Not entirely related, but I thought it would follow up with it nicely: In the dark crevices of old Victorian homes, the walls may occasionally turn a deep, dark shade of blue, with vines portruding the floors and windows. In this strange lapse of events, one or more doors of the house will be replaced with portals to the shadow realm. If one is foolish enough to enter this hellish realm, they will be hunted by the elusive sub-demon, the Jeph. One must defeat him to properly escape the realm unharmed. If the Jeph so much as even taps the victim, however, the victim will die an immensly painful death, as they slowly and agonizingly twist and contort cretaceously thin, becoming the vines that regrow in those old Victorian homes. The Jeph is not just found in Old Victorian homes. You might want to stay out of the Laundromat.

they’re meant to catch attention. if you’re scrolling through a subreddit you’re more likely to be intrigued by something like that rather than “static noise” or whatever
People don't seem to realize that the whole point of the original creepypasta contest was to make a scary story that was _believable,_ and in most cases, the key to believability is restraint. It has to feel like something that _could_ happen, maybe, somewhere. One of the my favorites was this series of blog entries by a cave diver describing some creepy stuff in a cave that he saw. It ends with him declaring he's going back in one more time to investigate because he just _has_ to know more... and that's it! That's the last entry! It doesn't tell us what happened, but the dates on the entries are all pretty close together and the last one was a while ago, so it's pretty easy to infer that _something_ happened. That's where the best horror lives; in the *inference,* the space between what happened and what it means. Horror is an exercise in the basic human experience of trying to find meaning in a chaotic and meaningless world. The second you get into Hyper Realistic Blood territory, where Demon Sonic is telling me that he wants my soul, you've destroyed all space for inference and ruined the exercise.
One I always liked was the series about the Search And Rescue Officer thats a lot like that. One that stuck with me was a guy who said he saw a guy with no face, fell into a crevice in fear, and spent the night hearing walking from above where he'd fallen from, and muffled screaming. Thats all, no more details, no explanation, no revisiting, no gore. Just a dude without a face, and the inference that somehow he was also screaming. I still listen to them to fall asleep, but its hard to find ones that stop before the details get so insane theres literally nothing left to fill in with your own imagination. And I think thats _so_ important in horror, whatever you imagine is going to be scarier than what you're going to be shown (or have described) *Edit* is the story you're talking about Ted The Caver? I tried looking for what you we're talking about
Ted The Caver is definitely a classic. The whole last 3rd of the story, I was on the edge of my seat. It was so tense, my cat meowing made me jump and shriek with fright.
I think my favorite part of Sonic.exe was the fact that Kyle had to mail his friend the game hoping he'd destroy it when there was nothing stopping him from doing it himself
I can't believe I'm about to say this but...I think he was trapped by that point and "Sonic" sent the cartridge with the note, it makes...slightly more sense that way
@@ijneb1248 there's literally a prequel that explains the inner workings of sonic hell (I did not read it all the way through and my memory of it is oretty muddled, but I THINK it's explained if and how the ppl trapped there can communicate w the outside world)
Lol same, I think a lot of the creepy pastas made me irrationally shield my eyes or scroll away from it, especially the “forgotten” and “lost” episodes of cartoons
The image is pretty startling and uncanny the first few times. I think it’s a combination of the eyes, the complete lack of a nose, and the shine on the teeth and gums
I kinda hope that's what happened to the dark knight Joker. Like he was walking into the bathroom with some scissors to cut his hair and he tripped and accidentally sliced his face to pieces, but it's too humiliating for him to admit so he keeps lying about how it happened.
the candle cove creator’s actually moved on to some really good projects, he’s doing this art project channel called Local 54 and it’s one of the only things that can legitimately freak me out. nexpo’s video about it is really good.
@@bazookaboy4425 This is coming from a former Walmart employee, and I would say I had one of the better experiences working there, relatively speaking. Yeah, you don't have to give a reason why you wouldn't want to go back there, work there, and especially go there in the middle of the god-damned night. I enjoyed the story you're talking about mind you, but still. Reading the title makes me think, regarding the author of story, "So, in your mind, you believe you need to provide an actual reason for that?" Needless to say, I hated working there with a passion. It does make me appreciate the fact that I am going to college.
Quinton please tell me, is Blue Garfield real?? I’m scared and I can’t sleep anymore :’( No but really, great video, man! It was really funny and nostalgic!
Sonic.EXE is a classic, but the _sequel_ just might be the most amazing thing ever written. It's a detective story in which two cops investigate the "Sonic.EXE Murders," and it culminates with the reveal that Sonic.EXE is actually distributed by the "Cult of X," who worship the ruler of Hell (or, as the author so eloquently states, "not literally Hell, but pretty freaking close!") literally called X. X can only kill people by taking the form of a sonic plushy, which he can only take by forcing them to play a shitty Sonic hack, which is _actually_ a vessel for seven edgy demons with names like "Sorrow Zekido," who manipulates your anger and makes you violent so you'll play the game longer(?). The story is a glorious shitshow of a supernatural mystery and is easily my favorite bad creepypasta ever written.
I love the fact Squidwards suicide was actually referenced in modern Spongebob There's a scene that the spooky eyes from that dumb picture shows up as an obvious allusion It's so unexpected and hilarious, and I'm glad they did it
When I was in highschool, I was that kid who swore up and down that the Creepypasta characters were real, Slenderman wanted me to be a proxy, Jeff would follow me around, etc. etc. What wasn't revealed until later was that I had been (and still am but to a less intense degree) was that I was suffering with delusions and paranoia. I actually went as far as to view the girls who stabbed their friend 19 times for Slenderman to notice them were heroes and I wanted to be like them. Thankfully, my mental state was noticed by how bad it was getting and professionals got involved before I could really do anything.
@@orbsorbs8465 That's um. A pretty fucked up thing to say in response to a serious point brought up from a painful point in my past. Please be more considerate in the future.
Wow lol crazy I was tucking my child into bed haha and then like he says to me, "Daddy, theres a monster under my bed." And so I check lol of course and lo and behold, I see my darn kid under there. Haha, almost forgot I had twins whoops.
My favorite Creepypastas are the ones EVERYONE is like "omg it's the scariest thing ever" and then I read it and it's not scary but it IS extremely poorly written.
If Jeff “lost all rational thinking”, and “all he could do is kill”, wouldn’t he just, like, immediately shit his pants? I dunno, that’s what I got out of that story
I was on a call with friends while scrolling through this comment section and midway through my sentence I burst out in laughter upon reading this one. It's funny and true.
