Childhood Trauma: Unsupervised internet access edition

it's all fun and games until you see those hyperrealistic red eyes I suppose. This here's the third part of this year's halloween special, so if you haven't gone and watched the first two, I recommend doing that ;)

"I feel Fantastic" is pretty scary, not going to lie. It's like a deceased Vocaloid singing.

[@Nyanako_VT]

Isn't it actually Luka's vb being used? Unless I'm remembering wrong.

[@AVK_SAM]

Luka was released in 2008 and the video pre dates. The "I Feel Fantastic" video is available on the creator's website which was last updated in 2006 so if it is a vocaloid than it's more likely to be Lola or Miriam. The creator could've also been using a different vocal synth entirely (a contemporary one being something called Cantor).

[@RubyChocoCookie]

@@AVK_SAM So Miriam was killed and was transformed to a AI named "Tara" after her death.

[@Nyanako_VT]

@@AVK_SAM If it's either of the original Eng feminine Vocaloid/V1 vbs, I'd guess probably Miriam, since Lola normally has a deeper voice if I'm remembering right. (Sorry, it's been a while since I was deeply immersed in Vocaloid/Vocasynth.)

[@the4tierbridge]

@@RubyChocoCookie no: it's just a roboticist's commercial venture that ended when he died, somewhat spookily, a year after I feel fantastic was released on DVD.

[@fIorapetals]

You deserve the biggest shoutout for not including anything super bloody in any of these. As a morbidly curious kid nothing was worse than going into a "spooky" top ten video and being greeted by hyperrealistic goreTM with no warning.

“Morbidly” WAS THAT A REFERENCE TO THE HIT FILM MORBIU-

[@avery4818]

that intro hit me hard as someone with OCD. "you know its not real, but you cant stop thinking about it. even when you try it just comes back harder" like damn OCD is comparable to being in that timeframe as a kid being too scared to sleep, but for days to months at a time. like it makes sense.

[@AlpiineSnowGriffin]

Intrusive thoughts gotta be the worse, i heard it's especially bad in ocd people. Idk abt me but I suspect it's my anxiety and they still suck especially as a kid. I'd see something creepy and my brain will torture me with it for weeks I couldn't sleep.

[@AlpiineSnowGriffin]

Even as i got older I didn't understand what it was and why nobody else understood. But now I do and I feel sad for past me having to deal. With these awful thoughts making her feel crazy or like she's a bad person deep inside. I wish I could tell her that it's okay and that those thoughts are just that. Thoughts. I don't actually wanna do or actually wanna think these things. It's jaut unfortunately how my brain works and I gotta live with it.

Thanks for the shoutout Shunks. =) We thank you for liking our content. We have said it many times before that, as we get older and more accustomed to horror, we tend not to get spooked or feel the same way we did, when we first saw it. Like playing a horror game / or game in general after so many years. It doesn't feel the same as when we first played it, the thrilling experience, the memories of finding a secret, beating a bss etc. Hope this helps =) Also XJ our Mascot Robot, we wanted to keep it as nostalgia and keep it as a channel icon for all the lists, so that newcomers and older fans will still remember or associate a video to TatsTopVideos. Thank you all viewers who have seen this message, and liked, or still support our videos, and thanks once again to Shunks for their video and shoutout.

[@tystotallyradicaltoenail]

I unironically watch Starship Genius and The Flood all the time. The music is just so good.

[@Lemchi217]

I’ve rewatched the series like three times and although the series looks weird art wise, the music was breathtaking

i remember ratboygenius, i never got into the story because i was too weirded out by potato knishes 💀

[@jermfanaccount]

i remember hearing about that through Chadtronic a few years ago! honestly something about the primitive-looking graphics is mesmerising to me. reminds me of really old 90s CGI, i kinda dig it

[@hammiarts]

jeff the killer and slenderman scared me shitless as a kid bc i didnt discover them alone online, i was told about them by older friends that i trusted and believed totally. i didnt get the context that they were fake stories and images, they were presented as truth. for 8 year old me that was extremely scary

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

for me it was Tails Doll and Eyeless Jack, at least the original image of Eyeless Jack. The fear of the image made me not listen to the creepypasta for the time I was in that phase until years later and out of the phase cause of a certain stabbing. Tails Doll? maybe it was the Sonic Paradox shorts (I think its vol.3?) that had him at the end with a creepy monologue and "jumpscare" that got me, as I was pretty unphased by Sonic. exe. But im fine now and ironically Can You Feel The Sunshine is one of my favorite Sonic R songs

[@MarsMakes]

23:00 As a Finnish person I can confirm Morso also traumatized a lot of us finns too. He's a shared trauma. Even Aasi (Donkey) was scared of Morso as a species and had to get over his fear in the first episode. Basically, that dude was made to be scary.

