Rule #12 would be broken immediately because I would have burnt a hole in the carpet booking it to the nearest exit.

[@Mourning2295]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@supahvaporeon]

David breaking rule 12 killed the entity within room 3. David used the book to bind some sort of group of entities to him, and used them to act as an extra life force of some kind. He used them to prolong his life just long enough to drink the liquid from the Lady's Goblet, to get the needed information to contain the rest of the entities in his stead. Turning on all the projectors started room 3's effects obviously.

The "Rules" is like whole new genre of creepypasta now. This one was unique in most ways to the others. In other ones the protagonist and the viewers get the rules at the start, obviously the protagonist doesn't believe the rules at first, then instantly gets the easiest one and realizes that the rules are real. Protagonist tries to follow them, but fails and is saved by plot armor. In this one we can feel the struggle, as we also feel as we were with him all the time because we discover rules as the story goes on and the story quickly follows up. Most "rules" stories goes like this: Rule 1, rule 2, rule 3 and rule 4, the story is a mix of all the rules. This one goes like: Rule 1 Story 1, rule 2 story 2 , rule 3 story mix of 1+3. A nice change of pace

[@spaceqwertyy1184]

i have gotten pretty bored of the stories that just go: rule 1, rule 2, rule 3, story, in story person violates rule 4, person looks on back of sheet, rule 4, cliffhanger ending.

[@jacquelinehoward5445]

Yeah, I never understood the "typical" formula. This way makes sense to me and follows proper story setup, structure, and plot development. As a result, it's not awkward, I don't forget the weird made-up rules for a weird made-up world, and it just flows. This story was excellent, and I'll be following the author. Also, great narration and voice-acting!

Whoever wrote this creepypasta is immensely skilled. It could easily be extended into a full horror novella but would work even better as a horror mini series for the likes of shudder. Amazing stuff.

Probably had something to do with me being the only usher who thought to bring a small flashlight to work. XD

Don’t allow a man with a tattoo on his cheek to take any thing from lost and found. 4. If the lights go out while cleaning a room, immediately sit down in a seat and don’t look away from the screen. Even if you are tempted. 5. If everyone in a room stares at you in a theatre without blinking, leave room and notify manager immediately. 6. If a customer hears a noise in the vents, take the box in the garbage room, open it and place it in the middle of the vents. Leave immediately. 7. If you notice shadows being out of sync with your surroundings, return to the last room you’ve been to. Alone. Close the door and open it. 8. If a trash bag starts to move and talk, don’t open it. Dumpy it down the trash Shute. 9. If a smartly dressed man walks out of room #3 while still in play and asks for the manager, lead him to the manager. 10. Don’t open the black leather book that appears around the theatre . 11. Don’t accept the drink from the lady in the black dress. 12. There must always be a manager.
