To make matters worse, I have a strong suspicion they'll start the movie out with some lazy fourth-wall thinning bullshit. You know, like white text on a black background saying "Almost everyone considers Slenderman to be a myth, a character made up by horror enthusiasts on the internet and spread by websites like Creepypasta.com. But what if....."

They probably won't acknowledge the Wisconsin stabbing outright, but you're probably right that they'll weave in inspiration from it.
