The 'man', the myth, the legend; Slender Man's popularity has soared so high since his inception on Something Awful that the faceless - but classy, we can't forget that - paranormal entity now belongs to wider world of pop culture as this generation's Bogeyman. In fact, Slender Man has become a vessel of entrepreneurship. Thanks - at least in part - to Slender: The Eight Pages and Slender: The Arrival, alongside games like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the Survival Horror genre got a new lease on life after a lull in popularity for all things designed to make you stain your underwear. The defenceless player versus an enigmatic, supernatural force that persistently trails your every move is a trope that's enjoyed massive success since Slender: The Arrival helped to popularise it. Indeed, it's the character's legacy that's helped it to secure a place here more than anything else. Don't take that as a snub towards Slender's scary factor though, I certainly wouldn't want to see that face (or lack thereof) in a dark alley, or anywhere else for that matter.
