Why Slenderman should be a future Chapter for the game [WITH RESEARCH and Updated]
This is a redone/updated version of slenderman discussion I made in July.
I have changed Grammer, most of the wording also has been also changed, added more information and art.. I have fixed a lot of the paragraphs to make more sense while still trying to be more persuasive with again help from friends.
NOT A CHAPTER CONCEPT BUT A HISTORY OF SLENDERMAN AND MORE
THIS IS EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND EXPLANATION ON WHY SLENDERMAN SHOULD AND NEEDS TO BE A FUTURE CHAPTER AND SOME EXAMPLES OF CONCEPTS TO GET A GRIP ON WHAT HE WOULD DO INGAME WHILE ALSO INCLUDING FUN FACTS, REASONS OF HAVING HIM, AND FAN ART I MADE.
ALSO NOT FEEDBACK OR SUGGESTION SINCE I AM JUST EXPLAINING WHY HE IS PERFECT FOR DEAD BY DAYLIGHT WHILE EXPLAINING WHAT HE IS.
Depending on where you heard him from, you might differ on whether it’s a good idea. I am here to persuade and hopefully get people to wanting Slenderman in dead by daylight but also possibly to have him join.
"The Hall of Fame of Horrors"
DESIGN-WISE
Slenderman has a smooth faceless pale head, black suit with a tie, very tall with long arms, and occasionally black tentacles coming out from behind his back.
Below is one of the 2 photos of his first appearances starting his debut in 2009. The Photo was photoshopped by Eric Knudsen.
Slenderman from the fan-made 2012 game Slender the 8 Pages began his reign in the horror video game industry. The design is more simple since usually, the player can not get much close before dying from him. This version was used often to make other Slender fan games involving a school and a hospital.
This is from Slender the arrival which came out on March 26, 2013. The game kept the major design from the original slender man but with higher quality with slight changes. This time instead of a smooth head he has indents and wrinkles all over his head. His suit is much more detailed and they switched the tie color from black to red. Instead of Black gloves/hands, his hands now match his skin. Later in the game, he grows black tentacles out of his back as the player gets more pages, causing him to become more aggressive.
SLENDERMAN WALKING SHOWN IN THE VIDEO

POWERS
In tons of different media, he has multiple powers. However, I am going to stick with video game powers and other media that reference it so here are the many powers the Devs can choose from.
- Teleportation: He can teleport near the victim rather than walking, but he walks in Arrival, which I will link to the video above which is going to be pretty creepy with how he walks even though you rarely see him walk. In Dead by Daylight, you would think that either he would teleport to set locations that were marked at the start of the match or phase there in a spirit-like form.
- Shadow Tentacles: in Arrival, it is known that he has shadow-like tentacles, but he rarely uses them in Arrival. In other media forms referencing this, he can pick up and destroy stuff with them. I consider this a fact since they give him more lethality in Dead by Daylight if he were to use this ability.
- Static/Technology Malfunctions: In every game, if you get too close, he will cause your screen to become static. This is because you are not using the player's eyes, but you are using a camera view. Based on this, he may interfere with technology. So he would most likely affect Generators and Flashlights, but not stuff like Toolboxes or Medkits.
- Illusions/Sanity Breaks: In Arrival, you see changes in things such as the writings that were not there before about Slender, and warning the player about him. Also, it's known that Kate in-game, is a Proxy of Slenderman, which most likely means he drove her into insanity with illusions like the Doctor in Dead by Daylight.
- Stealth: In the games, it is shown that he can be quite stealthy while stalking until he chases down the victim.
- The 8 Pages: After the 8 pages game it seems now that he is connected to the 8 pages in a way. It's unknown who placed the pages and why Slenderman does not want anyone to have them but one thing is known is that he becomes more aggressive as each page is taken.
This art I found gave me big archive cutscene vibes so I had to put it here. You gotta admit it's very similar to what the Devs do in tome cut scenes.
PERSONALITY/LORE
This is Slenderman's Lore and personality based on his games and theories made about him but also remember it's not real.
From the first game, his personality was always to stalk down the individual who is collecting his pages and give them a game over screen, accompanied by a Jumpscare. The second game, however, is unique. He still hunts the player that is collecting the pages, but there is actual lore in Arrival which I will not spoil too much of it.
