@@emmakjaersgaard2894 well it’s a biblical name, and they were conquered by the Spanish so a lot of filipino names tend to sound or be a mix of Spanish and their native language or just Biblical since the Spanish brought catholicism
Listen, you can't make me laugh like that. My lungs are all screwed up from when i had the fricken plague last month and a good hearty laugh make me cough! Even so, 11/10 spirits to you
The best part about this is that the man never specifically refers to himself as weak. He says ‘people like me’ or ‘frail appearance’ but never really cops to any particular active fragility of his own. Even the emphysema is just a cough. It’s a good touch.
Yes! Gingham you Wizard of Oz Dorothy! Love your comment, but mentioned earlier. . . seriously believe it was all he could find. Good job Shane. And, yeah, dude Shane, you, too, are white as hell. It's ok. Thank you for your post. Hope you and Gatling group are happy and well for the holidays.
I can imagine the old man telling a story like "In that moment a roman soldier tried to stab me but i sliced him in tow parts, ahh the good old times" and the family just nods pretending that they listened
"There was this one time some homeless guy ran up to me in the middle of the street , and get this : he threw a featherless chicken at me and said : " BEHOLD ! A MAN" and before i could say anything he ran away , like seriously what the heck, who does that ?"
The most unrealistic part of this story for me is the fact that the family is just now killing the old guy when it's already dinner time. You still have to clean up the blood, prepare him, cut him up, AND cook him. I mean it takes 3 hours to cook an unstuffed turkey and a whole human being would almost undoubtedly take longer. You gonna eat at 3 am or what?
This was honestly the most gripping story told on this show, and they've all been good! Like, this reminds me of those short stories you'd read in English class in middle or high school that stick in your mind and mess you up for the rest of your life. I love it. Horrific. I will be thinking about it for the rest of the day.
I know what kind of short stories you're talking about!! Happened to me with every story I read ahead of time instead of in class because they were so gripping! So glad I'm not the only one
I'm not from the US but did you guys have this story about a lady who was slowly dying unable to get up of bed and his husband had no idea what was happening and when she eventually die, he finds a huge tick on her pillow that was sucking all her blood. Or maybe this other one about a child who constantly complains about his sister to his mother and the mother gets really angry every time and prohibit to talk about his sister, so the girls keeps hating her brother and being evil with him because she thinks is his fault their parents don't love her anymore, so one day she plans to drown her brother because then he will have to sleep in the wood box in the ground just like she has
@@liliflores7493 girl no I've never read these but they sure will haunt me now! They sound like the kind of stories you wouldn't be able to keep from reading late at night and regretting it. I'm not from the US either. I remember Poe's telltale heart being scary the first time I read it. I'm sure there were others but I don't remember them in much detail.
I’d just like to take a second to thank the person who illustrates all of the videos, her name is Mollie Ong (I believe). She makes these so eerie and fun to watch.
totally agree, her style is dynamic which worked beautifully for this story in particular. The music also contributed potently here and of course the boys!. A class story
Only eat the ones who slit your throat and stab you repeatedly for parental approval. They are messed up. Eat those guys, their parents, and maybe an old, soft lady on your way home for desert. Hahaha. Thank you and good season and holidays.
For all of those that don't know, Michael Whitehouse, the writer of this story, is a famous Creepy pasta author and has a quite a few other amazing stories like this one if you're interested
@@tiagoroodrigues It was also read/told on Otis Jiry's Scary Stories Told in the Dark podcast. The author made sure they got their story told everywhere.
@@englishatheart : I much prefer stories that are spectacularly fictional than fake stories posing as real. A couple other "are you scared?" segments are of clearly fake stories, to me, that I end up arguing with people in the comments about who fall for it.
Dude, I was thinking that they are preparing for a seance. Like I thought maybe the candles will come next and then they'll do a seance where the old man will be the sacrifice to the demon they will be calling. This story was better than my theory.
Helltonuhyeah! With you 100% Great Shane/Ryan distraction, though. Worker mode...get us through, get us through. . .help me finally get over it next July. To you, Happy January 10th to 15th-ish when shock starts wearing off, and where I live you are too cold to remember that a Holiday happened. Illinois. It is what it is. Just stay as sane as possible, be nice, and trust it WILL end and be over for at least a year.
Sweetest. Well, no. In your face. Thought wrong. Hahaha, thank you and stay safe and well. Hoping the best for everyone of yours through the holidays and into the new year.
