Slenderman, do you like him? (contains a video)

[Robby]

I love it when people judge Slender Man based off of the slender game.
Watch all Marblehornets entries, all ToTheArk stuff, all the TribeTwelve stuff in the dark with curtains open, then read the massive mythos and see the pictures and THEN tell me he's scary. I researched him for, what, three months and couldn't sleep easily for double that.
He isn't a jumpscare, usually he's a lingering presence, but the game ruined that aspect completely.

I have to agree here. The game made him a jumpscare, but that doesn't mean that the original Slenderman is like the one in the Slender game.

Yeah, I read a lot about him too, and he's quite creepy. And this poem also adds some creepiness to him (for me, at least).

Spoiler below!

Oh, should I travel through the woods
Or, should I not wishing I would
For above me lurks within the trees
No one can hear my deathly screams.

The palest man, the blackest suit
Bigger than the tallest brute
Six black arms will grab you up
Or, stalk you till you just give up.

A top hat bares upon his head
Makes your soul fill up with dread
He takes you when you least expect
Boil you up, and eat your neck.

He'll leave your body not to eat
But staple your corpse on a tree.
Fear the man, the slender man
For he can do, what no one can.
