general media Scariest Creepypastas? (NOT for people easily scared)

[DragonKing235 198]

I like all of them and I do not get scared because there just story's.

[Photon Jet 5,492]

Creepypastas...I've heard about those nightmares that haunts everypony's minds with fear and dread. I usually shrug off some Creepypastas with ease. But the ones I remember the most is when there was snow on Mt. Silver and that demonic hedgehog imposter...

"thanks", "roadkill" and "shoe tree" are a few good ones

Here's some good MLP creepypasta if you partake...

 

 

 

 

Also, this:

 

[Judgement 445]

The only ones I've ever read are Squidward's suicide and Sonic.exe.

 

Many of them are lacking in quality. Jumpscares are not the answer to horror.

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

I read lots of creepypasta. My favorite are the "Lost Episode" ones.

[Clover Heart 978]

I think I say this every chance I get, now, but Jeff the Killer is probably the most overrated creepypasta out there. I'll give you that the pic is creepy and I really can't stand it. Freaks me the fuck out. However, that's the entirety of its popularity. Jeff the Killer isn't a very well-written story. There are a lot of plot holes, contrivances and things left unexplained. There's so much that doesn't add up to the story, it's a wonder it has any modicum of popularity whatsoever. Then again, this is internet level of intelligence we're talking about, so maybe this is just my naivete speaking. Anything that's meant to be "scary" is so contrived and in your face that these elements fail as scary devices. Even if you can ignore that, however, the failings of the plot and the bad writing overshadow the rest of the story, completely taking away from what were supposed to be creepy elements. I'm still convinced, however, that the sole reason this story's popular or known at all, period, is because of the image that goes with it.

 

Jeff the Killer isn't the only story guilty of this. I think a lot of creepypasta lure the reader in with images which are infinitely scarier than the stories themselves. As mentioned above, Sonic.exe is one of these. And I agree with @Judgement. Jumpscares are the cheapest way to get a scare out of someone. They're to horror what pratfalls are to comedy: cheap, non-substantial and unappreciated by anyone older than age 5. Of course if you play something quiet and then blast someone's ears they're going to jump. That's not scaring someone. That's tapping into reflexes to raise someone's adrenaline superficially. True horror doesn't have to come out at you full force. I think Monsters University, while not a scary movie in the slightest, exemplified this very well.

 

In the scene toward the end where they scare all the police officers, they do a lot to set this up. Scratching at the walls, creating a presence of something the officers couldn't be sure was there. Making small, subtle movements of objects. These things built them up to be scared to Sully's scare could work on them in the end.

 

Likewise, in order for a creepypasta, or any scary story for that matter, to work in horror, it must implement a mood. A sort of looming sense that something's not quite right, or there's an intangible yet ungood force lurking within the room. It's not all in the big reveals, but also the subtleties, like the creaking of floorboards, tapping at the windows, howling winds or a door that seems to open on its own. These things rile the reader up for a big reveal. If you come at them with the reveal out of nowhere, especially in text format, it's not very scary so much as it's disorienting or confusing. However, if you build up tension and an increasing creepy or scary feeling, you're slowly raising the readers' adrenaline. You're putting them on edge and making them uneasy so that when the reveal finally happens, it's very easy to strike terror into the hearts of the readers. And sometimes, the reveal doesn't even have to be something that terrifying. I think Asia is good at making horror films that aren't that scary on the surface, but after you've finished the movie, the concepts slowly burrow into your head, putting you on edge and inflicting terror well after the movie's over. Whichever it is, though, there needs to be build-up that's done in a genuinely unnerving way that really gives the reader a sense of disturbance. That's how you do horror right.

 

As for scariest, I think I've only come across one pasta that I thought was genuinely scary to the point where I was really disturbed afterward, devoid of cheap tricks and crapily-shopped images: ALF Autopsy. I don't think this one is as well-known, but I find the imagery quite disturbing in it. I think this strikes a dissonance that creates a sense of deep-felt unease and disturbance. I don't think I'd ever even seen an episode of ALF before in my life, but this really kinda freaked me out. However, I feel I should point out that I heard this story before I really started getting into creepypastas, so my tolerance for them may have been low at the time. So take my feeling on this with a grain of salt.

 

Funnymouth was another one that kinda made me uneasy. I think because I'm easily disturbed by contorted faces.

