Same here, him and MrCreepypasta were the 1st ones I heard

Same but I use him to go to sleep can't sleep with scary stories playin

Amen brother, been about 6 or 7 years most every night here 🥲

Same

I honestly have no idea if halfthe stories he reads are even good, I'm out like a light halfway through because his reading is so calming.

he got that main character syndrome

He's 10

@@histguy101even at 10 I could understand information like that

@@couchman-sw6jyeven at 35 i see other adults act like that kid. wont read signs, labels, warnings, etc. Best chance is to explain face to face and hope the other person doesnt get an ego…people all but literally say ”i spontaneously choose i am an expert in this area and will make up my own rules for how this works now” seen a 64 year old man ignore a warning label for a gas can and got gas i his eyes like three years ago. the label was bright orange right next to the cap 🤦‍♂️ hes fine, but tbh seeing that stuff after years of being made fun of for being the guy who reads manuals does kinda make me chuckle, even if he specifically never ever did such a thing.

@@threestans9096my grandpa is one of those people and really stubborn too, wouldn’t listen if you explain it thoroughly and logically to his face. It doesn’t help that he’s getting forgetful. I’m so tired of worrying. But luckily he’s fine, some items are not so fine though

f around find out lil timmy

Yes, most content creators don't last half that time... 11 years sure is impressive...

Reddit > Stephen King

I think the story has potential ya. The reason for the antagonist's behavior was left unanswered. Wonder if there'll be a sequel

​@@kaipos8601Man, going from creepypastas to listening to something like Salem's Lot is funny. They are worlds apart quality. Makes you wonder why you go for creepypastas at all, they're just crappy junk food for the most part

@@optimistic5712 Stephen King vomits out garbage, the gems amongst reddits creepy pastas are far better

@@kaipos8601 which stories have you read or listened to? Edit: I mean of Stephen King's stories

Mr. Creeps also has other channels, I know one is all SCP stories... He was, including this channel, one of the first creepypasta narrators I listened to when I started listening to stuff online.

rules pasta are still my favorite genre, yeah they were getting a little 'over done' there for a while. and as a result there are a lot of bad ones... but there is something about a -good- rules pasta that just hits different. I think i've managed to sus out a pretty decent set of 'rules' for a good rules pasta. 1. less is more... a small handful of impactful rules are better than a large number that don't get focus. 2. no unecessary rules. if a rule gets mentioned, then it needs to feature somewhere in the story. (basic checkovs gun stuff) 3. keep them simple. overly complicated rules with too many steps or exceptions will be difficult for the reader/listener to follow, and they will loose interest. 4. keep them reasonable. similar to the above, but the rules should be something that the protagonist should reasonably be able to accomplish and be provided the tools to do so. 5. have the protagonist at least ATTEMPT to abide by the rules, its just lazy for the protagonist to simply scoff and ignore every single one as an excuse to break them. 6. keep them thematic, the rules should all tie together to a central theme or threat, and there should be some logical connection between the rule, and the consequence. obviously all rules are ment to be broken, but these are some of the things i've noticed most of the really good rules pastas do. (including this one. its a little iffy on #4, but not enough to detract from the story.)

Yeah the rules ones are some of the best! Other one is so good is called the NEW FISH!

I think my first one was a security guard at an abandoned mental hospital

For me it was a combination of Ben Drowned, the pen-pal series and 1999

can you explain it? i’m so confused

​@@limehe444d....whatever force controls the twines has successfully spread to control the town, implying the world itself is next. The narrator doesn't realize he has not "escaped & became a millionaire & come back" but rather was ALLOEWED to escape, because he is controlled by the twines; they are evolving. They are of a finer nature than realized. They have been embedding themselves in the town's culture: normalization. The narrator was chosen to allow the red to spread: he has the acumen to succeed, AND he is ambivalent about the town: he mentions his dad didn't love him much & loved his mom more. The twine queen appearing to be mysterious, vindictive, feminine, mind reading, & controlling may be implying something about his mom, or it may be why he can't see the "root cause", hint hint, of the curse; because it's "too close to home"...literally & figuratively. The narrator has NEVER been free, nor alive, his entire "life". He is the puppet, the pawn, the mannequin he is horrified by....unknowingly. All my opinion. Thoughts anyone?

@@securityscorpion8687 Isn't the narrator Stephen?

