I'm glad you agree. I think lost episodes and haunted games could work if they were given a standard. And about the games, yeah we would get a lot of whatever popular games are around (in fact there are seperate wikis for Minecraft creepypastas and Roblox creepypastas).

Believe it or not that "lost episode" of El Chavo Del Ocho is based on a true story. The creator wanted to end the story with El Chavo getting hit by a car, but his daughter, a child psychiatrist, advised against it as children might be scarred from seeing it. Fortunately because of this, they decided to go against this idea.

"If you want my own humble opinion, I feel like Creepypasta's origins go as far back as modern humans first existed." absolutely. Almost every country has its own mythology, a lot of which include evil spirits, or angry ghosts, or some kind of horror creature.

I think the lost episodes drew people to this site because a lot of people are media fans and have an interest in lost media. They are partly believable because there are actually lost episodes of television shows (though not necessarily horrifying) and lost movies. I think that what draws people into the lost episodes genre is the curiosity of something they are a fan of existing that they can't get their hands on, and even the possibility of something sinister going on behind everyone's back (the real-life Rugrats storyboard jam comes to mind here).
