Have you ever played Slender?
Hands down. Scariest. Game. Ever!
Our family has been playing this free-downloadable a bit... and if you can first-time play this in a darkened room without emitting even one girly scream....? well actually I do not believe anyone can!
When I was a kiddie growing up Halloween was completely unknown in Australia. When I had my own children we'd heard of it by then but it was not observed at all. Nowadays it is creeping in! stalking up on us like Slender Man upon its prey.... ;)
And Tim wanted to be the Slender Man.
Of course one is interested in what one's children are interested in, right? and the funny thing is that my adult children and their friends have Halloween parties and love to dress up, any excuse for a party....! So yeah.
I even went out today and bought some mini Mars bars too, in case we got some trick-or-treaters.... hoo boy, I am mellowing out; hehe!
I made a Slender Man mask. It is as close a copy as I could get to a morph mask. I made it using a white poly/lycra from Fabulous Fabrics; very light and thin and stretchy stooff. The front has a "chin" and I put in a short zip at the back to help put it on over his head. The zip I had leftover from when I was making these little jeans purses.
The verdict: True story...
I looked up and he was suddenly there, in the room, and I admit to a small double take.
I'm like, "ooh that's spooky, Tim."
Silence.
"Tim?"
More silence. Brief moment of freaked out hesitation...
"Tim!?"
Finally he says, "yeah, so whaddya think?"
I'm like, " Whoar, don't scare me like that!!"

Later edit: don't worry, Tim did not go door-knocking... this outfit was worn to a private party only :)
