I don't think slenderman had been invented when this film was done... it was filmed in 2009 but not released til 2012. Slenderman was invented some time in 2009. (and even if slenderman had started picking up in trending while they were filming, I really don't know that the writers would have been able to guess how 'popular' it would get. There are a lot of 5-second trends on the internet.)

And unless I'm mistaken (which is totally possible!) I thought creepypasta referred to the whole internet-urban-legend genre? So wouldn't a lot of the monsters you see in passing quality?

Anyway my 2c.
