I'm going to tell you something that's going to blow your mind. @ NonSpecificGuy NonSpecificGuy has liked every single post on this thread and, to my knowledge, everywhere else. He even liked flames and trolls. Now, we have reached a monumental moment. He didn't like a post. Your post. You post was so spoilery and awful, NonSpecificGuy didn't like it. Congratulations on making such an evil post.
:p

I pledge to main Mewtwo (even though I already main four characters) I shall psystrike fear into the hearts of everyone. Hopefully this doesn't cause "confusion".

So I decided to expand all the spoiler tags I possibly could. It only let me expand 19 spoiler tags before defaulting into non-expandable spoiler tags. They were replaced by their text equivalents.

Oh, God, Spirst. Your new avatar scared the crap out of me. I was just scrolling down the page and then BAM! *Shudders* Didn't help that I was alone.
In my room.
With the lights out.

At night.
Ah, what's so bad abo-

It's this super graphic manga that got adapted into an anime. Basically, it takes place in a fantastical medieval Europe-like world, and focuses on these two guys that fight demons. It's also a lot about whether or not humans are naturally evil or good, among other subjects. I personally vouch for naturally evil, but that's just me. If you wanna read more, check this out.

A lot of the posts during this and the last page have pretty much been spam. Considering how awesome the spoon sword is, there isn't an excuse for all of the image only/under 10 chars/emocon only posts on this page.

The wait for Mewtwo sucks but I do have to ask you all to tone it down a notch.



Ooooookay.
Same goes for you @ Spirst Spirst :smirk:

Ah, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, classic. Takes me back. Picked up the hardback collection at Borders(R.I.P.) some years ago.
I myself used that same image for my FB profile pic around Halloween.

The stories themselves were rather average (though still good) but the Stephen Gammell illustrations were what left the biggest impact on me and just about everyone else. It's quite unfortunate that contemporary society seems to have this idea that children must be shielded from every little thing. So now, instead of having these amazingly stylized pieces with a lot of atmosphere, we have boring generic ones.

Check out the comparisons to see just how much it's been neutered.

Preachin' to the choir, dude, those books were some of the highlights of my elementary days.
Some of my favorite pics were:

I have Stephen Gammell and R.L. Stine to thank for turning me into the nightmare fetishist(as TVTropes calls it) that I am today. What an appropriate 666th post!

I don't get why the illustrations had to be toned down but the stories are still ok. It's fine that little jimmy is reading about a scarecrow skinning people because we commissioned an otherwise good artist to do clip art for the illustration.

I loved those books as a kid. Stories are just old folktales that aren't particularly scary, but those illustrations are great. I loved some of the joke ones at the end of each book, such as 'The Viper'.

Holy crap! I didn't even realize that was from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark until you mentioned it. God, I loved that book. When I was kid, I used to scare myself silly by reading the stories late at night. And I agree, the biggest reason I was scared was because of those horrifying illustrations.
Except for Harold. That story was scary enough on its own. It didn't need an illustration to give me nightmares. The funny part is, it actually didn't scare me as a kid because I didn't know what "skinning" someone meant. When I went back and read it as a slightly older kid, it gave me the heebie-jeebies like nothing else I've ever read or seen. I love scary stories, but that one was particularly freaky for me, looking back. Wouldn't go near scarecrows for awhile after that one >_<.

I-I don't even know what to say. I loved those illustrations, as creepy as they were, but whoever authorized the use of these pictures butchered them. There's nothing wrong with shielding kids from some things, and it's definitely necessary in some cases, but this is ridiculous. Shielding kids to this extent is actually worse for them, I would argue. The real world will hit them like a cannonball, and they won't know what to do about it. Besides that, it's not like the illustrations were mind-numbingly gruesome. They're just creepy. Nothing wrong with scaring yourself a little bit.

I absolutely loved that one, but Bloody Fingers is where it's at, man. It was hilariously stupid.
