Image based creepypastas are probably the most underrated genre of creepypasta if you ask me. Photos as a concept in general are pretty underused within horror and it's a shame since there's so much you can do with the concept alone. Smiledog is the most obvious example but the idea of a cursed image that needs to be spread works well within out modern social media dominated lives, and especially with the boom of things like snapchat/tiktok so a single photo often can tell a very scary or even unnerving narrative.

[@zalybrainlessgenius503]

They're underrated because they're not easy to make. You can't just write "AND THEN THERE WAS BLOOD WOOOO", you must actually provide the visual part.

[@IronBoy-hf2lp]

I like that not all of Anomaly's images are... Malicious, or dark. Sometimes it's just an uncle showing up to play one last great joke on his family. Give them a scare, and maybe an "oh, you!" before he goes. Sometimes it's a pair of twins watching their dead bodies be extracted from a car, anxious as their mother is brought out- before they see that she is alive.

[@pancakes8670]

They all follow a consistent theme of tragedy and the paranormal, but not all of them are horrific or unsettling. It does a good job giving you a bit of a break between the spooky ones, while still keeping you immersed in the supernatural. It keeps your imagination flowing.

[@AntlersAndAcorns]

The only creepypasta photo that genuinely scared me to the point I have NEVER felt fear like that ever again in my life no matter what I do to recreate it was smile dog but not the black and white husky the mostly all red one that's even more terrifying, it was late at night when I was like 11 or something and I've never felt that feeling ever since, I can't even describe how it felt it was so bad

[@Itz-Orny777]

Great video as always! Also, as a hobby writer, I'd like to offer some aspiring creepy pasta writers some advice on how to write something that's actually really good. as well as how to genuinely make it scary and believable instead of generic and amateurish. So first, look at badly written ones and pick out the moments they broke your immersion, or where they stopped being scary to you and think about why. imma give you an example here so you know how to do it: Let's take the Smiley face one (the yellow one) and see where it breaks immersion and why. so my timestamp would be where it drove people mad that saw it. so why? Well, it's unreasonable to believe that a creepy gif with gore in it would drive people mad. so now that we focused on this. let's think about a better solution for this one. so what could be really creepy of an effect this could give to people that both isn't unreasonable but also is still out of the ordinary? well lets take 2 ideas here that could both play off of psychological effects irl, but also could work through subtlety. so let's say that instead, the gif would make people act slightly weird but in a very difficult to describe way. the narrator could talk about this for example like he found his friend's history of a deleted post with a broken image file or its a screenshot that talks about someone else saying that the picture made them feel really weird but brushing it off as just the contents being creepy and disturbing. maybe it could have more of an effect on the person than usual gore and he could speculate it maybe being because the particular picture of gore in it just made him feel bad because he had a bad day. now you set up someones expection to play into this. if someone is told something makes them feel particularily weird, they'll possibly subconchiously self induce that feeling mentally without knowing. so you made it more real for the reader too. now lets add some dimension to it. vaguely describe the gore parts visuals but in a vague enough way to make the reader scared by their own imagination while also playing off of ideas that aren't too clieche. maybe describe it like this: i only saw it very briefly, but it was basically a blurry pictzure of what looked like a corpse at night. the colors had a strange hue to it though. like the lighting was just off. and the face just didn't look right either, it looked like the victim was looking at the camera. it could've almost been a smile but its hard to recall. its making me feel creeped out even just imagining it again. it just looked off. the lighting, the pose and the facial expression. so much so i dont even remember details about the injury itself. i just want to unsee it now. but its just so bad. I wish i never saw it. if you see this image, i'm sorry. it may just be me being a whimp or something, but seriously. i wouldn't want anyone to feel like this." something like that would be good practice basically. take a bad creepy pasta, and try to play around with it and write down some ideas to alter it to be more creepy as practice. also ask for feedback too if you can. let people tell you what you did well and what could be better and use that to make your practice stories better. and when thats done u can make your own. now, if you wanna use a picture, be creative. ofc if its a original photo you took and edited yourself, it's also very beneficial. now use that as inspiration for your story. what did you take a photo of? and what edits did you make? do the edits look obvious? if so let that play into the story too. like for example if you made a scp, list the item as a edited photo. but most of all be creative with it. and for that scp's are actually great. because scp use incredibly effective ways to make their scps be interesting so analizing existing ones is a good start. they can also be very specific. like the livbing drawing one and its unique personality, attitude and ability. or just a cool magical concept like the vending machine that can give you anything in liquid form where it could be a blessing and a curse just by you imagining what you could do with it if it was real. or the infinite ikea one. taking something everyone kinda knows and has experience with and taking a part of it that is a universal feeling and twisting it into something really scary. aka ikeas size and architecture making it feel like a huge maze you can easily get lost in and making it so its size is upscaled to lovecraftian levels where its becoming dangerous adding the securty guards at night an extra fear since they behave like night securty would irl but making it slightly off to be scary. and then adding a narrative to it. that one in particular does also have kind of fantastic world building. but thats also what makes it so good because it allows you to be immersed in it for a while with its story. so take these aspects into account to shape your own stories and ideas. So as you can see, you just gotta learn what makes good scary stories scary by doing your homework on that so to speak and what makes other stories fail to be scary. things like unreasonable in story character reactions like being driven mad by a random image online for no reason. or images or videos featuring overly shocking things just to scare a reader. and the best way to also avoid that unrealistic pitfall is also to imagine yourself being in the narrators situation and if their reaction would make sense from your reaction. would you rather shrug off a game's weird glitches as just a broken piece of hardware or a hack and not be too scared off it based on knowing these possibilities? if so imagine what would scare you in the case it is a hacked game. maybe the hack related game alterations can'tz be found online by others experiencing it too in hacked games. maybe theres an image attached that you can't find online making the hack's contents unexplainable and unique to your copy. just by imagining what you'd do and trying to find realistic ways to make it scary to you can help you write a really good story. but this comment is long enough already. hope this advice is helpful. and hey if you wanna reply to my comment with a story of your own id be happy to give you feedback on it too if you'd like! writing can be hard to do right. but practice always makes perfect. remember that. and maybe some day your story may end up on a iceberg video some day too! after all, just using this approach would already make yours far better than the "iconic" ones on here, and thats good motivation to do your best.