Between all the media, it’s the same. He does not stop pursuing until you either: Collect all 8 Pages; Escape the area that he is in, or Escape while carrying the 8 Pages. It’s again unknown why, in most situations, he ceases chasing the player after they collected the Pages and/or escaped the area. One theory is whoever created the Pages did something to them which protects them from Slenderman if they were to collect all Pages and/or Escape the area he is in so the person can escape alive. Maybe Slenderman is bound to some sort of rules which hinders him from hunting the player after they collected the Pages and escaped, or he is confined to the area he is in, and the pages are his memento from previous victims that he does not wish to be taken.
Slenderman usually or always shows up at night, which is unknown if it’s for a stealth approach to stalk victims or simply comes out at night. It is also recognized that he appears or turns visible when an individual is operating a camera to search around. Handling a camera when he is near makes the camera glitch and distort, which will increase as he draws closer. If someone does not have a camera. Then Slenderman would only appear to them if he wanted them to look at him. For example, 2 people are in front of Slenderman, which 1 does not see him while the other is experiencing a scare at the sight of Slenderman.
Slenderman sometimes has shadow-like tentacles growing out of his back to catch victims quickly. Tentacles are the strongest example to illustrate it because the appendages move like it possesses no bones and no detail can be observed on it. The tentacles are like lashes of shadows on his back that drain out any light that tries to illuminate on it. No suction cups like an octopus but more of like giant lethal whips that either destroy objects or impale/snatch victims. An example of this is when Slenderman is seen in Slender arrival trying to use his tentacles in a chase to catch the main character.
Even though in his naturally aggressive style there is another approach to how he attacks victims. Instead of the aggressive teleportation and murdering the victim part, occasionally he prefers to take his time. Like I stated before, he could and can affect people’s sanity to the verge of madness, which is what I am leading to talk about in a second. Most of the time he stalks his victims in the shadows slowly, causing the victim to feel like they are being watched non-stop. Once the victim shows hints of dread, Slenderman in reaction to it increases the victim’s paranoia by appearing randomly in view of the victim for a split or few seconds. Even if individuals are around where Slenderman was last appeared people do not recall seeing anything out of the ordinary which is because Slenderman only lets people see him if he wants them to see him unless they have a Camera.
Though there is 1 sign that is always apparent if he is near which is electronics emitting static noise or showing static on the screens but this varies depending on the situation. As the victim descends into madness as more Slenderman affects them, they will no longer tell what is real and what is not. When this happens Slenderman abducts the victim which they are never to be seen again.
It’s too reported that Slenderman takes interest in people investigating him. If that happens, then Slenderman will begin stalking his potential new victim. Once Slenderman has his victim in his clutches 1 out of 2 things will happen. The first possibility which is most common is which Slenderman abducts the individual and is never heard from again. The second possibility is they fell into Slenderman’s power and have driven into insanity which now they turned into a “Proxy” which are mindless yet aggressive puppets of Slenderman like an example of a proxy is Kate from Slender Arrival which she is called “The Chaser” which was revealed in a secret level when you play as Kate and when Slenderman catches her, Slenderman will say “I have plans for you Kate”.
There are a multitude of different theories on what Slenderman is which explains some of the stuff Slenderman is capable of and why. One is he is an old/ancient god-like Cthulhu who was created by H. P. Lovecraft who makes dark creatures similar to that of Slenderman but in this example imagine if Cthulhu is real. This would explain why he is powerful yet still unknown to people of the modern world. If this is correct, then would mean Slenderman would have existed for a long time and explain the many legends/folktales about him. This could again explain how his powers don’t obey the rules of reality or don’t affect him.
An interesting theory about the 8 pages is that it’s a test for Victims when facing Slenderman. Once the Victim reaches the area where Slenderman is lurking and picks up the first page the game has begun. The Victim has to run around the area avoiding Slenderman while collecting the rest of 8 pages as entertainment for Slenderman. Unlike most games, if Slenderman catches the victim it’s game over and their fate is sealed. When the Victim gets close to collecting all 8 pages Slenderman will become aggressive that he is losing and will make the Victim’s search of the pages more problematic. If the victim has collected all 8 pages, this will impress Slenderman, which he will grant the Victim a reward. The reward is straightforward, permission to escape from Slenderman’s grasp and live. Upon leaving the area the pages that the Victim has collected will disappear which explains why no one ever has successfully kept the 8 pages.
