The Creepypasta Thread

[1upmushroom]

I thought it be neat to talk and discuss an internet trend called Creepypasta. Basically, it's the internet equivalint of a scary story told in campfires however instead of telling it around campfires you're telling around forums. Creepypasta istelf was originally called Copypasta, which was a pun on "Copy and Paste", the way these stories were usually spread. Normally, no, almost always these stories are complete bullshat, but usually they're still good even though they're fake and they still get a scare out of you ,at least some of them do get one out of me. Here's a couple of creepypastas I've read.

Squidward's Suicide: A classic tale about an animation intern and his expierences with a, erm, special episode of Spongebob Squarepants. What makes this story so great is the complete detail the author gives us during this story. Almost everything happening is described in complete detail that it makes the tale very disturbing and is one of the reasons people think it's true.

Candle Cove: This story is another classic that actually is even scarier than Squidward's Suicide because it doesn't alwaysave great grammar, it uses a forum discussion as a framing device, and...well let me explain. First of all, the story begins with a discussion of a seemingly innocent children's puppet show from the 70's called Candle Cove. However, as many people began to recount having memories everyone begins to see that Candle Cove may not have been as innocent as it seemed. This all happens til we come to the epic conclusion which is pretty terrifying if you think about it.

Candle Cove is amazing, but I think by far the most terrifying Creepypasta is the Slender Man mythos.

If you're not familiar with it, check out Marble Hornets, an ongoing web series based on Slender Man!

[1upmushroom]

Yes, I've heard all about slendy. How bout 1999? That's also a good story. It's basically the same concept as Candle Cove but longer and with a different framing device.

[Serum]

I don't know that one, but I thought "Dead Bart" was terrifying.

[1upmushroom]

At first it is until many more viewings later it kind of lost it's shock value for me. Also, how about that suicidemouse.amv? So good, someone actually made a video about it. Though I haven't watched the video itself.

[Serum]

I still think it all begins and ends with "Marble Hornets," which is everything "The Blair Witch Project" should have been. We have a lone protagonist who is pursued by a strange entity (the Operator, better known as 'The Slender Man') and numerous antagonists who are all out to either kill him or simply mess with his head (ToTheArk springs to mind). I highly recommend this series, and you can find them on YouTube, and buy their DVDs online! I'll be ordering my copies of seasons 1 and 2 with a t-shirt with the "Operator" symbol on it soon, I can't wait to get it. But, if you ask me, I really think the character of the Operator/Slender Man is based heavily on Angus Skrimm's portrayal of 'The Tall Man' in the "Phantasm" movies. They seem to share similar powers, such as omnipresence and the apparent ability to warp time and space at will. But whereas the Operator appears to have a supernatural origin, the Tall Man has more... extraterrestrial origin.

[1upmushroom]

There's also the Russian Sleep Expirement. That's a good one.

[Serum]

There's also the Russian Sleep Expirement. That's a good one.

I found that one unbearably boring. I also loathe the "Holders" series, as they're repetitive and don't really go anywhere. It's always "Walk into any hospital or halfway house in North America and ask to see the 'holder of....'"

There is a good real-life creepypasta style urban legend of the "Toynbee Tiles," which are very real and plastered on streets all around the world. There's a good documentary on NetFlix about them, called "Resurrect Dead: Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles."

[1upmushroom]

Have you ever heard of Hypno's Lullaby? I've never read it myself but I really don't want to, mostly in the fears that it'll hypnotise me. However if you've heard of it, can you tell me what it's about?

Btw, have you heard of the most popular Videogame Creepy Pasta of all time, arguably the first one made? It's actually more of an engaging story than a scary to be quite honest. It gives you so much detail and yet it's still riddled with unanswered questions, and the like.

The only real bad thing about it is that it's not yet complete and even if it was, there'd still most likely be some unanswered questions.

I've also read the NES Godzilla CreepyPasta, and while the ending can be a little corny, I find it very satisfying especially when I first read the story.

I've heard of Hypno's Lullaby. It's a walk in the park. As far as 'the most popular video-game creepypasta,' are you referring to "BEN?"

[1upmushroom]

Ah dammit! I forgot the name!

But yeah that's what I'm refferring to.

[Serum]

Still, it's hard to take Marble Hornets seriously after watching their comedy videos on their other channel...

[Prime Evil]

I made an extended reference to the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Episode 66 creepypasta in my Ghostbusters Japan thread. Check the Cursed/Haunted Artifacts section.

