Creepypastas are some of the most memorable stories you'll find online. The name comes from copypasta, because creepypastas share the trait of being reposted everywhere online, but for very different reasons. Instead of mimicking spam or a niche form of humor, they're made to scare people, even if only a little. Some are mildly creepy, while others are a lot more unsettling or even involve elaborate viral hoaxes. And all of the best creepypastas have left a lasting mark on the people who have read them, because they're each composed well enough to leave some disturbing thoughts in our heads(...)

Putting The Backrooms above Jeff the Killer (and not making JtK #1) is atrocious. Garbage list, I think I saw the same exact ranking ten years ago, minus the backrooms.

1999?

NES Godzilla?

Normalpornfornormalpeople.com?

Ted the Caver???

Ted the Caver???

I agree. Ted the caver was an obvious choice. NoEnd House as well.

While i don't agree on the order this other list may be better after all:

Ted the Caver is great. Man, NoEnd House is, too. That story scared me so much, I may finish it tonight after 10 years

They've also made a tv serie with different crepypasta in each season, included noendhouse. https://lemmy.world/post/1802520

Oh wow, I saw Channel Zero season 1 when it was airing. Had no idea it had continued or become an anthology. Man, this post has killed and dreams of productivity I had this weekend
