The PAYNEful PodSPLOSION #06 – Creepypastaganza

PAYNEful Podcast 06It’s a funny thing, Halloween. It’s an American tradition that, through copious amounts of exported television, has embraced our dank British shores and seems to have taken root like some sort of gnarled evil tree.

Personally, I actually hate scary things, and yet I have a contradictory interest in the creepy or macabre1. One of my particular fascinations is with the popular internet phenomenon of “creepypasta“, of which I have penned2 two: “The Pained Man” and “Pulling the Plug” (make of them what you will, your mileage may vary).

As a bit of fun, I sat down with Sam to read some random creepypastas culled from the online cesspool of the web. We cast scorn as appropriate. I’ve linked to them all below if you want to read along!

This week’s video accompaniment is from the recently-released horror game The Evil Within. Enjoy as I get chased by a maniac with a chainsaw!

Listener beware…you’re in for a scare…3

  1. This might stem from the fact that I used to read/watch Goosebumps, and I was also quite fond of Are You Afraid of the Dark and Eerie, Indiana. My family had Sky TV, I was a lucky kid!
  2. “Pen” is a loose term these days, and is the fancy shorthand for “tapped out quickly on a computer keyboard”.
  3. Also please don’t sue us R. L. Stine, ta!
  4. Incidentally the website actually exists, and no I’m not linking to it. I don’t think my Google rank can get lower than it is but I don’t want to try!
