And Then John Was a Zombie: During one sequence while Wren is being terrorized in the library, Slender Man steals her face so she looks exactly like him. Luckily, it's only a hallucination. | |

| Slender Man / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: A very strange example. Tom and Chloe's fates are left unclear in the film itself, but a trailer indicates both committed suicide due to having to deal with Slender Man. This is confirmed in the official script. | |

Although it’s a bit of a subversion as while she intended to sacrifice herself, when Slender Man is actually about to take her, she freaks out and tries to run for her life, not that it does her any good. She certainly does not Face Death with Dignity. | |

Summoning Ritual: The plot of the movie begins when the main characters hear that Tom and his friends are attempting to summon Slender Man at their own sleepover and decide that it'd be fun for them to try too. It was as easy as loading up a video online and just watching it, apparently. | |

| Slender Man / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Hallie concludes that giving herself up to Slender Man is the only way to save her sister from the same fate. It must have worked, as Lizzie gives the ending narration to the movie. Although it’s a bit of a subversion as while she intended to sacrifice herself, when Slender Man is actually about to take her, she freaks out and tries to run for her life, not that it does her any good. She certainly does not Face Death with Dignity. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Slender Man / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: In the trailer we see a girl stab herself with a knife in the middle of a class, splattering another girl in her blood and a boy walk off of a roof in broad daylight. It is safe to assume that the Slender Man is influencing these events in some form due to the fact that the girl is clearly hesitant to go through with the act, but does so anyways. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Slender Man / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Due to the cut scenes from the film, the exact fates of Chloe and Tom remain undisclosed from the film proper. While the removed scene of Chloe committing suicide out of madness, along with the fact that Lizzie groups Chloe up along with her dead friends/sister, can give an explanation to those willing to accept that it happened off screen, Tom's fate is never seen or even mentioned by anyone but looking at the trailer and a VFX Breakdown from Temprimental Films, one can surmise that the Slender Man coerced him into committing suicide by jumping off the roof of the school. | |

And I Must Scream: A likely fate for those captured by Slender Man.

Kindhearted Simpleton: Chloe is this as while she did bring her death onto herself, she is still the sweetest person in this movie (next to Lizzie). Her childhood about her father is quite heartbreaking compared to the rest of her friends. Whatever happened to her, even if she bought it on herself, it was probably awful. Thankfully, many people who actually prefer this ending think she's still alive (albeit without any eyes). | |

Easily Forgiven: Wren tricks Hallie's younger sister Lizzy into performing the Slender Man ritual to save her own skin, resulting in Lizzy becoming comatose. While Hallie is rightfully furious when she finds out it only takes her one pretty harmless confrontation with Wren to decide it's water under the bridge. | |
