There's a surprising amount of parallels between Tim and Brian from Marble Hornets, and Kate and Lauren from Slender: The Arrival.
I don't know if these are on purpose or not, considering they share the same writers lmao, but I still figured I'd point them out here:
Obviously the parallels between Tim and Kate: both being people who have been haunted by the Slenderman for years (if you support the theory that Kate was always doomed to be a proxy), and get their minds twisted into running around like mindless animals with masks on.
Another thing to point out between them is the fact neither of them actually want to hurt anyone, and the fact they have a friend who ropes them into delving deeper when they're trying to get away (Jay for Tim, CR for Kate).
Now the parallels between Brian and Lauren are stark, like: Both of them have friends who have been getting haunted by this eldritch monster without ever telling them, and then when they go venturing into abandoned places trying to help them it leads them to their demise.
Even the Slender Man Wiki points out the fact Lauren's death at the end is a direct parallel to Brian's!!! They both get dragged off-screen, and even the other death Lauren has where she falls to her death from the radio tower is similar to Hoody's.
The whole 'true ending' of Slender: The Arrival is just like Entry #51 of Marble Hornets, honestly.
Like please tell me I'm not the only one who's noticed this, these guys drive me insane
