Did the creator magically get better

Basically yes, around video 7 or 8 I think there's a pretty noticeable jump in quality. The last video is actually pretty good even if the end of the series is kind of dumb.

They've done a few by the Tommy taffy author and enjoyed all of them I believe.

I know the Tommy Taffy author also made the Feed the Pig/The Black Farm series and that knowledge alone makes me instantly not like his work. Elias Witherow is the author, and he's the embodiment of 15 year old edge lord.

"Alright who's not dead? Sound off."
New CreepCast.

This was one of those stories where the author should have gone "alright this is a nice note to end it on" instead of trying to protract it out and dispel any sense of mystery. The other example of an author squandering their good idea(s) through meandering is Ben Drowned, that story was surprisingly horrible after the beginning - I'm glad that meat and wendi recognized that this supposed "classic" was actually shit right around the time cleverbot was introduced (meat's goofy voice for that part was one of my favorite Creepcast moments). To make matters worse, I found out that the author decided to actually continue the story through some contrived offshoot in 2020 after a hiatus spanning years... grim.

My favorite episodes tend to be the readings of the schlocky creepypastas w/ Squidward's suicide being a particular favorite. Dead bart would make for good material in that vein.

The female cop being fucking useless and blaming it, and everything else, on sexism is definitely true. And I can buy the whole "yeah we keep getting calls from this house and none of us know why. We check it out cause we have to but nothing ever happens" bit. I also 100% believe the part where the dumb bitch goes into the house alone without back up, despite that being one of the dumbest fucking things you could ever do as an officer. Especially at night as a woman.

Don't forget her getting mad at the chief for chewing her out for not checking the room with the body it because there was a spider and webs on the door knob. Sure she tried to justify it by saying it didn't look like it was used recently, but it really seemed like she didn't want to touch the gross stuff.

Not just noticeable, but an extreme jump in quality (Spooks learned how to make videos with blender). Also the description of the scene followed by a video with the body blurred was way more impactful than his usual format. Not to mention that screaming...

It didn't really save the series, but it does get me excited to see what he does with his next one. Hopefully he steps away from the AH stuff and does something wild now that he is learning how to animate.

I can sorta believe this story was based on somewhat true stories/events.

The female cop being fucking useless and blaming it, and everything else, on sexism is definitely true. And I can buy the whole "yeah we keep getting calls from this house and none of us know why. We check it out cause we have to but nothing ever happens" bit. I also 100% believe the part where the dumb bitch goes into the house alone without back up, despite that being one of the dumbest fucking things you could ever do as an officer. Especially at night as a woman.

What I don't believe, despite it being presented as part of the true pieces of lore used for the story, is the female officer refusing backup before going in because she didn't wanna pull anyone away from a DUI crash. Unless that DUI was an all-hands situation, refusing backup was some top tier "I'm a strong independent woman who don't need no man" shit. This is how cops get ambushed with a shotgun to the head. Or raped then killed in her case. Very retarded main character.

The story itself was just boring. The mystery wasn't particularly interesting because "unexplained calls from what should be an abounded house" is strangely bottom of the barrel for spooky shit a cop might encounter. But the ending turned it from "forgettable and inoffensive" to "I hope everyone in this story dies".


Tommy Taffy/Urban Spook is the closest they got, oddly enough.

Holy shit this story was bad. I started losing interest around "I'm used to small town sexism" cringe fucking reddit, then there is that awful end.

It's a very typical woman author thing. Comments sum it up best:

The comments really make me happy, well once you short through all the "eat me like a bug while I creep my cast" comments anyway. I know they have a big reddit following but people are not having this nonsense and are tearing the story apart.

Looks like there won't be a new episode this week

I finally get caught up after binging their whole series and they go on break?! Fantastic. MATI is on break too. This sucks.

 

[TheOtherSideofMakeBelieve]

Decided to do a complete(-ish) relisten of CreepCast from the beginning while they're on break(-ish). Had a super long day at work today so I managed to get through both episodes of Borrasca and after listening to them go over some of Klingel's other work the way Meat accurately guesses multiple plot beats after basically every single line of exposition is extremely funny (on top of all the improv they do with Kyle). Definitely worth a re-listen after hearing some of her other stories if it's been a while since you've been through it

I'm planning on doing an re-listen of the entire podcast over the Christmas break once I finish my exams. I haven't rewatched the earliest episodes in a while so I'm looking forward to it. Not looking forward to the discovery a literal rape factory in Borrasca Pt. 2 however

 

[TheOtherSideofMakeBelieve]

I'm skipping Tommy Taffy personally, that's the only episode I don't have in my personal playlist, not counting CreepTV which I have a separate playlist for

100% it was highly recommended because of the sfm adaptation:

This guy makes really good sfm videos, and later animated the sequel story which is exactly what they imagined it would be. Personally couldn't finish it—the over-explanations were really dry and tedious when there wasn't any need to explain how the drug worked in the first place.

Both stories were very solid though. It's refreshing to see a story that starts out strong not trip up right at the finish line and ruin everything for once. This guy's a pretty good writer, though it seems to me like he's a a worldbuilding autist and also the rest of the stories in this "universe" are about hell and how hell becomes the new Middle East or something. It's really weird, and I don't understand how a drug that fucks with your cognition and perception of time gets you to that point.

I'm 30 minutes in and they've only spoken like a single paragraph from the story. It's just been a hypothetical of if Goon would shoot Hunter, if Hunter had a farm and his tractor fell on him and squashed his cock & balls and asshole like a bug.
This has been more entertaining than any of the stories. A regular podcast that occasionally dipped into creepypasta would be killer.

I mean, isn't that Creepcast already?

I really liked it, the banter was fun and the stories were good.
Plus any episode that give us the clip
"Here's an idea maybe you should kill yourself" is an immediate classic.

 

[TheOtherSideofMakeBelieve]

I just started listening once I got to work this morning. I'm not even sure they got a paragraph in lol, I think it was just the title and Meat was like "God I wish that was me" and then they went on that tangent. I think it might top the bug rant, I had to brace myself in a doorway because I was laughing too hard, I thought I might have to stop listening until I got home

 

[TerminalTryHard]

God I want to know what story 1 was. What could be so bad that MC just vetoed immediately.

It was one sentence in before things derailed into run over by tractor mercy killing hypothetical cry bullying. It was such a fucking disaster that it was art.

Made my long drive yesterday much more bearable.

 

[Rick The Stick]

Both stories were pretty good, this author seems decent. Just solid all the way through. I really liked the one particularly. What a fucking nightmare reality it would be to a prisoner in your own body because your mind is operating far faster than your body could react.
It's like a fucked up version of the flash.

The guy was a fucking retard for thinking sleeping it off would be a good idea or that taking an ambien would help. And I doubt taking an upper like they guys said would be any better. It'd probably just send his brain into even further over drive which would slow down his perception of time even more, except now he'd have the uncomfortable side effects a lot of uppers can cause like itchiness, the pounding heart rate, sweating, shortness of breath etc. Imagine feeling like you're on the verge of a heart attack for what seems like millenia.

Also pretty based of some of the creepypasta writers if they really are saying "DONT USE MY SHIT FOR YOUR VIDEOS" or requesting permission first. Only fair since channels like these make much much more money off the the stories than the creators will.
