We all knew that it was only a matter of time before some studio in Hollywood decided to adapt the Slender Man horror icon into a feature film. According to a report from ComicBook.com, Screen Gems is currently in the process of developing the movie, and a script already exists that was written by David Birke (13 Sins).
Slender Man is a nightmarish character, and I think there’s potential for this to be a terrifying horror film. Slender Man originated on a forum called Something Awful. User Victor Surge was part of a thread asking for “paranormal images through Photoshop.” Surge posted two photos of Slender Man with the following text:
“We didn’t want to go, we didn’t want to kill them, but its persistent silence and outstretched arms horrified and comforted us at the same time . . . 1983, photographer unknown, presumed dead.“One of two recovered photographs from the Stirling City Library blaze.

Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, the 12-year-old girls accused of stabbing their friend 19 times, reportedly told police that they attacked their friend hoping the violent actions would make them proxies of the Slenderman.
The Slenderman
The Slenderman, a sort of mythical, supernatural being that has a heavy presence on the Internet, mostly on horror fan sites and supernatural fiction sites. According to legend, the Slenderman is a long, lanky, faceless man who appears wearing a suit and can stretch his limbs to frightening effect. He is also sometimes illustrated as having 4 or 8 long tentacles instead of arms, which he uses to snatch children: his victims of choice.
“Often times it is either reported or recorded that he [the Slenderman] can be found in sections of the woods, and these generally tend to be suburban. He also has been reported seen with large groups of children, as many photographs portray. It is commonly...

“The medium is the message”- Marshall McLuhan
Recently, I have fallen into a bit of a Slenderman groove. I am sure this will be met with a lot of eyerolling because I am about four years late to this party but as a creation, Slenderman is a fascinating phenomenon.
Despite being visually creepy, Slenderman highlights the strength and weaknesses of the Internet simultaneously. In fact, I think Slenderman is a subversive masterpiece in terms of monster creation. Of course when Victor Surge first created him, he was just a creepy picture with minimal back story. Now he is a cultural phenomenon and terrorises the dreams and thoughts of many. What makes Slenderman a fascinating study is that he is the the personification of how modern myths work. At the core of Slenderman, most of us know he is created. You can trace back his history to specific posts and websites.
