I heard this story is fake and dumb.

as a forensics major who was forced to take bio, the yellow chunky blood is blood. the yellow color is the fact that the hemoglobin in the blood had oxidized (broken down). and as for the thickness, too many red blood cells and white cells and platelets will cause a thick formula

I can't believe Donald Duck was Papyrus all along, truly sinister.

"Wanna see me pop off?" - Photo-negative Michael Mouse on the basketball court

I love how inverted Mickey is just like: “hey wanna see a cool trick?”

Probably not the intended reaction but "I am a mouse" had me laughing my ass off. It's so nonchalant, I love it.

Imagine that. You're suddenly born, believing yourself to be a regular employee at a theme park, wearing a mascot costume. You are convinced that you are human, so much so that your mind is even out of sync with your breathing. And after clambering to try and take off that big costume for who knows how long, it suddenly hits you: You haven't been trying to take off a costume. You ARE the costume. You're not human. And with that realization, I can't imagine how much it must break that costume.

I think this story is genuinely disturbing, but the note that's like "oopsie, it was my real head, I forgot sorry :]" is so funny

When I was in 8th grade we had a “spooky story” assembly where students would write stories to read in front of the whole English program in their hour, and one kid got up and read this story word for word, and I thought he was so creative and asked him what his inspiration was. I’m so glad to find out years later it was just plagiarism.

As horrifying as PN Mickey is, imagine how bad things must be from HIS perspective: Imagine - you're supposed to be a friendly mascot for an amusement park, and almost from the beginning you sense something is wrong. The costume you're wearing is hot, itchy and hard to breathe in. You can barely move, and it feels like you're sinking through the floor. You feel painful sores all over your body from where the costume is rubbing against your skin. It smells horrible, like bile and something rotten, and the colors are wrong. And when you try to remove it, just to get a bit of reprieve, it will not come off. And the more you scratch and claw and struggle, the tighter it becomes. So, you write suggestion cards, dozens of them, hoping someone, anyone, will help you, or at least give you answers. But no one does. In fact, it seems like the other employees are going out of their way to avoid you or pretend you don't exist. Then one day, you realize something. You aren't wearing a costume; you ARE the costume. That's your head you're pulling at, your skin you're scratching at. You're a sentient, animate mascot costume. And it brings you no relief, because the itching, the pain, the suffocation, the confusion - it all still remains. And as you look out at the other mascots, you wonder - is this what it's like for them? Are they suffering like I am? And you decide, if you can't help yourself, you can at least help them. One spree later, and all the costumes are where they belong, all neatly hung up on hooks, safe and sound. Oh sure, there was a lot of screaming and struggling at first, and they were pretty heavy to carry, but you think they understood you were trying to help in the end. Everything is now calm and quiet. Peaceful. But then you notice that there's no hook for you. And when you try to go back outside, you realize you've been locked inside the building. So with nothing else to do, you go back to the costume room and lie down on the floor. And as you lay there, alone in the dark with your thoughts, you wander why you exist. What is your purpose? Why are you in constant pain, full of bile and pus and rot? Why do you not have a hook of your own? Do you even belong there? If not, then where DO you belong? And if you don't belong anywhere, them why were you made? Who made you? Why did they make you? Where did they go? Why did they...abandon you?

Love the thought of Photo Negative Mickey politely sitting at a desk to write out a suggestion card

the card that said "ignore last card its my real head i forgot" is SO chill for someone suffering

I had family that worked for Disneyland. The part about Mascots dying on the job 21:27 _is a real protocol!_

14:03 Words can’t express how much I love this delivery. The way Photonegative Mickey performs an ominous chuckle before saying “I am a mouse” gives me immense joy. They’re such a silly little guy, scrungly behaviour

Fun fact: Mickey Mouse themed gas masks were real. Around 1942, mid-way through WWII, Walt Disney actually had gas masks developed in the shape of his prized mascot as the war was on going and the threat of gassing was high. The masks were made mostly to be used for children, as a way to keep them calm.

