"The Road to Nowhere" Scary Stories from The Internet | Creepypasta

[@maledictionwolf]

I think that SFX break to show our narrator getting out of the car to open the hood was really well done, and a great way to fill out a (admittedly minimal) gap in the narration. Kudos, DS!

[@Darksomnium]

thank you :)

[@rofflesvanwagon]

The whining sound of the car breaking down gave me anxiety hahah. I've heard that in real life too much

[@nrg6245]

He’s been so good at that over the years. Best FX on KZbin

[@taylorwilliams416]

For real I haven’t come across another narrating channel that puts as much time and effort into there work. I look forward to hearing every story any time I get the notification that a new video is up. I wish you would do a huge series of some kind or a hella long story so I can listen to my hearts content considering I’ve literally listened to every video on hear lol. Also does thumbing up videos do anything special for you or is it just something you like to see?

[@riphopfer5816]

If you really admire his meticulousness in constructing his narrations, why not follow his example-even a little bit-and take the time to learn what differentiates ‘there’ from ‘their’? Take some pride in how you come across in your writing.

[@finnthroop8301]

It’s sad that the creepy pasta horror genre on KZbin has turned so much to action which doesn’t give off the same feels without visuals, but while the other channels are slowing making it hard to listen to the horror genre, DS is still over here making Bonechilling stories readings. Much appreciated DS, keep up the great work!

[@rowenahaps8514]

“More like a parody of what some may assume a country accent should sound like.. if that makes any sense”… literally every southerner feels this way when we here non southerners trying to mimic our accents lol Nothing beats the real thing. Loved this story!

[@strawberryj3lly]

As a southern I can agree. My accent isn’t that strong it’s only the ppl that live bumfucnowhere with those types. My accent only appears with certain words.

[@bethmoore7722]

Oh, yeah. A lot of people don’t know how many Southern accents you hear from Texas to the Atlantic coast. Arkansas is much different from South Carolina, for instance. Hearing actors try to do it always sounds contrived.

[@Ilovecheesecakebaby]

NC breed and I agree to this lol

[@Erock1900]

THANK YOU! I grew up right where north meets south in the US and everyone from the north says I sound like a redneck. But every ACTUAL redneck in my family says I talk better than most of the Yankees they know. I mean, seriously, the slightest hint of a southern accent and they act like there's a twang, a drawl, AND a bottle of moonshine all laid out in front of them. It's borderline insane!

[@cheefqueef6494]

I bet you support Trump too

[@vipric81]

This guy is still the GOAT. He’s come so far from when I started watching. This guy is a W. So glad I found you a while back and could follow your channel as it grew.

[@ArDeeMee]

It honestly feels sooo good having an MC that doesn‘t treat losing a limb like the end of the f-ing world. He is so accepting of the fact that things happened, and values his life more than a limb. He is alive. Life goes on. That‘s just reality. So many authors ignore that. Also, spoilers, I guess. Sorry. I just couldn‘t hold back pointing out an immensely positive attitude in an MC.

[@polincgoku6658]

Not there yet (not gunna be a dick about muh spoilers) but a buddy of mine lost his hands and early acceptance and making jokes saved him from the darkness.

[@blueismylove3128]

It's the comment section where you discussed the video at hand. Anyone worried about spoilers shouldn't be reading the comments.

[@alexchristina6368]

Yeah that was refreshing he’s only lucky to be alive

[@vanessaashford9203]

Jack, the main character of the popular "Tales from the Gas Station" nosleep series loses a leg below the knee at the end of the first storyline and isn't especially bothered by it (although seeing as how he practically lives at a small-town gas station that is constantly beset by all kinds of eldritch horrors, and that he suffers from Fatal Familial Insomnia and is literally incapable of sleeping, and is dying slowly because of it, it only makes sense that losing a limb would be far from the worst thing he's had to deal with) (btw, if anyone cares, this isn't really much of a spoiler considering it has very little to do with the overall plot)

[@blueismylove3128]

Also, I think it's weird you think people writers shouldn't write characters with that reaction. The "reality" is that its a very realistic and understandable reaction to have given that it's a traumatic and often life changing experience. Being upset doesn't mean you value a limb more than your life. Many authors will over time make the character accept what they've lost and THEN they'll realize life goes on. It's really weird how this story is written were he accepts it immediately cause that's just not have most people work. It's something you'd process.

