Informant Comments: 

“The image of Slenderman is different than how I imagined because he doesn’t have the blades coming from his back”

Collectors Comments:

The numerous depictions of Slenderman make for varying interpretations because each story puts a slight twist on the modern horror character. For instance, I think of Slenderman as the one in this picture.