@@BlckstoneV1 ansolutely do. I mean It kinda happens naturally tbh. But it‘s just so fun to me as well! Not to mention that many ppl don‘t offer advice like that so openly wich is a shame. Many ppl get really strong hate online for writing bad stuff, and I get why ppl get annoyed by that stuff. But at the same time ppl just need to realize that nobody will be a perfect writer from the start. If I‘d give you a quick example, i used to write sentences like: „and then she walked up the stairs to the balcony to yet again watch the city lights in the dark. Feeling sad.“ and once I learned a lot about how to write with more passion and artistic intent, i‘d instead write that like: „her hands would tremble slightly as she clasped onto the railing of the stairs. They felt heavy just walking on them. Not to stairs but her feet as she gragged herself up practically. Feeling as if her issues were tearing her down alongside the gravital forces of the world. The one that was judging her around every corner and would never let her make any mistakes in peace. Yet she‘d still go upwards to that balcony just to drown her sorrows in the artificial stars of the city in the forms of lights and signs that‘d flare up and drown the sky in light polluted grey fog. It was always distracting enough so she could regain some stability. But still the sadness would never truely fade from her. Even the thick light polluted skies couldn‘t stop that. Because those worries were so much stronger than a pretty scene. No matter how beautiful the world was. No matter how sweet the skyline and how dreamy the feeling of getting lost in it‘s lit up glory. In the end it could turn into her own little concrete graveyard. If she only ever took it far enough to not just sulk in her misery. But take action in it. And maybe that was the most terrifying thing. To know how close she always felt to losing it all. And knowing how easily she could just give up. It was terrifyingly beautiful. And that was also what made it so terrifying. Because seeing beauty in it made it so attractive in the first place.“ And that‘s another long reply lol. Well but that‘s what I mean by writing well. You just gotta get lost in the character and write it like you‘re constructing a painting. There‘s so many parts that form the picture in a written scene and the better you get at constructing it, the more enjoyable will ppl find it to read. But that‘s just my own experience. :)

bro smile dog scared me once too when I was 10 and scrolling through KZbin late at night then the deep fried smile dog popped up on one of the thumbnails...

[@Alles2007]

I’ve watched two of your videos and you seem to be a really fun channel to listen to about creepy pastas and other horror stories I’m happy to say I’m subscribed.

[@NathanKasey]

Green eyed Jeff creeps me out the most out of all the Jeff pics ngl

[@dan5992]

idk if it is just me, but the "gif" creepypasta would honestly be a lot scarier if they did not include the "skinned and mutilated" part. the idea of someone making some creepy gif like that is believable enough to be scary. As soon as I heard that the people who saw it were skinned and mutilated I just kind of sighed because it ruins the immersion lol. It reminded me of the "toymaker" story of the guy on Steam who sent some file/link pretending to be a message that'd launch some intense screamer and completely brick your device, along with some other things.