Yeenoghu were there a lot of reboots/sequels? because that would explain a lot lmao i know for a fact that i read some variant of candle cove when i was like 11 but it sounds nothing like what quinton was describing
Honestly, candle cove was the only creepypasta I ever really liked. Just cause it was actually a bit subtle with the supernatural shit, and before that it plays on that late night tv fever dream feeling
walrusArmageddon for me it’s probably because I was young and gullible enough to believe it and I discovered it pretty organically so it really freaked me out lol
Yeenoghu I remember a few of the “sequels” being decent but the subtlety was mostly gone, they’re pretty good if you’re a fan of the original and want to ruin everything good about it
By that point it's not "creepypasta" anymore. It's just people pushing random short stories that they want to be read on a popular forum. There needs to be a more legitimate outlet for this material.
I love how the first origin story of Jeff the Killer is basically, "This dingus stumbled over the soap while cleaning his bathtub, fell into acid and now his face looks screwed up." You won't see any edgy fangirls swoon over that kind of background story.
When I was in middle school and didn't have anything to do, I would waste time going on quiz websites like playbuzz where the quizzes are all made by users, and I knew full well how terrible the tests where but I took them anyway because they were short and I was kinda curious as to what the result would be. One time, I ran across a test called "who's your creepypasta boyfriend?" or something like that. I figured "eh, why the hell not?" so I took it and the result of the test was that my "creepypasta boyfriend" would be Ben Drowned. And the picture they chose for Ben Drowned was this fanart of Link where he was ridiculously muscular and had his shirt off, but he had red eyes so it would be spooky and whatever. My exact thought when I first looked at this picture was "damn, he's kinda hot". And that is legit how I discovered I was Bisexual. Edit: out of all the youtube comments I've ever made, this is easily my favorite one. I want this shit written on my gravestone.
I remember stumbling upon creepypasta in 2011, and they really caught my attention to the point that I binged on them over summer, and I became scared of my own shadow for weeks. Maybe I was just naive, maybe the bottom has just completely dropped out of the quality of them recently, or maybe my binging ruined the novelty pretty quick, but I really used to love reading/ listening to them.
It’s entirely possible that you, like most folks, had a time of life in which your imagination generously did all the work that stories didn’t, and over time, you developed a memory of all storytelling conventions you’ve been exposed to. Through that memory, you developed an intuitive feeling for how & why better stories do a better job of not reminding you of all the increasingly annoying work the stories are asking you to do on their behalf. Suppose that storytelling is a game between audience & tellers. In such games, better stories are the ones where the audience feels like an enjoyable game where all the rules are fairly engaged with, whereas the rest feel like the teller was cheating, not really playing so much as accumulating points. Or even straight up lying to your face about what moves they made & what the score reads. Bad stories are bad at playing, but when you don’t have a robust memory of both good & bad play, you don’t know where to draw the line between the two yet. These stories didn’t suddenly suck out of nowhere, you just learned how to sort them out as noise. Noise that asks too much and gives too little.
That makes sense, I was never really exposed to that type of storytelling at all before then. (Although, I'm embarrassed to admit my age at the time, as I wasn't that young). And I also used to prefer the short ones. The ones that had some sort of urban legend based on a photo or something were the most effective for me. Later down the line, there was this kind of subgenre of legitimate horror fiction that came out of it that I also really like, but it never quite haunted me like some of the short stories did.
Jeff: "shit this tub is really dirty! I gotta clean it. Well I guess I finally found a use for this gallon of industrial strength acid I have just lying around!" Hasn't the dude who wrote this story ever heard of scrubbing bubbles?
I remember reading The Russian Sleep Experiment when I was 16 or 17 at like 1AM and finding it genuinely unsettling just from the grossness factor of the content. I reread it a few years ago and HOO BOY it's so poorly written oh my god. Still pretty gross, but the ending is absurd, but definitely not as unsettling as I remember it being ^^;;; I blame the time of night and the general anxiety of high school haha
Yeah, I read it a while back because people kept recommending it but it's just.... not very scary. For the record, I'm not a brave person and I don't like watching horror movies, but the russian sleep experiment didn't do anything to me. It was just so over the top gory that it became comical. There was just zero sense of subtlety and I couldn't stop picturing the author sitting behind their computer, thinking "hmmm what's some spoooooky stuff I could add to make my story scarier?.... oh, more gore! That always works!"
Is the Russian Sleep Experiment the one where the author genuinely thought it'd be scary if all the gore and violence was set to Tiny Tim music? I remember just being torn out of the plot by that
Outside inside out Livin the Russian sleep experiment You’ll push and pull your guts Livin in mother Russia Your lips are cracked and red And your skin’s been sloughing off yeah You will become god Livin awake for months now I don’t know why I did it
it depends. modern creepypastas, once you depart from all the jeff and slendy BS, are actually pretty good. listen to king spook and dark somnium with all of their rather horrific existential dread stories. ones i can think of are the strangers, the left-right game, No-End house (the original was best), brooding star, Heavenly star, 982 layers up, hell survival guide, tales from the dogscape, there was an intreauging one recently about noah's ark from dark somnium
I think I've heard a reading of that one (or maybe I read it myself?), it's not that bad actually. Idk, it's written like a first-person short horror story about not being able to get out of a room. I don't remember there being anything memorably bad about it.
"Demonic Sonic" actually would be a rad fucking name for a semi-ironic ska-punk band. That is if people are still even doing that? Fuck Im not even 30 and I feel old
We love him regardless, but it would be best for him to lose weight. Not because he looks bad (he looks just fine) but because it always has a consequence in the body. I'm barely overweight (like, 3 kg above what I should weight), but I have a myriad of health issues because it fucked over my hormonal balance.
Yep but you know what that's perfectly fine nothing is original Joker himself was inspired by The Man Who Laugh's 1928 film. Jeff has his own style and that's what matter's even though the original story didn't age well you should check out the reboot by K Banning Stellum he made it more interesting like a detective noir story.
I feel a little bad about how Sesseur, the guy who made Jeff the Killer, got his channel terminated around a time when there was supposed to be a big project of his about to be uploaded. Dude was really unique and funny, even if most just remember him for one creepypasta. Wherever he is, I hope is doing fine. P.S: If you're wondering, if he intentionally made Jeff's backstory funny...I believe so...I hope so...I'm 90% sure so. P.P.S: Sesseur, if you somehow read this, just know that the Smurfs 2 joke is still the best joke ever.
The readings of the nosleep titles made me laugh so hard I nearly choked on the gross phlegm from my horrid upper respiratory infection I've been recovering from all week, which is the scariest thing to have ever resulted from that subreddit, probably. Legit almost killed a man today.
