The oddest things to me about the way Sonic.exe is written is 1) All of the completely out-of-place references the author uses, with how many times things like "The music sounded like X track from Y game but *creepy*" is said, and 2) How many overly specific measurements of time the author put in, like saying something happened for "7 seconds" specifically when it's highly unlikely that the protagonist would like actually count the seconds like that. As a writer myself, hearing Sonic.exe read out loud always makes me cringe so hard, lol.

It's, unironically, a very good 4 sentence horror story, even if it's written like a satire lmao. Better than 80% of the creepypastas for sure. No overexplanation, no hyperrealistic bloodshot eyes, no long, cheesy dialog, no out of the place gore, no "everyone went missing afterwards" business, no taking itself way too seriously - just pure mystery. Just "who was phone?" and no answer.

Mr Widemouth being in S and Sonic.exe in F are perfect

All of these are precious to me (yes, even Sonic.EXE) but I am underselling it when I tell you Mr. Widemouth single-handedly defined my understanding of horror when I was younger.

Man, I remember Ronald McDonald House. I was SO young when I found that, my first ever Creepypasta. I was convinced it was real. Candle Cove gave me really bad nightmares after that.

I always roll my eyes a little bit at sonic.exe.. I think it just reminds me too much of those hardcore sonic fans that are obsessed with fanfic. Written by a hardcore sonic fan who is also in love with creepypasta.. There's nothing wrong with that if you're in to it, but I start thinking of the meta, and it pulls me right out. Also, I never really noticed just how many of these creepypastas bank on "scary smile".

I’m so glad so many people are talking about creepypastas more and more over the past few years. They were such an integral part of my love for horror and strange stories. Even if some of them weren’t very good.

Wanted to give my opinion on some of the stories that stood out as good or bad. The Ronald one had so much potential it's insane. I kind of wish someone would go back and rewrite it as a story that builds up on the creep factor. Like, the social worker could have been told instead that the kids went out when they were 18 they lived really good lives. The story could have built up over time with things getting creepier and creepier, like the receptionist starting out normal to make the social worker think this place was a regular home for foster kids who couldn't be placed, but it was actually a horror house. And the ending was just... Extremely confusing, what even happened. Narrator also needs a lot of work cause we keep being told he's a bad kid, but it doesn't feel like it at all. Mr. Widemouth I can't believe how little attention it gets. Pacing is great, narrator feels like a real person, there is just enough creep factor to keep you hooked, and the ending actually has good payoff. I love having a realistic narrator whose smart and doesn't listen to these weird tasks. It makes it even better knowing at the end that other kids were not so lucky. I love the mystery of why Mr. Widemouth can tell kids to hurt themselves, but can't do it himself. I wish I could love Abandoned By Disney, but that photonegative Mickey is just... So funny.

Photonegative Mickey either makes or breaks Abandoned By Disney for people. Personally, with future context I think he’s fine. Interesting, even. But, at the time. When only the first pasta was available. It does come rather abruptly, and can come off goofy in some of the execution.

Glad u included mr. Widemouth in the thumbnail

I grew up on these creepypastas. Watching Hoodohoodlum and tatstopvideos in 6th grade. This video brought back memories, thank you for the content. Please make a 2nd one! Id genuinely pay for the next video. Growing up i knew the stories but never read them, having your video play in the background while i do mundane task brought me bliss that i havent felt in 7 or so years. Good shit brother

I like tulpa a lot it really echo’s that duality of man that stories such as doctor Jekyll and mr Hyde explore.

I am so excited. I love talking about classic creepy pastas. We have been blessed once again

I love your narration, you don't try to sound creepy or anything, your voice is just nice to listen to.

Watching this video brought me back to a simpler time. A time where a ghost in a kids game and an 8 foot man in a tuxedo were scary. Reading/listening/watching creepypastas as a kid adds a factor into the stories as well. I believe that when we are younger, we are more inclined to the unknown and the abhorrent. Enjoying these at 19 feels so much different from listening to the stories in 6th grade as a 12 year old. Everything was so much more real, and it was honestly terrifying. Please do make more of these videos. I didn't think there was still a community behind these, it's cool to meet and see other kids who grew up with early internet horror

I love the story Arizona. I'm so glad you included it. I always felt this one was way underrated.

Arizona and Abandoned by Disney have to be my absolute favorite creepypastas hands down

2:41 Honestly same. I saw an animation that was done for this story awhile back and I had no idea that it was based upon an actual creepypasta.

I hope you're doin great my scary friend, keep up the videos sacrow!

My oh my, if this isn't a perfect way to end the sunday, thanks for the treat man

Great video, can't wait for part 2

Russian Sleep Experiment was the first creepypasta I ever came across, it was a recommended video from when I was watching MK Ultra videos. I wasn't sure whether it was fake until the obvious physical impossibilities entered the picture, but I found it quite entertaining. The next one I came across was Candle Cove, which I liked even more. Sadly, it soon became evident that most creepypastas were written by and for children, but there were enough decent ones to keep me interested for awhile.

