So happy to see this pop up on your channel, Doc. Had a lot of fun writing this one! It was inspired by all the dead mall exploration videos out there.
I thought this was brilliant; one of the best things I've read in quite a while!
@@DrCreepen l
I thought it was an Incredible Story! PLEASE write us another Story, you are a Very Talented Writer! ☮️
I love this one! I’ve been reading and watching sci-fi and especially horror and mysteries my whole life and this is right up there with the best. And really, I’m not easily impressed.👍🏼👍🏾👍🏿
@@michelepruitt3145 I currently have 12 stories on the site (first link in the video description), and a few of them have been narrated on this channel. I like to write in a variety of sub-genres, too, so there should be other stories you'll like!
This is actually the psychotic break of a married man 4 hours into his wife's holiday shopping trip and the mall kiosk people won't stop pestering him to try a free sample of whatever they're selling.
😂🤣😂🤣 This is me any time anyone suggests shopping at any mall. I'd actually explore an abandoned mall though... But with my luck it would be infested with zombies and giant spiders.
Them auntie Anne’s pretzel samples be hittin tho I’m ngl
Sounds like personal experience lol 😆
As a woman sadly, I have to agree. Great take tho lol
Yep
this story was significantly better written than alot of creepy pastas today, loved every minute of this one.
Let's just be honest, this is hardly scary, we're just so inundated with Rules pastas anything out of that mold seems innovative.
@@Mortablunt yeah this is just a good exploration story, not actually scary but it was grounded and had a consistent plot. I've been trying to write myself because I want to add in and hopefully write a good story
@@Mortabluntoh I've kind of avoided those ones, are they that bad??
@@aaronsmith5947 There is nothing inherrently wrong with a rules pasta. Yet the primary motivator for horror is uncertainty. Uncertainty about what to do, what we're seeing, if we're going to survive. A rules pasta hands the audience a cheat sheet so they already know what will happen and how the protagonist will escape it.
I have seen it done only once really well, and that was where a lot of the events had contraindications and often occurred near simultaneously, so the rules hardly helped and you were left wondering what to do. Most rules pasta basically give you a scares preview and then escort you from scare and resolution to scare and resolution, so you already know everything from the start.
It was some forest ranger or fire lookout story, something over 30 minutes long, narrated by either MrCreeps or CreepsMcPasta, if I remember.
How is this not a found-footage horror movie? Very nice. Has a real Night Gallery vibe.
I agree! This would make a great film! The author needs to pitch this to a independent film maker, a big studio would most likely change way to much of the story
Well, the best you’d get is a short film. There’s only about 30 minutes of interesting visual content you can get from this.
@@zama422 I watched two hours of Ryan Reynolds in a box
Omg NIGHT GALLERY!! YASSS!!
@@zama422not true. Stick to reading
God that was good, I'm speechless 😳. Thank you Dr. you really made it feel like we were right in there with them.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is truly an excellent view into someone's imagination. A fantastic story! I had to pace around during this one... The suspense was exquisite.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I expected Mike and Jenna to have become a part of the mural. It was heartbreaking. I really wanted them to make it, you know? I just kept thinking, after everything started falling apart, why didn't they go back to the lost and found where it all began for them?
Dammit! I'm going to go drink now.
Freaking AMAZING STORY!
Appreciate the spoiler warning. Rather kind of you. . . . . . .
🤣💕
I saw this comment yesterday and happen to know a pair named Mike and Jenna, both gorgeous enough to be stars, but they're siblings, not a couple. They're my cousins, I haven't seen them in ages and this apparently triggered a bizarre dream in which I went to their house (mansion) but it was a frigging mess, closets of bs flowing out into hallways, my baby was gone,, my son was crying... oh he saw weird figures on the treeline that scared him (passed out watching the new Mrballen), just weird shit all around. Super creepy. Just woke up from it, actually, wanted to come tell you thanks for indirectly triggering a very odd nightmare.
@LibertyGoose X The comment section is made to discuss the content of the video. What else would you think it's for? So exhausting that people comment this same entitled thing time and time again.
@Brittany Mitchell Weird this story triggered a nightmare in me too. Though it was involving spiders there were definitely elements of the story blended into it.
A rare story where we sit back with our favorite drinks and listen...to a guy tell a story he witnessed while sitting back with his favorite drink and watched old videos from a mysteriously damaged go pro.
Perfect timing Doc! Your velvet voice makes the run on the treadmill fly by.
Love this kind of story, and a real treat to hear it in the Doc's voice.
