iiuc, the real danger posed by the basilisk is that it might convince ppl to take actions expressing loyalty to this evil AI - not unlike those girls who were doing the bidding of the slender man, obv the threat of the puzzle is what it might convince readers of, not of an actual basilisk. or at least that's why i'm assuming it was censored - it could have a debilitative (and violent producing) effect on ppl who might find it convincing.

to be fair nobody was gonna recognize the actual costume--the theme in the house was Dali, everyone was a character from a Dali painting or what have you--but the fact that i was universally regarded as slenderman was remarkable. the best was the 8 year old who walked up and said "i met you in the woods once!"

This was the first creepypasta I ever came across, and it's still my favourite. Obviously it hits the sort of buttons (vague memories of childhood TV shows, kids' TV being inadvertently creepy) that are easy to manipulate, but IMO the rhythm is really good, it never reveals too much at a time, and never goes over the top.
― Tuomas, Monday, 20 July 2015 11:49 (eight years ago) link
I thought someone mentioned it in this thread, but they're making a creepypasta show, and Candle Cove is apparently going to be the focus of the first season.

is cave exploring the one where the guy finds the camera in the woods? that one actually managed to terrify. internet was good for some scares.