Another theory of Slenderman is the Pseudoscience theory. This theory states that Slenderman is a trans-dimensional being from another realm. This can point out why there is no explanation that can be made with science about Slenderman. Though, this can still tie him into being an Ancient God from another dimension too, since it is a possibility he can switch between realms. In most cases, for a being to hop between dimensions they got to have immense power which an Ancient god has.
Those who are being stalked by Slenderman sometimes suffer from “Slender Sickness”. Slender Sickness is an illness caused by Slenderman which causes paranoia, headaches, nosebleeds, and/or a persistent sense of dread. This happens if a victim is being overwhelmed by Slenderman’s power. Which is most likely if he is too close to the victim, such as in the same way when an electronic camera distorts and static.
Again, it's unknown why he acts this way. This is what I like about Slenderman because it means we can make tons of theories about him, and we could be right or wrong. We will never know.
BACKGROUND
Eric Knudsen created him on June 10, 2009, for a Photoshop contest about creating Paranormal images. He uploaded two black and white photos with Slenderman while also having descriptions in the point of view of some witnesses that would have seen Slenderman if he existed.
The first photo had the quote "We didn't want to go, we didn't want to kill them, but its persistent silence and outstretched arms horrified and comforted us at the same time…1983, photographer unknown, presumed dead"
The second photo had the quote "One of two recovered photographs from the Stirling City Library blaze. Notable for being taken the day which fourteen children vanished and for what is referred to as "The Slender Man". Deformities cited as film defects by officials. Fire at library occurred one week later. Actual photograph confiscated as evidence". 1986, photographer: Mary Thomas, missing since June 13th, 1986.
Soon he went viral on the Internet, having fan art, cosplays, and even horror stories called Creepypasta. Slenderman’s classic design made it easy for any artist to create art or animations with him. Also, because you can wear a morph suit under a black suit anyone could dress up as Slenderman. The simple access to producing a Slenderman costume lead to the creation of found footage videos. This leads to the production of web series called Marble Hornets, then other versions because the simplicity of Slenderman’s design made it easy to imitate or recreate. This also contributed to tons of fan films.
The reason he became so popular, according to many, is that Slenderman is shrouded in mystery. Writers can use classic Slenderman tropes to create their own stories about him and not worry about being cannon. Even though he is not real, people like to entertain themselves by making stories that seem he exists in which Eric gets a chuckle and says, “He might be real”. Even radio stations that do theories and conspiracies had phone calls about Slenderman. During this, it became known the entire world, and the internet caught “Slenderman Fever”.
He was on top of the world in horror. Anyone can use him to make horror stories with no real lore behind him. So, it gave imagination to writers which, in response, produced amazing horror stories. Then came Slender: The 8 Pages; and Slender: Arrival, which gave more ideas to writers and artists to make do with Slenderman. It introduced us to a new type of horror that was not bound to any cannon rules while still mysterious and threatening. Having multiple fan games to give us a genuine scare of the unknown. Another game created by fans is called Slenderman’s Shadow, which became very popular. The reason the game became popular is that it had 8 maps instead of one so much more gameplay for gamers and Let’s Players while also having more scares.
Later down the line, a legend was made about Slenderman, which took place in the 1600s in Germany. Instead of Slenderman in this story, they called him Der Grossman, also known as The Tall man. Discovered on Wood carvings by an unknown artist. They describe Der Grossman as a fairy that lurks in the Black Forest and is said to abduct wicked children who adventure in the Black Forest at night. Der Grossman will stalk them until they confess the foul deeds they committed to a parent.
Any story of Slenderman that’s made rarely has graphic violence or body horror. Instead, most stories leave the victim’s fate a mystery, leaving it up to the readers to guess what happened to the victim of the story. Again this is because Slenderman is shrouded in mystery and individuals want to maintain it that way so many further horror stories don’t need to follow tons of rules just the basic ones like he can Teleport, cause static, has tentacles, and another stuff Slenderman does.