I know for a minute it started to sound like the twine took them all but then it sounded like the lady spared them and made them her slaves.

yeah, shouldve called it BEWARE THE SNARE 😂😂

The definition of fuck around and find out

You wouldn't if it was someone you love. You might be able to find the strength to leave them but you wouldn't be able to just let it go.

@Professional ShitPoster if someone is told explicitly not to do something and they end up dying or getting hurt, whose fault it that? In this situation, it is a no brainer that you HAVE to leave that person behind rather they'rea loved one or not; you'll be stuck and die with them. When you fuck around and find out, that's a you problem and not a me problem

@@Nikotov3 Seems like its been answered already, but like if you saw someone you love jump off a building, im sure you wouldn't jump after them to try and catch them. Its like that in my mind. Ofc im gonna feel sad, but they were warned for a reason.

​@@TehAntiSpammerthey don't deserve to die over being stupid, especially if I love them, love is forgiving the stumbles and missteps of the one you love, letting them rot in the consequences of their actions isn't love, especially if it's over something like not following the rules, of course some actions are too awful to forgive but you know what I mean

Lol, nah.

Should try the cerber series narrated by naturestemper he’s pretty high production and the story is AMAZING

@@lilithbean Tried the guy, but his enunciation leaves something to be desired. I had do rewind a few times to understand what he was saying and had to focus more than usual for the rest of the time.

You don't like dark somnium or lighthouse? Those are the absolute best in my opinion if only because they are very particular as to what stories they choose to narrate

MrCreepypasta and Dark Somnium

@@Justadonkey Lighthouse is great. Love the way he does different characters. Very talented as a voice actor.

My goodness, if you only have 10 that scare you, you are just starting..

@@Jerharris90 If it isn’t too much trouble… could you provide some suggestions? I’m new here 😊

@@Jerharris90 Oh there's more than 10. I would put this in my TOP TEN like I said.

there are none, sorry. maybe 1

I agree. I'm setting here myself thinking.. " what just happened?" The story was great until the end but it went south when they found the woman in the woods.

Basically the woman entity allowed them to live as long as the protagonist did whatever the entity wanted.... and it sounds as if the entity wanted the protagonist to provide the town electricity again so that it could "play" with the puppetized townspeople as if they were going about their normal lives. At least, that's what it seems like to me.

This feels like an origin story of the alien town for the werewolf story series voiced by dark somnium

Interesting

My interpretation is that the town accused a woman of being a witch (wich she ended up being) and burned her deep in the forest. But she put a curse in the form of the strings before she died. So then she grew the strings and killed the town in revenge for all these years. She made them suffer which is why she didn't just kill them all instantly. Then, I guess for her own amusement, wanted to show them her creation and since the town is dead and she can't do anything else. She's forcing the protagonist to supply electricity so the town can run while she plays with them.

I feel the opposite. I like it that it had an explanation, even like the cause to a certain extent (as awfully cliche as it is). It is bad because it left more questions than answers. 1. How and why did the witch create the snares? 2. What is her story that lead her to this point? 3. What does she want with the town? To me, leaving things, especially possible lore, unexplained, reeks of lazy writing. It reeks of a writer who cannot put in the effort to fully flesh out and complete his or her world or story. A writer should have an answer, even a sinple one, for any major character, and any story or lore question. They should know what the characters do or cannot know. For me, deliberate mysteries only work in fantastical settings (constructed worlds).

@@MirrenTheDragonKnight My issue isn't that the explanation exists. My issue is that the explanation doesn't pay off. When a writer makes an antagonist sympathetic, they undermine the sympathy the reader has for the victims of the antagonist. And in the story, we're supposed to overlook the fact that this town was consumed by this witch and be happy that the protagonist made friends with her? The stakes mean nothing now. Additionally, this antagonist amounts to the "indian burial ground" trope, which is fine, but it doesn't serve the initial premise. If the antagonist was a sentient ball of string, it would make more sense as to why the enemy utilizes red string and bells as opposed to some dead witch. The premise is undermined by the reveal. It's not that it lacks explanation. It's that the explanation isn't cohesive with the events in the story.

@@shatnuh I didn't feel sympathy for her, but I know others sadly would. I agree on it on undermining the premise. In my opinion, a sentiment ball of string would be a bit stupid. I'm just it wasn't a giant spider or something.

Love your name!
