"Slender Man" is a murderous bogeyman, sort of in the tradition of Jason from the Friday the 13th movies. But he's not a product of the movie industry. He's a web creation. One guy dreamed him up. Then lots of people wrote stories about him, drew pictures of him, and so on.
'But according to police, on Saturday two 12-year-old girls lured another girl to a forest in Wakuesha, Wisconsin and stabbed her 19 times. One of the girls allegedly told police they stabbed their friend to “prove [themselves] worthy to the Slender.”'
After we heard so much about killer males last week, I was startled to be confronted again with the homicidal potential of the human female. Then I realized: it wasn't the girls' fault! A man had brainwashed them into it. A fictional man, it may be, but a man nonetheless!
They were lured into the scary hateful dark,
by an imaginary patriarch.