"Everyone in the neighborhood loved them" I'm immediately suspicious. Everyone? Everyone loved them? The children are angels that cause no trouble? The parents are a 100% lovable and never did anything wrong? I don't believe that for a second. It's either a cult or a killer family. Perfection falls directly in Uncanny Valley

Yes. Just please. Do this for us all. Hook up, and make it a show. Thank you and Happy Whatever You Want and are Hoping For.during the change of times.
Theory: The Christmas cards in their home came from people that they ate. And if that's actually the case it makes the whole situation even more terrifying.
That was sooooo good I felt so sad when they were “murdering” the old man but it then it hit me like he’s still telling the story.... how!!!!!!! Then it all made sense I Iove it so glad they got what was coming to them.
I honestly expected that if it were somehow true, perhaps someone knocked on the families door and the old man was rescued but that was unrealistic. Damn, this was a really gripping story!
I've read the original story and quite glad to say this was the better version. In the original, it was explicitly stated right from the beginning that the family tried to eat him but he lived. Kinda took away the danger and mystery tbh
This immediately reminds me of all the old legends and myths about gods or spirits appearing at someone doorstep. Like, if your nice they'll reveal themselves and give you something, but I guess they don't always go into detail about what happens if you do something negative to them. This story is a good answer to that lol.
he sounded like he was genuinely looking forward to the turkey and good company. until you know the family attacked him. then he was like you want to play that game, i can play that game
I’m curious wether the old guy intended to eat the family all along, or did it as a response to their attack. I like to think the latter because it makes it more a “be careful who you see as a victim” story That was a good tale!
Unfortunately, Ryan would go on to eat himself, only to realize he was dying of bloodlost.... He picks up the phone in a hurry, calls 911....Then dies.
YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!! It is the best story!!!! The rabbit one though, for me, yuck. This one, of course, when it went real or imagined? we all knew, but did not even care at that point. We were all , like, go Old Man Vampie Grampie". They smurked, smugged, grinned, gave the crossed/ knowing looks, stabbed, kudoed, cajoled, hugged and thought they had his as*. Not today, F-d up people. Not today. Merry Christmas. The story itself: BOMB-diggety, sorry, old fashioned phrase for supurb. Nice. One of the best, and can't wait to look this guy up and read more. Thank you Ryan and Shane for this wonderful holiday introduction.
This was the best episode. I mean this was like... Wow. The protagonist not being killed and instead being the killer? That's definitely rare.... It was less scary but it kept me at my edges, plus the illustrations were great
STRANGER THINGS!!!! Crap! They are all so big now and we got screwed!!!!! Love Ryan, Shane, WATCHER. At least we have something. And, IT"S GOOD. Glad this show is keeping us going. Thank you for your comment, and never missed an END season more than Stranger Things. Love that show. Loving this one. Hope you have a happy end/beginning of years.
Thank you Ruby! Many times are lonely times. Lonely is just a place where you are by yourself, though. Sometimes it is peaceful. Sometimes we just don't know where anyone else is or might be. Nobody's fault. Just life. Hope your are able to connect with someone other than cannibals and vampires this time of year! "F" the calendar. Throw that thing away. Every day is a new one. I would like to celebrate every day as if it had potential for greatness, and not just the odd few "popular" days, that someone else told me were important, and days where everyone 'should' do stuff. Everyone of our days is important, and we can jolly well do stuff all day long if we want. Thank you for your comment and stay safe and well.
Good idea. Though, teeth are important to look at with people who smile. If their teeth are yellow and coarse, it’s likely they don’t have a lot of time for good dental health or drink a lot of coffee. If their teeth are completely white, they’re lying. Nobody has completely white teeth. If they’re grayish, the person doesn’t drink caffeine but has very good dental hygiene. If their teeth have a red tint, they just gave horrible dental hygiene that makes their gums bleed. You may think red teeth are cannibalistic signs, but think about it. When you eat steak rare, your teeth aren’t stained with cow blood. So all I’m saying is to never trust a perfect smile, because if it’s too perfect, it isn’t human.
@@yatomcyato6459 This is really weird but thanks for the info. It was kinda interesting. I won’t be smiling at you though because I feel like you might rip out all my teeth to inspect them This has the energy of “everytime I see someone smiling, all I see is an ape begging for its life”
Ooohhh, that was great! Well written and an excellent twist! I love it when there's a sudden pivot in the story and you notice details that point to the eventual surprise. With the unnamed narrator was revealed as a vampire, the mention of his having been invited in took on a new meaning. In a lot of European vampire folklore traditions vampires can't enter a home unless they've been invited in. They'll adopt the disguise of an old, frail man or woman to trick people, especially if the weather is bad. The difficult thing for them to maintain the disguise long enough to not tip off their host. Also, one of my favorite parts of these videos is Ryan's evil goblin laugh at the end ^ _^
Family: looks totally harmless Family: *attempts to eat their guest* Me: of course they do Man: did you forget I said centuries? Me: of course they did
Me too! They totally did enjoy it! It DID rock the socks off the candy AS* Christmas cookie crunch. Leave that one on the plate for Saint NIck. What's he going to bring a vampire and a fam of cannibals? Not sh#t, is what. You guys are too far gone that even Christmas can't make you right. Pretty far gone, then. Santa just kept steering reigndeer clear of THAT place. Hahaha. Happy Holidays.