[@fairsaa7975]

Really glad to see another creature feature, these are my favourite types of stories!

[@Mycatisinapiano]

Wow this story is like a fever dream and you absolutely nailed the narration.

[@lostagain2226]

NICE MORLEY REFERENCE! I commissioned a Morley hat and love it. Nobody ever knows what it's referencing and that kinda breaks my black little heart. I personally find the historic significance of the "Morley brand" both funny and fascinating for whatever reason. It has obviously tickled my pickle to hear it mentioned here, a proper ode to those who came before.

[@imagine778]

Dang Rom, you always manage to sound so terrifying in Dark’s stories lmaoo. this was terrifyingly good as usual, great job you guys.❤️

[@raystewart3648]

Did not expect that at all. Thought it be just a dead person driving another dead person. You hear that happening all the time, people picking up what they think are hitch hikers, only to turn around to find that the hitch hiker has vanished. Maybe the old hag was dead and she was angry that she was dead. However never thought about her as a vampire or what ever she was. Fantastic.

[@MemeMachine-po9zo]

She's like a road siren

[@Piledriver2006]

More like road Baba Yaga

[@curnott6051]

It could be supernatural. Or the old lady could've just been a druggie tripping out on some homemade cigarette's that she filled with stuff that had no right going in a cigarette. Crack-head powers do seem like they border on the supernatural sometimes.

[@robertstrong6639]

What a gripping, terrifyingly rush of a story! The music and richly detailed description of the fast action stretched out the car struggle part longer than just a movie alone could to squirming effect!

The sound effect usage and occasional use of music is freaking perfect on this channel. The sounds work to pull you into a given situation, whether that is touring heaven, or getting attacked by a hitcher demon. You will feel the panic, the fear, the realizations, the music won't let you escape it. Art is supposed to evoke emotions, and the consistently high quality delivery ensures that this channel has the best sound effects ever put to creepypastas.

Ok, I know I been MIA for a little bit, but I had to comment on this one!! You did such an amazing job here, it was like watching a movie!! Your narration of course is never less than stellar, your sound design is unmatched, and the music is always only exactly what is needed and exquisitely curated to the scene and circumstance!! You are a MASTER of your craft and it shows in all of the fine details!! ROMNEX!!!! YOU A WHOLE ACTRESS!!! That was another Oscar -worthy performance and I have a hard time even comprehending the work you put in! Your voicework here has turned a story into an experience!! Your ability to BECOME these characters is what sets you two apart as a narrative duo! These epic productions are a stark reminder that the Somnium/Romnex/BDS triumvirate is the PINNACLE of audio horror/scifi, and I really hope the rest of the internet can fully come to appreciate the sheer quality we are graced with!! I swear my Horror Story Greatest Hits playlist is just a carbon copy of you guys' collective "videos" page!! Thank you so much for sharing your immense talent with all of us!!

Another solid tip: invest in AAA. Well worth the $88 a year. Free towing, lockout service, battery jumpstarts, no matter what state you're in. I was in Bumfuck Nowhere, Kansas, at night, getting gas at a station that was closed but had 24hr pumps, and my asshole dog locked me out of my car. AAA sent a locksmith from the next town to rescue me. Worth 10x the price right there. ✅️

Great narration as usual. My man you are the best. I actually have a creepily similar tale. About 20 years ago I left my factory job at 11:30 pm only for my clunker Pontiac 3000 to finally give up the ghost. I started walking home, a good 20 more miles. Only one person actually came by, a morbidly obese woman in an S-10, totally top less and delivering newspapers at 2 am. As I live in southeastern Arkansas he accent was indeed grotesquely southern. I politely declined the ride.
