One must wonder what he will do to her....
As perhaps the most infamous Creepypasta character, it's no surprise that the Slender Man has inspired his fair share of nightmares.

Please note that Dark Harvest, Everyman HYBRID, Marble Hornets and Tribe Twelve already have pages.


  • He can be anywhere. No. Really.
    • As the saying goes: "He only exists if you're thinking about him. Now try not to think about him."
    • People love theorizing he first came into being in the Blog!Slenderverse (or maybe the Slenderverse as a whole) thanks to so many stories and so many people thinking about him. ...That sounds familiar...
  • The Slender Man made a guest appearance in the horror comic Dylan Dog... Chasing a little girl and her family all around the world, with his passage accompained by mass disappearances among children, with Dylan being a child himself at the time of the encounter. What was happening? Did it even happen at all? Dylan isn't sure, he just knows that, of all the horrors he met (including The Devil himself), the Man Without Face is the only one who truly leaves him helpless, even in memory. Especially in memory, as they never met again.
  • Hell, the Slender Man is terrifying with minimal context; he's an unnaturally tall, thin, faceless man in a suit, who seemingly decides to stalk you for the rest of your life... completely at random. You will never be free. Your friends? Hell, don't bother going to them, they're probably working for him! Your children? Poof. Gone. Like they never existed. No one will ever believe you if you tell them the truth... until it's too late and you're worse than dead, or they're dragged into it. And you'll never know why.
