I don’t quite understand still the authors motivation for writing this story. I came to this interview after finishing it because I just wanted to get what was going through the authors mind when they finished this story and I’m still completely stumped. This was recommended by so many people and I ended up wasting 3 hours of my life listening to some interesting buildup for a complete batshit insane, nonsensical ending. Not only is it just gross for no reason, the worst part is it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. This story seems to be praised for its "realism" and good writing whilst not being too edgy, but I truly cannot understand how anyone can say that if they think about it for more than 15 minutes. The logistics alone of the operation make no sense especially for a Missouri town in the 1950/60s? Idk sorry for the hate I’m just confused and baffled that this story that was recommended to me for so long and is probably one of the worst I’ve read.

People it is ivil not spiritual

Evil may friend if the person don't serf God in life that stuff will happen som time

HAHAHAH THE CAT 32:40

This is really cool that you got to talk to the actual creator and interview him. Also the fact that Candle Cove is canonical to his other series is really cool aswell, little sad tho that we’ll likely never see more of candle cove due to the rights being signed over (personally didn’t like channel zero too much). It’s also cool that Candle Cove takes place in West Virginia since I live there

Second story like the??

This reminds me a lot of the game the man in the window

What was the project he helped work on that he mentioned at the end? I wanna read it. Also amazing interview, i really enjoyed it!

This was great. Two of the original members of TLO who know Ligotti personally. Fascinating interactions. I am sure this will be referenced by weird fiction scholars in the future.

Late to the party but what is this new story Ted is working on? Does anyone know if it’s come out yet?

Nick, I like listening to you but please consider a little piece of advice. Generally your voice is very low and tentative so you convey low self-esteem. Dude, you are a published author with a podcast and you're always welcomed on shows like Lovecraft E-Zine. Sound confident! It will help you win more listeners, I think. I'm shy and I think you are too, so I know how hard an ask this could be. Good luck to you!

This is amazing, love that movie and JAMcC is da best.

I love these stories but its a BS

Witty and interesting as ever, Mr. Campbell!!

I’m here from Creep Cast after finishing listening to the story, this felt less like an interview but more of a genuine conversation and I loved that very much, since nowadays you don’t get much of that

I hope one day he decides to finish the sequel. I really liked the ideas he had planned out.

Is it me or does Ted sound like Pedro Pascal

The reason this amazing story has not been adapted into a screenplay, is because Hollywood is obviously overloaded with other brilliant ideas. Let me elaborate... Hollywood turds, I mean people, would much rather pump out remakes of classics and call it "new" because it's an all female cast! Or, continue to remake other classic/popular movies with a new "twist"! Or, there's always a new comic book origin story or sequel to throw hundreds of millions of dollars at! CGI, right!!!??? Who doesn't want to see Ghostbusters with an all female cast?! I hope they start remaking other classic movies the same way! 🤔 Hmmm...Oh! Got it! They should redo "The Godfather" and keep it pretty much the same, but call it "The GodMOTHER" and maybe Jenny McCarthy can play the lead!!! Or...They should redo "Jaws" and have "Chief Brody" be the wife! Her husband will be a stay at home dad as she goes out with a hot female shark hunter to snuff out the nefarious great white shark of nightmares!!! See! Hollywood is waaaay too busy to try and put out something new. Borassca as a live action film or series? Pfft. Waste of time. (So difficult to get snide sarcasm across in text mode, but I took a stab at it.😉) *FYI: THIS IS MEANT TO BE FUNNY. I AM NOT TRYING TO MAKE ANY POLITICAL OR GENDER STATEMENTS.🤷*

Just by chance but I really enjoyed the stories...very creepy!!!

Wait, other RUclipsrs would make up their own endings? Is that why I have a very strong memory of a final confrontation with Elliot and Mr Bear in a barn that’s burning down with the police showing up at some point?

