Slender Man is a paranormal creature, described as a devil or an evil ghost, faceless, tall, thin, dressed in a black suit, which kidnaps people, especially children, to kill them. Initially appeared on a series of photos on the internet, Slender Man has seen his popularity grow over the years, and even became the first true Internet phenomenon, making himself known worldwide. Slender Man has become so popular that today he is one of the best known creepypastas in the world, he has been mentioned in thousands of fan stories, in hundreds of small horror films, and he even was entitled to its own series of horror games: Slender. The purpose of these games is very simple: find the eight pages before Slender Man reaches to catch you. However, the last game, Slender: the Arrival, has a richer and pushed scenario, plunging deeper into the Slender Man myth. Yes, a myth is created around the legendary monster, making him even more complex and real to us. It is even said that its origins date back to the Middle Ages. A song was even created for Slender Man, by Zip Zipper. A slow and dark melody, with children's laughter and macabre singing, which defines very well the monster.
Physically, Slender Man is like a man, but very tall (almost 10 feet high). He has a bald and pale head, faceless, which prevents guessing its expressions. His arms and legs are very thin and disproportionate, like the fingers of his hands clawed, which looks almost like branches. He wears a black suit with a black tie sometimes, sometimes red, it depends. Yes, Slender Man is a monster, but a monster who knows how to dress himself. Slender Man has many powers. First, he can teleport himself, which makes him even more dangerous, and it becomes impossible to escape. He seems bind to the trees, because he is often in forests, at night and of course, you will meet the monster and become its target. Once he took someone as target, Slender Man leaves him no respite, making the life of the person like hell, to the point to make him crazy and break the morally before killing him, or turn him into a proxy, a creature resembling a ghoul and serving Slender Man. Because yes, the Slender Man also has servants, mostly humans being transformed.
He can also make appear tentacles of his back, to move faster, or also to catch his victims. Slender Man appears to influence the electrical systems, because when he's present, the lights start to flicker, and the cameras fail or sizzle. Slender Man has no pity for his victims, regardless the age. In general, he does not kill its victims immediately, preferring scare them first, see them panic and run, see them attempt to flee while it's impossible, thus showing that Slender Man is a sadistic monster who likes to play with his prey before devouring it.
For being a global phenomenon, one of the most famous monsters in the world of the paranormal and an icon of fear, Slender Man deserves his place in the list of the greatest villains.
