Okay, it’s near my favorite time of the year and I’m seriously jonesing for some creepy material. There have been many threads in the past that have collected creepy material and I hope that this one becomes a repository for all things creepy. I’ve been collecting some of the material below from prior threads and elsewhere…
That said, here’s my list of creepy stuff. Please add your own stories or links!
There was one webpage that I’ve been trying to find, it featured a guy who created a chat program. One day someone was interacting with it, thinking no one would read the chat logs, and confessed to being hundreds of years old (sort of like the man from earth). Anyone know what site it was (if it still exists)?
I came here this morning just for this. Wonder if we can get a whole sections started again this year? I’m beginning to think I’ve seen the entire internet.
I knew exactly what this was going to be. I love that one, though I’m rarely actually able to finish it. (The Korean-language original did better on the scary parts, actually, but the translation at least saves it from ‘wtf’?)
I love creepypasta! Before I knew what it was (and 4chan was not even a single line of code on moot’s computer) I used to browse Snopes’ Horror section.
I’ve never worked up the patience to go through all of the SCP Foundation - I admit, I like my creepypasta to have a quick payoff. I recently got through the Penpal series on /r/nosleepand loved it so much.
I don’t do visual creepy stuff though, that’s too much. I went through the Korean comic with no sound and slooooooow scrolling and that was enough for me!
Same here. I still browse Snope’s horror section. The problem with searching for good creepypasta on 4chan is you have to deal with 4chan.
I hear you - I think I went through almost all of the holder’s series…oddly enough, but not the SCP Foundation yet.
Penpal was good - I’m thinking about getting the book. I’d like to support the author.
I like creepy visuals as long as they aren’t screamers. To me that just seems cheap and once you’ve seen it, there’s not much more to it. A 5 second creep and that’s it. Whereas something like the Hands That Resist him is a bit more interesting.
I read that the artist did a sequel, but I couldn’t find it on his site.
Can someone link to this penpal business? Sounds intriguing.
SCP is hit-or-miss, IMO. It’s one of those inside jokes that gets creepier (or funnier for some of them) the more you read. There’s one, I can’t find it now, that involves some sort of end-of-the-world scenario that always gives me the shivers.
Sometimes I feel like an old druggie with this stuff. I’m always looking for another hit, but it’s been a long, long time since I’ve found anything that really does it for me. I’m hoping for good stuff in a couple weeks when Sinister comes out!
I like this thread. I finished reading the Penpals series, and I want to buy the kindle book, but it says it’s not available in the Asia-pacific. Gotta ask them about that.
Well, the third is Ramsey Campbell’s “The Pattern.”
Not sure the other two. I always list these three as my favorites, but then got to doubting myself and thought surely there must be two I like better. I just can’t think of them!
In order to not just post to subscribe and peruse all those links (seriously, that’s quite a collection!) later on, I think one thing you missed out is EverymanHYBRID, which is kinda in the Marble Hornets-vein (both are also related to the whole ‘Slenderman’-thing, I believe).
