If Slender Man succeeds on the big screen, you can pretty much guarantee there will be a stream of sequels.
Screen Gems is hoping their Slender Man can become a horror movie icon for Millennials much like Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger were for their parents.
It will be interesting to see how White and Birke manage to translate the Slender Man myth to the big screen.
The Slender Man character, if you can even call him a character, began as a hovering, mysterious figure in creepypasta Photoshop images, but presumably he’ll have to do more than just hover in the background if he’s going to make it as a horror movie villain (unless the plan is to have him be a Michael Myers-type relentless, faceless killer).
