It doesn't matter. All of you who would even consider that "Slenderman" might be real are so new to the internet, you need a booklet and a tour guide to help you out. Otherwise, you'd know that the website Reddit, which is only a few steps above 4chan quality-wise, invented "Slenderman" as part of a campaign to create the creepiest mythical creature. All the documentation and evidence is only part of the ruse, designed to make it look more official and therefore more entertaining.
Welcome to 2012, people. You can't even trust your own eyes.

Do you have any idea what it's like to have a SEVERE eye phobia and come across that picture? Thanks a lot, now I have to go find my cat. I inadvertently launched her across the room when I saw that pic.

Anyway long story short I was talking to the director afterword to get a sense of his artistic direction and he mentioned slenderman.
He brings up the whole slenderman is fake and it was part of an interweb prank to try and start a new urban legend.
As soon as he said that it jogged my memory and I remember someone running a contest to start the best new urban legend.
I just never followed through to see what the results were.