[@jarnorallimopo2932]

Yeah, the artist who made the puppet really made an effort to create the most unorthodox creature they could. No wonder donkey was so scared of Morsos, he had every right to be!

[@kc_9970]

@@jarnorallimopo2932 Well in the books, Morso is shown to be a mouse. But in the TV show, he looks like a pug.

[@aino-kaisav5504]

I was never scared of Morso but maybe that's because I was already 7 or something when I saw it for the first time. That one scene in The Moomins though... the one were Moominpappa tells about the night he ran away from the orphanage. *shudders*

[@GhazMazMSM]

Blameitonjorge’s disturbing moments in kids shows scarred me as a kid. The original top 20 version.

[@tystotallyradicaltoenail]

One of the things I found online that really creeped me out as a kid was the videos of people exploring Aika Village in Animal Crossing New Leaf. The theories around it both fascinated and terrified me.

[@gemwolfz2860]

the one single time i visited aika village, when i got back to my town there were exactly 666 bells in the public work project i had, so that was really funny

i tended to be overly cautious on youtube as a kid but a few things managed to spook me. the tokyo teddy bear music video from project diva (as well as other edgy vocaloid songs that was baby me's first exposure to ideas like s**cide), videos about theme park deaths or true crime, and more recently, battington's harmony & horror series. that one's a hard hitter, couldn't sleep one night because of it. edit: also the footage of the original snow white ride in disney world. literally something out of a found footage/analog horror video.

[@karak962]

LORD harmony and horror made me not sleep for THREE DAYS

[@BlueKoraidon]

I know that I watch iceberg videos but I’m still cautious and I never tempt myself into looking up anything or watching anything that’s not okay

[@monster56619]

Not gonna lie, I never got into the creepy/horror phase until I got into high school. That’s when I found all these channels you mentioned with each being great in their own unique way and style. However, who I believe affected me the most was definitely Tats because of the great work and visual presentations giving me legit nightmares at night. Nowadays I look back at all of these channels and videos for nostalgia, and I’m happy that these KZbinrs were able to introduce me to the creepy and scary side. Thank you for the amazing trip back Shunks!

I'm also glad I started finding this stuff from the internet only after elementary school. Heck, one chain message scared me so much I wasn't able to sleep properly next night and I was already 13 by that point. I can only imagine how scarring some actual creepypastas would have been for kid-me.

[@aeroblu2002]

The I Feel Fantastic video actually has quite the tragedy behind it. The original guy behind the animatronic died before the original video was even uploaded on KZbin, and he never got to see people giving his creations the appreciation he always wanted them to have.

[@artastic_friend]

I really miss the feeling of lying in bed as a 11-14yr old and just watching some creepypasta that made me scared to move or breathe too loud while I stared out in fear at the dark- I just don't get moments like that anymore😭

[@londoncintron680]

I remember being obsessed with the realistic cartoon characters trend from the late 2000s and early 2010s. I look back at most of them fondly but for whatever reason I was terrified of this one realistic Charlie Brown. There's something about small beady eyes and his large round head that just did not translate well into realism.

[@SmilingAdvocate]

I used to watch and get scared and fascinated by behind the scenes theme park videos too. And now I’ve ended up working at one (Alton Towers) due to that fascination (I’m not scared any more)

[@livblakey1326]

I actually read normal porn for normal people a few months ago and it was super creepy. There’s a lot of stories off the creepy pasta wiki (specifically the computers/internet category) that are pretty underrated.

[@Kaitlyn_the_Mad]

The "I feel fantastic" one still scares the hell out of me to this day. That freaking android can rot at the deepest, darkest part of the ocean for all I care. I hate it.

[@tasfiahaque1370]

Wow we were scared by the exact same things as a kid lol. I keep forgetting we are near the same age.

[@SakuraStardust]

BlameitonJorge is unequivocally based, can confirm

[@Scootakip]

It's so odd seeing history repeat itself. As a kid, I'd obsessively read terrible video game creepypastas. Nowadays, kids are obsessed over terrible analog horror series, making fan art, fanfics, and extended universes around shit like walter files or mandala catalog. Part of me wants to shake my fist at the sky, saying "kids these days don't know what's good", but then I gotta remind myself that the shit I was into as a kid was no better Also Rat Bot Genius and Treats For Beasts are absolutely ace channels, top tier shit

[@tanglelover]

Blameitonjorge is such a good but scary vibe at like 2am.

