The story of all the heroes from creepypasta. What is creepypasta, how to make friends with it? Where did it come from, how to get there? Frequently occurring phenomena in creepypastas

A separate popular subgenre has become stories that, first of all, cause a smile, rather than horror. These include stories that are written ridiculously poorly or written deliberately poorly for the purpose of trolling, parodies, stories at the intersection of the humorous genre, etc. In RuNet, the term NPCHDH arose to name them - an abbreviation for the phrase “so bad that it’s even good.” Russian parody creepypastas often exploit cliches of horror stories from children's folklore of the second half of the 20th century. In the English-language segment, “Soviet (Russian) creepypasta” is widespread, parodying at the same time classic creepypasta plots and the so-called. “cranberry” - exaggerated stereotypes of anti-Soviet and anti-Russian propaganda.

Despite the fact that creepy stories were initially distributed completely anonymously, in the 2010s, in both the English and Russian segments of the Internet, many authors appeared who used a permanent pseudonym, and sometimes did not even hide their real name.

Currently, there are separate sites on the Internet that are collections of creepy stories. On some of them, in addition to samples of online folklore, you can also find stories by modern professional writers in the horror genre and works of classical literature that foreshadowed horror literature.

Examples of characteristic characters and phenomena

Typically, creepy stories take place in urban settings, and paranormal phenomena are not associated with traditional mysticism. Readers are also interested in stories in which the mystical element is kept to a minimum, which allows the story to be close to realistic. Some stories are completely in the style of splatterpunk and do not contain a paranormal component at all.

Creepypasta as a fandom

In the early 2010s, variations secondary to the original creepypastas began to actively spread - additions, sequels, prequels, reworkings, etc. Against this background, a fandom emerged on the Internet associated with human and anthropomorphic creepypasta characters. Thanks to him, a specific interpretation of the term “creepypasta” arose, meaning precisely such characters, and not the genre of Internet folklore that gave birth to them. A large amount of fan art, including fan fiction, has been created within its framework. The most popular characters were Jeff and Slenderman. However, this fandom has gained notoriety as a refuge for mentally unstable teenagers and is considered “toxic” both in Western countries and in Russia.

Negative attitudes towards both the fandom and the term “creepypasta” are also fueled by media publications in which creepypasta is mentioned in the same breath as “groups of death” and the game “Blue Whale”. At the same time, publications may contain gross factual errors: for example, creepypasta can be called a type of anime.

Many Internet users have already heard about the so-called “Creepypasta,” but most know practically nothing about it. Some people may assume that this is connected with some scary stories, but they do not know the details. Today, “Creepypasta” is an integral element of the Internet community, which is constantly growing, developing and, naturally, frightening. If someone thought that this term was associated with horror, they were not mistaken. The fact is that “Creepypasta” is a word that includes a full-fledged sphere on the Internet. But it all started with one community in which users came up with their own scary stories and illustrated them, and other readers could complement them, improve them and make them even scarier. This is how “Creepypastas” appeared - stories about some creatures that terrorize civilians, scare, kill, torture, and so on. Everyone knows that this is fiction, but this does not make it any less scary - this is such “Creepypasta”. The characters of this genre are particularly cruel, scary in appearance, frightening details, and so on. Therefore, next we will consider the most famous of the heroes, who already instill fear in a huge number of people of all ages.

Slenderman

Most likely, the most popular Creepypasta character today is Slenderman. Several third-party projects have already been created about him, including full-fledged video games - this is a great achievement for the Creepypasta genre. Characters in this genre most often remain confined to the Internet, but Slenderman turned out to be so unusual and impressive that he was able to break into other areas. What is he like? Initially, he was depicted as a very tall and thin man in a formal suit. What distinguished him from a real person was his face, or rather, the absence of it. Slenderman lures small children out of the house, and then kills them or subjugates them, making them his assistants. Naturally, this character has undergone numerous changes from various authors. Not many of them have taken root - for example, now Slenderman is very often depicted with tentacles growing from his back. The Thin Man is the most popular and successful "Creepypasta", the characters of other stories, of course, also create horror, but it is Slenderman who does it best. But it's time to talk about other popular heroes.