I first read this creepypasta when I was 21 entirely an adult and it was effective. Notably it wasn't a version with theistic satanism Mr Bear in the version I read he was just a misanthrope and sadist. That is how good 1999 is it is almost in a sense not a creepypasta pasta in the common conception the format relies on the audience having qualities most commonly present in children. Yknow like naivety, credulity, not familiar enough with tropes to break immersion, and still being highly susceptible to shock value techniques. It is one of the few probably 1 in 3 of creepypastas that are artistically significant as works of literature. Ted the caver partially has the status from being the pioneering work it deals with a much more conventional found media format which was still a bit avant-garde at the time it is really almost a necessary element to the creepypasta as a format to be found media. The Blair Witch Project allusion works great with the chronology and original 1999 name. As corny and poorly executed as it is, to a young child in 1999 nothing could be more terrifying than The Blair Witch Project. Candle Cove and 1999 using a more uniquely internet version of found media and the organic presentation and camouflaged in their fictitious status they really are the quality standard and stylistic originators of what we now consider common place by the name of unfiction. Technically the found footage fake documentary are unfiction and the original ARGs being unfiction too it could be argued. the quintessential cultural phenomenon that is under the specific term unfiction in the capacity to so thoroughly convince the audience of authenticity Candle Cove and 1999 are really the landmark works of art. They are going to be at some point in time in textbooks for students to practice literally analysis upon. 1999 is just so brilliant I can hardly believe that the author has such humility or really that they are outside the horror niche and made a work of horror so ground breaking and well horrific. Literary genius.

The story feels so plausible because it is based in his real experience as a caver from his real journal. He may not be a professional story writer but his embellishments were written with the same tone as the true parts of the journal so it all reads "true." An oldie and a goldie of a tale.

Curiously, 3 days ago I called the Boothworld Industries number after 5 PM, and was met by an answering machine "Thank you for calling Boothworld Industries. Your number has been recorded". NO call back...yet.

@32:18 Ted says the whereabouts of the caves location. i've been trying to triangulate it all day on the internet and this is the closest thing too the exact location i've seen so far

Why are they saying 100%true?

Borrasca is my favorite piece of fiction! From now on, when I look to write my own stories, I will shoot for the quality I experienced with her work.

You guys rule, thanks for this!!

Mr pen pal

Well done, thanks both of you guys! I’m reminded a little bit of the story with the guys that would leave the black match books (I forgot who did that one), and some of the stuff that Godless puts out-not all their stuff is super ‘heavy’. I know it was a while ago, but this made my night :) I’ll have ‘Crush ‘ in my head for a week now lol

The story would be a great movie

Would love to see Borrasca adapted into a screenplay. It would be a great limited series.

I love the creepypasta. It’s long, but it’s worth the wait.

Graves are not dug by hand these days and not haven't been for decades

I have never told anyone this but one day my cat got hit by an 18 wheeler and was killed. We buried him in a pet cemetery close to our property. The next day while I was in the bath tub he surprised me with a rat in his mouth and let the rat go into the tub. The next day I talked to my neighbor who had helped me bury my cat. He told me a story about the native Americans that stopped using the cemetery due to the dead coming back to life. I was told never to bury anything else there due to the ground being sour.

It’s odd that websleuths are confused as to why Kassotis went by a different name. They haven’t figured out yet that he was a nosleep writer. If they do, they’re going to go through ALL his old stories to dig them up for clues. Also, came here to say I love y’all’s stories!! And I love both the TC & stories podcast “Dr.” !! ❤❤✌️✌️

why the black bars on the eyes?? There is no info about this Amy Madden you are talking about. Possibly, you invented the whole thing.

sound is only on the left side.

sounds like the person who wrote this has a vivid imagination

Such an amazing experience to hear from the original creator of the story! Nick Botic I don't know if you will see this but I just wanted to know, if someone were to make a found footage adaptation on RUclips of this creepypasta that stays very true to the story, would they need the permission of the author (i.e. Ted Hegemann) and if so how would one get in contact with him? Or is putting a link to the story and including a description saying "this is not an original work" credit enough because I am scared of copyright laws XD and I just want to make a fun fan adaptation of a story I have grown up loving while giving as much credit to the original creator as possible!

Very coll interview, thanks for making it. Good to know more about the story.

borrasca would be a great HBO series a lá true detective. just imagine a high production value mini series that could show and explore all the worst parts unflinchingly. true detective and borrasca have a similar energy and story but somehow borrasca is way more depressing and nihilistic.

💀.n ..beautifully rendered..~PPeace.✨️🥀

So obviously fake! What TF, a badly written creepy pasta? Like if a case like this really happened I would’ve NEVER heard of it?! Yea right! 🙄😂🤡🤮 Only someone immensely ignorant and uneducated would buy this silly story as true.

i thought the video has no audio, or that id accidentally hit mute or something. volume on this is WAY too low. i had to hike my volume almost all the way up.

I need more information

The only way this, is even plauseable is if she had advanced sepsis, (blood poisoning) that caused an aneurysm. Then spontaneously just fell lifeless. Decomposition would be very rapid 2-3 hours lapse.

She picked the job and the way cops treat the general public. She had it coming.
