This bar for Monsters has Strange Rules

[@VexedVergil]

It's kinda glaring how this was easily avoided, if when the card is scanned, and it fails, to have a system automatically notify management and/or lock down the vip area. Especially if management knew there were mind controlling creatures that exist (hence the rule not to look the customer in the eye)

[@MompreneurDiary]

Right AND the manager being OFF site...🙄 should have been a backup on hand at all times. Especially if its this dangerous

Man, you're hands down my favorite of all the creepypasta/no sleep story telling channels, with Dark Somnium as a high 2nd. While is usually just listen to these, I really appreciate actually getting to see you tell the story. That and all the images and clips you show relating to the story really adds a nice extra touch. The effort you put into these videos is much appreciated and doesn't go unnoticed!

Really enjoyed that one. Thirty years ago our vip room had rules also. Mostly about what to do in case of an overdose or jealous boyfriend/girlfriend situation. It was pretty calm for the most part, but our bouncer was a mountain of a man that moved quicker than a 5yr old on a sugar binge. It was a good job, and I enjoyed the perks. I also followed the rules.

Outstanding! Love this! The rules were a big part, but not 90% of the story. SO good... and Stephen is just the perfect narrator.

[@MageMinionsOP]

I wouldn't even say it's a rules story at this point. A key to rules stories is there is no story and breaking rules is just a catalyst for spooky things to happen. They're kind of like the teen slasher or haunted house of the creepypasta genre, low effort, made for scares, not a good story. As creepypastas go, this is a pretty good short story I could see in a published collection of spooky stories. Disguising it as a rules story might even be a strategy to lower expectations then surprise the reader with an actual story.

My question is how the hell does Brenda receive these texts or text back😂😂like does she have a voice🤔

[@DustinBarlow8P]

I'm wondering if I could get her digits! I D&D nerded out when she appeared, because (if nobody is aware) there are dark elves (drow) that worship a Spider goddess and when this spider goddess gives her blessing, half of your body turns into a Spider. A whole lot of fun. I really like when Fantasy monsters find their way into real life stories.

I’m so glad Brenda has more freedom in dealing with problem customers in the end. Honestly I thought the moment she was described she was going to intervene before they got to the room.