Jeff the killer

“Creepypasta” is famous for its many interesting characters; the characters of this genre very quickly gain universal love. This happened with Jeff, who was nicknamed the killer. In fact, he is the real killer, who sneaks into the house and watches the sleeping person until he notices him. Then Jeff orders the man to continue sleeping, and if he listens, he may survive. If not, then Jeff immediately attacks him with a knife and kills him. Outwardly, this character is in many ways similar to an ordinary person, only his eyes are definitely wild, and his mouth is huge and constantly stretches into a terrifying, sinister smile. Jeff may die, but he is always reborn into one of his victims, which makes him even more terrible, which is what any “Creepypasta” achieves. The characters and their stories are breathtaking and also make you forget about sleep. After all, at any moment you can feel Jeff’s gaze on you.

Jane the Killer

This story is directly related to the previous one, which is quite typical for the genre called “Creepypasta”. Characters and their stories often intertwine with each other, creating an incredible world full of horror and fear. So, Jane is the girl who lived next door to Jeff when he started killing and became a monster, not an ordinary boy. And one day Jeff came for Jane, who sympathized with him, while everyone else hated him. So he came not to kill her, but to play a perverted game with her. Jane tried to defend herself with a knife, but it didn't work, and Jeff doused her with gasoline and set her on fire, disfiguring her beautiful face. After that, he sent her a mask and her knife, saying that he hoped that she would find her beauty. After this, Jane vowed that she would dedicate her life to finding and killing Jeff while she hides her disfigured face behind a mask - this is exactly the story Creepypasta offers players. Pictures of the characters are in the article, so you can look at both Jeff and Jane at any time.

Eyeless Jack

The next character who has become everyone's favorite is Eyeless Jack, a very entertaining "Creepypasta". The pictures of the characters, including Eyeless Jack, perfectly complement the stories, making the story more vivid. So, Jack received the nickname Eyeless for the reason that he was born with completely black eyes. For this he was hated and despised, mocked at him. As a result, it all ended with his parents being killed, so Jack put on a mask, took his father's scalpel and began performing operations on those who did this, as well as those who bullied him all these years. For some time he did this with his friend Justin, until he committed suicide, unable to bear such a life. The list of Creepypasta characters is constantly updated with such interesting heroes. Each of them has its own story, which can both captivate and frighten.

Ben the Drowned

The story of one gamer who mysteriously became a participant in a computer game on the verge of virtual and real realities is quite relevant. The list of Creepypasta characters even includes such heroes, so if you are not yet familiar with this direction, then you should definitely read the notes and look at the images and videos. In this case, the story is about a game that transported the main character into a virtual world that seemed real. The intricate events ultimately add up to a single terrifying picture that can frighten even the bravest readers of the Creepypasta genre. The characters, whose photos are on many relevant resources, are the most impressive. And in this regard, Ben is amazing, since he has the appearance of the famous hero of the game “The Legend of Zelda” Link.

Tim Muskie

The story of Tim Mask, a teenager who decided to star in an amateur horror film in a deep forest, looks quite interesting and fresh. At first glance, this is a fairly ordinary “Creepypasta”, characters, photos and stories are publicly available, but something in this story looks strange and incomprehensible. The gist of it is that he was unable to meet the friends with whom he planned to make the film. But the forest attracted him, lured him and did not allow him to leave, run away, hide. All his attempts to get away failed, and in the end the forest swallowed him up, turning him into something other than a person - this is how the characters in “Creepypasta” are. Absolutely all stories are available in Russian, so you can easily read the full version of any of them.

Hoodie

Hoodie is another maniac who did not want to become one, but conditions turned him into a monster. He lost his parents, his older sister and her husband took custody of Alex (Hoodie) and his sister. The stepfather beat his wife, and when she was not there, he took care of the children, and one day he accidentally killed Sandra, his younger sister. Alex took a knife and cut his throat, but his older sister immediately returned and accused him of killing both relatives. At this point, Hoodie had to get rid of her too, and then burn the house down and go kill, wearing a mask and his sweatshirt.

