Slender Man

Slender Man is a game based on an urban legend. The 3D version is better than the 2D version, and does have its scary moments. Some kids may find slender man a little hard to handle, whereas will probably laugh at the games that have tried to be more about gore than creepy fear.

Slender Man became the phenomenon it is today because Slender Man is so freakin’ scary. Most people can understand that Slender Man is not real and was created in a photo contest, however, most people know that vampires don't exist but that doesn't stop them from sleeping with the lights on after watching a scary vampire flick.

There have been many articles published on the web about how Slender Man has made people feel and how they cope with the feelings that he brings about inside them.

Some of the more common ways that people deal with their irrational fear of Slender Man is overcoming the fear with over exposure. The more that people are exposed to something that frightens them, the less fearful they will become over time, rendering Slender Man harmless. Some others will assume that Slender Man is their own personal demon which they must overcome. They see it as a vice that they must give up. Empowering themselves is an option that most people take. Knowledge is power and if you have knowledge over something that causes fear, you can control that fear. While these options work great on Slender Man, they can also work on other phobias that plague the populace.