Yeah, I've also noticed that the titles of creepy stories on the internet keep getting longer and longer. Maybe they got infected by the same virus that got to the people who make light novels.
In fairness to nosleep, there's still a decent number of good to great stories on there, including one you mentioned. The Lily Madwhip series is supposed to be somewhat comedic, given the protagonist is a little girl who gets easily distracted. I definitely do agree with you that most creepypasta isn't great. Hell, I don't even particularly like the phrase when it comes to good stories, 'cause it kind of diminishes the quality by referring to it as a "creepypasta", which is just inherently an unscary term.
It's like fan fiction. There's a shit load of bad stuff that's just people learning how to write and failing. Then there's that one that's just way too well written for it's own good. Same shit, different name.
@@fuxxin_eagles Wouldn't call almost bleeding to death from around 60 stab wound "badass". Luckily a man strayed from the main path and happen to find her.
@@TheRSH1499 I think surviving such a brutal attack and being able to bounce back like nothing happened is badass imo. At the very least, no one at school will fuck with the kid that survived 60 stabs to the chest.
My favorite Creepypasta is the “NES Godzilla Creepypasta”, a sort of stock haunted-game pasta that is helped immensely by its vivid and effective visuals. Edit: I had a similar experience to Quinton in elementary. This kid would bring weapons to school to threaten me with.
Matt Trulock What’s crazy to me is that RED got canonized in a Godzilla fighter game. I’ll have to reread to know what you mean by the ending but I think I remember it
Reading a lot of these creepypastas make me think that the authors grew up reading Goosebumps. Specifically the one line from Sonic.exe. "Boy, was I wrong about that..."
People wonder why the internet is the way it is today. Just take a look at all of the stupid bullshit that was popular ten years ago. Then, realize that an entire generation was brought up on that crap.
tbh as a dumb kid who liked this nonsense, i always kind of assumed the edgy kid stuff was added later and everyone just rolled with it. it's delightful to know that no, the dude was CREATED as an edgy self insert scary guy
I actually wrote a creepypasta back in the day that inspired some random youtubers to do a reading of it. I felt pretty honored esp bc I was super into CPs back then
You're the only content creator I know so upfront and down-to-earth that your ad-reads aren't just tolerable, they come off as genuinely endearing. Now I wish my eyesight sucked.
My favorite part of the Jeff the Killer story is that as soon as Liu confesses, the cops immediately decide his sentence and take him away without a trial or anything, then Jeff's parents decide to go to a birthday party the next day and tell Jeff to try to forget about what happened
I believe it was the guys at the official podcast who mentioned that a lot of early scp articles and creepypastas were just something normal, but with blood
Lmao i scroll through nosleep sometimes. most people these days are loving these.. "Im trapped in a compromising situation and have access to ther internet buT SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE [PART 8]"
nosleep used to be pretty good, but sadly it’s been plagued by series stretching out to 20 parts. The scary short stories subreddit is still pretty decent though. Bit excessive with twist stories but a nice thing to read through.
Honestly, creepypastas were one of the first times I can rememer being actually scared by some kind of media. Films were never scary to me because I always understood that it was made for entertainment but when I was like 14 I found a top list video with a lot of creepypastas (the video was by TatsTopVideos if you're curious) and my English wasn't good enough yet to understand everything completely so all I would get was little snippets and key words. I had no idea what creepypastas were but the presentation was so different from anything I had seen before and because I only understood maybe a fourth of what they said my mind had to fill in the blanks. I remember many nights where I'd torment myself by thinking about what creepypasta actually meant, what all these images were about and what was real and what was not. Because I'm me that actually got me hooked on the concept of creepypasta as a whole and I subscribed to a lot of channels that focused on that kind of stuff at the time and I think that's actually one of the reasons my English improved over the years. Even though I think most of the stories are ridiculous now there's still a part of my brain that remembers how scary some of the media associated with them actually was to my younger self (and to this day I still think that Jeff the Killer image is pretty unsettling to look at).
I still stand by my belief that the first half of the Herobrine Creepypasta was unironically brilliant. Hate that they screwed it up with the whole Notches dead brother thing
I want to write a creepypasta in the style of Sonic.exe but describe a completely normal playthrough of Sonic 2. "I opened the game, but there was something strange right from the start... Sonic wasn't alone. There was another creature with him. A small orange fox. His black, beady eyes stared back at me, like he knew I suspected something was wrong. His incessant smile bore into my mind. The more I looked at him, the worse it got. He was horribly mutated, a second trail grafted onto his back above his first, each swinging independently of another..."
wow i truly don’t remember jeff the killer being so goofy when i was in elementary school. come to think of it, i think the picture scared me more than the story. the story is dumb. very dumb.
I was born in '98 and have anxiety, so I was the target of the scariness of creepypastas. 2007-2012 is when I saw them and found them scary. I was 9-14 and didn't have consistent access to the internet. I didn't know the lingo and didn't know enough to tell what was real or not. I do say, tho, that learning creepypastas were fake and the slenderman killers incident led me to look into real life horrific events such as true crime and disasters. Which help my anxiety, cause I feel like I can actually prepare for the worst now. So... thanks jeff the killer?
I remember reading squidward's suicide between 5th and 6th grade, scarred me so much that I would get headaches looking at the picture of squidward with the bloody eyes. Pleased to say, though, that by the end of middle school, my friend and I found creepypastas hilarious and even wrote a whole bunch of ironically bad ones in the same vein as sonic.exe
I love how every technology based creepypasta has have something described as hyper realistic. What does mean anyway? Something so realistic that looks more than real or unreal even.
@@TheLastApostle I thought hyper realistic meant like it feels as it wasn't recorded or programmed but actually there, like I was fairly certian hyper realistic blood for example ment it looks like if you touched the screen you'd feel blood. ( I was into creepy pastas from 2010-2015 btw, so maybe the meaning just changed over time)
So right after the mother’s son gets arrested for stabbing people and is facing serious criminal charges she’s just like “ok Jeff it’s time to go to the neighbours birthday party” and they just go to their neighbours house like nothing happened.
The best story isn't even on Creepypasta, it's on the Crappypasta website and the story is that Jeff the Killer tries to kill Chuck Norris I found it, it's called "Jeff the Killer Goes to Sleep"
This was the last video Quinton Reviews made before he died. After this video, he was found dead from hyper-realistic bee stings with a DVD in his player -- the DVD had its title written in sharpie : "The Should-Not-Bee Movie".