Ticky Toby

Toby is another boy who killed his own father and then tried to cover it up by committing arson. This character has something in common with Slenderman, because it was he who subjugated Toby to his will and made him his servant.

Creepypasta characters appeared in 2006 as an element of a kind of online community. Previously, adults and children loved to tell each other horror stories at night, gathering around a fire in the forest or in the countryside near the fireplace. Nowadays, you can read or share scary stories from the past, urban legends, and made-up stories via the Internet. Every year there are more and more stories, and accordingly, the list of villains is expanding. But not all of these heroes are the ultimate evil - many are just victims of circumstances.

What is creepypasta

Creepypasta is a horror story about heroes invented by people and associated with anime and comics. Many creators write fanfiction in Russian and make art for other fans to copy.

Creepypasta is not just a world of horror films. This is a flight of fantasy for fans, because each new invention prolongs the adventures and life of the characters. The creation and addition of stories, discussions on forums, new circumstances and villains unite horror movie fans around the world.

Horror stories are translated by volunteers from Spanish, English and other languages. Over the years of the existence of creepy stories, a great many heroes with unique destinies, abilities and characters have appeared.

List of characters

Slenderman

No one knows where he came from or why he kidnaps children. He kills some, subjugates others to his will. “The Thin Man” is how Slenderman was nicknamed on the Internet.

According to urban legends, he is more than 2 meters tall at full height, climbs the walls of houses and looks into windows, is desperately thin, his arms and legs are flexible like whips, and no one remembers his appearance. In memories and photographs, the face is blurred. Victims speak of writhing tentacles behind their backs, like the hair of a Gorgon.

Jane the Killer

Jane Arkensaw moved to a new neighborhood and fell in love with her neighbor. When the heroine saved Jeff from the fire, after recovery, he invited her and his parents to dinner. But Jane woke up at the table, tied up in the company of her dead loved ones. Jeff killed his family and doused the girl with gasoline. He set it on fire, promising to “make it just as beautiful.”

Jane will wake up with irreparable burns. At the hospital, she will receive a package from Jeff: a black silk dress, gloves, a mask, a knife and a bouquet of black withered roses. Only Jane knows what Jeff the killer looks like in real life; a photo of his face is etched in her memory forever. She will take the name "Jane the Eternal" and promise to slaughter the enemy so that he squeals like an animal.

Maski Tim

He became addicted to drugs early on and was surrounded by his mother’s misunderstanding, heroin withdrawal and loneliness. At the age of 20, the guy was kicked out of his home, he wandered the streets and writhed in agony. When Tim found the Mask, he heard a dominant voice: “Put it on... put it on.”

This simple item will capture the guy’s soul, a creepy mask with a thirst for blood will become the obsession of the young man’s heart. A theatrical mask with slits for eyes and mouth knows no mercy or pity.

Hoodie

Alex Penber and sister Sandra became orphans after the accident. Their older sister, Angela, took custody of them. The kids were haunted by an evil fate. Angela's husband beat his stepchildren.

While she was at work, little Sandra was pushed down the stairs by her stepfather. Alex's mind went blank. He beat his stepfather to death with a kitchen knife. Angela saw it. Hoodie, as he now called himself, realized that there was no way out. He killed his older sister, grabbed a yellow jacket with a hood and a mask in the form of a sad smiley face from the storage room. He set fire to the apartment and ran away.

Alex Penber has been reported missing. A serial killer in an orange mask with a kitchen knife has appeared in the area. Hoodie without a mask is an ordinary cute teenager whom no one would suspect of crimes.

Lazari

Half-demon, half-human. A victim of an experiment in the crossing of two races, she escaped and took refuge in Slenderman's hut. The essence of the demon manifests itself more and more in the child.

Usually the little one becomes a charming 8-year-old in a pink dress. Sometimes she grows in height, scary horns appear, and her skin turns gray. Then Lazari goes out on his bloody path to feast on human flesh.

Pyramidhead

The real horror of the night in the town of Silent Hill. A beautiful torso, muscles of steel, an apron made of human skin that fits the hips. In his hands is a giant cleaver that easily cuts through oak doors.

