Your favourite CreepyPastas?

[idarkphoenixi]

Guess you might say I'm late to the party because I never even heard of it until rather recently but I've been reading up on a lot of them lately and it's been a ton of fun.

Creepypasta for those not in the know, are internet horror stories of sorts.
Slenderman is a good example although I only find the concept of Slenderman scary, when he's actually doing stuff he becomes just another horror villain to me.

I think "Mr. Widemouth" was done extremely well, it doesn't go over-the-top and keeps the horror elements rather subtle:http://www.creepypasta.com/mr-widemouth/ One of my all-time favourites.

Spoiler: A good audio recording of the same story

Anyone else have a favourite out there?

Spoiler: Feel free to spread the word

EDIT: I cannot believe I never posted the Penpal series but you guys should definitely check it out. One of the best written stories I've ever read:

Spoiler: Be prepared for an assload of YouTube links, the actual written novel is only available upon purchase. But this is still an excellent rendition

There are a lot of shitty Creepypasta, which is a shame because when they're good they can be REALLY damn good. I had an idea for an RP linking a few creepypasta together, but it never took off; damn my laziness!

Vermicelli. It's always made me uneasy...

Yeah, that's the problem. There's a TON of "crappypastas" out there. People who either don't understand subtlety or just end up writing bad characters. Jeff the Killer is probably the biggest example of that.

Spoiler: Of course there are always gems like this

There are some pretty good ones on here.

There are quite a few that I've wanted to adapt into short films that have a really good idea, but a mediocre writer.The Gallery of Henri Beauchamp [http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/The_Gallery_of_Henri_Beauchamp] is a favourite of mine, despite the writing being quite poor, because it carries a brilliant air of mystery.

 

[slevin8989]

I haven't read many creepy pastas but out of the ones I've read i have to say that majora's mask ben drowning was pretty chilling

 

[TehCookie]

I have not read a creepypasta that tops this one:

So ur wid yo honi and ur makin out wen the phone ringz. U ansr it n da voice sayz "wut r u doin wit ma daughter?"

u tel ur girl n she say "ma dad is ded."

THEN WHO WAS PHONE?

 

[cojo965]

Fucking ninja, Mr Widemouth was my first choice. Well lacking that I guess I'll go with Eyeless Jack:

[King Aragorn]

My favorite isn't really a creepy pasta in the sense that it's scary, but it was a recent one on this years Valentines, I can't remember the name, but it's a kind of heart breaking creepy romance story. Really great execution.

 

[Groxnax]

Xorax is a tasty Creepy pasta story.

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

I haven't browsed any creepypastas in a long time. I used to go on MrCreepyPasta's channel after TheLittleFears stopped making videos. Not to listen to him narrate but to find one to read instead. Seriously, I usually read fics rather than have them narrated but she was way better at telling creepy stories than MrCreepyPasta was.
Anyway.
Here's my favorite creepypasta, which I found on TheLittleFears' channel, no less.


It's got a real good campfire story feel to it too.

Captcha: lunchtime

Captcha, you're sick.

Jesus Christ I almost shit out my heart, you gotta spoiler stuff like that man there are kids on this site.


OT: Alot of Creepy Pastas are lame but there are a few good ones. I really liked the Squidward and Morrowind ones. Also I like the SCP Foundation stuff as well.

 

[DarklordKyo]

I dunno if it really counts as a creepypasta despite being featured on the creepypasta wiki, but Ash's Coma.

 

[Broderick]

I like a lot of the original slenderman mythos. smile.jpg is a classic, and so is 'Who was phone" and "the day of all the blood". I have a special place in my heart for "we danced" if only because I imagined a grey stalker from parasite eve 2. Anything from the SCP foundation(if it counts as creepypasta) and The Holders is great as well. Someone mentioned Xorax earlier, so I recommend you guys check that out if you havent read it yet(do not read any comments about the story, go into it blind). The Rake is a good one too...hrm. Pokemon black is an entertaining one too, and it even has its own playable game version now if I remember correctly.

Why have one creepypasta, when you can have an entire top-secret organization full of them?
http://www.scp-wiki.net/
I'm not much for horror, but the scientific way the SCP Foundation approaches these really pulls me in and makes me want to read about stuff like the lizard that hates all life or the ball of green slime that [REDACTED] when introduced to dead bodies. Most of them are more interesting than scary, but some of them can really creep you out. On that note, here si the original SCP, and one of my favoites: http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-173

Of course some of them are just gloriously ridiculous http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-426.

I was actually thinking of mentioning scp. I love those cases. Favourites including 173 (the 'try not to blink' statue), 087 (the neverending staircase) and of course 682 the invincible rage-filled lizard.

How about the classic called Candle Cove? http://tindeck.com/listen/zhhj

You can read along with it here.

