PONEEZ

I've gotta admit: I've seen a number of SC Ps, but none of them really scared me or even creeped me out enough to stay up later than usual.

Except one. SCP-993.

As back as I can remember (back to seven years of age), I've never been scared of clowns. Except Pennywise, and even that was just one night. And yet, this story is the creepiest I've read in quite a while. It's just... The idea of a Mr. Rogers of Captain Kangaroo-like preschooler show, but instead of teaching kids to count to twenty or encourage them to help around the house, it teaches them to commit some of the worst possible depravities humans are capable of. And these viewers, without exception, grow into terrible psychopaths. Simply put, the idea that somewhere, somehow, such a show could exist is one of the most terrifying concepts I can think of.

There was later a text supplement hinting at Bobble's origins and motives, but this only makes it less scary. It's more frightening when you have absolutely no idea to where he came from or what he wants.

"What's out there? What's waiting for me?"

Someone mentioned it, but worth linking the Ichor Falls blog. http://www.ichorfalls.com/

It's the origin of the Candle Cove story and contains some really good short pastas such as the Stillwood King, Curious Little Thing and The Opossum Society. Less stories and more vignettes are the Hirsch Camera and The Fulcrum, but they're still among the creepier things I've ever read. The whole site is fairly small and worth a read.

Oh gosh, The Fulcrum. I first read that on the Creepypasta wiki, and as an English major I was seriously freaked out by it. Though it wasn't quite because of the Brown Note ending, but because of the way it managed to make a neverending run-on sentence of doom creepy.

BTW, the wiki's great for discovering new pasta every now and then. One I remembered liking was Fog.

• 2. Candle Cove

• 3. Smile.jpg

• 4. That Super Mario 64 pasta

• 5. 1dollar.wav

• 6. Dead Bart ( I do admit though, the "DED BORT" thing is good nightmare retardant if you got creeped out by this one.)

• 7. Squidward's Suicide

• 8. Team Fortress 2 - Play Dead

• 9. Polybius (Technically an urban legend, but there's a creepypasta about it so it counts.)

• 10. 1999

(Also, am I the only one who finds Suicide Mouse funny now and isn't scared of BEN anymore thanks to the nightmare retardant about them?)

OMG, I just remembered this short pasta I read ages ago. Don't know why, but somehow I enjoyed the twist in this one.

The Third Wish

I read through Happy Appy. It started out decent, but it just got really silly by the end. Too silly.

I agree. I read last week a number of things that have been listed on this page. And 1999 was great, it was really effective and its use of a specific real setting (Caledon and whatnot) really worked for me. It kept things properly brief. Happy Appy seemed similarly promising...and then it just got bad. Once it got past a certain point, the basic premise sort of lost its shock value, but that's not the worst of it. The sheer amount of complicated backstory and all the stuff the protagonist/writer goes through just sunk it for me. It stops being plausible or creepy and just sloppily coasts over all this action and stuff. It's like the author had this whole big idea of what they believed to be an epic and exciting story and maybe it had potential, but I think it's badly written. The protagonist turns into some sort of action badass and just seems so nonchalant about it...it takes some pretty intense stuff and turns it into a sort of laundry list of "And then I did this...and then this..." with very little real human emotion.

1999 took the creepy kids show idea in a logical direction with the fact that this crazy guy was broadcasting it himself from his house. Whereas in Happy Appy...the implication seems to be that they filmed the whole thing, even though they didn't release/broadcast most of it...but that a legitimate production company filmed something so horrible in its entirety...how does that make any sense? I don't recall there being anything about why the director was allowed to continue the whole thing, wouldn't they have stopped production upon realizing it wasn't just an innocent kids show?

Maybe I'm giving this too much thought, but I pushed myself through the whole damn thing and I want to understand why people don't seem to mind the flaws I saw in it.

Just wondering: Why are the "lost episodes" creepypastas considered scary?

I mean, I myself find some of them scary, but I don't know why exactly. They're just unusual episodes of otherwise harmless TV shows. Nothing real.

They're a dime a dozen, yeah, but I'll give Squidward's Suicide its props for successfully creeping me out with that horridly vivid imagery. Could not stop thinking about that one for a week. It still gives me the shivers, honestly.

I guess it has something to do with the perversion of those innocent children's shows by god knows what.

I couldn't conceive a dream so wet; your bongos make me congo.

Did Suicide Mouse creep anyone else out?

It unsettled me, but I wasn't really SCARED

"Contests fought between two masters are decided instantly. An invisible battle is now raging between the two of them." Lulu vs Schneizel

I'm pretty sure that's the point of most creepypasta. Not for immediate shock value like, say, a Jump Scare, but just the creepy, unsettling feeling. Be that through disturbing, vivid imagery or those "Hey, you know that weird thing that happens sometimes? WELL WHAT IF IT WERE THIS" moments.

But yeah, even knowing and seeing how obviously fake it is, there is something fundamentally chilling about the sort of screaming that kicks in after a while.

How can anyone consider Happy Appy even slightly creepy? Its so overblown and too long winded for its concept. Am I the only one who thought the cameo of Aphex Twin was random? Plus, for a serial killer, the villain was such a pussy. He kept getting his ass kicked, and his apperances are so random, that its negates his potential to be scary. The whole thing was full of narm.

What the hell was up with the last episodes? It was just some kids who getting stalked by Appy, but they keep defeating,so he feels more like a nuisance, even when he actually does kills them.

You summed up my overly-long post in a much shorter one. I agree 100%. "1999" and of course Candle Cove are to me examples of how to do a "creepy kid's show" creepypasta right, Happy Appy seems like nothing so much as a bad imitation of the same formula.

Did I already say that indeed these sorts of pasta probably have less of an effect on me because watching TV really wasn't a part of my childhood? Well yeah. There's not much personal about it.

Candle Cove sorta made me go "eh?"

I didn't really see what was supposed to be scary about it. Maybe it's because of the Forum style layout of pasta. It just diffused any fear I might have felt, and again, I didn't get what was supposed to be CREEPY about it in the first place.

What happens is UNUSUAL, don't get me wrong, but what kind of fear is it tapping into? What's that other pasta you're mentioning? 1999?

Some hypotheses concerning the creepiness of Candle Cove:

• Children see things adults don't, or are susceptible to influences adults are not
• Your own past and childhood are not as you remember
• Your mind, and thereby yourself, is more disturbing than you'd like to think
• Entertainment and media affect those who enjoy them or observe them
• None of it is ever explained

The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable

I do admit Happy Appy got a bit too over the top for it's own good near the end, but it still seems like a good story to me. What makes 1999 such a great pasta and what makes it so scary is that it sounds like something that could have actually happened in real life.

Un-frickin-touchable.

I thinks it's the last part.

To be perfectly honest, I think some of the creepiest stuff is the stuff that isn't described as being dangerous. If it turned out the people who watched Candle Cove just randomly committed suicide or had their flesh stolen by the Skin Taker, it wouldn't have been nearly as unsettling.

"If you're out here why do I miss you so much?"

Something as popularly creepy as Candle Cove almost certainly plays on multiple fears at once. Nothing Is Scarier in particular is most readily apparent, but it can't carry the story all on its own.