Instead of a head, he has a heavy pyramid, devoid of a face. Mutilated nurses are his harem. The incredible cruelty of Pyramid Head is frightening and, at the same time, his animal attractiveness causes heart palpitations in women. A terrible and seductive embodiment of evil.

Jeff the killer

An ear-to-ear smile, cold eyes. He stands at the head of the bed with a knife and orders: “Sleep!”
In his fights with the boys, he learned that inflicting pain was delicious. Jeff will be seriously injured - a 3rd degree burn. Waking up with his lips burned to the point of flesh, hairless and scarred skin, he rejoices at his new appearance.

Then, in a fight with the boys in the yard, he completely lost his mind. Believing himself to be a cold killing machine, the killer will burn out his eyelids and slit his mouth to his ears at night. Driven mad, he will kill his mother, father and brother.

By the way, contrary to popular belief, Smiledog is not Jeff the Killer's dog. He works alone and if Killer came to the bedroom, it’s better to pretend to be asleep, and he will spare you... maybe.

Ben the Drowned

There are two opinions about what Ben's origin story looks like. In both, the boy is an avid gamer. According to one version, he had been waiting for a long time for the new part of the Zelda game - Majora's Mask.

But the cruel teenagers beat and drowned Ben. The boy's parents distributed games to the children. "Majora's Mask", which the guy did not have time to complete, fell into the hands of the killer. The next morning, Ben's enemy was found in the noose.
According to another version, Drowned Ben was a member of the “Children of the Moon” sect. He drowned himself under mysterious circumstances. Using a ritual, the sectarians transferred Ben's spirit into computer code.

"Creepypasta": characters and their stories (Photo)

Many Internet users have already heard about the so-called “Creepypasta,” but most know practically nothing about it. Some people may assume that it is connected with some kind of scary stories, but they do not know the details. Today, “Creepypasta” is an integral element of the Internet community, which is constantly growing, developing and, naturally, frightening. If someone thought that this term was associated with horror, they were not mistaken. The fact is that “Creepypasta” is a word that includes a full-fledged sphere on the Internet. But it all started with one community, in which users came up with their own scary stories and illustrated them, and other readers could complement them, improve them and make them scarier. This is how “Creepypastas” appeared -

Stories about any creatures that terrorize civilians, scare, kill, torture, and so on. Everyone knows that this is fiction, but this does not make it any less scary - this is such “Creepypasta”. The characters of this genre are particularly cruel, scary in appearance, frightening details, and so on. Therefore, next we will consider the most famous of the heroes, who already instill fear in a huge number of people of all ages.

Slenderman

Most likely, the most popular Creepypasta character today is Slenderman. Several third-party projects have already been created about him, including full-fledged video games - this is a great achievement for the Creepypasta genre. Characters in this genre most often remain confined to the Internet, but Slenderman turned out to be so unusual and impressive that he was able to break into other areas. What does he represent? Initially, he was depicted as a very tall and thin man in a formal suit. What distinguished him from a real person was his face, or rather, the absence of it. Slenderman lures small children out of the house, and then kills them or subjugates them, making them his assistants. Naturally, this character has undergone multiple changes from various authors. Not many of them have taken root - for example, now Slenderman is often depicted with tentacles growing from his back. The Thin Man is the most popular and successful "Creepypasta", the characters of other stories, of course, also create horror, but it is Slenderman who does it best. But it's time to talk about other popular heroes.

Jeff the killer

“Creepypasta” is famous for its many interesting characters; the characters of this genre very quickly gain universal love. This happened with Jeff, who was nicknamed the killer. In fact, he is the real killer, who sneaks into the house and watches the sleeping person until he notices him. Then Jeff orders the man to continue sleeping, and if he listens, he may survive. If not, then Jeff attacks him with a knife and kills him. Outwardly, this character is in many ways similar to an ordinary person, only his eyes are definitely wild, and his mouth is huge (cut) and constantly stretches into a terrible sinister smile. Jeff may die, but he is always reborn into one of his victims, which makes him even more terrible, which is what any “Creepypasta” achieves. The characters and their stories are breathtaking and also make you forget about sleep. After all, at any moment you can feel Jeff’s gaze on you.

