A much scarier tale is the HBO documentary Beware the Slenderman, in which all the horrors are human.
However, as the female characters are denied all agency in their struggle with the Slenderman, the whole thing ends up being another nihilistic mess. Slenderman himself is sort of what you'd expect if a committee work-shopped the creation of a mythical creature -- he's a tall, faceless guy in a suit.... with tentacles that sprout out of his back! And a magical house somewhere in the woods! And three bells announce his arrival! Ouch. Not recommended.