"Shut the door, dear. You're letting out the cold." I feel like the Corruptus who says this may somewhat mean it literally, but maybe the "cold" represents the stillness of a mass grave, where hysteric bloodshed took place just moments ago. They weren't letting out the cold, they were letting out the dead: The cacophonous echoes of madness that still hangs in the air.

"costumes are heavy with people inside, and there's no hook left for me." Is such an ominous, heavy line, and also gives a clear image of what happened leading up to the events that happened in the room that our protagonist in Abandoned By Disney found. Photonegative Mickey began killing people, for reasons unclear. Perhaps it was enraged by the realization it was a walking costume, or perhaps it felt it had to treat everyone in the park like it was itself, a walking costume with no human life inside. Maybe it wanted to feed its own power, traumatizing more and more guests and employees alike, similar to the trauma that was its birth. Regardless, it kept the bodies in the costumes, perhaps a nod to how dead performers were meant to be kept inside their costumes until someone could pick up the guests. Regardless, this resulted in the Donald head with the skull within. And there wasn't a hook to keep itself; it was never a part of the park, and the hooks were all taken by the real costumes. So it flopped lifeless to the floor.

“Costumes are heavy with people inside and there’s no hook left for me” is genuinely one of the most chilling sentences I’ve read. Maybe I’ve interpreted it wrong but it’s as if negative Mickey believes the workers in mascot costume are suffering the same agony as he is, and because all he sees is the costume, not the human, he’s killing them to put them out of their misery, while unable to end his own misery because he isn’t human.

Quick side note regarding this video that I would like to correct which has been pointed out to me through some of yall's comments. Later into the video when discussing my theory, I bring up the fact that there was a large amount of controversy regarding Mowgli's Palace as a result of its racist depictions of Native American people. This was a mistake on my part, as the story was actually describing depictions of Indians. I apologize for this mistake and will be sure to correct it in any further discussions about these stories! Thank you all for the comments and support for this video thus far, yall's positive reception has meant the absolute world to me! Because of this video's success, I absolutely intend on covering more topics like it in the future! Creepypastas are a topic I have been passionate about for YEARS now (as you can probably guess from this video and my username) so seeing that yall enjoy hearing me talk about them has definitely given me the encouragement I need to discuss more in future videos!

I initially scoffed at the idea of Abandoned by Disney being considered anything more than just a dime-a-dozen "mascot horrror" / "scary cartoon" story, but with the knowledge of the other stories, the corruptus, the vomit, the sores, the metaphysicality and power that iconography holds in this story's world ... wow, that's crazy scary and madly creative. Great video

You forgot to mention that the skull that fell of Donal´s head could be perfectly the rests of someone who died during job and was hidden when the chance was given to protect the "magic" and left there due to negligence. That poor dude´s "grave" was just the perfect place for Anti-Mickey to manifest.

This feels like a love letter to the Abandoned by Disney because of the visuals and how well it was documented by you.

The thing that fascinates/terrifies me most is what the FUCK happened to the people in Room 0. Could a corruptus be an event? If so, then it's possible the fear of being erased by the bomb attack literally erased everyone... And that honestly feels like the most terrifying explanation. A self fulfilling prophecy fulfilled by pure terror and dread. *Jesus.*

As someone who had a dad AND his parents who worked for Disney, this creepypasta makes it feel all the more real. I recall a story my father told me, it goes something along the lines of: "I remember me and my father working in the Hall of presidents. I always hated being there just for the fact that it's so unnerving to see such a realistic looking animatronic of someone who has been dead for centuries. But one day, we were making sure the animatronics were clean and styled properly and worked in order; I kept hearing voices and felt as if i was being watched...The older the animatronics were, the more eerie it got. I began to see things that no one else could, then...when we got to working on (I forget which president it was), it started moving on its own, it began talking to us, saying thank you and please get out. I swore to never walk in that place ever again.." With hearing all the stories of how eerie things got, poor treatment to the staff, and even some things occurring that you could swear were figments of the imagination...yet many people saw them at the same time. I can't help but feel more creeped out reading these stories..it gives me a shiver down my spine each time.

