Slender Man is haunting the new year with its first trailer.

Slender Man originated as an internet meme, with the lanky, faceless figure in a black suit rising to mainstream prominence after two 12-year-old girls lured a friend into the woods in Wisconsin and attempted to stab her to death, claiming they were committing the crime in Slender Man's name.
