When Victor Wembanyana was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs, it started a new era for this team.
As one of the most highly-touted prospects of all time, Wembanyama is expected to take over throughout the year, asserting his dominance over the league.
While Wembanyama’s potential brilliance might terrify the rest of the league, his Halloween costume was equally frightening.
In a video shared by Bleacher Report that has since gone viral, Wembanyama dressed up as Slenderman.

As one might expect, a seven-foot Slenderman quickly took over the internet, with fans expressing their admiration for the costume, while others described this costume as fuel for nightmares.
Most realistic costume I’ve ever seen

If he was anything else I would’ve been disappointed

One fan even mentioned that Wembanyama should play Slenderman in a live-action movie, should the opportunity present itself.
While Wembanyama waits for his casting call for a potential role, he’ll likely stick to the basketball court, a good thing for Spurs fans.
He helped lead the Spurs to a narrow victory over the Phoenix Suns, beating them 115-114.
Wembanyama finished the game with 18 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and four blocks.
He might not have led the team in scoring, but his impact on the boards and through several blocks cannot be understated.
Not only was Wembanyama’s pregame costume frightening to Suns fans, but his play on the court fulfilled a walking nightmare.
The Spurs are now 2-2 on the year and look forward with confidence after beating one of the best teams in the Western Conference.
Can Wembanyama continue to grow his game in the NBA to fulfill his preseason expectations?