Dr. Creepen, sir, I hope you're planning to read more like this.
Really good story very intriguing. Next line hey Doc your comments at the end reminded me of what me and a bunch of older people had said when online shopping was becoming more and more prevalent we all said it was going to ruin brick and mortar stores for the most part and everybody told me and my buddies that we were just being melodramatic and that people will always want to go out and shop here we are 15-20 years later and a lot of stores are closing down because of lack of customers and I’m talking BC (before Covid)
Excellent story!!!❤️
By far my favorite tale on this channel in years!
Doc, true to your word! This IS the scariest story you have given us so far. You are BRILLIANT!
🔥🎇🎆👊😎🎆🎇🔥
Thank you kindly
I’m just getting started and Thank you.♥️I don’t want to drag anyone down, but my Daughter has been missing for 4 years. And my 2 Grandchildren are with their Dad and he hasn’t allowed us to see them. So I’m living a true nightmare and your stories are so very important to me. They’re a distraction, to some extent. So God Bless you. I doubt most of you know what your stories mean to me.
you need to get the police involve that alienationated.
@@kylemcpherson1772 they are involved. They have been for some time now. But thank You.♥️Thé Colorado Bureau of investigation has taken it. Maybe they can do something.♥️
I hope things get better for you.
Are the kids safe with him? I'll be thinking of all of you; nightmare indeed.
@@DrCreepen Thank you so much. ♥️
When they're in an old Sears and he's clinging to that freaking tripod like that's the best weapon he could get his hands on lol
Axes. Axes.
Wow! This has to be the best creepypasta of 2022 for me, and the narration was excellent! Very well put together!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is now on my list of faves. I absolutely loved it! I listened to it while driving, but I think I'm going to take another listen when I'm at home with no distractions. Props to the author and you, good Dr., for reading it so splendidly.
Glad you like it!
Oh Wow! That was really good. Hope Mike and Jenna survive in the depths of the mural. Amazing.
This gave me a DrSleep vibe in knitting the tension and the mounting frustration in the couple . When I heard about the worms on the wall the great wyrm mentioned in Howard's work in the Hyborian age comes to mind . A well thought out and crafted story 😁
This was like a classic reccuring nightmare of mine i used to have when a kid. Your in a building ypur familiar with around people ypu know maybe friends or family. Then you slowly realize through suspicous behavior that they arent the people you know and your trapped.
I used to have that exact nightmare only there was also a trap door with a shark lmfao
Perfect, just in time for a long shift. Much love from Alaska.
Enjoy!
Please tell me about the background...I spent hours trying to figure out what I was looking at. Where is it from? If you made this, is there any way to get a copy? Hours trying to figure out what exactly it was that was sharing the crap out of me! Love it! Perfect addition to the story. Narration was absolutely perfect. Set the mood from the start, kept me and wouldn't let go!
It's the inside of a church here in Maastricht.
Wow! Unique and captivating! And such a great job, Doc. ♥️
Thank you kindly!
@@DrCreepen just being honest. 👍🏼👍🏾👍🏿♥️
Ohh I’m so excited to curl up and listen! Damn you did a story with the only other narrator I listen to and I had a crazy moment of pure bliss. Both of my favourite voices in ONE video. Thank you for every story I’ve enjoyed and the perfect pacing and tones of your voice!
Now we're talking!
Or perhaps, listening 😉?
Thank you , Doctor 😁
😁
Just in time for bedtime! No better way to fall asleep then to listen to creepy stories!
I thought it was just me who found peace in horror stories ..... im almost dissapointed
@@devintaylor7049 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA they blatantly ignored you hilarious , im dead 🙉🙊🙈
@@devintaylor7049 youre literally a viking arent you it takes one to know one hmmm at least youre interesting. Go on tell ME im boring , tell me im ugly , tell me anything !!!!!
Absolutely the scariest Creepypasta of the year by many miles. Even your quick autopsy of the place was chilling.
Hell yeah ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you
No problem!!
Story time with the Doc! My favorite time 🎉.
I listened to dead man running, for the 5th time. My ultimate favorite 😍. 10:45
God i adore this one. So atmospheric, not based on SA horror, well paced in every single way.
At least it’s not a rule story and that’s about all the good I can say about it; I couldn’t figure out where the scary part was supposed to be. Ending was lame and seems like the author just ran out of impetus and reaching into the creepypasta standard bag of tricks and came up with that monster out of nowhere. Horror requires a certain kind of threat and one perfume lady who spends 90% of her time not even bothering doesn’t suffice.
