History Franchise / TheSlenderManMythos

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1SKDkWFdkM&feature=channel&list=UL Slender: The Musical!]]

There is an enigmatic figure that hides in the darkness of the world. It is most often seen as a tall, thin man dressed in a formal suit with long, strange arms and a face like a [[TheBlank blank slate]]. Where he comes from is as much a mystery as what he wants.

His presence is associated with paranoia and sometimes a strange sickness, and those who see him are frequently found to be maniacally writing strange messages, and drawing mad scribbles of a dark, faceless figure. It is advised to avoid investigating too much lest you get entrenched too deep... and find yourself the subject of his unwanted interest.

And now he even has his own [[http://www.parsecproductions.net/slender/ video game]] simply titled ''{{VideoGame/Slender}}'', available for free. Soon to be a live action movie simply titled Entity. Main site with teaser trailer [[http://whatistheentity.com/ here]].

** ObserveAndTerminate and [[http://noplansnoprototypenobackup.blogspot.com/ Upload Commencing]] have near future sci-fi elements.

** webvideo/TribeTwelve references this in the video where Noah flies to meet the hybrids. On the plane, he shows that it is raining outside, and says it makes him nervous [[spoiler: then Slendy teleports into the plane]].

** There's also ''[[www.whatistheentity.com Entity]]''.

Not to be confused with [[ChzoMythos The Tall Man]], [[Film/{{Phantasm}} the other Tall Man]][[note]]Well, probably..[[/note]], Film/TheThinMan, [[Film/{{Metropolis}} the other Thin Man]], or [[CharliesAngels Creepy Thin Man]].

* cool old guy: Nathaniel Crowley, the creator of the Reintergration tablet AI, once he warmed up to the irregulars. for Bahamut's sake, he volunteered to be the neutral judge of RAP BATTLE between an interdimensional entity and one of teh irregulars. in his 60's. dedicated his entire life to fighting the OC (you know who).
* crowning moment of heartwarming/what maner is a non human: when the Reintegration tablet AI died screaming, quite a few posters we VERY upset, saying that the tablet was not just a machine, and that they wanted to try to save it. one discribed it as "not just a machine, it was someone you could go to when you needed help.

* Aiisacrapshoot:Averted. the Reintergration Tablet is extremely intellegent, capablie of manipulating reality itself to a limited degree over time in pursuit of "reintegration", extremely dedicated to its purpose of "reintergration...and is/was one of the irregulars most active allies,providing information, monentary support to those in need and MOREL support, trying to keep up morale and showing genuine concern for its contacts. AND the stated effects of reintegration for humanity are beneficial, and are claimed to have no effects on individuality. and the tablet has no record of deliberately falsifying information.

** Somewhat averted, as a non canon counterpart, 'Splendor Man' seems to be benign.

** It's been said that Slender Man's appearance was inspired by another creature in mythology, who saves people from dying a painful death by taking them to the underworld early.

*** WebVideo/TribeTwelve has [[spoiler: Noah Maxwell, Mary Asher, and Milo, all of whom had regular, or semi-regular, contact with Slender Man during childhood. Noah's grandfather, Karl, also grew up in a German community near the Black Forest that used folktales of the "Great Man", who supposedly lived in the woods, to [[ScareEmStraight frighten their children into obedience]]. It should be noted, however, that Karl did not have a direct encounter with Mr. Tall, Dark and Faceless until adulthood.]]

Or, if you prefer: The Slender Man is an internet character originating from Website/SomethingAwful, created by user Victor Surge in a create-your-own-{{Creepypasta}} contest. It soon reached memetic status, spreading through several blogs and videos, and quickly became the horror we know and fear today.

** [[http://www.slendermanfilm.com Apparently, there's a Slender Man movie coming out in August.]] Since there's little to no information on the website, it's often theorized to be a hoax/joke.