And yet this guy only suspected it could be hacked because Robotnik was playable....
Great job rooting out this Fake Gamer, Comrade Robobuddies
THANK YOU!!!
Even as someone who’s never played Sonic, I knew that Tails showed up in Sonic 2.
I can kinda see both Knuckles and Dr. Robotnik, mainly because Knuckles would have been playable in Sonic 1 via lock-on cartridge but didn't happen due to palette issues with Knuckles, and Dr. Robotnik is the only other major character in Sonic 1.
Tails makes no sense in Sonic 1 mainly because Tails has canonically never visited Green Hill Zone as implied in Sonic Generations, which may or may not be contradicted by Sonic: The Dark Brotherhood.
Yeah like that's definitely one of the main reasons I think that it's being funny on purpose
And Sonic 1 wasn't even released on a disc, the game is supposed to be on a cartridge
But Quinton, you didn't mention the scariest story of all: Man Door Hand Hook Car Door
That story is where creepypasta really peaked
Edit: Honorary mention goes to "Then who was phone?" as well
Sounds like something out of r/engrish
Zalli did anyone ever find out who phone was? I loved the story for its intense mystery and am hoping that the author made a sequel
Dude dont remine me i got ptsd

People don't seem to realize that the whole point of the original creepypasta contest was to make a scary story that was _believable,_ and in most cases, the key to believability is restraint. It has to feel like something that _could_ happen, maybe, somewhere. One of the my favorites was this series of blog entries by a cave diver describing some creepy stuff in a cave that he saw. It ends with him declaring he's going back in one more time to investigate because he just _has_ to know more... and that's it! That's the last entry! It doesn't tell us what happened, but the dates on the entries are all pretty close together and the last one was a while ago, so it's pretty easy to infer that _something_ happened. That's where the best horror lives; in the *inference,* the space between what happened and what it means.