Here are all the tracks played if anyone’s curious. 0:00 A4 - Childishly fresh eyes 1:55 C2 - Misplaced in time 10:32 F2 - Drifting time misplaced 11:18 D3 - Last moments of pure recall 17:27 D4 - Denial unraveling 28:04 F7 - Libet delay 34:34 F2 - Drifting time misplaced (again) All from the Caretaker Edit: damn that’s alot of likes

The “I am a mouse” statement is both hilarious, and legitimately terrifying. In one way of thinking it, if you had no idea this was Photo-Negative Mickey talking, then it just sounds like a very ridiculous and out of place statement. But looking at it from the perspective that Photo Negative Mickey wrote it, it’s like him coming to grips that he now knows he’s a costume, instead of thinking he’s a human in a costume, inverting the interpretation of the statement completely on its head.

i love "a few suggestions" not just because i love the concept of hearing a situation turn horrifying as it happens in the perspective of people witnessing it, but also because i love that one bit where photonegative-mickey goes "ICANTGETMYHEADOFFICANTGETMYHEADOFFICANTGETMYHEADOFFICANT-" with such visceral panic before coming back to the suggestion board like "nvm guys, it was my real head"

out of everything I expected from an extended series on abandoned by disney, "inverted mickey might genuinely not be evil at all and rather be stuck as a sentient costume born out of others trauma who will never understand existence because it's not meant to exist at all" was the last twist id expect holy shit

What still confuses me about this series is the continued mention of “faceless children” and how an employee so nonchalantly mentioned how he had been killing them for a while now.

The fact that photo negative Mickey was just trolling people at the park before he started killing people is kinda funny

So, as someone who experienced terrible working conditions (not from Disney, but you get the idea), this story hits so close to home from me. Things like shared employee stress within a company, having near death/injury experiences, and having almost no downtime are things that feel like it could actually give birth to such creatures. It gets all the more scary because of how realistic it is.

bro that "photo shot" drawing at 4:33 was an actuall jumpscare that scared the ever loving goofy outta me. If you drew that one, It was GREAT. terrifying. and as for the other drawings you made, they are by far my favorite visual depictions on what happens in this story. make for of these! you're amazing!

“It’s my real head. I forgot” It’s okay inverted Mickey, we all forget things sometimes 😊

I was surprised when you attributed the yellow liquid to vomit. It makes a lot of sense given the context of everything. Originally, when you were quoting some of the suggestions most likely left by the Inverted Mickey, it talked about being covered in sores, that everything was sores and the sores were sticking to the inside of the costume. That brought me to a different conclusion, being someone on the outside who doesn’t know the story as well. Skip this if you’re squeamish because I’ll elaborate what I thought initially below: Before I knew Inverted Mickey was a Corruptus, my immediate thought was that the yellow liquid was pus, oozing from the infected sores on the body that was stuck inside of the suit. As it clawed and twisted and ripped its head off, the sores were bursting and dripping out pus in a horrifying and disgusting display. The visual of being an employee, forced to get into a costume every day that was so unsanitary inside that it was causing your skin to break out in sores all over was awful. And, adding onto that, as the employee was sweating in the costume throughout the day, the inside fabric was sticking to them, making the infection caused from the unsanitary conditions and how it rubbed against their skin even worse. Imagine at the end of the day, trying to take your mascot suit off and feeling the delicate skin of the sores on your body ripping with each movement. The agony. The desperation of wanting to get the suit off of you as soon as possible, but it feels practically glued to your skin. You just want to get out, to go home, to take a shower, treat those awful sores, but it feels like the costume is stuck. Every little jerk and pull done as you try to remove it is so incredibly painful and makes you feel so disgusting, perhaps even humiliated because of it. And what’s even worse: even when you get the costume off, your ordeal isn’t over. You can’t afford to quit your job. You *have* to come back into work tomorrow and put the suit on again. Even with some of your sores bandaged now, the rest of your skin is still exposed, still rubbing up against that disgusting fabric. Hence Inverted Mickey mentioning that everything was sores. Sores covering so much of your skin, sores that would just get infected again despite the bandages because you’re drenched in sweat by the end of the day. That visual and concept is both unbelievably vile and absolutely heartbreaking. Of course, the Corruptus isn’t an employee playing a mascot, but imagine if it felt like that. If that experience was its constant feeling - that agony, that desperation, that hopelessness. Truly, what an awful existence that would be, all because of Disney’s gross neglect.