Unoreverse. It is exactly like saying Universe with the weird, creepy vampire, NOT yours, not your universe. Unoreverse. MINE. Like it for a vampire. Thank you and good holiday!
I keep coming back to this episode, the storytelling is perfect and the author really makes us feel sad for the old man until the plot twist! My favorite one so far.
Yessss. Dang! Could've already been watching and loving this. Hope this author hooks up with some producer script people.

Now that you mention it, your right. He never once did say he was "weak" and it was a good twist at the end
he also used rather old English sometimes while speaking.

This has the same energy as that goosebumps book where the girl was scared of the monster eating her family and then family ate the monster
What book was this? There's too many to keep track.
@Pessimisticfish
"The girl who cried monster"
@@BlueGangsta1958 thx xx
It’s oddly wholesome in a way
@@justanormalguy5496 Yeah! Like a monster who fights monsters.
That was sooooo good I felt so sad when they were “murdering” the old man but it then it hit me like he’s still telling the story.... how!!!!!!! Then it all made sense I Iove it so glad they got what was coming to them.
I honestly expected that if it were somehow true, perhaps someone knocked on the families door and the old man was rescued but that was unrealistic. Damn, this was a really gripping story!
Seriously. Right. Excellent, with it all the way, beginning to end. Happy end of this year and hopeful beginning to you in the next.
Granted, the story about the elevator was told by the narrator in a roundabout way
I thought he was gonna be haunting them. But it was so much better.
I've read the original story and quite glad to say this was the better version. In the original, it was explicitly stated right from the beginning that the family tried to eat him but he lived. Kinda took away the danger and mystery tbh
This immediately reminds me of all the old legends and myths about gods or spirits appearing at someone doorstep. Like, if your nice they'll reveal themselves and give you something, but I guess they don't always go into detail about what happens if you do something negative to them. This story is a good answer to that lol.
I wonder what the "old man" would have done if this was just a regular nice family. Would he still have feasted that night?
he sounded like he was genuinely looking forward to the turkey and good company. until you know the family attacked him. then he was like you want to play that game, i can play that game
You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. Now I’m the bad guy.
He would've feasted. On that turkey
@@ghostlyhousehorrors Im pretty sure that with the talk about the old country and it being Christmas, he might be krampus
Kill em! This is a story about monsters, there are no heroes.
"Don't eat the elderly...
Only the rich.
.... hehehehe"
Hell yeah ✌🏼
Yeeessssssssss ✊
we love to see it
You're advocating the cannibalism of human beings based on your financial insecurities?
LordSesshaku do u know what a “joke” is
@@LordSesshaku "Eat the rich" isn't (necessarily) literal.
I’m curious wether the old guy intended to eat the family all along, or did it as a response to their attack. I like to think the latter because it makes it more a “be careful who you see as a victim” story
That was a good tale!
"Do not eat the elderly" "Just the rich" GO OFF RYAN
Unfortunately, Ryan would go on to eat himself, only to realize he was dying of bloodlost....
He picks up the phone in a hurry, calls 911....Then dies.
*laughs in communist*
@@appleuwumer laughs in conservative who eats communists
@@ElegantArtist123 You killed the joke 👎🏻
I’m the one thousandth like
I can always tell its a story when there's a kid called timmy.
😂😂
Timmy turner
because as everyone knows, Timmy isn't a real name
My brother in law is named Timmy
I have a friend named Timothy.. we call him Timmy
Shane: “do not eat the elderly”
Ryan: “just the rich”
ICON 😌
i wanted to cry when the old man was “afraid” but now i think this is the best story ??????
YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!! It is the best story!!!! The rabbit one though, for me, yuck. This one, of course, when it went real or imagined? we all knew, but did not even care at that point. We were all , like, go Old Man
Vampie Grampie". They smurked, smugged, grinned, gave the crossed/ knowing looks, stabbed, kudoed, cajoled, hugged and thought they had his
as*. Not today, F-d up people. Not today. Merry Christmas. The story itself: BOMB-diggety, sorry, old fashioned phrase for supurb. Nice. One of the best, and can't wait to look this guy up and read more. Thank you Ryan and Shane for this wonderful holiday introduction.
hello
@@danitawhitson1153 i agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. wowwwww
@@danitawhitson1153 full form of bc?