I still listen to them to fall asleep, but its hard to find ones that stop before the details get so insane theres literally nothing left to fill in with your own imagination. And I think thats _so_ important in horror, whatever you imagine is going to be scarier than what you're going to be shown (or have described)
*Edit* is the story you're talking about Ted The Caver? I tried looking for what you we're talking about
Ah yeah, Ted the Caver! It's surprisingly good for being 80% descriptions of cave delving methods. Would def recommend for the claustrophobic.

@@ijneb1248 there's literally a prequel that explains the inner workings of sonic hell (I did not read it all the way through and my memory of it is oretty muddled, but I THINK it's explained if and how the ppl trapped there can communicate w the outside world)
I remember when I’d see Jeff the killer and try to shield him from my eyes. I actually found him scary lol
Now it's just the fangirls that frighten us
I did this but with my dad when I walked in on him in the shower.
Lol same, I think a lot of the creepy pastas made me irrationally shield my eyes or scroll away from it, especially the “forgotten” and “lost” episodes of cartoons
Genskiel be careful cleaning the shower with acid after he is done. Make sure not to trip
The image is pretty startling and uncanny the first few times. I think it’s a combination of the eyes, the complete lack of a nose, and the shine on the teeth and gums
I kinda hope that's what happened to the dark knight Joker. Like he was walking into the bathroom with some scissors to cut his hair and he tripped and accidentally sliced his face to pieces, but it's too humiliating for him to admit so he keeps lying about how it happened.
Sam Watson-Tayler How bad must he have tripped to slash open both sides of his cheek and cut off his own nose?
he became Edward Scissorhands
AnkoTime the Joker has a nose doesn’t he??
And he can’t keep his story straight at all

the candle cove creator’s actually moved on to some really good projects, he’s doing this art project channel called Local 54 and it’s one of the only things that can legitimately freak me out. nexpo’s video about it is really good.

“Jeff was hauling gallons of acid to clean his bathtub”
does he have a body in there
Well he did say clean his bathtub, he didn't specify what he was cleaning from said bathtub.

@@bazookaboy4425 This is coming from a former Walmart employee, and I would say I had one of the better experiences working there, relatively speaking. Yeah, you don't have to give a reason why you wouldn't want to go back there, work there, and especially go there in the middle of the god-damned night. I enjoyed the story you're talking about mind you, but still. Reading the title makes me think, regarding the author of story, "So, in your mind, you believe you need to provide an actual reason for that?" Needless to say, I hated working there with a passion. It does make me appreciate the fact that I am going to college.

