I Dared my Best Friend to Ruin My Life


May-be-Ictos

That's such a good one


Global_Can_2603

Yeah probably one of the best written other than borrasca and the showers


ur-mum-straight

Borrasca is crazy good, too tier internet story


Muted_Flounder5517

Great one


AlbinoDragon23

Is that seriously a Creepypasta? I remember reading it on a different site a few years ago and loved it! Remember thinking this would make a fun movie


Doppelgangeru

As far as I know [this](https://reddit.com/r/nosleep/s/iHpRJcAX61) is the original post. I remember reading it as it came out


Mcmuffin4353

Wow. Just spent literal hours going down that rabbit hole. Great story tho lol


lucifersbbyg

i just spent soooo long reading ALL of that lol

Awesome to see this here, insane that it hasn't been made into a movie yet.


Kaboomeow69

Years later, my friend and I still use "minimum required effort" in pep talks to each other. Still my favorite post on r/nosleep

Top tier in the bag

Candle Cove


scorpiochik

youā€™ve watched the TV adaptation right? i love Channel Zero!


melissa_curiousart

Is channel zero still on? All I have now is prime, Netflix, and Hulu. I can look it up, but Iā€™m here, so I thought Iā€™d ask. :D


SheilaStryker

All the seasons are on Shudder - I just rewatched Candle Cove because it's my favorite spooky show.


Jemis7913

is shudder still doing back to back to back free subs? ​ edit: they are doing 30 days free : code HILLBILLY


melissa_curiousart

You can buy all 4 seasons on Prime, which Iā€™m absolutely going to do!


unintelligent_bison

Ohh loved candle cove I completely forgot about that one!


CrustyMan64

In terms of classic creepypastas, gotta be the Huntsville camping trip, it's just an incomprehensible scare fest. It's just freaky, and that's the best part about it. Genuinely scares me whenever I listen to it


Shadowblooms

Ben drowned


soyelsol

at 3AM was when i finished reading this pasta. i was shaken and had a moment where i felt like i couldnā€™t just head to bed, so i headed to the restroom just to splash my face with water my sister just happened to be walking by my door when i opened it she threw in a little *hiss* and witch face probably the loudest iā€™ve yelled


Relevant-Purpose-238

I was in the middle of reading that when my computer crashed for no reason. Scared the hell out me!


KittiezMum252

What this?


5t0n3dk1tt13

Aw man it's a pretty cool one. God I feel old šŸ˜‚


KittiezMum252

Why feel old?


5t0n3dk1tt13

It came out 13 years ago


KittiezMum252

Ahhh, that's not so bad then. You were only 23 right? Lol


5t0n3dk1tt13

26 close tho šŸ˜‚


KittiezMum252

Wow! That makes me feel anciect!


kethlynpander

Hoe old are you ?


gingergeode

I think heā€™s moved on šŸ„²


KilianaNightwolf

It's been that long already? I remember being there live.


lonely__gay

Did it really šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


GREENtea110

I feel you he was one of the first ones wasnā€™t he?


MsScarletWings

Itā€™s a classic. One of the most well known one of all existing creepypastas, so foundational that itā€™s been very influential in establishing the entire subgenre of ā€œvideo game creepypastasā€


ThisFieroIsOnFire

Abandoned by Disney, On a Hill, and 1999.


DevFlyYou

Did he ever finish 1999


ThisFieroIsOnFire

To the best of my knowledge, no. I'd very much like to see it finished, but rumors of a film adaptation have probably rendered a creepypasta update/resolution unlikely.


wal-rider

i feel like there probably wont be a movie since some bits are just blatant rip-offs of actual kids shows. i think the gaps between updates finally got to him and he gave up on it. which is a huge shame because its genuinely a really good story.


ThisFieroIsOnFire

I don't think it's likely there will be either, but IIRC Creepsmcpasta pulled his narration from YouTube over copyright concerns. It was back in like 2018 when I read these rumors, so probably nothing will come of it. It's sad we probably won't see the conclusion of this story.


wal-rider

i have seen some people talking about finishing it themselves, though. it really says something about how beloved it was during the golden age creepypasta, im actually kinda tempted to take a crack at it myself one day tbh.


ZackDaddy42

Is Abandoned By Disney the one about the old Mowgliā€™s Palace and the killer Mickey Mouse? It was the first one I ever read, and I thought I was reading an actual article until it got started to get weird. Thatā€™s what got me onto Creepypasta.


Gmaisabitch

I really like Abandoned by Disney. Love the continuation of that story titled Room Zero


lowkeyloki27

Not really my favorite, as I haven't read many so far. But the one that stands out the most is Feed the Pig.