Ok but that illustration where he realize he was gonna get eaten?? SO GOOD. IT MADE ME SO SAD FOR HIM LIKE THAT MOMENT WAS CAPTURED SO PERFECTLY😭😭
This was the best episode. I mean this was like... Wow. The protagonist not being killed and instead being the killer? That's definitely rare.... It was less scary but it kept me at my edges, plus the illustrations were great
“I’ve never been rooting for a boy to pee himself”
Haven’t you seen stranger things?
STRANGER THINGS!!!! Crap! They are all so big now and we got screwed!!!!! Love Ryan, Shane, WATCHER. At least we have something. And, IT"S GOOD. Glad this show is keeping us going. Thank you for your comment, and never missed an END season more than Stranger Things. Love that show. Loving this one. Hope you have a happy end/beginning of years.
HAH! oh that was good, but I still can’t wait for season four
"or for others, perhaps, one of the lonelier times in the calendar."
thanks ryan. thanks a lot.
Reminders reminders
so glad to see someone with a fine line display photo here
HaRoLd ?
Thank you Ruby! Many times are lonely times. Lonely is just a place where you are by yourself, though. Sometimes it is peaceful. Sometimes we just don't know where anyone else is or might be. Nobody's fault. Just life. Hope your are able to connect with someone other than cannibals and vampires this time of year! "F" the calendar. Throw that thing away. Every day is a new one. I would like to celebrate every day as if it had potential for greatness, and not just the odd few "popular" days, that someone else told me were important, and days where everyone 'should' do stuff. Everyone of our days is important, and we can jolly well do stuff all day long if we want. Thank you for your comment and stay safe and well.
oh to be so lonely
i knew the family was evil when they said the dad was a police chief
ACAB, BABEY!
and that's facts, 1312
I love your cat pfp
periodt.
u should try living in a city without a police force, see how it goes for ya
I was immediately suspicious of the family when I heard the description. They were too smiley. I don’t trust people that smile that much
Good idea. Though, teeth are important to look at with people who smile. If their teeth are yellow and coarse, it’s likely they don’t have a lot of time for good dental health or drink a lot of coffee. If their teeth are completely white, they’re lying. Nobody has completely white teeth. If they’re grayish, the person doesn’t drink caffeine but has very good dental hygiene. If their teeth have a red tint, they just gave horrible dental hygiene that makes their gums bleed. You may think red teeth are cannibalistic signs, but think about it. When you eat steak rare, your teeth aren’t stained with cow blood. So all I’m saying is to never trust a perfect smile, because if it’s too perfect, it isn’t human.
@@yatomcyato6459 This is really weird but thanks for the info. It was kinda interesting. I won’t be smiling at you though because I feel like you might rip out all my teeth to inspect them
This has the energy of “everytime I see someone smiling, all I see is an ape begging for its life”
A very fine description, at best.
:)
I was literally sitting at my computer refreshing the Watcher page to wait for this lol
😔✊🏻
Yeah me too
Yes
samee.
We make a club and call ourselves Watcher Refresh watchers?
i love how the old man pulled the biggest and baddest uno reverse card in history👌 wow i love this 🔥🔥🔥
“ben was a police chief”
me: immediate mistrust
ACAB
to quote the professor "ACAB baby!"
I legit said "okay well ACAB then" lmao
sol me too bruh
How's your first year of college going?
“Boy, did I eat well on that Christmas” grandpa SAVAGEEE
I would have liked a commentary like "but dad was a little gamey."
@@recoil53 lmao that would be neat haha
Thanks
this is making me miss shane's long hair i'm grieving
You're cool. Yes, love the long Shane Shag. It'll grow back. Happy Holidays
The old man: call an ambulance, call an ambulance!!! *pulls knife out of his hand*
*but not for me*
Ooohhh, that was great! Well written and an excellent twist! I love it when there's a sudden pivot in the story and you notice details that point to the eventual surprise. With the unnamed narrator was revealed as a vampire, the mention of his having been invited in took on a new meaning. In a lot of European vampire folklore traditions vampires can't enter a home unless they've been invited in. They'll adopt the disguise of an old, frail man or woman to trick people, especially if the weather is bad. The difficult thing for them to maintain the disguise long enough to not tip off their host.
Also, one of my favorite parts of these videos is Ryan's evil goblin laugh at the end ^ _^
Family: looks totally harmless
Family: *attempts to eat their guest*
Me: of course they do
Man: did you forget I said centuries?