Sonic.EXE is a classic, but the _sequel_
just might be the most amazing thing ever written. It's a detective story in which two cops investigate the "Sonic.EXE Murders," and it culminates with the reveal that Sonic.EXE is actually distributed by the "Cult of X," who worship the ruler of Hell (or, as the author so eloquently states, "not literally Hell, but pretty freaking close!") literally called X. X can only kill people by taking the form of a sonic plushy, which he can only take by forcing them to play a shitty Sonic hack, which is _actually_ a vessel for seven edgy demons with names like "Sorrow Zekido," who manipulates your anger and makes you violent so you'll play the game longer(?). The story is a glorious shitshow of a supernatural mystery and is easily my favorite bad creepypasta ever written.
MutuallySustainedHateBoner Inc I FORGOT ABOUT BLOODWHISTLE
also i know the author did an official updated version of sonic exe 2 with apparently an updated plotline and stuff which is,, interesting

The sequel was the most blatant case of "I've found a new favourite anime recently" ever.
I swear to god, that story makes the first sonic.exe seem like a masterpiece.
I love the fact Squidwards suicide was actually referenced in modern Spongebob
There's a scene that the spooky eyes from that dumb picture shows up as an obvious allusion
It's so unexpected and hilarious, and I'm glad they did it
Modern Spongebob has been firing on all cylinders for a bit now. I'm glad too because that middle period was rough

When I was in highschool, I was that kid who swore up and down that the Creepypasta characters were real, Slenderman wanted me to be a proxy, Jeff would follow me around, etc. etc.
What wasn't revealed until later was that I had been (and still am but to a less intense degree) was that I was suffering with delusions and paranoia. I actually went as far as to view the girls who stabbed their friend 19 times for Slenderman to notice them were heroes and I wanted to be like them. Thankfully, my mental state was noticed by how bad it was getting and professionals got involved before I could really do anything.

Lucky enough for us, the movie was better than this fanfiction edgy kid crap.
Candle cove was a great creepypasta though. Just enough plausibility and realism, it managed to be legitimately creepy without being over the top
Then it got ruined when people tried to write sequels to it IIRC.
Yeenoghu were there a lot of reboots/sequels? because that would explain a lot lmao i know for a fact that i read some variant of candle cove when i was like 11 but it sounds nothing like what quinton was describing
Honestly, candle cove was the only creepypasta I ever really liked. Just cause it was actually a bit subtle with the supernatural shit, and before that it plays on that late night tv fever dream feeling
walrusArmageddon for me it’s probably because I was young and gullible enough to believe it and I discovered it pretty organically so it really freaked me out lol
Yeenoghu
I remember a few of the “sequels” being decent but the subtlety was mostly gone, they’re pretty good if you’re a fan of the original and want to ruin everything good about it
Did I just hear a "my name is Jeff" clip during the first Creepypasta reading?
Quinton, you are a genius.

By that point it's not "creepypasta" anymore. It's just people pushing random short stories that they want to be read on a popular forum. There needs to be a more legitimate outlet for this material.

Why do people like you always underestimate simps?
When I was in middle school and didn't have anything to do, I would waste time going on quiz websites like playbuzz where the quizzes are all made by users, and I knew full well how terrible the tests where but I took them anyway because they were short and I was kinda curious as to what the result would be. One time, I ran across a test called "who's your creepypasta boyfriend?" or something like that. I figured "eh, why the hell not?" so I took it and the result of the test was that my "creepypasta boyfriend" would be Ben Drowned. And the picture they chose for Ben Drowned was this fanart of Link where he was ridiculously muscular and had his shirt off, but he had red eyes so it would be spooky and whatever. My exact thought when I first looked at this picture was "damn, he's kinda hot".
And that is legit how I discovered I was Bisexual.