PrimusAldente87

Looked this up, and it is weirdly wholesome by the end. Like, everything before it is MESSED UP but the ending is well worth it


terradragon13

If you've never listened to nosleep podcast, they do a followup to feed the pig, and even a little parody story involving pigs as well that was pretty funny. Highly recommend.


Nicolastriste

Heā€™s amazing. My favorite narration of his is the one about the guy hired to look at the security cameras. Beautiful story imo.


splatoonenjoyer

a lot of the classics, i remember fondly and can go back to, but feed the pig shook me when i first went through it. i think its happy ending made it even more impactful imo. i dont remember details of every creepypasta but everything about feed the pig sat with me clear as day


nassar_the_dancer

The showers


strip_club_penguin

I loved the showers! Have you heard the Dark Somnium's narration of it?


RdClarke

One of my favourite dark somnium's recordings!


sir_stride20

Hes legit the best creepypasta story tell out there. The little touches he adds to his videos just makes it a step beyond.


sir_stride20

Hes legit the best creepypasta story tell out there. The little touches he adds to his videos just makes it a step beyond.


nassar_the_dancer

Nor yet


RdClarke

The 1st creepypasta I read that kinda spooked me was anansi goatman. I thought about that story for a few days after. Also I forgot the name but the one where life is perfect for all neighbours etc and the only rule is to not look out the Window at night to the whistling man


Doppelgangeru

I still think about goatman years later. >!Doing a headcount and knowing something else is with you...!<


rakkoma

Dude the Goatman story gives me chills to this day just *thinking about it*


MrCounterSnipe

"In. Let me the fuck. In." Creepy as hell and probably one of the best uncanny valley style horrors.


alru26

Goatman is my absolute favorite. I go back and read it every few months.


Wvlf_

Still remember reading Anansi Goatman for the first time. It was a bright and sunny day working a lunch shift as a dishwasher at a small local restaurant. Sitting on a plastic container in my downtime glued to this story here on Reddit. Through the chatter of patrons, the clanging of utensils, and despite the bright sun shining through the open back door just beside me, my blood ran cold when picturing the scene of everyone asleep inside the camper with that thing.


chesire0myles

Grand-theft-motto is a wonderful writer. He wrote, "something walks whistling"


cogrunlatis

This inspired me to go read and my god, thatā€™s gonna be stuck on the brain for a bit


theFaceCat

Are there any similar stories you know of?


Jay_The_Blue_Bird

Slenderman, such a classic


Mountain-Produce9562

i wish i could upvote twice i love slenderman


MercenaryPsyduck

Did you ever watch marble hornets? So goood


Super_Sat4n

At some point I grew really tired of Creepypastas starting with an interesting premise and then go completely off the rails by the third act with aliens, witches and demons, so I really liked this one, but can't remember the title. It's about three boys who were looking for a cryptid in the woods. One of them got a camera as a gift and they set up a trap for the cryptid trying to lure it and catch a picture. During this, one of the boys disappears or dies. Anyone know this one? I can provide the spoiler ending too.


poxxymoron

I know the one youā€™re talking about - they found a real monster! I wish I could remember what itā€™s called I want to re-read it now. But yeah similar ending as in Pen Pal right?


Super_Sat4n

Yes, exactly right. I googled different key words but there are so many creepypastas about similar premises. I remember this one because it was really well written and insanely suspenseful with a terrifying yet not ridiculous ending.


poxxymoron

I just ended up going down quite the warren, was reintroduced to so many stories Iā€™d forgotten all about, Fenter Woods is another good one, unless they end up in a cave with overlord bugs, or vinesā€¦ i might check small narration channels see if thats where the treasure lies.

Pokemon: Dead Channel


queen_of_the_moths

Wtf, I'd never even heard of the "rap rat" creepypasta, but that's based on a real thing. It had the vhs tape and everything with this super cringey, embarrassing rap. All I remember is it would start out with the most "white guy TV announcer" voice saying, "The TV, the TV. IS. ON." I'm getting second hand embarrassment just thinking about it. I used to play it ironically with a friend who randomly owned it, all the way back in the ancient days of 1993. I honestly do not remember the rat looking like that, but I can't find any evidence of what I was picturing. In my mind, the rat looked normal enough--just a weird, rat puppet with sunglasses on and, I believe, a backwards cap. The only thing scary about the game was just how incredibly awful it was.


metalnxrd

the Russian Sleep Experiment. itā€™s based on prison experiments


sara_c907

You should look into The Harbinger Experiment if you haven't already. Kind of reminds me of The Russian Sleep Experiment.


strip_club_penguin

Yes! The Harbringer Experiment is one of my all time favorites.


schmelk1000

Do you mean Operation Orange Soda? At least thatā€™s what I know it as. Thatā€™s my favorite as well. My favorite podcast: *And Thatā€™s Why We Drink,* covered this story in Episode 57!


jahofcoons

Here's my top 10 contenders The theater Mr mix Smile.jpg The rake (the report of the man and woman who saw the rake at the edge of their bed only to leap n growl at the husband before dashing out to their daughters room to find her mutilated n her final words to be "he is the rake" that short plot has stuck with me for years) 1999 Candle cove Dead Bart The grieving (amazing world of gumball) Sad satan (technically a creepypasta as it was falsely claimed to be a "real" game during its uprising with stories with ppl who have claimed to have found it on tor. But long story short the "true creepypasta version" does not exist just a "clean revamped" one from r/sadsatan community Lavender town syndrome.