 

Most others, I don't see as that scary. Maybe a tad creepy, but even then, I don't think all that much. I enjoy some of them, especially the urban legend type that seem like they could be true. But not scary. In particular, it seems like the ones that contain overt gore tend to be the least scary (ohemgee, awl da hyparealistic blood lol.) Not that stories that contain gore can't be scary, but people think that gore=horror. It doesn't. Have the gore if you want, but if you want your story to be scary, you have to include scary elements.

 

Some that I enjoyed but didn't find scary were XoRaX, The Final Days and Attract Mode. I think my favorite type are the mindfucks. Oh, and Cupcakes. Always Cupcakes 

 

Sorry for the behemoth post 

 

Just read Jeff the Killer, it isn't that scary...

 

The Russian Sleep Experiment, that's another story...

 

I think The Russian Sleep Experiment was really gorey, but not all that scary. I don't feel something looming or disturbing when I read it. Just violence. Still, I will say that it is creepy in the sense of the imagery.

I'm not sure if this counts as a "Creepypasta" since it didn't spread over the internet primarily but rather thru word of mouth. The old-fashioned way.

 

But...

 

My 11th grade history teacher has achieved a certain level of fame nationwide, because each year in early November, he tells a story called "the Kimberly Story". During my senior year of highschool (2006-2007) it had become so popular that he told it in the school's auditorium. This story is pretty terrifying the first few times you hear it. It's about a mentally disturbed and possibly demonically possessed young girl he knew from when he began his teaching career, back in the early 1980s. There are audio versions available of it on the internet if you search for it. However, nothing beats listening to it in person (an honor I experienced three times).

 

Aside from that, the 6-part "Penpal" creepypasta series that later became a published book and was posted on r/NoSleep on Reddit is not only well written and scary, but also sad and sentimental. Check it out if you've never heard of it.

This. Literally. Jeff/Slender Man/Eyeless Jack etc etc got so old due to fandoms/fangirls ruining their image. I can't even take them seriously anymore.

 

The ones that creep me out most are any of the ones with "pale" faces (watching you, you see them briefly etc etc) I remember "Upstairs" and "The Pale Face" made me feel uneasy. Also, ones about faces in mirrors and windows (shudders) o.e

 

The short, brief ones about ghosts are usually my favorites. Not ones with reoccuring characters like Jeff and Slendy.

Anyways, I can't find a good pasta anymore. It's either REALLY generic, or it leeches the creep factor out of the more famous one. There's a million Slenderman and Jeff the Killer stories that suck so much, it makes the original story 20 times worse than it really is. Most of these are made with such stupid factors in it. Like some of the leeches use Asian as shit names because they are anime fans and it reeeeeaaaaallly destroys the story. For instance, It's in USA, Jeff and his brother "Lui"? wtf, "Lui"? And now this is canon? wtf?

[Gordon Freeman 85]

Have to agree about Slender Man and Jeff the Killer, although I did like Slender Man before he became such a pop-culture reference. The image used for Jeff the Killer really is the scariest part of the story, seeing as though the story is relatively cheap. Considering that in the story Jeff was human it is easy to see that he would have at least gone blind shortly after as he had no eyelids, which would probably cause the remaining eyes to rot and cause an infection that would probably kill him. Then again, all of the points leading up to that anti-climactic death with the bleach and all probably couldn't happen either.

 

Candle Cove is probably my favorite overall, but I did come across one that I really enjoyed that doesn't inject the horror into every bit of it: "Midnight Train."

 

"On a Hill" is pretty good as well.

Oh, the eyelid thing really bothers me. Actually, most of the facial things bother me. First, that he had his face totally burnt, it's a wonder he can still use his eyes at all. It's not impossible, though. However, if his face -were- burnt, it wouldn't become smooth and leathery. The skin would just be gone. I can't remember if the story mentions anything about skin grafts, but even in that case, it wouldn't be smooth or leathery. Also, bleach, itself, doesn't cause your skin to lighten, at least not in a single application as is told about in the story. Have you ever gotten bleach on your hands from cleaning? It doesn't turn your skin stark white. Your hair wouldn't turn jet black if it were burned like that. It would just burn off the hair entirely. I think that hair should be able to grow back, but I'm not sure. If it does grow back, however, the color of your hair is determined by the amount of melanin in your body. Getting into such an accident wouldn't change the melanin levels in your body. 

