No, I'm not talking about Horrorcows or Horrible Happenings. I'm speaking strictly fiction. With SCP circling the toilet and most of the old creepypastas either killed by their autistic fanbases or actual real life murders, it's not looking good for the internet horror scene. That said, there's still plenty of quality shit, both old and new, that deserves having a look at. I've lined up a few examples to start off the thread. If you've got anything you want to recommend, slap that shit in the thread and let's talk about it.
The Interface Series. As mentioned in the SCP thread. Yes, it's reddit but trust me it's good... if a bit mindfucky. I could explain it myself but there's a Down the Rabbit Hole video that does a better job.
Local 58. A youtube series by Kris Straub, the same guy who made Candle Cove and Broodhollow. Another mindfuck which involves cosmic horror and the question of whether or not we really have free will, all told through the format of what is seemingly a regular local TV station broadcasting completely unrelated programs. If it's a bit too screwy for you, Nexpo did a video summarizing the series and giving his own theories on the matter.
The Sick Land. This one's a bit older, but I haven't seen much talk about it. Think Roadside Picnic (AKA S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) but with heavier cosmic horror themes and from the point of view of a scientific researcher.
The Search and Rescue Woods Series. It's from Nosleep, but before the subreddit descended into autism. A bunch of flash fiction stories told from the perspective of a Search and Rescue officer working at an unnamed US National Forest. If any of you are familiar with Missing 411, it's like that but cranked up a couple notches and with an explicitly supernatural bend. Syfy actually based a season of their show Channel Zero on the stories, but they mangled it so badly it hardly resembles the original work at all. They also fucked the author over on the rights, which is always fun.
The Sun Vanished. A by-post ARG where the author exists in a world where the sun fucking vanished what the fuck do you think the plot is? Well, there's other shit going on but you'll have to take a peek to see. Still ongoing. A bit crusty but it has enough potential to keep me occupied at least. Unfortunately it's on twitter which makes navigating it a bit of a hassle.
Marble Hornets. You've probably heard of it, but the faggotry surrounding the Slender Man tends to turn people off so I'm going to vouch for it. It is the original, and only good Slender Man Vlog. Just try not to think of the SlenderJeff slash fics while you watch it. Eckva is made by one of the original creators. Ongoing, but the upload schedule is slow as balls.
Honorable Mentions:
Portals of London. An anthology series all written in-character as a blogger who researches areas of London where the divides between our reality and others is thin. The work as a whole isn't strictly horror, but some of the stories definitely are.
You Awaken In Razor Hill. Old horror-comedy blog strictly made for WoW fans back in the WotLK days. Takes the form of a CYOA and includes a lot of elements ripped wholesale from Silent Hill. It's a bit of an autistic guilty pleasure of mine. I go back to it once in a blue moon.
If any of you fucks have shit you want people to read/watch, be sure to post it. I'm always ready for more spooks.
