in particular was so bad, that the film was not shown in theaters in the Wisconsin area [12] [13]. A petition to stop the film was enacted prior to the films release, and the petition closed in November of 2018 with 24290 signatures, only 720 short of its goal. [14]
