User blog:TeaCupsinBlackandWhite/Creepypasta Riff: Where Bad Kids Go

Well hi. I found this interesting little pasta, which I resonate with because I watch kids often and have to threaten them with something to shut them up, so why not a place from the Creepypasta Wiki? Anyhow, I didn't feel like putting this riff off until the weekend, so as the saying goes, "Let's riff this bitch" :

Where Bad Kids Go

I must have been six or seven Why not both?  when I lived in Lebanon. The country was ravaged by war at the time, and murders were common and frequent As to be expected in a war and a creepypasta . I remember during a particularly vicious era, when the bombings rarely stopped, I would stay at home sitting in front of my television Wait, if there was bombing, wouldn’t you go to a barrack or something or is your home made of a Vibranium-steel alloy?  watching a very, very strange show You’ll get it when you’re older. .

It was a kids' show that lasted about 30 minutes and contained strange and sinister images <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Damn you Mister Sinister <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">. To this day I believe it was a thinly veiled attempt on the part of the media to use <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">scare tactics<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> to keep kids in place <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Just tell them that Shrek would visit them if they got out of hand. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, because the moral of every episode revolved around very uptight ideologies: stuff like, “bad kids stay up late,” <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Don’t tell that to people who use Tumblr. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> “bad kids have their hands under the covers when they sleep,” <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I think it is more like “lonely kids” <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> and “bad kids steal food from the fridge at night.” <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Tell that to the last kid that died of starvation.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">It was very weird, and in Arabic to top it off. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> Is that supposed to mean something? Is that a jab at stereotypes? <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> I didn't understand much of it, but for the most part the images were very graphic <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">God forbid a creepypasta has nothing graphic in it. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">and comprehensive. The thing that stuck with me the most, however, was the closing scene <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Let me guess, there was some sort of creepy scene with screaming. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">. It remained much the same in every episode. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> I see creativity wasn’t a priority to them. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> The camera would zoom in on an old, rusted, <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">closed door<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">. As it got closer to the door, strange and sometimes even agonizing screams   <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Told you. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">would become more <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">audible<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">. It was extremely frightening, especially for children's programming <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">You obviously never saw Flapjack or Courage the Cowardly Dog. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">. Then a text would appear on the screen in Arabic reading: “That's where bad kids go.” <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> The corner would do, y’know <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> Eventually both the image and the sound would fade out, and that would be the end of the episode. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Rooooolll credits!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">About 15 or 16 years later I became a journalistic photographer. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> “I was also bit by a radioactive spider that gave me super-spider abilities.” <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> That show had been in my mind all my life, popping up in my thoughts sporadically. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I like that word choice. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> Eventually I'd had enough, and decided to do some research. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">You don’t read enough creepypasta, you stay the hell away from childhood memories that provoke fear. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> I finally managed to uncover the location of the studio where much of that channel's programming had been recorded <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Much? Where was the rest recorded? <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">. Upon further research and eventually traveling on site, I found out it was now desolate and had been abandoned after the big war ended. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Again, get the hell away from shit like that.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I entered the building with my camera. It was burnt out from the inside. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Oooohh buuurn. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> Either a fire had broken out or someone had wanted to incinerate all of the wooden furniture. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> Either way that is a fire breaking out. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> After few hours of cautiously making my way into the studio and snapping pictures, I found an isolated out-of-the-way room. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I see where this is going, everyone sees where this is going. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> After having to break through a few old locks and managing to break the heavy <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">door open<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> Some things are locked for good reason, did you even knock first? <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> I remained frozen in the doorway for several long minutes. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">As oppose to several minute long minutes. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> Traces of blood <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">What a shocker! <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, feces <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">That is unsanitary, perhaps you should leave. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, and tiny bone fragments <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">How do you know that it’s bone fragments? <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> lay scattered across the floor. It was a small room, and an extremely morbid scene <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">It must be the place where bad kids go, and you know what? Bad kids go snooping in abandoned places when they should’ve gone to a therapist when consulting their fearful childhood memories. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(212,212,213);white-space:pre-wrap;">What truly frightened me, though, what made me turn away and never want to come back, was the bolted, caged microphone hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the room.. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(212,212,213);font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Have fun knowing your childhood entertainment/ fear was a real thing, I’d rather have the thought that perhaps it was all just silly effects. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(212,212,213);white-space:pre-wrap;">.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(212,212,213);white-space:pre-wrap;">I liked this pasta, honestly, I found it to be cute. I was especially happy to squeeze in a Spider-Man reference (I think Dorky would appereciate that). So yeah, sorry if my jokes suck, but if they do you don't have to go on reading them. Anyway, what did you think? Did you like it? Do you wish I would go where the bad kids go? Tell me in the comments below!
