* SpiderLimbs: Slender Mans tentacles turn into rigid spider limbs when chasing Hallie.
* SummoningRitual: The plot of the movie begins when the main characters hear that Tom and his friends are attempting to summon Slender Man at their own sleepover and decide that it'd be fun for them to try too. It was as easy as loading up a video online and just watching it, apparently.
* TooDumbToLive: Chloe, who was told several times not to remove her blindfold and gaze upon Slenderman for it can lead to death, madness, or worse, becomes startled when the girls second summoning ritual begins to work and immediately removes her blindfold to investigate. She is almost immediately driven to suicidal lunacy afterwards.
