The Slender Man has gone from rumor, to creepypasta, to meme to horror icon in very little time. Much like the works of Lovecraft Slenderman has inspired people to create art, fiction, short films and even a video game,
Here is what Wikipedia has to say about the tall cool one: On June 8, 2009, a contest was launched on Something Awful forums to doctor actual photographs so that they contained "supernatural" entities and then pass them off as legitimate on paranormal forums. User Victor Surge doctored a series of photographs of children to show a tall, pale, faceless being with "tentacles" standing in the background. Annotations described how the children had later vanished, supposed victims of "the Slender Man". Two weeks later, Youtube user "MarbleHornets" created a series of videos comprising a "found footage" film about the Slender Man.[14] The "legend" of the Slender Man has subsequently inspired a wide range of amateur art, including the video game Slender. Slender Man is now used as a online meme...
Some of the 'Slender Series' out there are...
MARBLE HORNETS- the granddaddy of them all. Here is the most current episode...
Then there's EverymanHYBRID which gets pretty wild in its own way. Here is an intriguing early episode of the series...
I also recommended TRIBETWELVE and DARKHARVEST. And hey here is a crossover episode between the two!
There is also a short film called SLENDERMAN that will premiere on October 24th. Apparently the film was made in 48 hours. Color me impressed, I can't even get the laundry done in 48 hours...

There is plenty more to see and learn but be warned, once you learn about him he learns about YOU.
