I'm always glad to see someone else who hates "Squidward's Suicide". Its defenders have the right to say it's a classic, and we have the right to say it's terrible!

I guess part of the reason why Squidward's Suicide got to be so popular was because it spear-headed the whole 'hyper-realism' and 'subliminal photos' thing. I admit that when I first started getting into Creepypastas, Squidward's Suicide really upset me with the graphic descriptions of murdered children, but it was definitely a cheap scare. I honestly think that it isn't horrible or badly written, but it's very heavy handed and goes more for shock value than actual suspense or tension.

Sonic.exe... I don't know, it never really hit home with me. I don't hate it, I just thought it was kind of lame. Ghoulish, sure, terrifying, not quite.

Tails Doll... yeah, Tails Doll never scared me. Like, at all. The character himself is kind of disconcerting, I guess, but having him crawl out of the TV like Samara Morgan? I don't think so.