[@Zockanumber1]

I think thats the case with a lot if not most creepypastas. They are so unneccessarily edgy that it becomes ridiculous instead of being scary

[@mandela663]

I heard a different story of smiledog. Here it is: So there was a old man who hurt his dog daily until the dog ( smile dog ) snapped and killed his owner. In the photo, you can see a hand and a person behind the dog. Smile dog snapped and killed his owner and smiled widly in the photo. That's what i heard. I personally like this story because it sounds right.

[@grimmscuriosities9411]

Gods, The Portraits pisses me off. not because it's bad, or anything like that, but because I'm pretty sure it isn't a creepypasta. I used to listen to tons of audiobook story compilations from Librivox, mostly from the late 19th century and early 20th. Stuff from H.P. Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood, authors like that. And I swear to god I heard a very similar, but slightly longer, story in one of those audiobooks, but I can't find it now. So now every time I hear it I'm overcome with a need to track down the original.

[@zalybrainlessgenius503]

The same with the window tapping girl. I've heard that story as a child multiple times, except that the girl was a doll

[@misseselise3864]

it’s an urban legend

[@Pr1mer66]

Last night at like 12 am I was falling asleep to this video on my TV and when smile dog appeared, my dog started barking at my tv😰

[@spindleclown]

I love this! Excited for more.

[@Sacrow]

Glad you like it.

[@RedSpade37]

Jeff always shows up when I least expect him, haha. Jeff, SmileDog, and SlenderMan should go on adventures together.

[@skyshunts]

The red image of smile dog origin was recently found but the other version of it still isn't found

[@devilsorchard1449]

If Jeff The Killer didn't have that picture attached to it, it would've been doomed to obscurity like thousands of other Creepypastas. It's not scary and poorly written, it just has a good image to go along with it.

[@Random-guy-on-yt]

Not only is the image good, it’s fucking nightmare fuel for kids like me who had unrestricted internet access when I was 9 🙃

[@fifox2348]

Oddly enough, the image that (from what I remember) has scared me the most probably won’t even be on this iceberg. It’s the old image for SCP-106. Something about it was and kind of still is so unnerving. It doesn’t help that there’s no known source for the image.

[@mikeerrmantrout6350]

Bro you sent me on a carousel to my deep inner childhood fears, I vividly remember watching culturecrash and seeing that image, it was one of the reasons I got into SCP but lost interest due to my personal tastes growing from it

[@phyllojoe5346]

Always happy to see a new video from you!

[@UltraCenterHQ]

"The Gif" literally just looks like those roblox memes where they photoshop the roblox girl face on random things 😂

[@fluffcake]

These recent videos your doing give me TatsTops vibes. Were you inspired by them? The format you tell these stories are really clean and nice to comprehend. Nice job!

[@misseselise3864]

intentionally or not, i’m glad they’re making videos similar to tats tops videos since they don’t post much anymore

[@MonkeMan2.0]

I remember watching their videos and being scared by them, their narrators and music is what really made those stories intriguing as a child, even the photos also helped the scare factor. I still come by just to watch their videos and sometimes I still feel that fear, but other times I put it on as background (idk why).

[@DrLiam-fg6wd]

not even 10 seconds in and I thought of an MGR joke, but still, keep this up dude! I love your content Images.... the gateway to the soul

[@jen4551]

Not sure if it falls under creepypasta, but the only image i cant stand to look at its the Have You Seen this man in your dreams? image. Everytime i look at it my heart drops

[@bingobo2551]

Not related to this but I find it funny that the fact I think the harbinger experiment as more of a ritual creepypasta than an experinent creepypasta

[@spacex6997]

Your videos are good for watching before sleep.

[@IndigenousRealGuy]

Fellow Meatball bröther!

[@emilyjuneofficialyt]

To be honest, some of these Creepypastas have been ruined after some kids and teens romanticize these characters who are supposed to be evil.

[@emberkitsune]

I love how there’s just a Jeff the Killer jumpscare every transition

[@orangeandblackattack4946]

What's crazy is I couldn't finish this video I got so creeped out. What a wimp I am!

[@aeronboi5552]

This is a pure nostalgia trip

[@shiba2ndworlder]

I waited a long time for this to be covered. Nice vid.