Does anyone remember this kid?s show? It was called Candle Cove and I must have been 6 or 7. I never found reference to it anywhere so I think it was on a local station around 1971 or 1972. I lived in Ironton at the time. I don?t remember which station, but I do remember it was on at a weird time, like 4:00 PM.

it seems really familiar to me?..i grew up outside of ashland and was 9 yrs old in 72. candle cove?was it about pirates? i remember a pirate marionete at the mouth of a cave talking to a little girl

Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
YES! Okay I?m not crazy! I remember Pirate Percy. I was always kind of scared of him. He looked like he was built from parts of other dolls, real low-budget. His head was an old porcelain baby doll, looked like an antique that didn?t belong on the body. I don?t remember what station this was! I don?t think it was WTSF though.

Sorry to ressurect this old thread but I know exactly what show you mean, Skyshale. I think Candle Cove ran for only a couple months in ?71, not ?72. I was 12 and I watched it a few times with my brother. It was channel 58, whatever station that was. My mom would let me switch to it after the news. Let me see what I remember.
It took place in Candle cove, and it was about a little girl who imagined herself to be friends with pirates. The pirate ship was called the Laughingstock, and Pirate Percy wasn?t a very good pirate because he got scared too easily. And there was calliope music constantly playing. Don?t remember the girl?s name. Janice or Jade or something. Think it was Janice.

Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
Thank you Jaren!!! Memories flooded back when you mentioned the Laughingstock and channel 58. I remember the bow of the ship was a wooden smiling face, with the lower jaw submerged. It looked like it was swallowing the sea and it had that awful Ed Wynn voice and laugh. I especially remember how jarring it was when they switched from the wooden/plastic model, to the foam puppet version of the head that talked.

Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
ha ha i remember now too. do you remember this part skyshale: ?you have?to go?INSIDE.?

Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
Ugh mike, I got a chill reading that. Yes I remember. That?s what the ship always told Percy when there was a spooky place he had to go in, like a cave or a dark room where the treasure was. And the camera would push in on Laughingstock?s face with each pause. YOU HAVE? TO GO? INSIDE. With his two eyes askew and that flopping foam jaw and the fishing line that opened and closed it. Ugh. It just looked so cheap and awful.
You guys remember the villain? He had a face that was just a handlebar mustache above really tall, narrow teeth.

Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
i honestly, honestly thought the villain was pirate percy. i was about 5 when this show was on. nightmare fuel.

Jaren_2005
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
That wasn?t the villain, the puppet with the mustache. That was the villain?s sidekick, Horace Horrible. He had a monocle too, but it was on top of the mustache. I used to think that meant he had only one eye.
But yeah, the villain was another marionette. The Skin-Taker. I can?t believe what they let us watch back then.

kevin_hart
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
jesus h. christ, the skin taker. what kind of a kids show were we watching? i seriously could not look at the screen when the skin taker showed up. he just descended out of nowhere on his strings, just a dirty skeleton wearing that brown top hat and cape. and his glass eyes that were too big for his skull. christ almighty.

Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
Wasn?t his top hat and cloak all sewn up crazily? Was that supposed to be children?s skin??

mike_painter65
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
yeah i think so. rememer his mouth didn?t open and close, his jaw just slid back and foth. i remember the little girl said ?why does your mouth move like that? and the skin-taker didn?t look at the girl but at the camera and said ?TO GRIND YOUR SKIN?

Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
I?m so relieved that other people remember this terrible show!
I used to have this awful memory, a bad dream I had where the opening jingle ended, the show faded in from black, and all the characters were there, but the camera was just cutting to each of their faces, and they were just screaming, and the puppets and marionettes were flailing spastically, and just all screaming, screaming. The girl was just moaning and crying like she had been through hours of this. I woke up many times from that nightmare. I used to wet the bed when I had it.

kevin_hart
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
i don?t think that was a dream. i remember that. i remember that was an episode.

Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
No no no, not possible. There was no plot or anything, I mean literally just standing in place crying and screaming for the whole show.

kevin_hart
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
maybe i?m manufacturing the memory because you said that, but i swear to god i remember seeing what you described. they just screamed.

Jaren_2005
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
Oh God. Yes. The little girl, Janice, I remember seeing her shake. And the Skin-Taker screaming through his gnashing teeth, his jaw careening so wildly I thought it would come off its wire hinges. I turned it off and it was the last time I watched. I ran to tell my brother and we didn?t have the courage to turn it back on.

mike_painter65
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid?s show?
i visited my mom today at the nursing home. i asked her about when i was littel in the early 70s, when i was 8 or 9 and if she remebered a kid?s show, candle cove. she said she was suprised i could remember that and i asked why, and she said ?because i used to think it was so strange that you said ?i?m gona go watch candle cove now mom? and then you would tune the tv to static and juts watch dead air for 30 minutes. you had a big imagination with your little pirate show.?

 

[Total LOLige]

Christ, that Disney one was awful, a very underwhelming ending. I'm not really a fan of creepypasta, the only one I found creepy was Candle Cove.

