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.
