Pasta of the Week: Laughing Jack

Image
If you have a fear of clowns, this story is not for you. Laughing Jack is a famous demon clown that originated in Laughing Jack by the online user SnuffBomb and went on to spawn a sequel, The Origin of Laughing Jack . This is a story about a murderous evil turned clown who was sent to befriend a little boy who lived a miserable life but Laughing Jack's personality reflected the boy's so when the little boy grew up to be a murderer due to his abusive child hood, LJ transformed into a murderous demon. I couldn't find much on what inspired this story but I imagine it has something to do with people's tendency to fear clowns. He befriends children before murdering them and sometimes, their parents and like all good villains, he has a back story that explains why he is the way he is. While researching this story, I found out that there was an Indiana girl who killed her stepmother in an attempt to please the fictional villain. This isn't the first time a CreepyPasta ins...

Technology in Horror

Technology has had a rapid growth in society in rapid years. Almost everyone you meet is going to have some kind of tablet, smart phone, or laptop. With that, came social media. Platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and so on. Because technology has become such a big part of our everyday lives, this gave writers fresh ideas to show the dark sides of technology. How can technology be scary? Well, its not as far fetched as you'd think. Take the 2015 horror movie  Unfriended for example. I love this movie. The entire movie takes place on a computer screen setting a good example for a technology based movie and a fresh take on the emerging found footage films that horror movies are starting to implement. An embarrassing video of Laura Barnes is anonymously posted online. The bullying that resulted from the video causes Laura to kill herself. On the one year anniversary, the six friends who played different roles in the suicide are all video...

Pasta of the Week: Abandoned by Disney

Image
As my first pasta of the week, I've decided to write about my favorite story, Abandoned by Disney. Disney World is known as the happiest place in the world but like every large empire, its home to a number of conspiracies and scandals. This story was written by a famous pasta writer known by his online name, Slimebeast. The story starts out with a bit of a back story on the location that this pasta takes place. It has a nice pace to it that doesn't give too little or too much detail. The story is about an abandoned Disney resort based off The Jungle Book in the late 1990s.The idea was that guest would experience a cruise that would drop them off at a massive jungle themed hotel set up in typical Disney style with mascots, attractions, and even an animal display but Disney is hiding a dark secret in the basement of the facility. I won't post too much about the story because its definitely worth a read. The ending is enough to unnerve any reader who has a love of Disney and ...