 

You cannot burn off your eyelids. I don't even know what the writer was thinking, here. If s/he didn't want Jeff to have eyelids for whatever reason, it would make a lot more sense to cut them off, though that seems really difficult to do as well. Better yet, that he basically had his face burnt off, it would make more sense for the eyelid thing to happen there. And even if he were able to burn off his eyelids, how could he have done so without also burning his eyes, thus blinding himself? And you bring up a good point that if he didn't have eyelids, it would completely mess up his eyes. And he's supposed to be some great murderer after that? 

 

I don't understand about the red lips, like, at all. I don't know why it's included nor can I discern how it might have happened. The only thing that really makes sense about this whole thing is the cutting of the mouth. I could possibly see someone doing this to themselves from a psychotic break, and it would result in an altered appearance. However, if the corners of one's mouth are cut, it wouldn't result in an appearance like in the image. A mouth cut at the corners is actually a lot more scary. Just Google "Glasgow smile" or "Kuchisake Onna" to see how that looks. 

 

All of this stuff is thrown in superfluously to try and create a scary image, but it really fails in that regard. The whole time I was reading, in my head I just kept going, "Not possible. Not possible. Really not possible. How... would you even... *facepalm*" If it was trying to be scary, the poorly thought out ways for these things to happen completely ruined any chance of that. Maybe that's just my analytical side speaking, but even then, all these things are far too contrived to really be scary in any way.

[Holloway] lights another flare, tosses it toward the camera, then pushes the rifle against his chest and shoots himself. [              ]

  Unfortunately, Holloway is not entire[ ] s[    ]ssful. For exactly two minutes and 28 seconds he groans and twitches in his own blood, until fin[    ] he slip[] into shock and presumably death. Then for 46 seconds the []am[   ]reveals nothing else but his still body. Nearly a minute of s[  ]ence. In fact, the length is so absurd that it alm[]st appears as if Navidson forgot to trim this section. After all there is nothing more to [  ] gained from this scene. Holloway is dead. Which is [  ]act[ ] when it happ[]ns.

  The whole thing clocks in under tw[] seconds. Fingers of blackness slash across the lighted wall and consume Holloway. And even if [                   ] loses sight of everything, the tape still records that terrible growl, this time without a doubt, insi[]e the room.

I'm not actually scared by anything anymore, but this was a different story in the past.

 

A few years ago I read the Unbranded Laptop and refused to sleep for days. I think I was about 10 when that happened. More recently, I finally read Sonic.exe to see what the fuss was about, and needed a light to sleep; I believe this was a month ago or so. Previously, though, I read a couple of famous Poke'mon creepypastas, specifically Creepy Black and Lost Silver, and didn't realize they were creepypasta because I wasn't scared for crap, and in fact I thought Creepy Black would be awesome to play for myself.

 

Now instead of being scared, I find logical, realistic explanations for creepypastas, particularly those that say "We couldn't explain this." For example:

 

Syrians. Syrian rebels/terrorists disemboweled a bunch of kids and caught it on video, then hired some cybermercenaries to hack the producer's computers, and the operation finished 24 seconds before the video was launched.

I recall that a couple of Italians set up a radio to intercept Soviet transmissions, and within hours heard communication between spacecraft and ground control that was very disturbing - long before Komarov went up. (For those of you who don't know, Komarov was the first person in space to be publicized; Gagarin was the first to live and so he takes all the credit.) For all we know about the Soviets, they may have shot people at the sun, and this story may in fact be nonfiction.

"Funnymouth" actually kind of freaked me out. 

 

Other than that, "Penpal" is probably the freakiest. Long though. I think it got turned into a book?

Maybe not SCARY, but indeed frightening and has that 'fear' effect on me...

 

Wrong CD

 

You look at the clock again. 7:05. You’ve been working

late, trying to finish a major company project before it’s due

the next morning. You’re almost done, but it feels like it’s

been hours since everyone else went home. You step in the hall

for a quick drink of water, then return to your desk.

 

You need to transfer some files from the disc your boss handed

you. Now where did you put it? You shuffle through your desk

before noticing a CD sitting on a pile of papers that you’re sure

wasn’t there before. Maybe someone else is working late, but

you’re sure you haven’t heard anyone since quitting time. Oh well.