[Serum]

Not exactly a creepypasta, per se, but an amazing simulation of one... VHS, Official Selection of Sundance 2012 trailer.

Basically just Marble Hornets: The Motion Picture. But as far as "found footage" movies go, this one looks genuinely scary, like, the first scary one since the original "Blair Witch" from 1999.

Yeah, I refuse to put the forward slashes in there. The movie is called "VHS." VHS means Video Home System. Or, in the case of this movie... Video Hell System.

I would've said S/U/P/E/R/8, but that's already taken.

It could be worse. It could be T/R/A/N/S/F/O/R/M/E/R/S/R/E/V/E/N/G/E/O/F/T/H/E/F/A/L/L/E/N/A/F/I/L/M/B/Y/M/I/C/H/A/E/L/B/A/Y ... now that's something more terrifying than any creepypasta.

[Prime Evil]

Anyhoo, back to Creepypasta...There's an art installation somewhere of a dining room. Its most unique feature is the fact that everything matches the patterened wallpaper--the drapes, the carpet (oh, shut up, you preverts), the placemats, the patterns on the plates, the tablecloth, the upholstery on the chairs, EVERYTHING matches this goddamn wallpaper. Must get around to finding out what it is and writing a creepypasta about it.

There's lots of good ones out there, I don't like the "Holders" series, though. They always start out the same: "Walk into a hospital or halfway house anywhere in America and ask to the Holder of (X)..." They never go anywhere with it. I really like Ki Simpson's (author of Dead Bart and many others) work-- he's a master of the "lost episode" genre.

[Prime Evil]

Ahehheh...you miss my point. It's a real art installation...saw it in my Art Appreciation textbook six years ago. In fact, I'm headed back to Moraine Valley in a few weeks for classes, and I'll make a point of asking my former instructor about it (if she's still there). When I find out what it's called and look at it again, hopefully I'll get enough ideas to write a creepypasta or SCP entry about it.

I've never been able to make sense of any of the SCP things, what are they?

Think of a cross between Warehouse 13, Mad Libs, and just about every horror trope you can think of.

[Serum]

I don't know what "Warehouse 13" or "Mad Libs" is.

[1upmushroom]

For Mad Libs, think of a generic story with blanks in them. Your job is to basically fill the blanks to complete the story.

[Prime Evil]

I don't know what "Warehouse 13" or "Mad Libs" is.

Ok, I have to cut you a bit of slack. I didn't know what Warehouse 13 was until last year. It's a show on the SciFi channel--sorry, SyFy--about two ex-CIA agents who find themselves working for "The Warehouse," and their job is to travel the world capturing dangerous artifacts, such as Edgar Allan Poe's pen and notebook, Mata Hari's stockings, and other fun stuff. You might recognize Saul Rubinek, who plays their "boss," Artie, from the Star Trek TNG episode "The Most Toys."

It's really funny, and there's a lot of good dialogue.

AND THEN A SKELETON POPPED OUT

[1upmushroom]

Everyman HYBRID seems like a good Slender-Series. I'm mostly intrigued by the fact that it sort of throws you in once Slendy gets more involved. I mean sure it's pretty quick but it's still kind of jarring.

It's not very good. Neither is TribeTwelve. Marble Hornets is the only one I've seen done by competent amateur filmmakers.

[1upmushroom]

Actually, if there's a Slenderman story I don't rally care for it's "Just Another Fool". Yeah, it's the first Slender-Blog and a few Slender-Tropes were introduced but I'm sorry, it just doesn't age very well. The fact that the comments have a couple of game-breakers and people who clearly don't get ARG's doesn't help, especially since some of the story develops in the comments section!

Plus, it just ends, and for no good reason!

[Serum]

I wonder how much money Victor Surge is making off of the DVD sales for Marble Hornets. They are using his character, after all.

I read one on the CreepyPasta Wikia site last night that was pretty freaky to me. It had to do with the first Kingdom Hearts game and was talking about a place known as the 'Cathedral Glitch,' which took the player to an area much like the cathedral with the Snow White scenes.

However, the pictures were not family friendly in this alternate take, showing an image of a dead and bloodied Snow White. Heartless showed up, but were not like the usual Heartless, in that they had long claws and yellow eyes with glowing red irises and this creepy music played, sounding like somebody was trying to play a broken violin.

