That story about the horror zine vampire is so great. Definitely one of the best that I've ever heard Let's Read narrate, and your delivery was perfect, LR!

First story is unique. Zines are a lost art and were even underrated for their time. Thanks for keepin us sufficiently spooked Joel. 👹🔥

Coping with some pretty bad health problems right now, and I’m so thankful that your channel exists. I find it really comforting to listen to your voice, thank you for the work that you do.

The first story about the vampire was my favorite story I’ve heard on this channel so far. Very good writing on the authors part as well. Keep up the good work my man!

You’re getting so close to a million subscribers! You totally deserve it and more, you’re the best narrator on KZfaq.

The whole zine story was badass. Makes me wish this was the 80s 90s still

just found your channel the other day and I’ve been hooked 🥺 it’s perfect because as I got older I prefer to listen to podcasts as I clean, get ready, etc., so now I have a bunch of videos to listen to ☺️

Dude, I just want to thank you for all the work you put into these videos. Listening helps my anxiety SO much, bc it keeps my mind on the stories, & your voice is soothing af. You truly have a gift. Hope you, your family, & everyone here have a great night & weekend!

Sweet dreams everyone and, as always thank you Joel

I don't think I made it thru q&a last night 😂 passed out. Thanks for the storiessss

Thank you for my small escape from the world. I’m 9 months pregnant working ridiculous hours while my baby daddy sits at home doing jack. I cook, clean, work, everything. I’m unappreciated and extremely mistreated. Your videos take my mind away from my life for a while. Thank you

bless this fantastic channel for the content it uploads.

I ❤️your stories, I have been listening for a few years now and you just get better and better. You and Lazy Masquerade were the very first narrations that got me interested in listening to horror stories ❤️

You have no idea how much I look forward to listening to you every Friday night. Perfect for my decompressing from the weeks bs.

This guy with his “zines” reminds me of Boyle from Brooklyn 99 lol!

It's no secret that things can get a little spooky after dark, and these stories definitely give us the chills. It's fascinating to hear about real-life experiences that are both eerie and mysterious. While these stories can be entertaining, it's important to remember to approach them with a healthy dose of skepticism and critical thinking. Whether or not we believe in the supernatural, it's always a good idea to take precautions and stay safe in potentially dangerous situations.

Dude, love you, love your channel. I go to sleep with you every night. Thanks for every vid.

That sleeping ritual in story 9 is the sweetest😍

Only just found you listening to other stories and one of yours came up. After hearing one story I subscribed and now been listening for about 3 days thank you

Wow. Home run with that first story! That was fun, really grabbed my attention. 😎👍🏻

Damn, that Michael the Vampire story was great. I'll remember that one for a while.

Glad I found your channel this year and not earlier. Because now it's like there's unlimited content on your channel.

Yesterday was a special day as yesterday was my grandma’s birthday she turned 88 yesterday.

I love to listen to your video’s while I workout thank you for another great video

I have been listening to your videos for like 48 hours. Thank you for all the spooky content to binge!!

Let's read is one of my favorite narrators, I always listen when working on my animated horror stories. Thank you for your amazing job.

I love your channel and could listen to the stories and your voice all day 🖤

Michael, the perfectly average, friendly neighborhood vampire, sobering up from a human blood addiction. Now THAT's an interesting story idea.

They didn't realise the vampire stole his plot from Anne Rice.

Brought a chicken as a "gift"....sorry, nope!!

I can attest to the terror of coming across a black bull or cow on a country road at night....They're nearly invisible, except for their creepy bright red flashy eyes in your headlights...

Thank you so much for these videos! They help me with my anxiety and help me get things done!

I'm getting that timing down haha sooo early woo! Friday night is complete :)

Omg just realized the title could have been named after the SpongeBob meme AT NIGHT 😁🧽

Such a soothing voice! Always fall sound a sleep listening.

Not hearing the birds at the end of each episode make me so sad 😔

Been listening to these stories sm to the point i cant fall asleep without them

Whoa first story! I'm from Louisiana and would have been living in OP's 'zine distribution zone. I would have been way too young to read it at the time, but still cool. It's entirely possible I have some Gen X friends who could have read OP's 'zine back in the day.

The 6th story reminded me of something that happened to my brother and me. We were driving to the store on a wooded country highway in the middle of the night. We both saw what looked like a person with a bunch of luggage standing on the side of the road. As we got closer we couldn’t make it out any better and I swear it looked like a pile of meat. On our way back home we drove past the area slowly to get a better look and there wasn’t anything there.

"I didn't want my dad to die, bc if he died, who would keep me from dying?"

I just saw this new upload from let's read! Thank you, Joel.

I love the way Joel says "incredibly stupid".

Some good stories here but also a bunch of them that when they finished had me going “That’s your story? That’s it? Seriously?”