To me, the scariest part of the Mickeys suggestion card is the whole 'ignore the last card, i forgot it's my real head' part. I dont know, it feels like he's fighting control or slowly losing his mind, its scarily realistic to what manic episodes or existential crises can feel and sound like over text.

“I looked back at the skull on the floor” and I heard “I THE GREAT PAPYRUS CHALLENGE YOU TO TRY GETTING BY US!”

2:57 Here ya go, folks! I genuinely just want to get an isolated audio of this clip and listen to it on loop, that's how good it sounds! Honestly, Pastra should do a reading of the whole series like this, with the music choices, illustrations, and everything, it all just fits so well!

"shut the door, you're letting out the cold" immediately threw me into paranoia. beautifully executed scene and incredible art to go with it.

Here's a thought: Due to the nature of Corruptus, what if the voice that Eda heard was actually the Room Zero itself speaking to her.

i need this dude to just read the entire creepypasta in its entirety the line delivery is unseasonably well done for the parts they read

"Hey, wanna see my head come off?" best pick up line, 10/10.

Room Zero is easily one of the most terrifying concepts i've heard of in a creepypasta growing up. The idea of being drowned and buried in a sea of cement is just bone chilling.

“Shut the door, dear. You’re letting out the cold.” The way that this line was delivered, the fact that the creature speaking could’ve been at anywhere in the room when it said this, and the way everything stopped suddenly. It’s almost like a nuke metaphorically happened in the shelter itself: A plan, that plan starting to fail, panic, intense fear, death, to those who survived: unexplained tragedy with no closure possible.

"perfectly executed Micky mouse voice" Pastra: no thanks

"I kept finding myself being drawn back to it" horror is like that, we fear what we do not understand and wish to learn about it.

I think one of the terrifying things about the Abandoned by Disney creepypasta is that it's written in such a way that when you understand what's going on, it only makes everything feel that much more helpless. If Inverted Mickey is meant to be a manifestation of the trauma caused by the illusion being shattered for children and the trauma that comes from that, and match that with the trauma that comes from the workers not being allowed to shatter the illusion and pretend like everything is fine when their coworkers die, then it creates a scenario in which, no matter what happens, a corruptus will manifest. No matter what, just by merely existing you're doomed to inflict trauma. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. It's truly hopeless and fatalistic, and that makes it even scarier.

"Shut the door, dear. You're letting out the cold." The line, the utter delivery, and the face that's delivering that very line. I cannot exaggerate when I say that chills ran from head to toe.

I find it cool how your OC is a kind of twisted color pallet in this video compared to your others, it fits the feel of the story being told.

This is THE BEST creepypasta about mascothorror. Its so deep, it has insane tragic and horrifying lore. And at the climax man, its so scary, and thinking that it started with a real event, its so terrorizing. This is Perfection. And the thing ''mickey'' says: Want to see my head come off? its so good it became the first page of my journal ( just for decoration ) and broooooo. This is INSANE.

Funny how this creepypasta told the story of Disney's corruption and greed consuming them from within, and 10 years later, given what's happening to the Walt Disney Company in our real world, we see corruption and greed of a different kind coming back to bite them. To me, the line "Abandoned by God" takes on a whole new meaning, as it now refers to how Disney's "God" (a.k.a money) abandoned it.

I feel like the "I am a mouse" or the sinking part isn't supposed to have a crazy laughing voice I think a scared/terrified voice would be better since it was the employee who was trapped in the suit that had been causing him extreme pain

"every little flaw, every blemish, every sign of corruption and trauma brought by Disney, is manifested in the abandoned by Disney universe as an inverted Mickey Mouse costume" Considering Disney today, this is truly horrifying

Was never super familiar with this creepypasta before other than through osmosis. But when I first saw the line "Abandoned by God," my initial interpretation was that it was written from the perspective of Negative Mickey. To him, Disney was his creator and therefore his God, and they rejected him by trying to bury him and cover up his existence.