I remember stumbling upon creepypasta in 2011, and they really caught my attention to the point that I binged on them over summer, and I became scared of my own shadow for weeks. Maybe I was just naive, maybe the bottom has just completely dropped out of the quality of them recently, or maybe my binging ruined the novelty pretty quick, but I really used to love reading/ listening to them.
That's pretty much it. I did the same thing in 2009/2010. I think the shorter ones were the scariest. I also enjoyed the earlier Slenderman stuff.
It’s entirely possible that you, like most folks, had a time of life in which your imagination generously did all the work that stories didn’t, and over time, you developed a memory of all storytelling conventions you’ve been exposed to.
Through that memory, you developed an intuitive feeling for how & why better stories do a better job of not reminding you of all the increasingly annoying work the stories are asking you to do on their behalf.
Suppose that storytelling is a game between audience & tellers. In such games, better stories are the ones where the audience feels like an enjoyable game where all the rules are fairly engaged with, whereas the rest feel like the teller was cheating, not really playing so much as accumulating points. Or even straight up lying to your face about what moves they made & what the score reads.
Bad stories are bad at playing, but when you don’t have a robust memory of both good & bad play, you don’t know where to draw the line between the two yet.
These stories didn’t suddenly suck out of nowhere, you just learned how to sort them out as noise. Noise that asks too much and gives too little.
That makes sense, I was never really exposed to that type of storytelling at all before then. (Although, I'm embarrassed to admit my age at the time, as I wasn't that young). And I also used to prefer the short ones. The ones that had some sort of urban legend based on a photo or something were the most effective for me.
Later down the line, there was this kind of subgenre of legitimate horror fiction that came out of it that I also really like, but it never quite haunted me like some of the short stories did.
Same. I was obsessed with them around the same time. Then as the years went on they just didn't have the same appeal anymore
I had a CRT in my room when I read Ben Drowned and I had to take it out because I was afraid he was gonna appear on the screen at night lol
Jeff: "shit this tub is really dirty! I gotta clean it. Well I guess I finally found a use for this gallon of industrial strength acid I have just lying around!" Hasn't the dude who wrote this story ever heard of scrubbing bubbles?
I remember reading The Russian Sleep Experiment when I was 16 or 17 at like 1AM and finding it genuinely unsettling just from the grossness factor of the content. I reread it a few years ago and HOO BOY it's so poorly written oh my god. Still pretty gross, but the ending is absurd, but definitely not as unsettling as I remember it being ^^;;; I blame the time of night and the general anxiety of high school haha
Yeah, I read it a while back because people kept recommending it but it's just.... not very scary. For the record, I'm not a brave person and I don't like watching horror movies, but the russian sleep experiment didn't do anything to me. It was just so over the top gory that it became comical. There was just zero sense of subtlety and I couldn't stop picturing the author sitting behind their computer, thinking "hmmm what's some spoooooky stuff I could add to make my story scarier?.... oh, more gore! That always works!"
Is the Russian Sleep Experiment the one where the author genuinely thought it'd be scary if all the gore and violence was set to Tiny Tim music? I remember just being torn out of the plot by that

Jeff is like a really lame reboot of the Joker. He's even got both the chemically bleached face and the scars.
Joker is famously known as a huge proponent of intense bathroom sanitation
So basically the new Joker
Actually its a flame burn
He's a mixture of the heath ledger joker and the comic joker
Yep but you know what that's perfectly fine nothing is original Joker himself was inspired by The Man Who Laugh's 1928 film. Jeff has his own style and that's what matter's even though the original story didn't age well you should check out the reboot by K Banning Stellum he made it more interesting like a detective noir story.
I feel a little bad about how Sesseur, the guy who made Jeff the Killer, got his channel terminated around a time when there was supposed to be a big project of his about to be uploaded.
Dude was really unique and funny, even if most just remember him for one creepypasta. Wherever he is, I hope is doing fine.
P.S: If you're wondering, if he intentionally made Jeff's backstory funny...I believe so...I hope so...I'm 90% sure so.
P.P.S: Sesseur, if you somehow read this, just know that the Smurfs 2 joke is still the best joke ever.
I saw him comment on a video recently about Jeff the killer (might have been internet historian's vid), so he is still around.
He didn’t write the story or make the photoshop, he just was the first to name the preexisting image Jeff
YBH No he wrote the original slipping in the bathroom with acid story
Why did he get terminated?
That’s a shame 😕

I definitely do agree with you that most creepypasta isn't great. Hell, I don't even particularly like the phrase when it comes to good stories, 'cause it kind of diminishes the quality by referring to it as a "creepypasta", which is just inherently an unscary term.

