I, for the life of me, have no clue why people read creepypasta's and watch horror movies.
I read bad/watch bad creepypastas/horror movies for laughs, like @ Substitution Substitution
I read good/watch good creepypastas/horror movies for thrills and suspenseful stories.

Nothing wrong with Creepypastas really, they're just like a lot of other writing, you have to filtered through the crap to find the good ones.

A snail character would actual be very interesting in the Sonicverse. Not as a cut & paste on an anthropomorphic mammalian body though.
They have a bee character that's basically a cut and paste of the anthropomorphic mammalian body

The most terrible Creepypastas are the '[insert name of cartoon]: Lost Episode' ones. They're always the same.

I, for the life of me, have no clue why people read creepypasta's and watch horror movies.
For creepypasta, it's primarily the story telling part of it. I think everybody has a BS story that they shared with their friends as a kid and this is just a form of it. They're usually short too so even people who aren't that confident in their writing abilities can try to take a stab (pun intended) at them too. Horror movies are pretty easy access too. A lot of notable actors, actresses, and directors got their start in horror because the expectations for it are the lowest. Most action and romance movies follow a specific formula while horror can be all over the place and produce such hilarious disasters as Snakes on a Plane and Sharknado. Horror has more potential for creativity than any other genre if you ask me and I think on a basic level it's easier to relate to. For romance, not everybody has experienced love and for action not everybody has experienced excitement (or at least high levels of it) but I feel everybody has experienced fear because it's a basic instinct. This then begs the question of what is causing the fear and then the possibilities endlessly branch out from there.

On this topic, I also highly recommend reading the essay by Stephen King called "Why We Crave Horror Movies" because I feel that he explains the universal appeal of horror far better than I could.

I'll admit, Sharknado has to be one of the best worst movies to ever exist.

Pokémon creepypastas besides "Lavender Town Syndrome" are usually crap from my experience. Sadly though, its the reason why video game creepypastas are banned on the wiki which sucks because I've got a few ideas brewing for some good Zelda CP's

'Ash In A Coma' is pretty good.

Bonus points if said creepypasta mentions something about nostalgia, growing up, or catch-penny Satanic themes.

I feel Squidward's Suicide is a shining pinnacle of the lost episode storyline. The witness account and the setting make the dynamics of the subject of suspense more interesting and believable.

...Until you realize it makes a reference to hyper-realistic blood.

But when it uses it, it isn't played for squick or uses it in excess. Its intended for climatic effect.

I feel like Mr. Creepypasta explains the dramatic device of blood much better in one of his videos.
I dunno. It could just be that I've seen too many creepypastas that use the term far too much.
But it needs to be an established rule that "hyper-realistic blood" should never be used ever.

So guys, I've got a legit question! Whatever happened to that so called "war" against the admins on Miiverse?

Speaking of godawful Sonic OCs, have I mentioned the Hedgehog game in here? Just google *your name* the hedgehog and post the worst offender (but only if it's SWF of course). Here's what I got:



This is what I got

There seems to be 2 different hedgehogs with the same name with multiple fan art by different people

Edit: The image is broken???

That character sure is original, right? Oh, wait.