Hi Joel can’t wait to listen let’s Read Rocks 😎

Obey the walrus.

I have a slight twist on the doorbell story. A doorbell ringing at 2am with no one in sight is a little creepy, but it's creepier when you have no doorbell on your house at all and there's no one out for miles. We live in a log cabin on 18 acres of woodland. We're 10mi from the nearest town, which only has 400 inhabitants. In the sticks would be an understatement. We only know 2 or 3 people here, and they're just acquaintances, not friends who know us well enough to visit. Randomly, we'll hear a doorbell that sounds like it's off in the distance. The first time, my husband thought it was just my anxiety because it was late at night, and he was away for work. Today, we were in the kitchen talking, and he heard it too. We don't even have a doorbell, and the closest house is so far that even their rooster sounds muffled and far off, so it'd be impossible to hear someone else's doorbell.

Ramadan is soon habibi

You should definitely do more Adirondacks stories in the future. Those were so good and creepy. And messed up.

The 'zine story is one of the best on the channel in a good while.

Story 2, Japanese tango knife I believe is the sword he’s referring to

The poor chicken in the first story :(

YESSSSSS

Awesome vid Joel :)

We use to call them rags and/or mags .

I love that the first story takes place in Louisiana!!!

I just found you again after a couple of years. I've missed you! ❤️‍🔥

I’m spooked already

I’d smoke out and zone out and meditate, like the person from story 3, back in the day too lol. Nowadays, I’ll still kinda do that, except with a beer on the weekends, listening to Let’s Read and chillin on my back porch, while my wife and kids sleep 😴

You are still my favorite youtuber. Keep being awesome man

Dude I relate so much to story #5 that is so insane… literally In 2015 my house burned down bc our water heater had a shortage bc we lived in a very old trailer. My Guinea pig died and my ball python died. And my dad was gone at work. It was very cold that day and I wasn’t able to grab a thing. I literally had no clothes on at the time the fire started. I had just gotten out the shower and going to get dressed. I walked into my room and the fire started in my closet. That’s where the water heater was. I lost everything I owned besides a garbage bag of a few of my belongings that the firefighters saved. Also I was 11 or 12 when this happened so it really messed me up.

Just in time for work 💕

Been waiting for that Friday video

Joel The Juggernaut of Jitter!!!! Let's Read ! The Leonidas Of Lore! The Sultan Of Scare!

These videos have such a wide range of being scary and not scary. This video specifically and all these videos, some stories are really insane or tragic and im like holy crap while others are like “I saw a dude outside and he looked weird but didn’t actually do anything, the end” or just something lame like that that’s literally happened to me. Dope channel though.

Great video. Thanks again let’s read ❤

First guy has watched "Interview with the Vampire " one too many times lol

24:27 probably a homeless person been crashing in the garage at night since it was mid open, noticed you go in and left 🤷🏼‍♀️

Love you 🎉😅😅 thanks for the entertainment

Thank you!!!

❤

Is the first story somehow tied with the movie Interview with a Vampire? If so dude that's just the vibe I got from it.

Ah zines... Kickstarted my love of the paranormal!

Damn it's bed time yall

how do you go get your phone but not your reptile babies?! omg 💔

The first story was great

Your voice is soooooo good ❤

You are the best❤

Luv joel great stories😘

21:22 -probably a Tantō.

This reminds me of Interview with the Vampire. I can still see Brad Pitt's character in the tunnels eating rats LOL

Would have definitely been a regular Head Trauma enthusiast if I was alive at the time.

i wonder why this vampire man was so upset at the question

Love you KZfaqJoel!💙💗💙

♡♡♡♡♡

Rip reptiles 🦎🐍🐢💚😭💔

Wakizashi or "Tanto" is the smaller sword a samurai would use as backup or to commit harakiri or seppuku with.

love u bestie

Juggalo scary stories

Sick man with that chicken . .!

16:31

The summer of 1984, huh? When I graduated from high school. I graduated June 11, 1984 before some of you were born. 😂😂

Mister REEEED MISTER GRRR (liar liar reference for you youngins lol) thank you for your videos. getting me through some rough times right now dealing with my bf feeling the pull of the dragon and fighting me like hell. thank you for giving me some semblance of peace

Alcoholics don't walk away from bars, they stagger away from 'em.

Thanks! I wish more people would tip you!! You put a lot into delivering these stories. You have a great and easy to listen to voice. Thank you !!

The problem with so many of these creepypasta writers is that they make me feel like a twelve year old wrote them. For example, you shouldn't have to constantly say something was scary. Just make it scary. I don't need you tell me what emotions to feel.

❤❤❤❤

"you're my friend now, we're having soft tacos later"

First one give me louis de pointe du lac vibes

I hate when I don't get a notification that you posted a new video 😒