If ‘SA horror’ is what I think… I didn’t realize that was a common theme… I listen to a lot..
Also it’s a shame our speech has become so pathetically butchered we’re creating new words that mean the same thing. Isn’t Newspeak interesting?
Thank you so much for the upload doc, you're narrations really help me unwind after a long day. Keep up the great work
I think i heard this story a while ago, But it's refreshing to hear another narrator tell this story. Thanks Doc
I'm not even yet done with the story but wanted to say how much I love this video footage on this one. You do so well with these and I always love the color changing filter. This made for a creepy vibe everytime I glance at my tablet. Thanks Good Doc!
You always capture the vibes PERFECTLY! Great narration my man
I try my best!
@@DrCreepen and you're WINNIN bro! haha! Keep killin it 💪🏿🔥💪🏿🔥💪🏿
Saved the video till it was well after dark for me... and despite me focusing on my Pokemon SV, the story kept drawing my attention and i couldn't help but listen to it more intently. Gave me a few good chills and is legit making me question it and what happened to the two. Great Story, Great Narration Absolutly love it Doc
Thanks again for another amazing story
I would've gone straight to the sporting goods store and loaded up on guns and ammo.
Interestingly enough there's a mall in the county next to me that despite it dieing the owners are still building on to it trying to keep it alive.
They still building on it?
Great telling my man.
The scariest part about this is that sbarro still exists to this day
Malls always depressed me. Malls and fences. I need to be analyzed lol. And watching people gamble..it's that same glazed over look and your just like "Hello, can you hear me" (you know in the style of Billie Myers ...if we're going to keep it in theme with the 80's or early 90's). I'm sorry, I shouldn't comment when I'm slap happy. Thanks for the story!
Excellent Story... Trippy... I thought this was going to be a backroom horror. But it turned out way better.
Abomination of a Mall + two beings with nothing better to do + ratings = complete horror. Thanks for narrating this tale, Doctor Creepen!
That was phenomenal!
hey Dr, i just wanted to share an anecdote. I have insomnia, and i used to stay up almost all night just starting at the ceiling until i would either eventually crash or the sun would come up. not very good thing to be happening to a middle schooler. then i found you, and the creepypasta community. Every single night i put a video on because for some reason they help me fall asleep. i pretty much can’t sleep without them now. i just wanted to say thanks i guess. keep doin what you’re doin!
Little hot tea with a hefty splash of cbd oil put me right in the mood to geek out over this one.
What kind of tea are you drinking? I tend to go for the herbal blends without any caffeine myself. And the CBD is a nice additive 👍 I tend to go with full spectrum after being paralyzed for a year I need a little THC with my CBD for pain management.
@@awaren8375 I do Charlotte's web full spectrum with chamomile in the evenings.
Happy New Year Dr. Creepen!
I really appreciate you so much more than you probably know
Anyone else notice how Dr C came make even old Dillard's sound like an upscale store :) love the story
3:21am here and I'm in pain, my dog won't stop howling.. So I'm listening to you doc to just deafen everything. Hopefully the pain would subside soon
Another great story again from Dr Creepen!!
shit, I've been waiting for more of this series
That was pretty good. Abandoned places are always cool.
I will be following you. Keep up the great work.
Ha! The Rocketeer. I remember when that came out.... barely.
This is now one of my favorites..tough ending tho❤
Wow! That was especially terrifying! Kudos to you Doc, and the writer for a great performance and story!
Glad you liked it!
That was excellent!
Dang, really hoped Mike and Jen will make it out of this. For some reason I have much more sympathy for couples in this kind of stories.
Thank God you are here Doc. I've had some troubles and had to change my pillowcase due to tears. I would lose my mind without you.
Listen to the voices....
Well damn! I’m completely blown away by this one, and grateful for it! Dr Creepen, you brought us Gold today, and thank you tremendously Tyler for writing such an amazing and detailed peek into the mind of a lunatic, a genius, or something far beyond our understanding. Yet that still doesn’t matter, as the story and the reality of how many possibilities there were is truly astounding, and hard to know when, how, and if they were real? Did Mike take the classes, as if he had, he’d have been a video savant, and well know for it. Or Was it all real? Was the monster that pushed perfume like crack in the ‘80s actually exist? Or was it a very good and inspirational creation from the mind of Mike, the boyfriend of the brunette with the Big Blue Eyes? So many coincidences, and so many line up that it makes total sense in many ways, or none in every way! I’m going through a complete mindfuk and and I have our author Tyler to thank for this. So for now, I’m going to double my dosage and rethink it all, and afterwards I may come up with more to add in my comment. But one thing I can easily feel confident in saying is tremendous job gentlemen! It’s why I come here, and why I am never left wanting! Bravo!!!!👏👏👏👏 Top Marks Gentlemen!! 👍👍👍
Dr Creepen. 💝
So happy to find this today. 😂
Thank You so Much. 😘
My phone will run out of power soon and so I will pick this up again in a bit. 💝
🌵
The Perfume Lady is 100 meters from your location and closing rapidly :3
When family gets to crazy during the holidays, I turn to my Doctor for metal de-stressing...
