    Wow. Wow. WOW! YOU GUYS! THIS TURNED OUT GREAT! Totally worth the wait! Jeff, you did an amazing job! Seriously, what the heck! I'm so impressed! You really brought the story to life. It was an honor to hear your final product. Wow. I'm still in awe. Thank you again for this opportunity! Hopefully I can submit more work in the future.

      This is one of the few pastas that actually managed to give me chills

      Dan David I'm so glad you're happy with this, Dan. It's a great story and the material was a ton of fun to work with. I especially enjoyed being the monster.

    Narrator/Composer/Executive Producer Jeff Clement here. Just wanted to say a big thanks to author Dan David. I really, really enjoyed working on this production. There was so much creative sound design that came from the writing, which is what I love to do, and some genuinely great chills. The fact that this came from a fan submission makes it that much cooler to me. We love that we can work together with our fans to tell original stories. I hope you guys enjoy listening to it as much as I did making it.
    Oh, and this one is best experienced with your headphones on and your volume up.

    Good work on the sound effects, the "demonic roar" was really scary. The stories are already good, but the way you guys kept ongoing sound effects made the story very easy to visualize. The narator has a very distinct clear voice, and very good "emotion" to drive the listener. I listen to these at work, at my desk with headphones, and they make the day go quicker, thanks guys!

  • @mikoda92
    @mikoda92 10 років тому +12

    I love how this video doesn't have music playing the entire time. I'm also loving the sound effects. Sometimes, stories are better without background music, especially horror stories. In most creepy pasta videos you hear on youtube, they have unnecessary music playing.
    This is one reason why I love CTFDN.

    @myketheartista5206 10 років тому +16

    It HAD to be one of those endings where it leaves you knowing that the boy will be ready to get back at the man and see if he has the pills. Awesome story and I loved the banshee scream thing the kid did, I was obsessed with that for some reason

  • @stonewars3224
    @stonewars3224 7 років тому

    A good thriller suspense story is all about surprises and jumping out of your seat at sounds, or sudden moments that you least expect to happen. It doesn't need blood, guts, gore, chainsaws, knives, or anything like that to be scary. The image, the picture you see of the swing and the lettering is enough to trigger curiosity, and make you know this is going to be a scary story. Well done and keep up the good work.

Ever since I heard it in late July I knew that this story was going to be the main one I referred people to when they too want another thrill factor in their life. This was my 1st time hearing it with my home audio system and I was so exciting for that howl to come on. Way past my expectations!

    Incredible story, I just can't figure out though, why he didn't report the incident? He has all the reason to do so.

    • @AuralStimulations
      @AuralStimulations 10 років тому +9

      Maybe because he feels that no one would believe him. Or maybe he thinks that the police know something about what happened and might try to cover it up?

    • @erikponciano
      @erikponciano 10 років тому +7

      Aural Stimulation the story doesn't strike me as a community conspiracy horror. The old man seems genuinely unaware that the kid is a monster.

    • @AuralStimulations
      @AuralStimulations 10 років тому +11

      I agree about the old man, but it is mentioned that the cop is clearly lying about the coyote attack. Now, that could just be because the cops have no clue what happened, but if that's the case why lie about it?

      Aural Stimulation I think the cops' first guess, the cayotes, is more likely than a monster boy with fangs (people in horror stories doesn't know they're in one). They may have a feeling there's foul play involved, maybe that's the reason they seem hesitant to announce the cause.
