Ask yourself: what made the cenobites scary? They weren't just you run-of-the-mill horror monsters that stalked and killed.

I know I'm probably going to regret asking this; but what da heil is a cenobite? The monsters/angels/demons/sadomasochistic explorers from another dimension that inhabit the canon of Hellraiser's many novels, movies, comics, etc. I haven't really seen any of the Hellraiser series, but the cenobites look like something I should add to the "AVOID AT ALL COSTS" list.

@Entity380, one of the things I would avoid is actually stating that the entity is the Slender Man or Der Grosse Man or whatever. One of the problems with current games and movies (and why The Arrival and The Eight Pages hasn't gone downhill) is that every protagonist knows the name of the enemy, which isn't very realistic.

If you're going to include a proxy in the film (which I would love to see one or two of), make their identity mysterious and that they aren't "friends" with the Slender Man (unless, as with my character Thanatophobia, it's in his insanity that he is friendly with it), but that they're afraid of it (as with most of the proxies will be in ALWAYS HUNTING).

One thing I will credit you for is that you have not used "Slender" or "Slenderman" in the title, which shows that you are trying to do something different in the game. Good on you ;)