Supposedly, there was a man who worked on the game early on and he was responsible for this area of the game, but he soon began hearing voices and claimed that he saw these abnormal Heartless and I can't remember exactly how it said he died but he was found dead shortly after he made these claims.

I am a big Kingdom Hearts fan and would like to know if anyone else has other CreepyPasta stories related to the KH series.

[1upmushroom]

Eh, those stories are mostly fake and if there does exist a Cathedral Glitch, then it's not as f#cked up as the story makes it out to be.

Most video-game creepypastas are like that. "And then there were hyper-realistic graphics with photorealistic eyes and blood..." It's usually the same thing, over and over again. They're all stories written by kids from New Jersey who have nothing better to do than scare other kids from New Jersey-- still, it doesn't stop me from reading them.

[1upmushroom]

They're like the internet equivilant of Pulp Novels. They're repetitive and violent but somehow entertaining, especially the really bad ones.

[Serum]

I'm sorry, I just have to bring this one up-- It's a "Creepypasta" about the origins of the character of Mario. While not inheriently scary, it does provide a lot of interesting (albeit untrue) insight to the Super Mario universe...

http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/The_Real_Mario

Here's the text...

We have all heard of Mario. We know him as a heroic italian plumber, who fights Bowser to save Princess Peach, traveling across upbeat landscapes. But there is a darker side to his story, the one that actually concieved our view of him.

Mario was an Italian immigrant, his family moved to America in 1954. Like most people coming to America in those years, his family came through Ellis Island.

As Mario and his family were herded down the inspection line, it was discovered that his mother was afflicted with Trachoma. She was immediately marked to be deported. His Mother insisted that the family go on without her, and reluctantly, they did, and continued to New York. This experience was extremely traumatic for Mario, and he began to develop an eating disorder, he starved himself to a point of near death. Only through the support of his older brother Luigi was he able to recover, although his growth was stunted. This made him easily offended by comments about his height.

The next blow came when Mario was sixteen. His father was killed in car accident, and he immediately fell into another depression. This time, Luigi, who had moved away, was not there to help him through it.

Mario was on the verge of suicide, he began searching for suitable ways to end his life. He heard about an arms dealer who would be willing to sell him a revolver. He ventured into the ghettos and found the dealer, but was surprised when he was presented not with a firearm, but with a bag of brown and white mushrooms. He asked the man if they would kill him.The man said that the mushrooms wouldn't kill him, but would help him feel better.

Mario bought them, went home, and ate them. Immediately, he felt as if he was in another world, all of his troubles faded away. Little orange turtles rode smiley faced clouds, red mushroom head people praised him as their king. And his mother came back to him. Princess Peach, he called her, as he retreated into the depths of his psychadelic paradise. As Mario's grasp on reality shrank, his indulgence in mushrooms grew. He began growing them, as well as other exotic and illegal plants. Mario also began breeding turtles, for unknown reasons.

Time went on, and Mario began having to take more and more mushrooms to remain high. Eventually, the mushrooms began having a.....different effect. His world became darker, unrest among his subjects was evident. And reality began catching up with him, he was falling behind on his bills.

Finally, his world collapsed as he was kicked out of his house. Peach was taken from him once more, brown and white mushrooms viciously devoured his friends, the turtles and plants that he had once loved betrayed him, and it seemed like his world had met it's end.

That was, until, the return of his brother.

Luigi returned as soon as he had learned about his father's death, he knew that Mario wouldn't be able to handle it, and that he may attempt suicide, or worse. As he drove up to Mario's dilapidated, run down house. His fears were realized. A large "Foreclosed" sign was in the yard, he rushed past it and found the house empty, devoid of furniture with garbage strewn about to compensate.

Luigi was crushed at what he believed to be the death of his last surviving family member. He drove back to the airport, but along the way noticed something very peculiar. On the side of the road, a man was devouring huge amounts of what appeared to be mushrooms. He bared a striking resemblance to Mario, so Luigi looked way, not wanting to be reminded about his brother's demise. But then he realised, that was his brother!

He immediately pulled over to the side of the road, rushed to Mario, and pulled him into his car. He sped to the nearest hospital, while Mario convulsed in the back. Once he arrived, Mario was rushed to the emergency room. The doctors asked Luigi to leave, he agreed and vigilantly waited outside of the door. After several hours, one of them stepped out, and brought Luigi the news.

