I know that many of you are familiar with Creepypasta and the NoSleep page on Reddit, but for those who are not... This is the first one I ever read years ago and it got me hooked. Short and simply... creepy.

Channel Zero was incredibly good, especially Candle Cove and The No-End House.
Sadly the creator's, Nick Antosca, subsequent project, Brand New Cherry Flavour, wasn't as good IMO.
Anyone have any other recommendations for good movies/shows based on Creepy Pasta?
Marble Hornets was excellent, but some of the other releases (e.g. Slender) were not that good.
I just got into marble hornets, I'm only like 20 videos in so far.
I do like it.
I spent a lot of time trying to find channel zero style productions, but I think we're out of luck.
cabinet of curiosities was like a sort of horror anthology by Guillermo del Toro, and similar in tone, but it was episode by episode rather than like a full story.
I haven't heard of cherry flavor though, I'll have to check that out.
Even though I wasn't into every season equally, the parts I did like of channel 0 were so good that it would be worth it to dig into his other stuff
Cabinet of Curiosities was indeed very good, but IMO it is conceptually different from the creepy-pasta vibe.
I liked BNCF enough to give the book a read as well. Both are a little dissapointing in different ways. The adaptation actually improves on the book in a great many areas (changes to the main antagonist being top of the list), but I still felt like they didn't quite do enough with the great scenario they'd set up for themselves. It starts horrorish and reveals to be more urban fantasy.
On the topic of creepy pasta video, the youtube channel Nightmare Masterclass does overviews of various video horror and pasta-adjacent projects. Might be a good source of new ones to check out.
Wendigoon is another popular YTer who reviews small horror media and also has a podcast where he reads and discusses creepypastas.
