I see your point, although that kind of logic is a bit silly to me, because one could surpass the original -insert bad pasta name here- by making something new and of their own that is completely better. I'd say that is way better than being in the shadow of the original, even if one does a better job, they still didn't come up with the concept.

Any idea if The Slenderman Cometh was one of them? I read it a year or so ago and I think I enjoyed it since the name has stuck with me, but don't really remember it.

I don't know, I still find it to be a bit of a waste in a way similar to movie reboots. I'd rather have something new and exciting rather than a retread, although sequels can be fun at times.
