It was cooked up by users on the forum Something Awful as part of a paranormal pictures contest, and it may have been inspired by the German “Der Großmann” monster first talked about in the 16th century. The Slender Man creature is a relatively recent creation. As the police arrive in a large field, we see a girl slowly approach, her mouth covered in a black liquid, and it’s unclear if she’s under his control. Without warning, he appears in front of a girl and extends his arm, which has several smaller tentacles growing off of it, before the camera cuts away. The trailer shows children having nightmares and being forced into mental institutions, but it only offers a small glimpse of the Slender Man, who stands behind fog in a forest, much like he did in the original game. A few show him using his arms like Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man, and it appears the fear of the monster could be more dangerous than the monster himself.
As she approaches a wall, several drawings of the Slender Man and his victims can be seen. Next, we see a girl walk past a crib mobile that has small dolls hung in nooses rather than the usual adorable animals we’d expect. “Where is my daughter?” a man asks in the movie’s first trailer as police search through a forest with flashlights. Overall, this trailer is a bit more focused on the central cast, whereas the first put more of an emphasis on selling us on the titular monster and the trauma it inflicts on its victims. We’ve got a scene set in what looks to be an asylum as well as a shot of the teens walking into the woods to summon Slender Man. Upon hacking into Katie’s computer, the group stumbles across a ritual meant to summon Slender Man, which they decide is how they’re going to rescue their friend.Īt that point, the trailer kicks into high-gear, taking us on a quick jump through several classic horror tropes. This scene gives us the trope of an obsessive’s room covered in drawings and photos of the object of their obsession, in this case, Slender Man. Her friends, however, aren’t convinced and eventually they stumble onto evidence of Katie’s obsession with Slenderman. As is usually the case in these types of movies, the police assume the girl simply ran away from home. It also helps to showcase the group’s friendship which, if done well, could go a long way toward making us care about these characters and their fates.įrom that point, we move on the disappearance of the character Katie and the town’s reaction. Opening with a Twitter poll and complaints about getting out of their “stupid town” might be a bit of a cliché, but it does a decent job of giving us some information about the main characters’ lives, interests, and frustrations. The trailer starts off by giving us a closer look at our main characters and their lives before the horror of Slender Man.
The trailer gives us a better look at the titular monster, as well as a reference to the image that spawned him on the SomethingAwful forums. This trailer follows a group of teenagers as they attempt to unravel the mystery of a friend’s disappearance. YouTube personalities shared their terrified reactions as they were repeatedly scared by the long-limbed, mysterious “Slender Man.” Now, the infamous monster is the focus of his own movie, Slender Man, and the film’s second trailer sheds some new light on the movie’s plot and main cast.
Slender: The Eight Pages and its sequel Slender: The Arrival became indie horror phenomenons after the games were released in 20, respectively.
