The Slicker Man
1989. In a coastal town in Northern California, single mother Wendy Gonzalez unknowingly opens a portal to the supernatural. Invisible footsteps stomp throughout her home. Strange lights flicker in every room. Inexplicable events escalate into nightly ordeals as a vengeful spirit Wendy calls the Slicker Man emerges from the shadows to claim the modest property as his own.
As the spectral attacks intensify and Wendy struggles to protect herself and her twin daughters, her life begins to unravel. Desperate for answers, she seeks the help of a team of paranormal investigators who agree to take on her case. But when the investigators start probing the Slicker Man's mysterious origins, they unwittingly awaken a wrathful and embittered force.
As the team faces a nightmarish battle against the entity, Wendy must confront the horrifying truth about the Slicker Man and her own tragic past. In this gripping tale inspired by film classics such as The Haunting and Poltergeist, every creaking floorboard, chilling breeze, and ghostly wail carries the weight of long-buried betrayal and pain. Will Wendy and the investigators clear the Gonzalez house of evil before the woeful spirit claims more than just their sanity?
Composed as a real-life ghost story — including transcripts, interviews, and documentation from multiple eyewitnesses — The Slicker Man tells the otherworldly tale of a brave woman’s attempt to survive an ancient malevolence.
Brace yourself for a haunting journey into the unknown — where the sins of the past return with a vengeance.