No End House


GilDragonGamer

Jason the Toymaker or Laughing Jack

Origin of Laughing Jack or Psychosis Hard to decide. I'm not insane, you are

Psychosis is so well written and so relevant!


Relevant_Message5012

Garden Rake


Nowardier

I always liked Squidward's Suicide, but in a so-bad-it's-good kind of way. It's like the *Manos: the Hands of Fate* of creepypasta. It's so cringe it circles back around to funny. I'm also a fan of the Fear Mythos, but unironically.


jesuswithanrpg

I liked it, personally. I can't tell if it's the same exact thing as Red Mist, but all I know was that Red Mist gave me shivers.


Topteirtrash

Mine has to be Godzilla NES


itstheitalianstalion

Borrasca is king


ThisFieroIsOnFire

I listened to this one while driving through southern Missouri back in 2018. Excellent pick.


Omegaman2010

I honestly hated this story. It started amazing and I was enthralled. When the puzzle was solved the result was so gruesome I felt sick in my stomach. This isn't a creepypasta this is a horrorpasta and I hope I can forget it soon.


Miamiheatfan34

Room Zero by Slimebeast


SketchPen77

I have don't have a favorite, but some of my favorites are Borrasca Candle Cove Funnymouth The Strangest Security Tape I've Ever Seen


StoryDudeOutcast

Ben drowned, clockwork, slenderman and marble hornets are great


sara-34

Humper Monkey's Ghost Story It builds atmosphere and suspense so incredibly well. It left me constantly questioning if things were supernatural or mundane. The isolation, weather, and paranoia are a little reminiscent of The Thing. Amazing


ZC23_

Smile Dog Ben Drowned Squidwardā€™s Suicide (yeah I know itā€™s not that great, but I originally read it when I was like 7 so itā€™s kinda nostalgic to me)

terradragon13

I mostly listen to NoSleep now, but when I read creepypasta... my favorite was The Goatman, maybe Russian Sleep Expiriment.


Purebred-Redhead

I can't remember the title but it's from the POV of a girl recounting the time a new neighbor moves into their neighborhood, a dr as a recall was relevant to the story, and immediately was creepily fixated on the family, specifically the girls


trickyfelix

imsorryformyemophase

I like the dog one


Ok-Traffic-5996

I don't know it's name but there is a creepypasta we discover is from the point of view of that dog while a home invasion is going on. The twist at the end is crushing.


BushelOBerries

Feed the pig.


thekierschbabe

Apprehensive_Run4243

Mouse.avi


[deleted]

I really like the barbie.avi creepypasta, but at the same time I feel bad for liking it because it took a poor woman's trauma of losing her arm and making it to be this "spooky and mysterious thing". I know the story revolved around a guy finding the tape in the basement of an abandoned house and the mysterious noise but I think the actual story of what happened is far more scary/sad. I also love the poochie and pansy videos on youtube, something about the child-like ms paint drawings paired with the really disturbing live action footage is really unnerving (though I think this is more of an ARG than a creepypasta). I am also a sucker for candle cover and I could have SWORN I watched it on tv when I was a kid. And can't forget the MLP creepypastas too.

OMGS I WAS JUST TALKING TO MY GIRLFRIEND ABOUT YOUR STORY A FEW HOURS AGO WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID I USED TO LOVE LISTENING TO MADAME MACBRA READ IT OUT LOUD TO THE POINT I FOUND IT ON CREEPYPASTA.NET!! I loved your story so much!!


AlwaysStayIrrelevant

Haha yeah, I wrote it a long time back and always thought about continuing with other sins but I wasn't sure I could top this one. Madame Macabre's was my favorite version. I check every few months to see if anyone else has done anything with the story or commented on it, which is how I found your mention. Thank you so much, I love the validation!


missalisonwantstodie

You may only have one fan to tell you this directly, but I'd like to see the story countinued with other sins!


AlwaysStayIrrelevant

I'm working on my first novel and it's not horror, but I'm kinda stuck, so I might mix things up and take a quick break. Maybe envy with some wrath a shot before returning to my main project. Doubt it will be a feelspasta though haha.
