š¤”creepypastasš¤”
so just a word on creepypastas - people I tell always laugh at that name but I tell them that a creepypasta is like a modern urban legend. I have been listening to the “creepy” podcast on the bloody disgusting network and the more I listen and the more I read I find it so hard to believe that anyone would continue to make stupid horror movies. there are an endless amount of creepypastas that could be either the seeds of a movie or a full blown film or tv show.
I am loving channel zero on the syfy channel - it is an anthology series where each 6 episode season is based on or inspired by a creepypasta. so far they have made: candle cove, no-end house and butcher’s block (inspired by the story search and rescue). the vibe of the show is amazing, the graphic design is so good. really well made, high production value and shot beautifully. I just listened to a story today called “the pastel man” that was so eerie, its stuck with me.
I know this blog is about scary movies - I just wish they would make more movies based on creepypastas. perhaps its a rights issue - finding the author to give credit or buy the story, I don’t know how all that works. but there is fucking great material out there being written all the time. and I always just love to suspend my disbelief and imagine “what if this could be real?” good shit.
lately
i haven’t been very active on tumblr or anywhere online lately (which seems to be how i start each of the past few entries on this and scariest). i’ve been working just about full time, building relationships and working on my recovery. i feel a lot of gratitude lately and it is a wonderful way to exist moment to moment. there are hard times and i am just grateful to have a lot of really supportive people in my life that are kind and wise and lovely. who knows where i am going with this train of thought, i just wanted to talk a little.
other things that are exciting right noe are joe hill’s new book, the fireman, having a long weekend with my boyfriend, dan, the prospect of getting a new doggie in a couple of months, an upcoming trip to new york, walking and talking with a new friend and not the hot weather. the hot weather is not exciting right now.