Father Sacrow has blessed us once more🎉

This video was amazing definately subbing

The original version of "Arizona" was a bit longer and had a few extra scenes, but for some reason I can't find that version anywhere online anymore.

Love the list man but could you put chapters in it? I missed hearing Arizona and thought I could just zip back to it. Appreciate all the work you do regardless. Love to see pt2

I like how characters in creepypastas are ready to vomit the second anything strange happens. They really need to change their diet or something.

Russian Sleep Experiment is a B in my book. One of the big problems I have with it is that the story doesn't do a good job of keeping count of how many test subjects there are. I'm pretty sure there's 6 deaths written out in that story (discounting the deaths of other characters), but there's only 5 test subjects. Otherwise, yeah: its stupidly iconic. I'd argue though that the premise and gorey imagery is doing a lot of the heavy lifting more than anything.

Thanks for this trip down memory lane.

The first time I saw "Smile Dog" was in a TF2 trade server as a spray on the wall

I don't know why but the Arizona horror story has always deeply disturbed and scared me for some reason, Just always resonates with me. Gives me mad anxiety.

I think it would be cool if you did a video on some newer creepypasta. I'm just gettting back into it and would love to hear some suggestions on where to jump back in.

This is interesting

imo one of the largest flaws in the writing of sonic.exe is that the way jc constantly compares the visuals and audio to specific things from certain games in unnecessarily high detail. it just feels kinda dumb and pointless. like, he describes how sonic.exe's flying animation is like metal sonic's, how eggman's run animation is the same animation used for "when you beat him at the end of a classic sonic game and you chase him", the theme for the you can't run stage is just giygas' theme from earthbound (specifically the one that's after you beat pokey), how the theme for the hide and seek stage is a "pixelated" version of some theme from sa2 (side note: are you actually serious right now. why did he not at the very least say "8-bit" instead of pixelated, of all things??), and most importantly of all, that sonic.exe's laugh is a distorted version of kefka's laugh from final fantasy. it's possible that the point of saying all of that stuff was that he was trying to make it seem like it was a poorly made sonic mod, but then why the hell would sonic.exe be like... real? how would he put a sonic plush on tom's bed if he was JUST part of a terribly made hack? and in fact, he's not just part of a shitty hack. he's apparently supposed to be some interdimensional entity who MADE the sonic.exe disc to use as a gateway between "the void" and earth. it's just stupid, because the writing implies that this interdimensional being who wants to enslave the human race (and i guess he somehow plans to do that by HOPING that everyone on earth will decide to play the sonic.exe disc) was so incompetent that instead of being able to produce his own laugh (after all, he does have a voice) he just used the fuckin kefka laugh of all things instead. on an unrelated note to finish this off, i love how sonic.exe (the character) was actually NOT intended to be called sonic.exe, his actual name is just X. it's just that the original sonic.exe creepypasta never included his real name so everyone just went with the next best thing, the name of the creepypasta.

Its almost Christmas Sacrow. got any plans?

WHAT!? THE EARTHBOUND MUSIC AND LAUGH WERE APART OF THE OG STORY... Bruh and I thought it was bad enough. I thought the game version just made that decision to be creepy💀

The first Creepypasta I ever came across was Ben Drowned back in November of 2010, I believed it was real at the time because I stumbled across it and never heard the word Creepypasta before. Since then I've read/listened to somewhere between 1,000 to 2,000 creepypastas, Ben Drowned is still the most effective one to me.

I’d argue it’s sequels and prequel alone make it a B tier. Unlike the gif pasta that doesn’t go anywhere, Abandoned is well-written, and even if it’s execution of photonegative Mickey isn’t the best, remains iconic in the genre nonetheless.

I live in Arizona and can confirm that gas station encounter happens regularly, it's pretty annoying

Always loved Mr Widemouth. Its not "scary" in the traditional way, its more unsettling. Everytime i hear the story i get visions of like an old victorian house with bare walls and a smell of mildew. And this lil creature lurking through the long hallways that only interacts with children. Gives me the creeps

the Arizona creepypasta is just the average Arizonian experience

Welcome to Arizona, where it’s so hot that you will travel parallel dimensions

Couldn't take any of the clown house story seriously because i was remembering my friend who's into girls dressed as clowns all the time. Like, if he was that guy he'd have gotten horny instead of scared when he saw the secretary.

This is the first time I've heard the ronald McDonald house one, and now i understand why. It's not as popular because the whole thing just sounds like another day in Detroit.

The Ronald McDonald house was the first one i listened to :3

White With Red being in A tier and Russian Sleep Experiment, Tulpa, Arizona, and Abandoned By Disney all being A or B doesn't sit right with me personally. White With Red has a good twist but most of the story isn't that good and it's told akwardly. If the hotel didn't want anyone going into the room where the woman was murdered the receptionist bringing it up for no reason is a very lazy plot convenience. I also just found most of the other stories mentioned scarier personally.