Marble Hornets actually helped to extend The Slenderman Mythos by adding more lore to him. Marble Hornets introduced the Slenderman Symbol ⦻ and the idea he can interfere with video and audio recordings. Not only that, but they also introduced “Proxys” which are people who fell into Slenderman’s power/madness and became mindless violent puppets like Kate in Slender Arrival.
Ironically enough Marble Hornets helped create Slender the Arrival game which was a great idea based on the game's reviews and playthroughs.

WHY SHOULD HE BE IN DEAD BY DAYLIGHT?
Now we get to the reasons why he should or even need Slenderman in the game
- Dead by Daylight can make great use of using Slenderman based on his internet horror fame back in 2012 to 2013 Scaring video game players and causing Paranoia to horror readers.
- He was such a big horror icon when during my middle school years, which helped me also helped me graduate out of high school. I loved reading the scary Creepypastas about him. Enjoyed the scares I had when playing the games, even if I was watching someone else play it. Also, Slenderman introduced me to the Horror genre.
- Unlike most horror icons in Dead by Daylight, there was no actual way to win against Slenderman based on his 2 popular games. This brings genuine fear into Slenderman, which makes him quite terrifying to players because even if you win the game, you can never escape Slenderman.
- Slenderman has no true backstory so Devs can make him linked to the Entity like how Ghostface is but Slenderman is much more connected to the Entity than any killer In-game because of his ominous appearance and unknown backstory.
- Slenderman would be the first Urban Legend killer in Dead by Daylight.
- The Look-See is highly likely based on Slenderman so why not add the Original as a Killer.
- Slenderman was the very first horror icon that had everything about him written by random people filling in the major gaps of his story based on 2 black and white photos that was for a contest..
- Currently, he is owned by Mythology Entertainment, which Sony came to them to make that... movie. At least there is a company they can go to get the licenses to have him in-game.
- 2018 Slenderman movie did him wrong and Devs can do a lot better while maintaining source material.
- Many people thought of Slenderman coming to Dead by Daylight when certain leaks came out and showed major interest for Slenderman in an April fool's joke video.
- I did a poll not too long ago to see how many people would actually like a Slenderman Chapter and got quite a bit of votes https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/265270/slenderman-for-dead-by-daylight#latest
- Also another poll which was made by HaunterOfShadows https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/259527/part-12-how-would-you-feel-about-slender-in-dbd#latest
- I see forums about wanting him from time to time but weirdly enough on Reddit lot of people want him ingame with upvote of 800 people in 24 days and another one with 7,000 upvotes which is a Slenderman Concept in one year. [In the time I am typing this.]
- As H.P. Lovecraft once said The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. Which this quote describes Slenderman perfectly.
how would Dead by Daylight benefit from Slenderman
Here are many ways Dead by Daylight would benefit from Slenderman
- Slenderman brings the classic 2012/2013 horror nostalgia like when playing/watching classic horror games during that time so a lot of old Slenderman fans would be interested in trying out Dead by Daylight.
- Slenderman as a killer would bring tons of cash from Creepypasta fans and horror fans from the 2012 era.
- Could have a Legion Proxy skin based on Chaser [Kate] from Slender Arrival or even 4 proxy sets for Legion which would be popular with fans.
- We can have a real forest map or a map based on Slender 8 pages or Slender Arrival Oakside Park which again would bring in even more fans.
- Slenderman could be an alternative route to making killers just as powerful as Spirit but still being fun for both sides. This way you can play as a powerful killer not worrying about gen rushing or other stuff while Survivors still have ways to slow you down so they can escape while having fun. No more sweaty matches for both sides when Slenderman is out to kill.
How would Slenderman act in Dead by Daylight
This part explains how Slenderman would act like in Dead by Daylight
- Slenderman would be a terrifying killer, fun to play, and face against in-game. He has so many powers that can function well in Dead by Daylight. They can balance him while still being a possible S-tier killer. Slenderman could be bigger than Spring trap from FNAF if given the chance.
- He can have a similar yet threatening walking animation like in Arrival so he does not feel out of place because most people are used to him standing in one pose while sliding to the player.
- He can use his tentacles to pick up survivors or bash breakable stuff. You can even make pallets and doors glitch out in existence.
