It could not be more obvious that they simply just don't enjoy doing this podcast or working together anymore.

If they didn't enjoy doing it, Meat could have just canceled the episode instead of putting in the extra effort of doing a solo show when Wendi was dealing with his baby.

This story is fucking hilariously, comically bad. There is plenty for them to work with like Happy Appy fucking doing 9/11. And Wendigoon even calls Hunter out on not really reacting to it or giving a fuck.

It's bad, but it is a slow, predictable, and repetitive bad that grinds on you. They can see how long the document is, they got demoralized early once they realized the quality they where dealing with and it was going to be an absolute slog. Them missing a low hanging fruit 9/11 joke isn't much of a sign that things are over. Like what would the joke even be? "Appy did 9/11 tee hee"?

How you fail to have fun with Happy Appy the homicidal apple puppet that murders people in over the top gorey ways and turn it into an entertaining episode is beyond me.

Because it isn't as short, gratuitous, and absolutely deranged as something like Cupcakes. Happy Appy is a very long and repetitive story. Happy shows up, he kills some kids, looks at the camera and says something ominus, then leaves. This repeats for 4 fucking hours. Also the description of the murders aren't really that vivid, it's just Happy stabs a kid, or Happy leads some kids onto his van then leaves covered in blood.

I can't believe Meat punched Wendi's newborn baby and that's why Creepcast is canceled.
 
As an enjoyer of the good-bad episodes/stories, Happy Appy was one of the weaker ones. If you condensed it down into an hour or two it would be very solidly good-bad, but it just doesn't have enough going on. Appy did 9/11 comes way too soon and doesn't peak nearly high enough, the only really good line from that section is Appy calling a guy who jumped and was still on fire a "weird guy" which, admittedly, is very funny, but it's not nearly enough. To make that scene work there needed to be some build up where the reader gradually realizes it's the moments leading up to 9/11 and starts asking if wait wait wait is this about to be 9/11 and then HOLY SHIT APPY DID 9/11?!?!?! Instead they're just immediately dancing in front of burning towers and "Is this 9/11? Yeah, I guess it's 9/11"

I still enjoyed it overall, I never read it but it definitely gave me the classic shitty creepypasta memberberries, but there's just too many stretches of absolutely nothing to be great. I actually appreciated when Wendi just went annoyed monotone with no discussion just to crank through the last few entries since the ending did get some pretty solid reactions out of them

They still want to get paid at the end of the day.
I think it'd have been a better look if they just said "no video this week, we'll make up for it with a bigger one later" instead of letting Meat half ass a story and go "it's a two man show!" when he sucks at doing it solo. exactly fuck head, it's a two man show. If it were only just either one of them the show wouldn't be as popular. But seeing as the show has been going, even both of them together can't seem to make it work like it used to and you can't blame the Wendigoon baby for that. It was headed in that direction before the kid was born.

This'll be the last year of Creepcast I bet.

A large part of the dip in quality is the well of creepypastas/nosleep is very deep, but the VAST majority are just absolutely useless as literature both good and bad. Rather than solely rely on the greatest hits when they select stories they rely on fan recommendations or having Hunter's crew find something for them to read so they both go in blind. Sometimes it works, usually you get something that is just meh or bad in a unfunny way.

I don't think so, it is too successful of a brand to end things now and Wendi has been spending the past year maximizing revenue to pay for his baby, house, and new studio. At most I think we might see a change in format, either breaking up long episodes into parts again, more grab bags, and all time classics.

Yeah the bane of any content creator is running out of established shit to talk about. Once that happens it's slow decline as they try to force in hype for mediocre shit or review tangentially related media. Wouldn't be surprised if they are already at that stage and will resort to mainly talking about shit from the last decade.

This implies there is relevant creepypasta. They could easily retread all of the Bad Creepypasta series' grounds and have content stacked for quite a long time, and that stuff is far more entertaining than another readthrough of shit like MHE.
 
New grab bag!

E: Holy shit I'm crying. If you only listen this is something you absolutely need to see. Wendi was getting set up at his new dentist and he had to get his old dentist to send all his records. They included x-rays and pictures. One of them made him say "You know what maybe they are that bad."