[@user-zs9ux1ru8u]

You sound like a younger version of BlameitonJorge, good video btw

[@cyanity1017]

19:55 I remember my English teacher using this story on Halloween as an example of a topic I can't remember, but this story is like a childhood classic for me.

[@TheCakesCup26]

Smile dog was the last thing on the internet that truly scared me, It actually kept me up at night.

[@nanaminanachu]

Mine was Jeff the Killer. I tried to forget that image until this video.

[@kingoffire105]

I hate that picture, it's so disturbing!

[@Cryinginthecloudssss]

I used to listen to creepypastas during English while doing my work. the one I remember the most is Valentine’s Day. I actually had some dreams about that one. And from what I remember it was a pretty good story

[@miramuchachito296]

Oh man i said it before but i will repeat myself: i'm obssessed with the piano intermezzos . They are brilliant, kind of scary. I love them 👏

[@someguy2401]

i hate the smile dog photo even though yknow its fake it just gives me the chills

[@snookboi6025]

finally been waiting all day for this

[@SlyMonie]

Can’t wait to see part 2! Hopefully Satan Sphinx is on there

[@LosZavion]

There is an image I remember of a picture of a dog staring at you, that's in a yellow background. (not smile dog)If you look at the picture long enough, it will start to warp and distort. For the life of me, I can't find it anywhere. It was a creepypasta video on YT but it was on an old account, I forgot the PW too.

[@c0sm1c-d0ll]

My visual memory is extremely strong, which becomes a problem when an image freaks me out. To this day I can't sleep with my bedroom door open because I'll start seeing creepy stuff I remember in the dark hallway. Funny how that only makes me MORE interested in image-based horror...

[@bingobo2551]

Any chance you could talk about gaming or lost episode creeptpastas that use an image to add some more life kinda like boothworld industry, as an entry like the creepypasta survival guide book in the ritual pasta iceberg, such as ben drowned, dead bart & nes godzilla/NG replay?

[@ryancronwell6368]

"The infamous Blue screen" that's my computer every 2 hours buddy.

[@tthheettrraasshhppiitt]

So glad to see Anomaly on here. Legit one of my favorite pastas ever.

[@ampharos3106]

finally a nice calm and relaxing video to watch before bed

[@Eyetrauma]

9:23 Love those GIFs that play sound

[@schawangus]

Fun fact: the old lady in the “Charlie Noonan’s Last Photo” part of the Anomaly creepypasta is Virginia Romero, a super kickass woman from New Mexico. She’s this really small, lightweight native woman who’s constantly working to keep up her land on the reservation. She’s just so cool

[@banjogyro]

Cool my favorite are Funnymouth, The Girl In The Picture, and the one where Siberian Russians find God and flayed his skin

[@Pystoria]

Good day when Sacrow uploads

[@rebecca2583]

some kid told me to look up smile dog in elementary school and it scared me so bad that i had to make my mom close out the tab/delete the search bc i couldn’t look at it

[@MandyDeadite]

The perfect video to watch as I play stardew valley! Yay!

[@raisnhed]

Smile Dog is the only one that genuinely terrified me. Even to this day when I see either of the pictures I feel really uneasy. It’s like I’m looking at something I’m not supposed to.

[@Alexfilms_03]

Everyone wake up Sacrow posted a new video

[@KARIMENT.]

The images end up being scarier than the actual story 😂

[@v444lentine]

ughh the silent hill music makes this all so much better

[@alkv7604]

Something i do to try and "take out the fear" of the smile dog and jeff images (and others too) is to try and make things funny, like the first smile picture "dude take the picture! Im tired of trying to smile this long" and the second one "TAKE THE F-ING PICTURE!" Or the jeff one "you got games on your phone?"

[@Marinko_09]

nice vid and the re2 music... really sets the vibe

[@TheCheese06z]

I think Jeff the Killer is only scary because it was attached to screamer videos. However when I see him I'm like oh! Marilyn Manson!

[@Haxfixxel]

when i saw the image i legitamently found it funny due to it litterally looking like the pufferfish eating a carrot- i can also imagine the image with peter griffins laugh- idk- XD

[@npc4570]

The squidward pic scared me so much and I'm so embarrassed for it

[@liamh3710]

32:11 “The best I can do is $50. I just don’t think the photographs add any value to it and I gotta sell it”

[@obsessiveduck0911]

(48 minutes ago after this is posted) Omg im usually never this early. Hope this video gets a lot of views and likes i rlly enjoyed it. Keep making iceberg content plz

[@slugmoment9595]

I've been waiting for this for long time
