Kids screwing around with video cameras ending up with something much more sinister to deal with and only find out when it's way too late. At the same time the best slender stories are ones that are just as much about the mystery as slenderman himself. Having the protagonist have a previous encounter is kind of a big thing and you might want to draw that reveal out. Maybe leave some subtle hints but save th actual reveal for maybe the 3rd act, kind of like the Silent Hill 2 "Oh yeah, I killed my wife" moment. One of the big things about slenderman is memory, specifically memory loss so having a protagonist that has amnesia or doesn't remember before X amount of years ago would make sense but this may be obvious forshadowing so not bringing it up might be a good idea.

You may also want to add some more characters, people who can go missing, be killed or turned proxy.

I'm just throwing ideas out here. That's dangerous because then you end up in the category of shit movies that all the sudden OH YEAH HEY SO HE HAS AMNESIA.

Silent Hill 2 didn't happen. That movie doesn't exist. Stop mentioning it.