It looks like Russell Greer having an allergic reaction to a bee sting

The beginning of this video upset me because just like Borasca, Isaiah gasses up Dead Girl in my Backyard, by saying how it's one of the best stories they've read. However, unlike Borasca I can't excuse it as him just being nostalgic and respecting a story that got him into doing internet horror.

Dead Girl is, in my opinion, one of the worst stories they've read on the show. This isn't because the writer is incompetent, but because I don't feel that it's a horror story. Something like Jeff the Killer is bad because it's poorly written and cringe, but at least it achieves what it set out to do. Which is to be a scary story. If a kid were to read Jeff the Killer they'd be terrified, and struggle sleeping that night. If a kid were to read Dead Girl they would most likely be bored. The story feels less like the author actually wanted to write a scary story for No Sleep, and more like they wrote a failed children's book. Isaiah even says something similar in today's episode comparing it to Narnia and Where the Wild Things Are, and when they read it they compared it to Bridge to Terrabithia which is very apt because that's exactly what it is. Bridge to Terrabithia but the girl is a monster.

Dead Girl is similar to the yaoi story they read because in both stories the relationship between two characters is the focus and any semblance of supernatural occurrences are buried in the background. At least unlike Borasca the ending is just 5 paragraphs of the bad guy practically explaining why the story is so fucked up and scary.


TL;DR My Only Friend was the Dead Girl in my Backyard is the worst story on CC because it's not a spooky story.
 
The two stories from Mr. Voynich feel like they could be condensed into a meme or a short comic and would have the exact same appeal but with a wider reach. They're so short and simple they would be bother as algorithm slop, anyway. The second story is so painfully Eyes Wide Shut you wonder why the narrator or author didn't just come out and say it. Not to mention the interpersonal drama seemed somehow even more shallow than the Rat King story.

Third story opens up like the narrator should go to therapy instead of continuing telling the story. Hard pass.

You are correct but for the wrong reasons. Dead Girl in my Backyard is actually a very good piece of writing that they shouldn't have read on the show because the show is about reading creepypastas, which have never been good or scary in any way.

Maybe if you told the story to a child of five to six years old that had no concept of how reality works it would be scary.
 
I didn't find any of the stories in Creepcast scary. At most some of them are more like thrillers and you get anxious to see if some characters survive, but content wise it's all variations of Town with dark secret/existentialism/body horror/common phobias/Doctor Who monsters.

Like yeah a child that never heard of those will be creeped out, but how many times can you hear the same story and be scared?

The only time I ever genuinely got creeped out by something they read was the "My wife is peeking at me from around corners" story. Only because I have a very specific fear of washing my hair in the shower and then opening my eyes to see some one and that happens in that story. Other than that one instance, nothing they have ever read is scary or creepy. I only listen cause I need retard slop to get me through work and sometimes they actually read some interesting stories.

Despite what many people seem to believe in this thread Creepcast was never a show about just reading creepypasta. In the first video on the channel Isaiah says that they want to "go over a lot of early internet horror stories a lot of supernatural or scary tales that can be found online, in folklore, and generally just things that scare us anything from literature to film..."

I agree, as I said in my original message Dead Girl isn't bad because it's written poorly. It's very well written. The problem is that it never feels like it was meant to be a scary story (unlike Jeff the Killer where it was very clearly a child writing what he thought was scary). It feels like the author wanted to write a children's story about friendship, looking past people's appearances, and how you shouldn't be selfish.

Shame they didn't do that and just read r/nosleep stories with the rare vintage creepypasta as a treat. I wouldn't mind them breaking things up with IRL ghost stories.
 
We need a grab bag of more shitty gaming pastas. I know they’ve covered a lot of the big ones already, but surely there’s some more funny ones like the “Blood Whistle” I vaguely remember.

Blood Whistle and MaRIo are some of the finest examples of shitty gaming creepypasta. They're absolutely hilariously bad, worse than Sonic.exe and its shitty sequel. If we don't have one already, there should be a thread for the creepypasta community. I know it's mostly all dead now, but it'd be fun to dive into the old depths of the Jeff the Killer fan girls.

I'm not gonna make it though because I'm a fat lazy chud8)

I kind of stopped paying attention to CreepCast due to the stories not really getting my interest, but you know what could be a fun idea for an episode? Pulp Horror Grab Bag. Specially since there's a lot of those stories that are on the public domain.

I want an SCP grab bag, but Hunter chooses the articles based on title alone.