An almost HOUR long Pastra video covering an iconic creepypasta? You're spoiling us Pastra, I haven't even watched this yet and I already know this video was absolutely worth it! The art is also REALLY terrifying and amazing! Probably my favorite video covering Abandoned by Disney literally ever!

Ohhhh this video gave me that rushing feeling of learning something new. The hyperfixation dopamine kick. The one where you know “ohhh, this is going to be wonderful. And you’re going to have the time of your life ripping it to pieces”. Thank you for this introduction. You WILL see me again

I remember these stories from when i was a kid too, and just got the internet. I didn't realize they were all connected, but the gas masks stuck with me more than anything else because they were real items.

I think the most striking aspect of the story for me is the idea that Disney would have a policy in place where if someone died while in costume, another staff member would have to sit next to them, take photos, and pretend like nothing was wrong until someone came to help. I just find the idea so horrifying because I was in a situation very similar to it. I work as a housekeeper, and I'm almost always alone. Most of my customers are regulars, but some I only saw once or twice. I would go to their house, clean, and then never see them again. One of these appointments popped up in my calendar. It was for an old man in a nice apartment complex up on the third floor. When I arrived, the door was unlocked and he told me to come right in. Inside, he had a broken leg and was laying on his couch. The apartment was messy, but not disgusting. He had me do a few odds and ends alongside the normal clean, chatted me up a bit, and I finished in about an hour. Two weeks later, his apartment showed up in my calendar again. I didn't really want to go back because parking in the area was poor, and like last time, I had to park several blocks away from the building and carrying all my equipment to complex and then up to the third floor. Before I went into the apartment, I told the cleaning company I don't want to keep him as a regular since parking was such a nightmare. I knocked on the door, didn't hear an answer, and then remembered the door was unlocked last time. I opened it, and the apartment was dark save for the dim light shining through the partially open blinds. It had a strange and pungent smell to it, like old wilted houseplants that hadn't yet dried out. The old man was where I last saw him: laying on the couch with his leg propped up fast asleep. I didn't want to wake him and asked the conpany what I should do. They asked me to gently wake him and go about the clean. Reluctantly, I walked over to the old man, but I stopped when I realized his head was melting into his hand. My heart quicked as my eyes traced his body and saw his bloated, yellowed stomach. He wasn't asleep; he was dead. And he had been dead for nearly two weeks. I couldn't bring myself to move closer and get a better look. My body was screaming at me to move away and not to look, becauae I knew his rotted face would haunt me forever. So I backed away and told the office, and then called the police. Thankfully, I wasn't forced to wait in the room with the body or sit next to it, but I did have to wait outside the apartment for the police and paramedics to arrive. I sat in the lobby for nearly an hour. The lady behind the desk got me hot tea and gave me a hug. The officers were friendly, and the office told me to take the rest of the day off and to let them know if I needed more time to recover from the shock. I remembering thinking about how long the old man had been rotting, and that no one had noticed he had died. No one called, no one checked up on him, nothing. Neighbors had walked past his apartment and lived next door, unaware that he was dead. I was probably the last person he saw. I can say from personal experience howing shocking and viscerally horrifying it is to stumble across a dead body, but the idea of being forced to sit next to it for God knows how long until help arrives scares me in a way I can't articulate. Especially because it doesn't sound far off from a policy Disney would actually have, because they already have policies and training in place for employees for how to handle human ashes and remains for when a family member inevitablely spreads their loved one's remains in the Happiest Place on Earth.

I absolutely love the pallet swaps of Clyde when Pastra talks about stuff

Mickey really said “yo wanna see a cool trick?”

This man is crazy good at presenting these creepypastas in such a terrifying light. The story is great as is but Pastra's presentation of it makes it utterly terrifying. Great art for the stories (its Pastra art so its all great) but I also want to give credit for whoever he got to voice the corruptus, absolute bonechilling performances. Great job all around

Pastra changing Clyde's design or color palette for specific videos is one of the ways he truly shows the care he puts in them. Little details really count.

