History WMG / CandleCove

This Reddit comment by Kris confirms that [[https://www.reddit.com/r/local58/comments/coobcc/did_they_ever_air_candle_cove_on_local_58/ewnj1jo?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share it would indeed have aired]] on his current project “WebVideo/Local58.” Like Candle Cove, Local 58 has on the surface a seemingly disjointed narrative and is centered on fears of the unknown, with FoundFootage heavy on recreated VHS aesthetics taking the place of a thread of 2000s-era internet message boards.

[[WMG: Candle Cove takes place in the same universe as the [[Franchise/{{FiveNightsAtFreddys}} "Five Nights at Freddy's franchise"]]]]

It was a normal show, but the [[JohnDiesAtTheEnd Shadow Men]] altered something and made the actors, creators, or whole damn studio unpeople. The only people that can see it or remember it are kids who saw it at the time it aired and are especially sensitive to [[Series/DoctorWho Timey Wimey]] stuff. It could definitely explain why some people's memories seem to be fuzzy. And maybe the Nightmare Fuel Unleaded portion of it is just what happens to memories when stuff like that happens.
* Maybe even the [[JohnDiesAtTheEnd Shadow Men]] deemed the show too creepy and decided to take things into their own hands?

It was just the last one anyone ''watched'', having been scared so badly by it that they never wanted to see the show again. The series continued past that point for an unknown amount of time (presumably not long, if nobody was watching, but then again, [[SchrodingersCat we can't be sure]]).

A huge example is the book/TV series [[TheBerenstainBears The BerenstAin Bears]], where many people remember the spelling being Berenst-E-in, with an "e", even though it was never spelt that way. Anyway, it would explain why they remember this obscure show even though it never existed, and the guy's mom stated she remembered he just saw static.

[[WMG:Alternatively, the [[SlenderManMythos Slender Man]] is involved.]]

There's nothing that suggests that they explicitly can't co-exist, and it's equally possible that [[Videogame/{{FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation}} William Afton]] or maybe one of his older relatives made Candle Cove in the early 70's before either Afton moved onto animatronics by the 80's, or just decided to create Afton Animatronics after his father/uncle/brother/etc. failed either as something new he thought would take off or just because he liked the idea of making killer animatronics instead of creepy kid's shows. Candle Cove being connected to the Afton's makes sense when you consider that both the Candle Cove story and Five Nights at Freddy's franchise are full of [[{{NightmareFuel}} Nightmare Fuel]] and based on corruptions of many people's childhood things, as well as multiple strange events occuring both on the Candle Cove TV show and at the [[Videogame/{{FiveNightsAtFreddys}} multiple]] [[Videogame/{{FiveNightsAtFreddys2}} locations]] [[Videogame/{{FiveNightsAtFreddys3}} connected to the]] [[Videogame/{{FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation}} Afton family]].

* Alternatively, Slenderman was just the producer; while the rest of the show was made by the [[TheFearMythos the other fears.]] At the very least, The Smiling Man seems to have been involved with it.

* This may be becoming... semi-canon? Don't know how you determine what's "canon" and what's not in the Mythos. But EverymanHYBRID has been going down this lane. The most recent video, at least, has the cast ([[AndZoidberg and Damsel]]) talking about "finding the treasure" while watching a blank screen.

[[WMG: Candle Cove has similar origins to/is related to [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} "The Squiddles]]]]

[[WMG: All extant copies of Candle Cove have been confiscated by the SCPFoundation]]

I mean, just look at the title, it's obv[[color:white:[[NotMeThisTime Not me this time]], sorry]]
* I'd happily get snatched by JustForFun/CandleJack if it meant I was safe from the Skin Taker. *clears throat* Candle Jack. Um. ''Candle Jack.'' Candle Jack of the loving of the pumpkin pie? I'll bake one, I'll bake them all, seriously, just...Candle Jack! [[AvertedTrope FUCKING CANDLE JACK ALREADY!]] [[color:white:i can feel his teeth on my skin he's waiting why is he waiting]]
