I love me some internet urban myths. If you’ve stumbled through the more horror-themed parts of the web in the middle of the night as I have, then you’re likely more than a bit privy to the various creepypastas and myths that permeate it. One such myth to really take hold a few years back was that of the Slender Man.

This creature first showed up in obviously-photoshopped photos, where children played on a playground with a mysterious, tall, suited figure in the background. Like all good mythical beasts, this thing preyed on children and has pretty much been nightmare fuel ever since. Now, the character is set to hit the big screen.

In this film, a girl goes missing, and her friends seem to think good ol’ Slendy is the dastardly creature responsible. Thus begins the journey that sends them down a rabbit hole of horror we’re to experience with them.

Below is the official response:

“In a small town in Massachusetts, a group of friends perform a ritual in an attempt to debunk the lore of SLENDER MAN. When one of them goes mysteriously missing, they begin to suspect that she is, in fact, HIS latest victim.”
