Slender Man
Slender Man is a supernatural figure that originated from Eric Knudsen's Internet meme titled 'Victor Surge' on the Something Awful forum in 2009. The character is portrayed as an abnormally tall and thin humanoid with an amorphous white head and face, donning a black suit. The Slender Man is infamous for stalking, kidnapping, or psychologically tormenting individuals, predominantly children, as depicted in various stories involving him. The meme quickly proliferated across the Internet, sparking an abundance of fan art, cosplay, and online fiction works, which fostered a broad-ranging mythos encompassing a multitude of disparate creations spanning literature, visual arts, and video series such as Marble Hornets.