You insert the disc into your PC and bring up its content folder only

to find it empty. Maybe the disc is scratched, you think, because

it’s making an awful screech in the drive. You slide it out of the

computer and look it over, but it seems okay. You set it aside and

look around again and find the right CD, finish the project, and

head home.

 

A few days go by with work as usual, but for some reason you

haven’t thrown away the blank CD from that night. You almost feel…

attached to it. You keep it on your desk, but you haven’t used it

since that night you worked late. Sometimes, when you look at it,

you feel like you can still hear the screeching sound the CD made in

your computer, only it’s slightly distorted. To be honest, it’s

beginning to sound less like a screech and more like…human screams.

Like several voices all belting out with all the power their lungs

can muster. You’ve been working too much, so maybe it’s just the

late hours getting to you.

 

You’ve gotten another project to do, and you’ve wasted too much

time with it. You’re working late again. You are almost done,

but you need to copy some files onto another computer. You check

the clock again. 7:04. Something catches your eye, and you notice

the blank CD again, sitting on your desk where it’s been for almost

a week. Well, it’s blank, right? You need to copy the files, so

you slide the disc into your CD drive. Almost immediately, the

sound starts again, that screaming sound. It’s louder now, you’re

positive it sounds human. It sounds close. Never mind that, you

can find another CD. You open the drive and pull the CD out. But

screaming won’t stop. You quickly turn off your speakers, and when

that doesn’t help, you shut down your monitor and PC. The last

thing you see before your monitor shuts off is the clock in the

bottom right. 7:05. The screaming still won’t stop. You can hear

it, reverberating in your office. It’s getting louder. You glance

around, thinking one of your co-workers must be pulling a prank on

you.

 

For some reason your eyes settle on the clock on your desk. The

red glow from the numbers almost fill your entire cone of vision.

You watch as the time changes. From 7:05 to 6:66. All of a sudden,

the lights go out. As you panick and look about, you realize it’s

much darker than the building should be without power.

 

You look around, and the CD catches your eye again. And it won’t

let go. You feel drawn towards it. The screams are louder than ever,

more persistent, almost beckoning. You feel compelled to approach the

CD, and as you do, it seems to take on a glow of its own, a dark, smoky

red that brightens as you approach it. You can’t stop moving towards

it, and you can feel yourself being lifted up from the floor, and the

disc gets bigger, until the whole of it looks like some twisted gateway.

You realize that that’s exactly what it is, and you can only guess what

lies beyond. The hole in the CD offers glimpses of horrors you can’t

comprehend, flashes of grotesque creatures you’ve never heard of;

dead, glaring eyes; gruesome burial rituals; and much more that you

can’t describe. You are overwhelmed by the images, and you begin to

scream, and the more you see, the more you scream. Your sanity breaks

as you pass through the hole in the CD, and you are surrounded by those

horrors. The only thing you are capable of doing is screaming, as much

as you can.

The next morning, your boss comes into your office early to check

on your project. He doesn’t see you, but he sees a CD sitting on some

papers on your desk. He picks it up, and takes it to his own computer to

check your work, but the CD doesn’t contain any files at all. He’s

going to have a stern talk with you when you come in for the day.

 

He also mumbles to himself to get his disc drive looked at, it’s

making an awful screeching noise. He removes the disc and leans over

to his trash bin, but something keeps him from throwing the CD away.

He sets it by his clock, noting the time as he does. 7:05.

My explanation of Squidward's Suicide said Syrians. Syrian rebels/terrorists disemboweled a bunch of kids and caught it on video, then hired some cybermercenaries to hack the producer's computers, and the operation finished 24 seconds before the video was launched.

 

I still say this seems far fetched. If I have to make up part of your story for you in order for me to believe/enjoy it, you didn't write a good story to begin with.

Squidward's Suicide was written from the point of view of a Spongebob staff member. He wouldn't know how this came about, so it wouldn't be included in the story. (I do get your point though.)

The story of "Circle You, Circle You" ... scared me to no end. Like that thing traumatized me. Now please excuse me, I'm going to turn all the lights on and carry scissors. Thank you.

There's another thing that I need to add to this list. A horrid and malicious shapeshifting monster that came from the planet Zenith. Does Red mean anything to you?