Me: of course they did
Im just glad seeing the boys enjoying a macabre story about vampires. The story rocks dude. We really enjoyed it. Kudos!!
Me too! They totally did enjoy it! It DID rock the socks off the candy AS* Christmas cookie crunch. Leave that one on the plate for Saint NIck. What's he going to bring a vampire and a fam of cannibals? Not sh#t, is what. You guys are too far gone that even Christmas can't make you right. Pretty far gone, then. Santa just kept steering reigndeer clear of THAT place. Hahaha. Happy Holidays.
@@englishatheart Ryan says so..Never seen one so I can't validate if it is not 🤣
I'm glad it went this way. I wanted to cry when I saw the sketch of his sad, old face at 6:26
The little boy pulling out a knife had me in hysterics
“What do you have?”
“A knife!”
“NO!”
The old man really pulled an uno reverse card
Unoreverse. It is exactly like saying Universe with the weird, creepy vampire, NOT yours, not your universe. Unoreverse. MINE. Like it for a vampire. Thank you and good holiday!
I keep coming back to this episode, the storytelling is perfect and the author really makes us feel sad for the old man until the plot twist! My favorite one so far.
Salute to the person or people who do the art it’s hella creepy but so good at telling the story
Thank you for your reply. Agree. Artwork masterfulled the creepollogistics. Very nice. Let's draw something.
The entire time I was like “this should be a movie”
I would pay for a movie like this🤩
We need a Hanukkah Movie first
Yessss. Dang! Could've already been watching and loving this. Hope this author hooks up with some producer script people. Watcher. . .pull some strings and get this show made, or . . .HEY. . .Your're a creative lot. . .start making these yourselves. Thank you for your reply and thank you Watcher. Happy well and safe Holidays!
15:05 he really pulled an uno reverse card there
Shane: Don't eat the elderly
Ryan: Just the rich!
honestly my favourite part
LMAO.
which is ironic considering how much Ryan and Shane earn. Upper class elites though they are still funny and charismatic.
@@momomomocensoredbyyoutube9085 eat the rich refers to billionaires
@@momomomocensoredbyyoutube9085 uhh when we say eat the rich we don’t mean content creators making a good earning, we mean millionaires + billionaires that have exploited others to gain their wealth :-)
@@woke6878 it used to include millionaires too. I was there, I know full well.
Nobody:
The old man: Call an ambulance! *BUT NOT FOR ME!*
Okay but I never get tired of Ryan narrating stories 😌 he has a very calming voice 😊
Ngl, this is the best 'Are You Scared?" episode I've ever watched. The tension, the spookiness, the turns of event, all of them in one, that's really awesome
I even introduced myself as Dr. Acula, I don't know why they were surprised
Every once in a while I come back to this story, and am amazed at how excellent it is. Time doesn’t diminish the effect, and I find myself intrigued despite already knowing what’s to come. Very well written, truly one of the best stories on the series.
This old man is who I wanna be when I'm old.
"You can't kill me, I'M ALREADY DEAD!"
Hahaha! Don't eat the killer kids. Wait and see if this family breaks down and kills and eats eachother. They have issues. Let them work it out . Not your place. Hahahaha. Just having fun. Murder the lot, check their next victim list for where you might be on New Year's? Hahahahorrible.
I just imagine them chanting "Unus Annus" as the clock strikes lol
Ah a man of culture I see
And they end up serving him ummm tasteful adult treats and bugs for dinner
@@Svetla. and filtered pee through a life straw
Hee Who crashes through the window and rescued the old man
memento mori :)
As soon as I saw the drawing at 00:30 I was immediately like 'nope'. The artist really captured how obscurely sinister that character was in that artwork.
Shane yelling “THESE PEOPLE ARE WHITE AS HELL!” is where I lost it.
The fact that they wrote "I WAS THE DINNER" so casually is absolutely hilarious
Much like Shane I was absolutely on the edge of my seat for this one. And I have to agree, best story in the series so far. Kudos to the author!
1. Why would you eat an old man they’re skin and bone
2. If they cook him at this point their dinner is gonna be hella late
1. Cause old dude doesn't move around much so he is nice and tender lol
2. Maybe they eat him raw
3. i don't know why i put thought into answering these questions lmao
is this what's supposed to be disproving the story and not the old man eating an entire family after being mutilated ferociously
"let's find out if this story was real or imagined"
me: *cackling hysterically* twist! it was real!
It was just shane
“Roll your old ass right out the front door” dead
Bro that writer is fantastic, i was so invested in this story
