Me immediately skipping to the Russian sleep experiment to see if they address that one of the images heavily associated with the story is of a haunt prop. This is a part of creepypasta history you can own

Fun Fact: on the gen 4.5 my little pony series "pony life" Twilight Sparkle referenced creepypastas by saying she had read about bighoof on a "scary ravioli" website. :^)

Ah yes, I loved that part of the Rake movie when the Rake said ''I'ts Raking time'' and started rakin' people

[@hyperfixationfanatic]

He started WHAT people?!?!?!?!?

[@crabohato4954]

Ngl, i respect the Ben drowned arg take. The problem with most args is that eventually, it gets too complicated and thus in accessible to get invested in them. The worst example of this is the wyoming incident. I'm pretty sure even they forgot what happened in their story

[@crabohato4954]

If you weren't there while an arg was going down, then it's much more harder to keep a track of

[@joeshmoe9204]

This video is a lot more critical of the stories than other CreepyPasta retrospectives. It’s a bit refreshing to see an different perspective, even if I don’t agree with all the criticisms

[@lmfao_its_milo]

My formal introduction to creepypastas was my dad telling me slenderman would get me if I was out too late :'( Showed me an entire "news story" of a girl my age getting abducted by him, still can't even look outside at night without feeling spooked

The origin of mereana mordegard gesgorv is so funny to me because imagine being just some guy and you hear this urban legend about an ultracursed video that makes people gouge out there eyes and it’s literally just a picture of you for 20 seconds

[@OceanCat]

I remember being so terrified of the Lavender Town one that I would click off of any video that played that song.

[@stevdawizard392]

Its interesting to note that laughing jacks "back story" was made by a dude named "Snuff bomb" and made a guy named "Issac Grossman" he used Laughing Jack to basically spring board his OC...and it kind of worked and Snuff was known in the community but he was extremely problematic and something happened with him and Madame Macabre when she was making her own comic and this was all like 10 years ago but it was a huuuge deal when it happened

[@pawprintssystem5481]

this is a great summary thanks

[@stevdawizard392]

@pawprintssystem5481 it's also from like drama that happens years and years ago

[@AdvancedGB2000]

I've been watching this whole pastatober from October 1 to today I don't regret it it definitely made me appreciate this channel a whole lot more, happy Halloween shunks

[@glowdonk]

Fun fact, the popular image of The Rake was actually a promotional image involving one of the games in the Resistance Series yk the series made by the same people who did Sunset Overdrive, the original Spyro trilogy, and Ratchet and Clank

[@Average_Grilledcheese_fan]

It's kinda funny how badly written alot of these were and how terrified we were of them 😭

[@RedySetDare]

So are we just going to gloss over the massive elephant in the room during the disney section which is the incredibly racist shit with the "native American sacrificial ritual" because it is wild to me that was just glossed over instead of brought up as a kinda fucked up thing that the story added.

[@arstotzkanplaguedoctor]

In the original video not in compilation the comments called it out well enough, but Shunks changed absolutely nothing for this complication in any of the segments as far as I can tell, so it seems not

[@skylarsworld9477]

Bro shut up everything is racist to you twitter people

[@Mypimi707]

timestamp? genuinely asking

[@Cute_Deth]

Uploaded at 3am, perfect time to watch through the entire video 😼

[@ninelo74]

My first exposure to creepypasta was seeing a google+ post on my sister's phone with jeff the killer on it saying to share or he'll come get you.... I feel old af for that

[@honeybelle1203]

I'm convinced that one (or more) of my parents' foster kids either knew about or read Ben Drowned at some point, because there were game files on our copy of Ocarina of Time that had Link named Ben. For some reason, I copied this "trend" of sorts and kept starting new games wherein I used the name Ben... I was a very strange small child. o_0

[@springheeledjax]

The daily creepypasta posting was a really fun idea! I personally didn't click on all of them because they were so short, but I feel kinda bad cus I recognize the algorithm wasn't very kind to them. But this compilation is awesome, I hope it gets more views, and I'd like to see something like this next year!!!

[@jinklyz]

it was fun watching these during lunch after getting back home from school... thankyou shunks

[@hyperfixationfanatic]

Omg me too…

[@maximomutt0018]

thank u so much for ur hard work shunks!! happy halloweeeeeen

[@hammertheknot]

4:10 I'd say the KZbin algorithm was more than merciful,l to these videos, as I was recommended nearly every single video this October back to back out of the blue.

[@artastic_friend]

Omg i remember loving Clockwork when I was a child ToT Probably bc my mental state as a child also sorta probably reflected that of the author, but damn that’s crazy to hear how much it was hated on (but also not too surprising in hindsight)

[@danthedork965]

My first exposure to creepypasta was back in late 2010 with the tails doll urban legend

[@stilbie]

loves coming home from school and watching these. amazing series

[@kingbash6466]

I really felt nostalgic looking through these short videos this past month. Creepypastas used to be my horror obsession before FNAF came and fed into my hyperfixation habits even more, and while most definitely don't hold up, I still find a lot of charm reading through them again and seeing how much influence they had and still have on internet horror.

