(Anonymous) 2012-09-21 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)-The facelessness. Human beings are programmed to look for faces, to the point that we'll see them in things that don't have them. So something that has no face where a face should be throws us off guard.
-The distorted proportions. Again, this hits our instinctual "warning buttons" that something is deeply off. It looks human, but not enough to be convincing.
-The silence and apparent lack of communication. There is no way to reason with this being.
-He appears in daylight and can teleport. Nowhere is safe.
-Child abduction. This one is terrifying for anyone who has kids.
-Organ removal.
-Slendersickness. There doesn't appear to be a cure.
-He appears to some people and not others, so if he appeared to you, you would have very few people who would believe you.
-In some of the earlier SA forum posts, slendy appeared as a totally convincing, ordinary human being, and his facelesness could only be viewed on film. Buckets of paranoia fuel.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-21 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)Also adding:
-Messing with technology. In this age, we rely a LOT on things like mobile phones, cameras, computers, laptops, etc. Slendy renders our sophisticated technology useless.
-Memetic nature. Some have theorized that Slendy is a "tulpa" or "thoughtform" which can manifest into reality if enough people think about him. Even more paranoia fuel.
-Force of nature. In the early days, Slendy was associated with the forest, fire and water. Slenderman itself is practically a force of nature - uncontrollable, unpredictable, unstoppable - and brings back our old fear of these things.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-22 12:25 am (UTC)(link)So. I knew nothing about Slender Man before seeing this secret. And the first two things you listed (-The facelessness... -The distorted proportions...) didn't bother me at all.
But everything else you've said, and its combination thereof, has seriously creeped the fuck out of me.
Which means I've got to go forth and check this thing out.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-22 01:09 am (UTC)(link)The most popular Slender Vlogs are Marble Hornets, Everyman HYBRID, and Tribe Twelve. They can all be found on Youtube.
For Blogs I'd suggest:
The Tutorial ( http://getuphigh.blogspot.com/2010/06/time-to-sit-down.html )
Seeking Truth ( http://openthedoorandyouwillfindme.blogspot.com/2010/03/assignment.html )
Just Another Fool ( http://jafool.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/this-is-what-happens/ )
Dreams in Darkness (http://dreamsindarkness91.blogspot.com/2010/05/and-life-in-general.html )
If I recall correctly Dreams in Darkness was the only one with a definitive ending when I last read them.