Jane the Killer

Jane is the girl who lived next door to Jeff when he started killing and became a monster, not an ordinary boy. And one day Jeff came for Jane, who sympathized with him, while everyone else hated him. So he came not to kill her, but to play a twisted game. Jane tried to defend herself with a knife, but it didn't work, and Jeff doused her with gasoline and set her on fire, disfiguring her beautiful face. After that, he sent her a mask and her knife, saying that he hoped that she would find her beauty. After this, Jane vowed that she would dedicate her life to finding and killing Jeff while she hid her disfigured face behind a mask.

Hoodie is another maniac who did not want to become one, but conditions turned him into a monster. He lost his parents, his older sister and her husband took custody of Alex (Hoodie) and his sister. The stepfather beat his wife, and when she was not there, he took care of the children, and one day he accidentally killed Sandra, his younger sister. Alex took a knife and cut his throat, but his older sister immediately returned and accused him of killing her relatives. At this point, Hoodie had to get rid of her too, and then go kill, wearing a mask and his sweatshirt.

Ticky Toby

Toby is another boy who killed his own father and then tried to cover it up by committing arson. This character had something in common with Slenderman, because it was he who subjugated Toby to his will and made him his servant.

Heh... Guys, I tried, and my fingers are burning. If you ask where is B.Jack, S.Jack, Ben, etc. then I said above that they are the most famous, and as soon as there are 60:hearts: under the article, then I will move on to the rest of the characters.

Many people do not understand what creepypasta is. Some people think that this is the name of a spice; the more enlightened think that this is one of the negative fantasy characters. To make it clear to everyone and people stop getting confused, below we will write what creepypasta is, as well as who its heroes are and how to make friends with them.

History of appearance

Creepy - creepy, creepy. CreepyPasta - scary stories that Internet users come up with and post on their blogs or on special sites and groups.

Other users can complement them and come up with a continuation. This is how entire horror novels began to appear, the heroes of which became famous and are known to the entire global Internet community.

It all started with a foreign site in the imageboard style - 4chan, which was created so that everyone could leave anonymous messages on it in sections on a specific topic, which have their own rules and their own culture. People told stories that happened to them in life, complementing and embellishing them. This has captured some users so much that it has become an epidemic.

Today, all popular imageboards have a special section where everyone can post creepy stories. Probably, all this is not new and such horror films began to appear much earlier than in 2006 on 4chan. Just remember the pioneer camps and the horror stories we used to scare each other before going to bed after lights out.

Apparently, people need fairy tales, and the Internet and digital technologies help make them more real and colorful.

Heroes and their biography

It is impossible to list all the invented characters. Maybe while we are compiling this list, another one has appeared. But let's name a few with caution. After all, if you read their names out loud, you can call them into our world:

1. Slenderman- a tall, thin man with numerous tentacle-like arms behind his back. He has no face, only a skull tightly covered with skin. Has the ability to teleport and read minds. Sometimes he attacks people, but no one knows what he does to his victims.
2. Jeffrey Woods- a teenager who was doused with acid during a fight. After he saw himself mutilated in the mirror, he lost his mind. To always smile, Jeffrey cut his mouth with a knife and burned out his eyes so that he could no longer see his reflection. After killing his parents, he began to wander around the world and kill other people for revenge.
3. Ben the Drowned- a living computer virus that appears in the form of an elf dressed in a green T-shirt and cap, and blood flows from his black eyes. According to one version, Ben is an ordinary boy who was obsessed with the famous computer game and its hero, the elf. He achieved great success in the game, but was a failure in life. Neighborhood boys constantly beat him and bullied him. One day they beat Ben so badly that he lost consciousness. Then the guys threw him into the river from the bridge. When Ben was dying, he swore in the name of his favorite game to take revenge. So after his death he got into computer games, through which he takes revenge on all his offenders and more.

These are the heroes of American creepypastas. The Japanese are no less interested in horror stories than Americans.

