Now that I've got your attention with my ridiculous title, let me pose a question to my fell escapists.
I'm planning on starting a screenplay that involves the Slenderman, if you don't know who that is plug it into google, and then shut the blinds after being scared down to your very soul.
My question is, is Slenderman public domain? He has become sort of a meme over the years, which is my reasoning.
Also in the book I plan to borrow the elements of a Slenderman controlling a proxy, and interfering the electronic devices in the screenplay. Both of these things come up rather frequently in "Marble Hornets" which is an episodic viral series that deals with the Slenderman, so I was wondering if by using these elements the creators of the series would have grounds to sue me.