One story that has always given me the creeps is the legend of Robert The Doll, aww I'm getting the chills just thinking about it. It was supposedly the inspiration for Chucky I'm not surprised, it's creepy as hell. It's given me more chills than any horror writer, maybe it's because it's meant to be true.

Spoiler: Robert The Doll Legend

f La Isla de La Munecas has showed us anything, it is that a benign child's toy can be the subject of nightmares. Stories of haunted dolls is not uncommon but one stands out above the rest. In the late 1800s, Thomas Otto and his family moved in to a mansion at the corner of Eaton and Simonton streets in Key West, Florida now known as the Artist House. The Ottos were known to be stern with their servants sometimes even mistreating them. It was the treatment of one such Haitian servant that provides a twist in this story. This woman was hired to take care of their son Robert. One day, Mrs. Otto supposedly witnessed her practicing black magic in their backyard and fired her.

Before she left, the woman gave Robert a life-like doll which stood 3ft tall, button for eyes, human hair (believed to be Robert's) and filled with straw. Dolls that resembled children were not unheard of during this time, but this one proved to be special. Robert named the doll after himself and often dressed it in his clothes. Robert the doll became his trustworthy companion. He took it with him on shopping trips in to town. The doll had a seat at the dinner table where Robert would sneak it bites of food when his parents weren't looking. Robert would even be tucked in to bed with the boy at night. Soon this innocent relationship took on a strange nature.

Soon after, Robert chose to be referred to as his middle name Gene after being scolding by his Mother. He told her the doll's name was Robert not his. Gene was often heard in his toy room having conversations with Robert. Gene would say something in his childish manner and response could be heard in a much lower voice. Sometimes Gene would become very agitated, worrying the servants and his mother. She would on occasion burst in to find her son cowering in a corner while Robert sat perched in a chair or on the bed glaring at him. This was to be only the beginning.

Household objects would be found thrown across the room. Gene's toys turned up mutilated, giggling could be heard. Whenever these unusual acts took place, Gene always said, "Robert did it!" The boy took the punishment but always insisted the blame was Robert. As the mischief grew, more and more servants took their leave as new ones were hired. The Ottos' relatives felt it was time to do something. With the recommendation of a great aunt, Gene's parents removed Robert from his care and placed him in a box in the attic. This is where he resided for many years.

After the death of his father, Gene was willed his boyhood home. He decided to live in the Victorian mansion with is new wife. Gene had become an artist and felt the house was spacious and would provide a place for him to paint. He went to the attic and dusted off his childhood toy. He became attached to the doll despite his wife's displeasure. Gene would take the doll along with them everywhere they went. He even sat in his favorite little chair while Gene and his wife slept nearby. The Turret Room became Robert's domain after Mrs. Otto moved him back to the attic. Their marriage slowly became sour until Mrs. Otto supposedly went insane and died of unknown reasons. Gene followed soon behind.

Robert supposedly attacked people, sometimes locking them in the attic. People who passed by claim to hear evil laughter coming from the Turret Room. For some time, Robert remained in the empty house by himself until a new family purchased the mansion and restored it. The doll was once again moved to the attic. This pleased it as much as the last time. The doll was often found throughout the house. On one certain night, Robert was found at the foot of the owners bed giggling with a kitchen knife in hand. This was enough to send them fleeing from the home.

Robert was later moved to the East Martello Museum in Key West where he sits perched in a glass box. Despite his new living quarters, the doll is believed to not have given up his menacing ways. Visitors and employees claim they have seen the doll move. His smile has been known to turn in to a scowl. One employee cleaned Robert, turned off all the lights and left for the night. The next day, they returned to find lights turned on, Robert sitting in a different position than the night before and a fresh layer of dust on his shoes. Some say he'll even curse you. If you want to take a picture of him, you must ask politely. He'll tilt his head in permission. However, if he doesn't and you take the picture anyways, a curse will befall upon you and anyone who accompanied you to the museum. The same will happen if you make fun of him.

To this day, Robert remains at the East Martello Museum in his sailor suit clutching his stuff lion, continuing his menacing ways.

I always liked Genetic Memory. It may be short, but it come across as having an element of truth in it.

Many classic horror icons, such as Giger?s Xenomorphs, Silent Hill?s Pyramid Head, and other disturbing creatures, share common characteristics. Pale skin, dark, sunken eyes, elongated faces, sharp teeth, and the like. These images inspire horror and revulsion in many, and with good reason. The characteristics shared by these faces are imprinted in the human mind.

Many things frighten humans instinctively. The fear is natural, and does not need to be reinforced in order to terrify. The fears are species-wide, stemming from dark times in the past when lightning could mean the burning of your tree home, thunder could be the approaching gallops of a stampede, predators could hide in darkness, and heights could make poor footing lethal.

The question you have to ask yourself is this:

What happened, deep in the hidden eras before history began, that could effect the entire human race so evenly as to give the entire species a deep, instinctual, and lasting fear of pale beings with dark, sunken eyes, razor sharp teeth, and elongated faces?

? Just be careful out there.