Japanese urban legends

Japanese culture has long been rich in strange creatures. Having modernized, they began to be found in bathrooms, schools and other urban places, but at the same time they did not lose the ugliness traditional for Japanese monsters.

Here are the most famous heroes who now actively travel on the Internet:

• Grandma foot saleswoman. This is an elderly gray-haired woman with white eyes who approaches people on the street and asks: “Don’t you need legs?” When the person answers her that thank you, I don’t need anything, she rips his legs off. For anyone who answers differently, she will sew an extra third leg.
• Dressing Hanako. The ghost of a girl living in the toilet. She appears in a certain booth, on a certain floor. According to legend, this is the third floor, the third cabin from the window. It can drown a person in the toilet.
• Tek-Tek- the ghost of a woman who was run over by a train. Now she can only move on her elbows, making a “tek-tek” sound. She has a scythe with which she kills her victims, cutting them in half so that they become like her.

In our country, this type of Internet horror stories is not yet very popular, but fans of creepy stories are gradually appearing in Russia.

How to get into creepypasta in real life?

Some people believe so strongly in the world of monsters and fantastic creatures that they try to get there.

Here are some tips from those who have already tried:

1. When everyone at home has gone to bed, turn on the computer. Open your browser and type in the search bar the name of the hero you want to meet. Now close your eyes and press the Enter key 13 times. When you hear rustling, steps or laughter, it means everything worked out. You can open your eyes, but don't think that you will see a dark kingdom with monsters. You will find yourself in the same place you were, but now you can meet your character at any time. Be careful.
2. Someone claims that you can get into creepypasta in your sleep. To do this, before going to bed, you need to write your character's name on the palm of your right hand, and your date of birth on the palm of your left hand. To avoid getting stuck there, place a rope next to the bed and tie one end of it to your leg. She will leave the passage open and show the way back. That's it, now feel free to go to bed. They are already waiting for you there.

This is how you can find yourself in the world of monsters and monsters. Whether you take my word for it that this is possible or test it in practice is up to you.

How to call creepypasta?

It’s safer not to go there yourself, but to invite a guest to your place. Still, the walls at home are familiar, somehow calmer. What if it's true?

To summon each hero there is a ritual:

• will never come if there are a lot of people around. And it doesn’t even matter whether it’s day or night. Find a secluded corner and have a mirror, pen and piece of paper ready. On this sheet of paper, write his name at the top and yours at the bottom. And also the date and time when you do all this. Place the mirror so that you can see what is happening behind you. Sit opposite him. Set the leaf on fire, while it is burning, say: “The one who brings fear and horror to life appears - Slenderman.” Look carefully in the mirror, after a while you will definitely see it in the reflection. But don't turn around, otherwise he might attack.
• Jeffrey Woods comes only to those whose eyes are blindfolded with a red rag. Take a bandage and cotton wool, tie a cloth over your eyes and say: “Eyeless Geoffrey, when we appear, we want to cure you.” Do not remove the bandage. When he comes, you will hear. To drive the monster away, say: “Go away, go away, go away” (very loudly).

How to make friends with creepypasta?

To prevent your favorite hero from harming you, knowledgeable people advise making friends with him. To become his friend, read the character's story, how he became that way.

Draw your own conclusions about what he will like and what he won’t. For example:

1. Jeffrey cannot be talked about about his appearance and you should always smile when you meet him. Otherwise he will think he is scary and get angry.
2. They say that Slenderman was never friends with anyone at all. He either leaves silently or takes you with him. Therefore, beware of meeting him and do not specifically look for him.
3. Toilet Hanako, on the other hand, is very sociable and tries to talk to everyone she meets. To make friends with her, talk about anything, just don't ask her how she got here. It is necessary to communicate with Hanako as with a living person.

To many people, all this will seem more than strange. But as long as the human race has existed, it has been inventing fairy tales for itself. This is just how modern fairy tales look.

So, we tried to clearly explain what creepypasta is. They talked about some of her heroes and their biographies. It is possible that new, unknown characters will now begin to appear.
