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.

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.

I don't know if I'm in the right thread, but it's the closest I've seen to that cave exploring thread from 2003.

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.

Has there been any discussion of the 'Channel Zero: Candle Cove' TV show anywhere on ilx? Just watched the first episode, thought it stood up quite well though wasn't as ~mindblowing~ as some critics seem to want it to be. Definitely the sort of thing I'd watch the whole series of, though.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 2 November 2016 01:13 (seven years ago) link
I don't remember which station, but I do remember it was on at a weird time, like 4:00 PM.
that sure is a weird time for a children's show to come on the tv right after school

My curiousity got the best of me after reading those descriptions of the Momo. Went AGh out loud when I found the picture.
Kinda like if the bathtub lady in The Shining had also been played by Shelly Duvall.

the pic is good and creepy though, isn't it?
did we ever talk about the 'mother horse eyes' / interface series creepypasta on ilx? read the whole thing a few weeks ago and i thought it was great

I dunno, I guess it's not as creepy when you grow up in a household where flesh interfaces and random segmentation are part of the fabric of everyday life.

Do - it goes to other places. The more human bits, the addiction stuff and the fucked up children's story were the most impressive/disturbing for me.