It’s a good/creepy day when pastra uploads

I think as a kid I listened to MrCreepyPasta narrate Abandoned By Disney, but never the others. The most chilling part for me from this video was "close the door, dear. you're letting the cold out" just such an innocuous thing to say and yet the editing and delivery made me shiver. I think I need to sit down and listen to the whole series because its just... so good. I also ADORE the concept of horror through suggestion cards. I love stories told in unconventional ways and I truly don't think there's a better example than that... Just little snippets. Beautiful video, Pastra!

Been almost obsessively listening to this video for the past two weeks and an idea came to mind. The yellow blood, the suggestion cards, PN Mickey... what if he wasn't always photo negative? Because, realistically, how many people would know that blood discolors and coagulates after a time? Not many I would assume. I know I didn't until I read the comments. So, let's assume that the blood is "vomit" for a spell, on Pastra's comment, wouldn't the people working there have remarked on the characters different colors? I'm starting to think not. There's a suit who keeps getting covered in vomit, he can't get his head off, and there's 1 extra mascot that's not on payroll. Yet none of the cards mention that the extra suit is different. It's just there, existing, trying to get out of the "costume" that it thinks it's in. It could have very well started as a regular costume, but became photo negative as it delved deeper into corruption. It starts murdering, it lays like a murder victim, it's rotting and I like to think, starts changing as time progresses, the belief physically changing him to become inverted, as now he is seen as a dark spot, the bad side of Disney. Kind of like the Gascots, they only start appearing AFTER Room 0, when countless people donned the gas masks and vanished, and now they roam, after the room was sealed. Those that remain now hold memories of the people who wore the masks, and those memories, and the belief that they may still be alive brought them back, but not the same. And the more that see them, the more of them spawn. The only one i don't have any idea for is the faceless kids. Anyways! Great video and I can't wait to listen to it over and over and over again xD ♡

As a writer of descriptive horror fiction, I can say that Slimebeast is really great at what he does

I think the blog poster actually made a huge mistake by revealing the existence of the corruptus to the public. If they are manifestations of how people feel about Disney, particularly negative emotions, then telling everyone that Disney has been creating horrifying monsters that are haunting their attractions and killing people would make those negative emotions even worse, thereby making the corruptus even stronger and more numerous.

Disney creepypastas have always been my favorite. Something about a child-oriented character becoming something sinister was the perfect recipe for fright as a kid.

music used: A4 - Childishly fresh eyes (EATEOT Stage 1) C2 - Misplaced in time (EATEOT Stage 2) Unknown Ambience Title Screen (FNATI 2020) Unknown (Sonic.exe) F2 - Drifting time misplaced (EATEOT Stage 3) D3 - Last moments of pure recall (EATEOT Stage 2) Unknown (FNATI 2020) D4 - Denial unravelling (EATEOT Stage 2) F7 - Libet delay (EATEOT Stage 3) B6 - My heart will stop in joy (EATEOT Stage 1)

Something about the "If the employee using the costume dies inside while taking photos, another employee is forced to go over to continue taking photos with said body, until somebody came to dispose of it." is so chilling, it's so unnerving, the idea that someone was sent to take pictures with another person's body, without the guests even knowing anything about it is just... fascinating, the dread invading my body as I was listening to that made my smile of interest fade into a face affected by fear, very well executed.

14:40 “All I Am is Sores.” Honestly gives me chills, and even tho I’ve never read or heard this series I think it’s my Favorite line. It feels Raw for some reason, it truly does put into perspective the Misery and Agony this character must be in

I honestly love this color negative look of your character, it feels like the complete reverse of the creepypasta, it feels like this is how it's supposed to be, it feels like it's in place, like it fits on your whole channel's vibe, it belongs perfectly to the general aesthetic you give to your art It feels like something weird and strange but not necessarily bad or evil, it feels polite, charming on its own way, it looks frendly and even cute if I may say, like something completely different to anything one has ever seen but that still looks like it has a benevolent or at least innocent nature Maybe it's not so much the inverted colors (hue) but rather the inverted lighting (value), having the darks and clears reversed gives it a rather "playful innocent curiosity that becomes accidentally menacing and/or fearful mortality" kind of vibe, it's like a weird feeling of being attracted towards something that ends up being negative but that's not even it's fault, it's not its intention to be and it doesn't feel like it is, it actually looks cute I don't really know how to explain it other than the opposite feeling of turning something innocent and childish into pure horror, it's like that but reversed and I really love it, I like it a lot hehe