[@alexdelarosa6770]

ooh some of the creepy stuff i know and actually like are AdultSwim' night videos. "house has people in it" and "unedited footage of a bear" (most known i guess) also love rat boy genius and "i feel fantastic"

[@splitsee2526]

the beginning is bascially what I felt after skipping around everywhere at the end of time

[@ScreamingAllTheTime]

I have the clearest memory of a version of 1999 where there was an episode of the Oobi knockoff that was supposed to be a “scissors safety” video where a kid gets his finger cut off. I read it on some Wattpad creepypasta collection. I honestly kinda wanna collect all the weird off shoot versions of 1999 even if they were bad. A lot of them prolly got taken down because there was a big copyright huballoo

[@strappadork]

I remember watching Scaretheater in 2013 back when he had a different channel that was just him talking about creepypastas while he played video games. When I found the Scaretheater channel I was stunned to realize it was the same guy. It's insane to see how much he has evolved and improved over the years.

[@thedevilgoose2482]

I love scaretheater. I've been watching him since Obey The Walrus, which I think might be his first video(?) he doesn't upload as frequently as before, but he's around. Also you are 100% right about the "classic creepypasta countdown" channels. Their atmospheres are unparalleled.

[@mezzovii]

when you mentioned danger dolan, i remembered this one video he made that i never watched because the thumbnail scared the hell out of me when i was younger. it was called something like "15 weirdest video game glitches". the thumbnail was some girl with silver hair, bulging eyes, and mouth stretched like a duck bill. i tried to avoid it but i couldn't because it kept getting recommended to me for months

[@chimerianidiot]

As a kid I also thought the JTK image was too unrealistic to be scary, but the concept of a guy who just goes out telling people to "go to sleep" and then killing them still scared me shitless. There was one obscure creepypasta (which I can't remember the name of) that made me way more scared, though. It basically tells the tale of a guy who likes composing music and playing it on his piano, but he sucks and no one likes his music. So he sells his soul to the devil in exchange for making him good at making music, so good in fact that he gets really popular. But of course, there's a catch: anyone who listens to his music dies. Lil' me was terrified of accidentally listening to even a snippet of one of his songs and then instantly perish. Nowadays I find it kinda funny that THIS managed to scare me, yet when it came to weird videos like "I feel fantastic" and "agamemnon counterpart", I never thought of them as anything more than weird art projects.

[@LonerSirius]

so many of the youtubers you mentioned were the exact ones i watched when i was younger for the creepy countdowns and adored. peanutbutter gamer's g-files, hoodohoodlumsrevenge, tats topvideos, the old danger dolan countdowns, and hell even blameitonjorge so I get the EXACT vibes you got. that stuff was so good.

[@rockin_raffy]

1999 terrified me since i first heard it, i would put on scary top 10s and crime stories while i played animal jam and that came on..there was no indication that it was fake and i remembered being horrified and having to share a bed with my sister that night

[@Rae0814]

Candle Cove freaked me out. Also, out of everything in Vocaloid, ‘Alice Human Sacrifice’ scared me. Secrets of Wysteria too, due to it being based on a true story and the reversed message.

[@AlpiineSnowGriffin]

One of the best Analog horror series I've seen so far are the Squimpus mcgrimpus videos and the walten files, the walten files even as a 16 year old SCARED THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME it's only supposed to be unsettling but it's more than that. And that Charles face where he repeats his missing date over and over in a text to speech voice I never wanna see again that thing is beyond horrific.

[@alleycatmoth]

This... this is hitting VERY close to home. I've probably spent a ton of my childhood being on the internet completely unsupervised and discovering scary (and questionable) stuff.

I've followed BlameItOnJorge for years, ever since I was big on Creepypastas. I have him to thank for my developed love of lost media and if it weren't for the early videos I never would've found my passion. I love him so much, still watch him to this day

[@dustbunny6381]

I know it's silly but I can't overstate how much I appreciate the warning that squidward's suicide/red mist is in this. It's the only creepypasta that really bothers me, even though most people think it's one of the hokiest. Despite the writing being trash tier generic lost episode fare, something about those fucking eyes just haunt me, and going into videos like this, I always end up tense, half the time even covering the screen just so I won't see it if it happens to switch over to the pic with no warning

[@tex56]

I used to google “Morso” just to scare myself too 😂 same with Ratafak and Fafão. I’ve gained a weird fascination for these unintentionally creepy kids characters. Makes me wonder what it’s like to be a kid that grew up with those guys.

