I think the Doc-Ock Walk would be very nice, as well.

In any case, I think it best to combine slow and fast. For example: Say he was watching you from a distance, and then slowly began to walk towards you. Your fear mounts up, and all the hair on your body stands on end, while your stomache churns, slowly, sickeningly. You take one step back, and suddenly, almost as if on queue, he picks up his pace to a sprint, a few tentacles sprouting from his back like shadows taking solid form.

I know I would shit my pants.

Amen, brother. Amen.

I've always found the Weeping Angels style of movement terrifying. Although, slenderman not being completely still when you look at him, just moving slowly, perhaps. but when you look away, he's moved.

It's something I haven't managed to incorporate yet myself.

I agree, Quantum Lock Slendy is FUCKING SCARY. ...If I remember correctly, a good example of it in blog form is Dream In Darkness. Specifically, I'm thinking of near the end, when he's bunkered down in his room and sees Slendy outside of his house through the window.

For me, I would like to see Slendy move more like how Onryō moves in the Grudge (obviosuly the Japanese version) since I believe it's genius. And I'm not referring to the story line, but I thought it was amazing how they designed her to walk, it was arguably the scariest thing in that movie. So, I'd like to see a vlog in which Slendy moves in that sort of way, obviously not the extent that is in the movie though, but just unnatural. I can just imagine his head snapping over to look at somebody as his tentacles have this unnatural move to them, I think that would be terrifying.

The reference to Grudge techinal Slenderman moved like this in Marble Hornets 51 I liked. Could we get a huge Slenderman jump or the leap house move. Picturing the Rake moving like dinosaur liking.

I think moving is good, but sometimes not moving in a situation where he should be moving is a little creepier. it expresses control, dominance.

It's a strange lack of effort or emotion that we as humans cannot have when pursuing something, but this being can, as if he can simply pluck us from our home like flowers.

Of course, for any long-running series, movement is good at key moments, especially when mixed with a lack of motion in the early going. Just thinking that something that didn't act viciously at first is now beginning to lash out. For something obviously inhuman presents a emotion as strong as anger is....It's wordless word I'm trying to present, but that's what makes it horrifying.

For some reason the song I like the way there you move comes. Like could we have a dancing Slenderman in parodies.

I've never seen the Phantasm movies, but I know the villain, the Tall Man, moves with deliberation. It makes him look like he's power walking to a business meeting. If Slender Man walked like that (Angel's Game), it would give him a "I'm so badass, and there's nothing you can do about." look. Which would be awesome.

An example of how unnatural and creepy his movements are.