- His mori can be him grabbing a survivor and having their POV at Slenderman’s face and goes to static as a reference to the classic games.
- Dead by Daylight could redesign Slenderman like the Noah Summers version which I posted few pictures of below the fan-made chase music. Even though Devs could just use the Slender Arrival version with upgraded graphics which I would also love even as a skin as long it’s not the Sony movie adaptation of Slenderman.
- Slenderman’s 8 Pages could be a secondary objective to help make Slenderman’s power less effective on them but at the cost of enraging him.
- Slenderman’s perks would be something chaotic like “Hysteria” while making him harder to figure out where he is and some kind of perk that punishes the survivor if they try to escape or taunt the killer.
- Slenderman’s power would be similar in the joke video as a combination of Ghostface and Doctor but with some mechanic to move around the map without being seen unless Slenderman wants to be seen by survivors when attacking/chasing. Also, maybe some means to give wrong information to survivors to confuse them so Slenderman can provide them a giant scare.
- Another idea for Slenderman’s power is a sort of passive effect when a survivor is staring/looking at him, which could be another means to increase his power or a way to affect generators and flashlights which are mechanical/electronic.
- His add-ons could be based on the 2 popular games he is in and even includes references to other Slenderman related things including the 2 photos which he started from. Addons could indeed have some effects based on his games like Oblivious, forcing survivors to Scream, hallucinations, causing machinery/electronic to fail like Flashlights and generators, undetectable status, and a lot more. Would love to see them go to the similar addon route they did with Blight since his addons are unique and entertaining to use.
Why would the Entity choose him?
Explaining why The Entity would choose him from other killers
- Slenderman's powers cause people to become afraid and suffer from him which the Entity feeds off emotions and pain, his Cat and mouse game with the pages provide the Entity with entertainment as the survivors choose either the Generators or the Pages as both have their ups and downs.
- Slenderman is most likely as ancient as the Entity and as powerful, but he would come to her realm willingly as long there is people to play Slenderman's game. Also, he would probably ignore most of the Entity's rules if Slenderman benefits from it to catch survivors.
- Slenderman has no real motive and only thing known is his victims are never seen again after interaction with him. The unknown is what to be truly feared and that is Slenderman.
- He is unpredictable and can not be easily countered unless it's sheer luck of the survivor making it difficult for any of them to escape the trials.
Here is a perfect example of Lobby and Chase music
An outstanding redesign of him by Noah Summers
Some concepts
EVEN ONE IS AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE WHICH QUITE A BIT OF PEOPLE WERE DISAPPOINTED THAT WAS NOT REAL
AGAIN VIDEO ABOVE IS APRIL FOOLS JOKE NOT REAL
I liked the April fools joke one because it shows many people would have liked to see him in-game and showed a lot of interest.
Then there was something on Twitter about the possible Slenderman chapter cause the DBD logo had all the faces removed like Slenderman with no face which again people were kinda hyped for which is heard from here.
Also turns out he has been requested killer for a while, found him on number 4 when I was watching this a day later after I posted the outdated discussion in July. PS you can tell it's old since has Ghostface on the cover lol. Funny enough in every most request killers video Slenderman always pops up.
Another when which he is ranked 9
Also sad thing is Slenderman was not mentioned on the satisfaction survey this year when you reached the part about licensed chapters.
You could type in Slenderman in the box when it says "Did we forget something" but I just think he is not in here because not a lot of the community speaks up about Slenderman unless its content creators or Devs don't consider him a future chapter which breaks my heart if it's true.
So Devs can have Slenderman and seems to have no problem having him as a future killer except they consider Slenderman not being able to touch people an issue. Just have his Pick up and grab animation with Tentacles like Pin head with his chains.
Sawpalin Stream is old which you can tell since it's the old hud which was long before Pin Head was being made into a killer so since Pin Head breaks the "Can't interact with survivors" reason since he uses chains and Slenderman can use his tentacles which means he can now be a possible killer.
Bottom here is Art I made for Slenderman in Dead by Daylight to show how cool he would be in Dead by Daylight also using my Forum name not my Steam name.