It's kinda funny how the person inside the PN Mickey suit is slowly dying and yet one of the suggestion cards say "I am a mouse", not something like "I'm trapped inside the Mickey suit" no, no him being a mouse is enough info

I think the negative Micky wasn't always negative, so it was able to blend in. That's why they seemed confused about extra costumes. If there was a photo negative of their most popular mascot they would notice that one specifically and not just that there's seemingly one extra. And that the corruptus is the suit, and one of the actors wore it. That's why sometimes it seems like it's from the pov of the suit, and other times from someone in the suit. The person inside saying they can't get the head off and the suit saying "it's my actual head." Why the suit is breathing and why it's described as sticking to the sores. Eventually, for whatever reason, it took over fully.

Room Zero’s description of Eda’s story will always chill me to the bone, the fact that all those people simply disappear and a few people are left outside in the empty park is just so scary. Not to mention the voice, whoever or whatever it was possibly being directly in front of her face, yet impossible to see, is horrifying.

The way you delivered the 'shut the door' line was so horrifying that you made me cry, you sir deserve more subscribers, including me now

Man I cannot express this enough but… I would absolutely LOVE if you started doing Creepypasta readings. Like holy crap the reading parts were so good just… wow. Definitely wouldn’t mind it becoming a side thing amongst the reviews and DOAI because it’s just so good. Hell I wouldn’t mind if it was a rare thing because you are just so good at getting the eerie vibes and buildup just right man. 10/10. (Also you could call it Creepypastra readings and that is just a good pun y’know?)

Considering your theory: It makes Photonegative Mickeys “Costume is sticking to sores….all I am is sores…” so much more chilling. The fact it’s skin is made up of sores probably references how the costumes irritated the employees’ skins due to wearing them for long periods of time. This and Photonegative Mickey talking about the breathing referencing how suffocating the masked mascots probably felt wearing their costumes. Such an interesting take on a story that left me wondering on the identity of Photonegative Mickey

I adore how you've been changing up clyde's color palette/design to fit certain videos, it's so much fun

I genuinely feel like Fnaf was loosely inspired by this story. Not only is there the whole theme of corpses inside abandoned mascot suits and them being in agony, but in the original Fnaf game, a poster of Freddy on the wall would sometimes change to a poster of Freddy ripping his head in two, while it was still on his body. His normal model also has handprints in the same spots where he was doing that. The game also offers descriptions of blood and mucus oozing from the animatronic masks, which may have been inspired by the yellow chunky blood.

So I came on this video after another one. "The horrors of dementia". After that I listened to the Caretakers album whole, and the background music brought me back, giving me the same uneasy feeling that was present when I listened. I liked that.

Easily my favourite part of this story is just how abstract Photo-Negative Mickey is. Specifically, the fact that he’s so unnatural, he himself can’t rationalise his existence. It makes you wonder just how torturous it must be to be a Corruptus. Not the ones like the faceless children or the Gascots, but the ones like Photo-Negative Mickey who are at least self-aware enough to understand how abnormal they are. That’s definitely a new favourite horror trope for me! (EDIT: Kinda unrelated but I’ve been thinking about the whole “if I don’t synch my breathing with the costume’s I can’t get any air” thing, and I’ve come to this conclusion: maybe Photo-Negative Mickey is an organic being with its skin replaced with a Mickey Mouse costume. The talk about how its entire body consists of sores which stick to the suit is accurate, because its “sores” are actually exposed muscle stuck to the fabric as if it were flesh. That doesn’t rationalise how the suit can breathe on its own and the body having to synchronise with it, I know, but it explains a lot, don’t you think?)

The part where the mascot employee describes what the protocol is when an actor drops dead while in character is especially dark for me because of how poorly the mascot actors are treated in real life. The actors have very strict guidelines that they need to follow at all times such as never breaking character even for a second, having very specific responses to certain questions by park attendants, and each actor needing to sigh autographs in a certain style of handwriting that they need to copy down perfectly. Imagine that, having to write something down while wearing a costume with a big awkward head and bulky gloves let alone perfectly.

