"Doesn't that mouth monster thing just pop up out of no where? That's freaky."
That's why the idea of Slenderman is still kinda creepy to me. Knock the game all you want, but I think of him as a rogue Man in Black - not the Will Smith kind, I mean the ones that have blank faces and have shown up everywhere in history to basically just tell people to shut the fuck up about stuff.
It wouldn't even have to be him, it could be any shady tux guy showing up out of nowhere to tell me to stop talking about that other freaky thing I just witnessed. I mean, imagine it: you see the carcass of an unidentifiable animal on the sidewalk at night, and you shrug it off to be one of those stupid hoax things, when suddenly a really tall guy with elongated limbs smiles at you and, with his face nearly touching yours, tells you, "If you tell anyone about that, I'm going to fucking murder you." And then he orders you to leave - he's not taking one step until you get the hell out of there. And the whole time, his open mouth is staring at you with inexplicable glee.
I dunno, the idea always scared me more than the game or videos did.
