It's because he stands there....MENACINGLY!!!!

I think it's more of a psychological horror than anything else. Slenderman is supposed to always watch and he just appears and disappears at will so no place is safe because he will find you. In most series he doesn't directly hurt anyone rather he brainwashes people that he stalks to do his bidding. The scariness of the mythos comes from the fear of being watched or stalked, the fear of not being able to trust people and getting betrayed because of his power over people, and the fear of losing your own will, combined with the fact that technology doesn't work and doesn't help makes for a pretty scary combination for some. You also lose time when you're getting stalked by him. So it's a different sort of scariness I guess.
