Prior to the release, the producers shopped the film to other distributors following disagreements with the studio regarding the release and marketing strategy. Ramin Djawadi and Brandon Campbell composed the score for the film. In January 2017, Sylvain White was announced as the director of the film and the producers would be Mythology's James Vanderbilt, and William Sherak, Madhouse's Robyn Meisinger, and No Dream's Sarah Snow. Sony's Screen Gems was in talks with Mythology Entertainment, Madhouse Entertainment, and It Is No Dream Entertainment to produce and distribute the project. In May 2016, news outlets reported that Sony Pictures had started developing Slender Man, a film based on the supernatural mythical character created by Eric Knudsen, with the screenplay to be written by David Birke.

Wren tells Hallie that the sacrifices they gave Slender Man were not enough Slender Man only wants the girls and won’t stop until he takes them. Hallie discovers Wren had attempted to come into contact with the Slender Man again, with the help of Lizzie. Soon, Lizzie, Hallie's younger sister, suffers a major panic attack and is sent to the hospital and sedated. Wren, suffering from frightening visions, searches for a solution while Hallie unsuccessfully attempts to move on. Sometime later, the Slender Man enters Chloe's house and drives her insane. Chloe panics, opens her eyes, and comes face to face with the Slender Man. Wren, who has researched Slender Man mythology, warns Hallie and Chloe not to open their eyes while the three are making contact with the Slender Man for fear of death or madness. Wren brings some handmade pottery, Chloe a picture of her and her dad before he died and Hallie brings her little sister Lizzie’s blanket, made by their grandmother. Katie, being unhappy living alone with her alcoholic father, wanted the Slender Man to take her.Īfter talking to the same girl Katie had, the three girls decide to make contact with the Slender Man in an attempt to get Katie back in exchange for something that they love. The three discover that Katie had been involved in the occult and that she had been in contact, online, with a girl who told her how to contact Slender Man.

A week later, Katie disappears, and the other three girls go to her house to look for clues. In a small town in Massachusetts, four friends-Wren, Hallie Knudsen, Chloe, and Katie Jensen-summon the Slender Man.
