I mean as a reader, sure, slenderman is meant to be scary because he's essentially a lot of nothing but with deadly consequences lol. Indecipherable nonsense but you're life depends on the deciphering of it...which is impossible, cuz its nonsense.

But as a writer there's no reason not to pick apart slendy and all that to see what makes it tick. If I'm allowed to make a comment like this: thats what horror writing is, its seeing why things are scary and then weaponizing it against unsuspecting readers/viewers/etc.
