There's a fabulous documentary on HBO about the Slender Man. While it centers on the stabbing in Wisconsin it also goes deep into the mythos of Slender Man and the idea of modern folk tales and internet boogey men. They interview a PhD in folk lore and he goes into great lengths about how Slender Man is a modern day Pied Piper, begging the question, is he abducting children or rescuing them? I highly recommend this film.