[@rottenfiggy]

I NEVER hear people bring up Rap Rat, he used to scare the shit out of me. I was a big creepypasta kid and he was one of the only ones that genuinely upset me, probably because of the curse aspect

Once I watched a youtube video about lucarios. It was called "lucarios house is full of pests". I didn't know it at the time but it was a micro f3t1sh video about a lucario family unknowingly squishing pokemon bugs like caterpie, who were fully sentient and capable of speaking english. There was like blood and stuff whenever the bugs got squished and I loved bugs so I was completely and utterly traumatized. Haven't looked for that video since

I had these disney VHS tapes as a toddler that took you through the parks with singalongs and mascot characters and stuff and I would watch them on repeat. I would cry whenever they would end because they would do a whole "goodbye" ceremony acting like you were leaving disney lmao. Fastforward to when I'm 15 and me and my family take a trip to disney and go on the haunted mansion ride. My mom is able to SING EVERY WORD OF THE SONG. Every word, without skipping a beat, perfectly. I apologized for the whole ride!

[@btragicart]

Channels like TatsTopTen, SomeOrdinaryGamers (when he did vids like that) and Mullet Mike were channels that Kickstarter my love for horror media. I got into it through urban legends and creepypastas but these channels piqued my interest for it all. It didn't help that I watched it alone in the dark late at night or downstairs on the family pc when everyone else was asleep. I scared myself for the hell of it. Thanks for reawakening those memories, dope video 💕

[@genehen6495]

thankyou for warning me about the classic creepypasta scary faces stuff. I hallucinated alot as a kid (still do now occasionally - but ive mostly grown out of it) and the no. 1 thing my brain LOVED to latch onto was scary faces. It's like it stored them to a special place in my memory just to taunt me with later. I don't want to risk sparking some adult hallucinations/sleep paralysis episodes with the ol' reliables (squidward... my nemesis...) so I'll just listen to this one. :)

At the time i thought you had 3 in real life days to beat the game and if you didn't the moon would fall and Termina and all its inhabitants would perish FOREVER, but somehow, despite there being a cutscene showing Link also would not make it if the moon crashed into Termina, I had it in my head that Link would return to Hyrule, and the people of Hyrule would have no idea about Termina. Like it haunted me, this whole idea of child Link failing to save all these people and tearfully returning to Hyrule. It kept me up at night and i had a nightmare about it and everything. And I never wanted the game because I was too scared that I would fail and the game wouldn't work anymore because I failed lmao.

It's very funny to me that Morso has become this spooky lost media creepypasta character, because his show is very well known here in Finland! Aasi, Morso & Mouru is a very inoffensive and tame show in itself, but the way the puppets looked and moved was quite uncanny. I have no idea why Morso was designed that way! His wrinkly face, bulging eyeballs and tiny little teeth are so creepy. But yeah, the show is a very common childhood trauma thing for people who were kids in the late 90s (my parents for example xD).

We found out the guy who made her never intended her to be creepy and she was intended to be a greeter at a car dealership but but too unpolished to be used. We thought they were the funniest videos ever and would cry from laughing so hard at her. IMO her other song "Electricity" is better than I feel fantastic. But the one video of hers that actually freaked me out and still does to this day is "piercing the android". It's so so so unnerving and i haaaateeeee watching it

A notable favorite Creepypasta of mine from way back when was the Holders series. It was a series of ritualpastas with no real overarching plot that were written in second-person perspective. They were kind of like supernatural walkthroughs, and I honestly can't describe them as well as just listening to/reading the actual pastas themselves can. I loved trying to figure out the loose continuity between the stories, and I always wondered what would happen if someone succeeded in all of the rituals. I honestly think that the Holders series shaped a large part of what kind of horror stuff I like nowadays. "Surreal, unexplainable happenings where the main character is just one of many who could be in their spot" describes not just Holders, but also Uzumaki and The Magnus Archives. I'm not sure if Holders counts as cosmic horror, but it definitely feels like it's adjacent to it imo.

I just found your channel and I cant explain it but your channel is vibes. Just very chill and calming and I cant stop smiling. Thank you so much for making these videos

Ohhhh man the stretching pictures in the haunted mansion really terrified me too!! It wasn't necessarily any sort of belief they were really haunted or anything, I just found it terrifying that the pictures originally looked innocent but were secretly horrible evil ghost images. I was terrified of the idea that something frightening could be hiding anywhere in plain sight, disguised as a nice thing. It made it hard to trust any paintings for a while. I wasn't scared of ghosts I was scared of manipulative painters, lol I was a weird kid...

Yep this is the right thing to be watching at 2am in the dark

Hilarious connection between a couple of the things you mentioned: the first time I ever heard of Jeff the Killer was from a PBG video.

I used to be afraid of swearing, and if a youtuber swore I would never watch them back then.
