But I agree, it's a great tale of dread. ...Creepypastas ARE tales of dread. Um...no. You're wrong.

Creepypasta comes from Copypasta.

Copypastas are stories you copy and paste, creepypastas are the scary versions of these. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is a short story written before Creepypastas were a thing. Well I don't think that really matters, since if we really abided to that rule, we'd have to get rid of half of the Suggested Reading pastas and all of the Kafka pastas, Edgar Allan Poe pastas... it's kind of getting to a point where "pasta" refers to "scary story", isn't it? But yeah, you are right. That is the official definition of a Creepypasta.

For my favorite Creepypasta, I'd have to go with Ted the Caver. Never has a pasta been so long and yet so scary. I do not wish to live in a world where we refer to all scary stories as a type of noodle commonly relating to Italian cuisine! Well, welcome to that world! This world is a dark and terrible one. I will start a revolution to solve this issue. I'll go to the working class, and gain their support, and then the conservatives, and the liberals, and the youth!

Horror Story will not be known as spagetti anymore!