If you read and looked at everything I posted then thank you for going through it all until the end. Please post your thoughts below and tell me if you would love to see Slenderman in Dead by Daylight.
Yes I saved this for Halloween

I mean, good on you for all this - but most of your research and lore is for The Operator, made by Marble Hornets, not Slenderman from the SomethingAwful forums. Slendy even has a face - many, in fact - because he takes the guise of a trusted authority figure. His garb, voice, and face change depending on who views him: the reason we get blank faces is because photographic/electronic media doesn't capture his memetic effects, though the sigma radiation/slender sickness does corrupt them.
I'm down for Slenderman in DBD, I just want a deeper dive than what 8-Pages, Arrival, and Slender offer.
1 -
I actually did wanna include that part but....maxed out the characters I could use so I just stuck with what a majority describe him as.
Like mention somewhere in this "Forgot where" but Character from SomethingAwfuls was indeed different but once the internet and marble got a hold of it the previous creature turned into the Slenderman we all know today.
Was a unfinished canvas that the Internet finished.
Also forgot to mention that Mythology Entertainment in 2019 was splitting up and the rights to Slenderman would be unknown....so kinda unsure who actually owns him now which might be a good thing since there is a possibility we won't get Sony's Slenderman.
1 -
I getcha - didn't know there was a character limit.
I wrote a 100-odd page dissertation about Slendy as a depression thinkpiece in my early 20s, based on the evolution of the character. Added even more to that over the years. Something about the concept can really suck some of us in, you know?
Again, I'd really like to see something do this character justice.
1 -
About now your writings will be the size of a english dictionary if you continued writing it.
Agree about how the concept can suck you into it. Like H.P. Lovecraft once said "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown" and that describes Slenderman 100% because he is the unknown which is what makes him so interesting.
Also yeah Slenderman needs some Justice from the crap that happened to him....mostly for that unholy and awful movie that had nothing remotely close to what Slenderman is.
1 -
I still don't get how so many people got wrapped up in a SomethingAwful photoshop.
0 -
To be honest, me either but loved the outcome that came out from it.
Good times in middle school playing the Slender games and the fan games while reading some Creepypasta.
What's funnier is he was an entry for a "Paranormal" Photoshop contest
0 -
I was in SomethingAwful when that happened, and the entire craze around it has always felt like I was watching everyone blow up over joke fanart some dude made.
Also, just saying, Slenderman had a (bad) movie, so I'm not entirely sure, but licensing might be required to add him to the game.
0 -
Yeah some of the craze was....unwanted. I mostly just liked the horror that came from it rather than the "Memey Slender vs Gaster" stuff.
Also Slenderman movie was a cash grab of a wonderful concept turned into a joke. Blum House studios would have done a better job at making the Movie. I would prefer Slenderman from Blue Isle Slender games to be the best presentation to introduce Slenderman to others.
About Licensing Devs can try to get Blue Isle's Slenderman version since 2019 no one really knows who owns him so why not try get the best version of Slenderman out there.
0 -
Well, at least this got attention for a bit.
0 -
For next time, I'd suggest fewer pictures. It was really a lot to read, and it's neat that you're passionate, but keeping it to one, relatively small image is likely to scare fewer readers away.
0 -
I'd love a Slender chapter, mostly cos I was around for that craze and loved the story of the arrival and marble hornets, but I can also absolutely see why other people see it as cringey like FNAF and it's also a bit dated at this point.
0 -
Same and ya it can be seen as Cringy but only if you watch the "3 AM Challenge" or some stuff like that......dear god
Thanks and also don't think that's the reason since in the video with Matt and Slenderman it was explained that reason why he was not ingame was because he had no way to attack survivors. Based on the live feed it was using the old hud which was changed somewhere before February and March which is also before Pinhead.
Reason why Pinhead fits in this is because he had no way to attack people based on his films but the devs were able to make Pinhead attack survivors with chains coming out of portals. This part is important because Slenderman has shadow tentacles coming out of his back which is used to grab/attack people. Since that argument was made before Pinhead was made into a killer with a non-contact attack, this means now Slenderman can be a possible killer because the main reason why he was not ingame is now broken because of Pin head.
Ps sry for Late response but forums was acting weird on my side for a while and not letting me post a comment for some reason.