[@candeloro455]

thank you for pastober, it was really got me through the month looking forward to another part in the spooooky chronicles

[@Langtree]

Was hoping for a compilation like this, on KZbin I think I have like negative brain rot where I can't get into short videos anymore so I'm glad these are all put in here

[@DoctorPlagueWorld]

I just wanna say, this is some great ad pacing. I wish more people did this. Great video too, lots of nostalgia

[@agent56100]

I think that Rake movie may be based on WhisperedFaith, which is really interesting in itself. It’s an ARG where The Rake is an Operator-adjacent entity called “The Speaker,” which slowly corrupts its targets and turns them into its agents

[@Pubbs_TheClown]

I remember being in the Candle Cove fandom years ago, it was real small and is still pretty small. There used to be a discord run by the wiki admin that sadly, last I check, got overtaken by a group of kids who did not give a shit about Candle Cove... I remember talking and theorizing with everyone in it and I remember linking the "Milo" character to an artist who had sadly long since deactivated Anyways somehow none of us knew about all these extra creepypastas...we just saw all the characters on the wiki and rolled with it (the wiki treated the characters and show as real so it would never had links or go "these characters came from this candle cove variant" it was just played straight and even the lone wiki admin did this. Also last I checked the wiki admin went from being a goth to being a weirdo political dude?? And once someone tried to vandalize the wiki to match the "novel" they were making where there was this sun god and skintaker had fire powers?? Idk shit was weird and everyone in the discord freaked out about it for a while and we had to resort to using the backup wiki till everything was fixed lol)

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Creepypastas maybe not as great as it used to be nowadays, but it does made a major influence on Internet horrors over the years that leads to the creation of analog horror, lost media, SCPs, the Backrooms, and mascot horrors.

[@dingola_]

"Lost media" is not an horror genre lol I mean it is a commun theme between them but it's not a concept made for horror by any means

[@Topdoggie7]

Creepypastas used to be lame was the point of the video, newer ones are way better.

[@TheobaldLeonhart]

I know about Penpals! LavenderTowne did a creepydrawsta video about it I think I also read it somewhere, but it could've been a different one I also know about, some of the other ones. But they're video game related, and I like video games. Or, they're just really old Plus, it's neat seeing something LavenderTowne talked about Edit: Checkpoint: I- Wait, wrong video (sorry. I know that's DK music. But it's forever associated with an internet checkpoint for me)

[@cherrrymilk]

I wish for the Russian sleep experiment that instead of it turning ordinary men into monsters, there was a gas leak from the chamber so it seeped into where the scientists and doctors were and they started seeing things as well, that’s why they saw the test subjects as monsters

[@chimerianidiot]

If the 2015 rewrite of JTK you talked about is the one with the weird sexual undertones and Jeff being a brony (for some reason), then yeah I've read that one and I agree it sucks. But if it's not that one then I guess there must be a multiverse of different JTK rewrites, just like there's a billion gazillion .EXEs now (not that I'm complaining, I actually like some of them lol). And the mentions of the trollpasta wiki bring me back. I was there to witness the original one (the ones currently up are revivals), and also to witness its deletion. If one were to dig up the posts of users grieving the wiki's shutdown right after it happened, they'd be hit with a blast from the past and not in a good way. Why? For some reason everyone was convinced that the deletion had to do with *le evil feminists* being offended with the wiki. Surely the trollpasta wiki being deleted had nothing to do with the rampant harassment and drama that would happen in the forums, sometimes even coming from the moderators themselves... Nah, it was *totally* because one of those gosh-darned red-haired feminists was so triggered by EVIL PATRIXXX that she had to delete the whole wiki, certainly. (sarcasm)

He will just delete one of his works if he doesn't like it anymore and get mad if it's reposted. Strange guy.

I mean, he does have the right to take down his own work. I do agree with the Mario Nights thing being a bit of a dick move tho :3

Ripping off barbies arms technically is part of the play feature, in order to put on doll’s clothing you need to be able to remove their arms, all dolls have that feature unless their unarticulated So the creepypasta being named “barbie” cus of that feature is very likely, since again you need to remove the doll’s arms to be able to change her outfit, you cam remove them by just the wist or the forearm like how the womans arm in the video is I owe skelita from monster high and you can remove not only her arms but also legs-its so funny to see peoples reaction to that lol

Ok small thing but your criticism towards arg’s felt a little weird. Like you don’t have to like them or anything (I mean hell, the most I tend to interact with those stories is on the level of going through what I can, and then listening to an explain video to get some of the bits I couldn’t find or understand) but shitting on the creators who do enjoy delving into them feels kinda…unnecessary and rude? It didn’t really have much to do with your critique on the pasta and just felt kinda petty. I know it wasn’t a significant bit of the video but that part kinda irked me a little. Good and fun video otherwise
