The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

[shamanicshaymin]

Oh god oh god oh god. How did I go from researching sex this morning to being all "LULZ LET'S WATCH CREEPYPASTA"? With all that buildup of watching scary shit, Puri decided it wasn't a good idea to go to bed while it was dark. So she stays up all night. Which come to think of it, that might be a worse idea for two reasons: A. Don't want to lie in bed awake at midnight? Yeah, anywhere between 3-5 AM is sooooooooooo much better. B. Staying up late now reminds me of the Russian Sleep Experiment. Which I know is technically impossible and would only happen in a King/Lovecraftian short story or something, but still.

For some reason, suicidemouse.avi disturbs me. I know this "lost footage" is clearly bogus. I know it's a short clip looped over and over again by some guy at 4chan. I know the "creepy melody" at the beginning of the video is a short classical piece played in reverse. I know the screams and moaning come from L4D2 or something. But I still can't get over how unnerving the audio is. Just... brrr. The "music" and screams/static/gale blowing is what makes the video so uncomfortable for me. The footage could've easily been accompanied by something sad (if I hadn't known better, I could've easily applied Gary Jules' take on "Mad World.") but NOPE. The way the same six buildings distorts reminds me of a cross between Giygas's battle screen and the witch barriers in Madoka. Speaking of Madoka, it'd make sense if suicidemouse.avi was a witch barrier, and the guy driven to suicide was actually influenced by a Witch's Kiss. "Real suffering is not known", eh? Not unless you form a contract with Kyubey and become a magical girl, since "being meguca is suffering" and all that. Oh boy, and Mickey's face becomes a cloudy mess of nothing, and he's still walking. :/

And now, I'm hearing things, fuck. God, I'm too afraid to look up the pasta now even if it's just to check facts. hdjgskdg aaaaaaugh I looked up way too much creepypastas this round. Why do I do this to myself, wryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy D:

Oh God, suicidemouse.avi freaked me out the first time I saw it. Though really it was the anticipation of what was coming.

...damn it, now I want to watch it again. And a bunch of other creepypasta.

I watched the video first before I read the story. Which meant I had to watch the video again just to catch what I've missed. DDD:

[sarajayechan]

D: Eep.

Suggestion: Play a funny song or something happy and catchy in the background and mute the video. Watching Mickey wander aimlessly to the Nyan Cat tune makes it slightly less horrifying. XD

Two Words: Benny Hill. ;D

Also, where would I be without Weird Al? Ahh, Mickey wandering to the tune of "You Don't Love Me Anymore"...

Oh God. I refuse to watch suicidemouse.avi. It's weird, but I'm okay with just reading creepypasta. Watching it, however, keeps me up for days. (Except the Candle Cove vids. Because constant screaming and static = lol.)

On the other hand, I'm also intensely curious, so most likely, I'll end up watching that in the middle of tonight. :|

My boyfriend thought the story was better than the video. :o Candle Cove (the original) is one of my favorites. That one hit all my nostalgia buttons (I can especially relate to the whole "Hey, does anyone remember this one show/movie, or am I just crazy?") and the twist... ouch. I agree the added bits (and sequel, which apparently missed the point about what made Candle Cove so intriguing in the first place) were unnecessary and stupid, though. The videos sound lame. :P It's so annoying when people think, "Hey, this isn't scary enough! LET'S ADD GORE/VOMIT/ALL THOSE OTHER CLICHES!!!11!1" The worst case I've heard of is a recent version where the Skin-Taker raped Janice. Yeah, because the Skin-Taker just wasn't creepy enough by himself, let's add contrived rape to shock people! *slaps own forehead*