He was alive, albeit barely. But the dose of psilocybin mushrooms needed to cause an overdose was over two thousand times the dose needed to have hallucinogenic effects. Mario's mind had been irreparably damaged.

But Luigi refused to accept this, he hired all sorts of health professionals to aid Mario. However, it seemed as if all the Therapists and Psycologists in the world would not be able to help him. He began to have delusions of Mario making progress, and would gleefully present Mario with a sticker in the shape of a star, whenever he felt he had acknowledged reality.

Mario was happy with his new world, Princess Peach was back, as well as his brother. He felt like he could do anything, smash through brick walls, jump on top of people's heads. He neglected to give his brother credit for anything, and remembered it as if he was the older brother. Luigi began losing his grip on reality as well, he would play along with Mario at times, and become what many people would call overly absorbed in his brother's world.

Then, Luigi was brought out of this stupor when he was presented with a proposition. Hiroshi Yamauchi, the third president of Nintendo, posed as a reknowned psycologist. He claimed to have the perfect cure for Mario's insanity. Yamauchi said that Mario would be flown to an advanced healthcare center in Kyoto, Japan. Where he would recieve the most technologically advanced treatment possible. The only drawback was that Luigi would not be able to come.

Luigi agreed, said his goodbyes to his brother, and returned home. He felt his brother was safe, and would return soon, freed from his mental shackles. If only he could have seen what went on during those following years.

Yamauchi had Mario immediately brought to the Nintendo Headquarters, it was a failing business at the time, with a stock price of around ¥60. This was his chance. He began questioning Mario about his world, using it to get ideas for his games. This led to not only the Mario franchise, but others, such as Pokemon and Legend of Zelda. This was how Nintendo rose from a small card company to become one of the main game-producing companies in the world.

Perhaps Mario is still living there, generating ideas that create games that our children will play. Now, I need to ask something of you, whenever you see an episode of Pokemon, or buy one of those Super Mario games, remember The Real Mario, the one that made it all happen.

Anyone else read "Seeking Truth". It's something of a fan favorite among slender-fans and I happen to be one of them. Why? Well for the starters, the character of Zeke Strahm, is the most badass character in a slender-blog EVER! Whereas most victims of the Slenderman either go insane or just give up, Zeke always remains badass. Sure he gets a little cooky but it's relatively short and he goes back to his badass nature soon. In fact even though Zeke is sad by the fact that his partner/love interest Lizzie is killed by the Slenderman (Technically Conaghen) this actually mostly makes him angrier and makes him more determined to kill Slenderman! Oh yeah another thing, Zeke doesn't manage to survive the Slenderman visits, his motivation at the end of the story is flat out kill the bastard!

It may seem like I'm a little too positive but I just like this character so much! He's a really refreshing character amongst the typical bloggers who simply go insane (though Damien of DiD might be an exception.)

Also, the blog itself is unique. While Slenderman's involvement is very obvious two posts in, the story is actually grounded in reality and offers many realistic possibilities that make sense, it doesn't just assume Slenderman is involved. Other videos like Marble Hornets and Just another Fool are mentioned and often lampshaded. It's just very unique and overall a very good blog that's worth a read.

[Serum]

Speaking of Slender Man, the new Marble Hornets entry came out earlier tonight...

...I'm starting to think that tall fellow isn't from around here.

[Movieguy]

Polybius, I want someone to make a movie around it.

If you guys keep up with trible twleve and Darkharvest00, slender man is some sort of Elder god straight out of the cthulu mythos.

The effects are amazing and the story holy shit how did they do some of the shit they do.
Felix is a dumbass He and the darkharvest guys made some terrible mistakes in the crossover video.


Felix could of said some other things and gotten out of the cults way. He should of been more respectful to the overseer.
I hate the cult, but with shit like that you do not piss them off. You do what you need to and haul ass out.
Also I don't understand did someone stab slender man what was with the guy screaming ANARCHY!!
I liked the effort they do, but they protagonists seem so oblivious. It's like a zombie movie that doesn't use zombie or undead. I'd love to see them team up with a occult researcher. Someone who knows what the fuck he is doing.
Yet still having a challenge ahead.






Re'lehoteph is his name or something.

Oh and everyman hybrid is also getting interesting.
It's more theatrical so expect less updates but better quality

[Prime Evil]

Hey, quick question.

Slender Man vs. The Silence from Doctor Who...who would win?