Thanks again Dr Creepen.
This one going to be good.
I'm here! Yay, new story!
Black Friday is equal to a day in hell. What a nightmare.
I would effing LOVE LOVE to go back to the 90z
This would be an EXCELLENT episode of Black Mirror ❤
Wonderful story, paired with amazing narration = 1 great video! Happy New Year 🎉 🍾🥂
This story has some real SCP 3008 - Infinite Ikea vibes.
You are the true heavy weight of creepy pasta STORY TELLERS
#77-✅👍🏻
OHH, THE DRAMA -
LIKE..
SO 80's...
😂😎😉✌️
Footnote, should have ended with the two in the mural..
😲🤔😉
Red high tops and tripod!
I was enthralled by this story all the way through to the very end! Loved it, except for the ending. Very anti climatic, no real sign of what happened, or even why. What did I overlook?
Pretty sure I heard this story before, though I dunno if it was you who narrated it, Doc, or if it was Mr. Creeps or one of the many other narrators I’m subbed to.
It’s from the Vault. You probably heard it when he released it for the first time. :)
I'm subbed to Mr. Creeps too, but he's not near the narrator the Doctor is. Nobody is, actually. Mr. Creeps sound like a Vally Boy, narrating. There's nothing "creepy" about him at all.
@@dextermorgan1 Don’t be mean to Creeps, my dude. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a rather handsome voice for narration, and to his credit, he does the best with the voice the good Lord decided to give him.
Not that I’m upset with you or anything, I just don’t like folks getting picked on for stuff that’s completely out of their control since that’s always been a point of contention for me after being diagnosed with autism at a young age. 🤗
Too bad he stopped swearing in his narration. Makes it seem lame.
this happened to me just yesterday
The Good Doctor once again provides us with a very interesting story.
YESSSS!!! SHOWTIME!!!!
Love it Doc, but LOVE you oh so much more 😘❤️😘😘😘😘😘
Wow, thank you!
Thanks!
Very kind of you!
Gosh that was great!!!! What an absolute cracker 🎉
Just letting you know Mr. Creepin. That this story has been on previously, just under a different title is all. Still a great story tho!
Your the only reason I listen too stories on this amazing channel Dr creepen.please do more on HELL and maybe fkd up Tennessee stories I'm from the east side. Thank you so much for what you do I do have a shit ton of ideas if u don't mind but at this moment I'm in a major rush today thank you so much Dr.
Mmm warm pretzels 🤤
If it's the scariest of the year at this date it has to be good by definition lol
Does anyone else think they need to throw a coin in the fountain from the year they are from in order to escape?
I was thinking that , essentially. Yep
I've heard this one, there's a reading of it from over a year ago from the channel "creepy ghost stories".
Saved the best for last, eh? Nice!
Leeettssss goooooo I’m about to sleep good!
This was an amazing story tonight. An abandoned mall sets the stage for great, eerie tales. The mural is what fascinated me most about the story. Thank you. Have a fantastic day ❤️💖🥰🤗🌟
Glad you enjoyed it
Love this story!
This story is awesome!!! I was really hoping we’d know what happened to them.
The hunted white baseball cap in the corner of this video is just sending me. Lol.
Currently at 42:00 and I couldn’t relate to Mike more and I wasn’t even born til 96
Anyone else feel like they were trapped inside the mural?
The way Doc says Dillard's keeps making me laugh every time I hear it. It's too goofy 🤭 Great job and thank you to the author and Dr Creepen ❤
A dead mall without answers and no escaping from the past
I'd smoke a bowl inside then be outta there.
Legend
Creepy!!!
Anyone know what Dr.Creepend favourite drink is? I’m gonna take a wild guess he might be bourbon man 🥃
WTH I got unsubscribed from. Glad you showed up in my feed. UA-cam is really pissing me off.