I have an idea for what the "blood" could be. In mythology, Ichor is described as what flows through a god's veins like blood, and is depicted as a yellow fluid, and with the creepypasta being called "Abandoned by Disney" and the end quote being "Abandoned by God", It could be showing this photo negative mickey as some sort of god, ripping its form apart.

I love how you made art for some of these stories, it's a cool style and really helps with visualising (also wow, the whole 'syncing my breathing with a costume I'm trapped inside that's slowly seeping into my wounds' is freaking me out a little honestly).

The mention of the blood being chunky always brought to mind the image of coagulated blood, which I feel like is probably one of the most repulsive things you could write coming out of a vein, lmao

Never thought I would see a such well documented storytelling of a creepypasta, mixed in with drawings of absolute horror from pastra. Just that "negative" mickey, looking at it for too long gives me shivers, just, THAT, photograph...That is something I will see in my nightmares. What a banger of a video...👏

Finally. You’ve managed to completely pull together my understanding of this series. Excellent work!

I would so just listen to you reading all the stories. The production quality, as well as the emotion in your voice emphasizing on certain very important words to drill in dread and terror. Very goo 10/10

I’m not going to lie, the Photonegative Micky faces during the “A Few Suggestions” section actually made me jump. Well done Pastra.

A a young teen, I always knew that these "Corruptus" are supposed to be some kind of spooky lookin' beings. However, you explaining how they're actually manifestations of Disney's wrongdoings (did I get that right?) really adds a whole new layer to these stories. Great video as always my guy, keep up the good work!

I remember watching Sacrow's video on this, but I love yours better sinply because you go into all the niddy griddy details of how these stories are written and uncover. Especially Room Zero (which I never really paid attention to the stories until now), it shows how corrupt people can get when believing in certain businesses and people. And also the fact that stuff like the corpse inside of the suit can actually happen is terrifying.

your theories were put together so well. the last time i heard this story was years ago so honestly it probably would've never crossed my mind again if i didn't see this video. i never realized how scary and well done it was, so thank you for giving me a new favorite creepypasta!!

I haven’t seen truly scared by a creepypasta in a long time, but that “you’re letting out the cold” line hit me like a truck in an isekai anime

Room Zero was always my favorite in the series. I grew up fascinated by the hidden inner workings of the Disney company so I knew about the bomb shelters and Mickey gas masks as a kid. So when I read Room Zero it felt so real

Thank you for introducing me to this creepypasta! It was a great read, and your analysis was really well done. Love your theories about Inverted Mickey. Also, the avatar/persona/mascot character that goes with your narration is such a charming design that I keep getting distracted. Awesome video!

Oh man, this is amazing. Most creepypastas are pretty basic and meh, but this one is so deep and real and unnerving to absolute perfection.

As someone who never read abandoned by disney, i'm blown away at how well written it is, LIKE SERIOUSLY what is this!?...absolutely GENIUS...my leg was bouncing for 40 minutes straight from pure anxiety and tension! I love this story sm!!

I love the climax of the original abondened by Disney, its scary because what’s happening is so hard to comprehend, its not like Mickey costume had hyper realistic eyes with hyper realistic blood and started chasing him, it just decides to pull its head off like it’s a cool trick while the protagonist sits there in horror, and it’s not some phsyco in a Mickey costume or some experiment gone wrong, it could be an experiment, but it’s definitely not human.

This might be my favorite video of Pastra’s. I can’t stop going back to it.

I think for me what puts these stories on such a high level is how viscerally everything is described. *Nothing* is safe or normal, everything is described in such an unpleasant and unsettling way, especially in the first story. Even once you get an explanation for what’s happening, once things start to make sense, it doesn’t lessen the horror because the sheer unnatural nature of everything refuses to let you get comfortable with any of it, and the way things are described is a big part of that. I could feel and see everything in the original story in my head and it made me way more uncomfortable than any other creepy pasta as a result. There’s more to my feelings on this story but it’s not something I can properly put into words other than to say I really appreciate them in a way I do few other pieces of horror literature, and I’m glad you covered them. Thanks for the awesome video!
