SOME FOOTAGE IN THIS VIDEO BELONGS TO:

[Ginoooski]

Shmorky being zalgo's creator is the biggest plot twist I've seen

[EmployeeAMillion]

The Toy Story exe games seem like the kind of adventures Andy would think up for them while going through his edgy tween phase.

[DeviemTwen]

It would be funny if someone made a .exe version out of an actual horror game, but instead it’s constantly lighthearted imagery with rainbows, unicorns, etc.

[sebastianhama]

shmorky was actually communicating with a real digital chaos god the whole time and went insane like a lovecraft protagonist

[commenter_HIMIK-MAN]

Rouge.exe just looks like somebody wanted to make a hot demon/goth Rouge game rather than anything actually scary.

[Silvahhhhhhhhhh]

i remember as a kid being super into sonic.exe, i even tried to download the game only to accidentaly download a virus with naked women in it. truly a more horrifying experience for 8 yo me than that game could ever offer.

Oh God
I feel like my knowledge of internet history has been uprooted by that revelation about Zalgo.

[Kumaclaws]

Shmorky being the original creator of Zalgo was the scariest revelation. Happy Halloween indeed!

[plaguekidd]

Hearing mentions of people that MagicMush has already done videos on is always hype. It feels like I’m being rewarded for my obsessive rewatching these essays.

[SirLightsOut]

One thing that always bothered me about those .exe games is that they were supposed to be based on old 8/16 bit cartridges, yet a lot of them feature sound files that would not be compatible with the aforementioned cartridges. I know it’s just a minor thing in the grand scope of how bad a lot of these games are, but it doesn’t do much to save the atmosphere of what they were going for.

[LikaLaruku]

Ted the Caver; the elderly proto-creepypasta, is still the best creepypasta: No cliches/tropes, based on real-life events, relies on realistic fears such as claustrophobia & cave-ins, a monster is implied but never seen, you could remove the monster entirely & it would not only not impact the horror of the story but probably make it even better.

[propane_salesman]

Imagine a scary, disturbing version of Half Life 2 called "hl2.exe"

[MrThejoshmon]

Finally, it used to surprise me how little people knew how egregious the blatant plagiarism in Sally.exe was. Great to see it mentioned here.

[theicepickthatkilledtrotsk]

Personally, Doug Walker.exe was the scariest.

[GMan]

Hearing Shmorky created Zalgo was the biggest whiplash I’ve ever gotten.

I remember being terrified of Zalgo back then, so just hearing that high pitched voice associated with Zalgo has killed any mysticism with him lmao.

[TheRoseBoy]

Can't wait for next year's edition called "The God-Awful videos spawned by God-Awful games spawned by a God-Awful creepypasta".

[DjDeadpig]

The fact that Sonic.exe of all things spawned all of these fan games is really inspiring but also depressing considering the stories shit quality.

[UndesignatedFellow]

No Creepypasta/horror game can even compare to the emotions brought by seeing Tails on a bench.

[lewatoaofair]

The abundance of .exe games makes it feel as though it has skewed the perception of the file form. I mean, “.exe” means it’s an “execution” file that runs the other assets; it’s how apps on a computer operate.
So, how many dumb kids out there would have dug through their computer files, stumbled across such a file, and legit shiver in terror?

[ItsJustElenore]

"The end is neigh"

The spoopyness was on point.