Lmao i scroll through nosleep sometimes. most people these days are loving these.. "Im trapped in a compromising situation and have access to ther internet buT SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE [PART 8]"
nosleep used to be pretty good, but sadly it’s been plagued by series stretching out to 20 parts.
The scary short stories subreddit is still pretty decent though. Bit excessive with twist stories but a nice thing to read through.
Some of the long stories are absolute gold though like The spire in the woods and the forest ranger stuff
Honestly, creepypastas were one of the first times I can rememer being actually scared by some kind of media.
Films were never scary to me because I always understood that it was made for entertainment but when I was like 14 I found a top list video with a lot of creepypastas (the video was by TatsTopVideos if you're curious) and my English wasn't good enough yet to understand everything completely so all I would get was little snippets and key words. I had no idea what creepypastas were but the presentation was so different from anything I had seen before and because I only understood maybe a fourth of what they said my mind had to fill in the blanks.
I remember many nights where I'd torment myself by thinking about what creepypasta actually meant, what all these images were about and what was real and what was not.
Because I'm me that actually got me hooked on the concept of creepypasta as a whole and I subscribed to a lot of channels that focused on that kind of stuff at the time and I think that's actually one of the reasons my English improved over the years.
Even though I think most of the stories are ridiculous now there's still a part of my brain that remembers how scary some of the media associated with them actually was to my younger self (and to this day I still think that Jeff the Killer image is pretty unsettling to look at).
I still stand by my belief that the first half of the Herobrine Creepypasta was unironically brilliant. Hate that they screwed it up with the whole Notches dead brother thing
Agreed.
I want to write a creepypasta in the style of Sonic.exe but describe a completely normal playthrough of Sonic 2.
"I opened the game, but there was something strange right from the start... Sonic wasn't alone. There was another creature with him. A small orange fox. His black, beady eyes stared back at me, like he knew I suspected something was wrong. His incessant smile bore into my mind. The more I looked at him, the worse it got. He was horribly mutated, a second trail grafted onto his back above his first, each swinging independently of another..."
wow i truly don’t remember jeff the killer being so goofy when i was in elementary school. come to think of it, i think the picture scared me more than the story. the story is dumb. very dumb.
Im ngl, i think that image is pretty creepy. It reminds me of the pircture they take of charlie for his dating profile in its always sunny lol
I lost it at "I love what you've done with your hair." Lol.
Damn, after all these years I thought Quinton was finally gonna tell me who was phone
Deep down, we were all phone.
Well, it's Biden now lol
I was born in '98 and have anxiety, so I was the target of the scariness of creepypastas. 2007-2012 is when I saw them and found them scary. I was 9-14 and didn't have consistent access to the internet. I didn't know the lingo and didn't know enough to tell what was real or not. I do say, tho, that learning creepypastas were fake and the slenderman killers incident led me to look into real life horrific events such as true crime and disasters. Which help my anxiety, cause I feel like I can actually prepare for the worst now. So... thanks jeff the killer?
8:17 So if I come out as gay, I can't summon Jeff the Killer anymore? Dammit!
I love how he uses the Sonic movie trailer for the ”creepy“ description of soni.exe xD
It fits perfectly though doesnt it lol
It was an amazing combination. XD
Yeah that was perfect, I was crackling up
I remember reading squidward's suicide between 5th and 6th grade, scarred me so much that I would get headaches looking at the picture of squidward with the bloody eyes. Pleased to say, though, that by the end of middle school, my friend and I found creepypastas hilarious and even wrote a whole bunch of ironically bad ones in the same vein as sonic.exe
I love how every technology based creepypasta has have something described as hyper realistic. What does mean anyway? Something so realistic that looks more than real or unreal even.
It basically means so real that it seems like a set piece. Like something on a tv show rather than gritty reality
@The Duderino exactly what i was trying to describe. Its kinda hard to put into words without looking up the exact definition
@@TheLastApostle I thought hyper realistic meant like it feels as it wasn't recorded or programmed but actually there, like I was fairly certian hyper realistic blood for example ment it looks like if you touched the screen you'd feel blood. ( I was into creepy pastas from 2010-2015 btw, so maybe the meaning just changed over time)
"...The greatest piece of literature ever conceived."
Me: Dionaea House... Come on, Dionaea House...
"Sonic.EXE!"
Me: Aww...
So right after the mother’s son gets arrested for stabbing people and is facing serious criminal charges she’s just like “ok Jeff it’s time to go to the neighbours birthday party” and they just go to their neighbours house like nothing happened.

Not enough hyperrealistic eyes.
Nicodemus Edwards hyperrealistic is the best adjective
Don't forget the hyperrealistic blood!
@@ToaArcan and the grotesque spongebob close-ups
Don't forget 666, 3 AM, and Gamemaster references.
Good god the original Jeff the Killer is perfect why was it ever changed
"stand there and compliment him"
you have beautiful eyes! 🐸
"I read some of your poetry, it's pretty good!"
The echoing „My name is Jeff“ in the ritual description nearly killed me.😂
To be fair, creepypasta is the equivalent of a campfire story. Last time I checked, campfire stories weren't out to gain literature awards.
The best story isn't even on Creepypasta, it's on the Crappypasta website and the story is that Jeff the Killer tries to kill Chuck Norris
I found it, it's called "Jeff the Killer Goes to Sleep"
There's a man who follows me around and narrates my life, and he's starting to say some UNSETTLING THINGS. Sounds like Quinton in a nushell.
“Try to keep this interesting for me, Tom.”
No, I don't think I will.
(I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.)
cant believe the absolute artistry of "Man Door Hand Hook Car Door" wasnt even mentioned in here /j
"CREEPY PASTA AREN'T CREEPY."
....nor are they a pasta of any kind.
Creepypastas are going to make a big comeback with the story: Radioactive Ravioli.
