horrific flesh pit: "i sleep"
13 dollar bottle of water: "real shit?"
Real shit.
@@buggi_zak 15 dolla 0.5 liter wata battal
That's probably the most realistic part out of all of this
That's bullshit, water bottles are usually 17 dollars
Better be some high grade water, from the fuckin abomination or someshit, 13 dollars for a half litre is a scam and is infinitely worse than anything in the creature
>comes to Earth
>takes a nap
>wakes up only to realize that a bunch of weird, microscopic monkeys have built a national park inside your mouth
>park collapses
>vomits
>goes back to sleep
>no further elaboration
Not only all of that, but they pumped it full of drugs to get it to go back to sleep, it coughed, puked, moved its arm so it wasn't lying on it and fell back asleep high off its gourd.
So a good lazy sunday morning.

Monkeys wouldn't be dumb enough to build a theme park in a giant monster's guts, do I really need to provide any more evidence than that?

About halfway through reading his page on it, I decided I felt worse for the Pit than the people who went in there. Even if the individual tunneling was relatively tiny, imagine all of these basically parasites digging bits out of you, putting stuff in you and even doing the deed inside you. Not fun
Yeah, its basically like we’re Mono to this creature; we gave it pneumonia (the rain going into the lungs), made it cough, gave it a sore throat (visitor center is the ‘frog in the throat’ and the poles, as well as mining being general pain), and even made the thing puke
I hate to tell you this, but there are probably teeny tiny little organisms doing the deed on/in you while you read this...
I think it’s interesting because that IS what’s happens inside of us. I believe most if not all microorganisms inside of us reproduce asexually but they still do that. We have bacteria eating our teeth every day and bacteria inside of our body digging around as they do. They were simply advanced capitalist bacteria that gave the guy a cold

Much like deadly incidents in real life, the flesh pit catastrophe was the culmination of many smaller failures and poor decisions snowballing into a disaster greater than the sum of its parts. It all lends a vital touch of believability to an otherwise fantastical event.
MFP has excellent immersion and world building in general, and the creator deserves so much props for that.
The incident report really has the feeling of nuclear/industrial accident report.
The only thing missing is the time getting more and more specific as the accident begins, it usually looks like:
"On x day, this system was shut down for maintenance, and left out of service"
"8 pm a shift change happened"
"10:25 pm power failed"
"10:27:35 vibration begins"
"10:27:42 the sound of supports failing is heard"
"10:27:55 the structure collapses"
Imagine you're taking a nap and suddenly you cough after what you think is accidentally inhaling some spit, and then realize you can't close your mouth and then suddenly you puke. All this while you're still groggy af because you were just sleeping.
Honestly, it would be easy for me to assume I was dreaming, shift my position a little, and go back to sleep.

Update: thanks to everyone who has helped learn what humidity actually is because I was misinformed in school.
@@robo-joe6111 Humity is how much water the air can hold, so 100% humidity means that the air cannot hold anymore water.

I like the reason things went wrong sound like something completely realistic. Marketing/customer service folks allowing people to stay in the park after hours, trying to do the whole "customer is always right" thing but not aware of security or engineering aspects that make it dangerous, while you have more work crews on the other side trying to make numbers and unaware that there's already a power strain. Classic case of the left hand doesn't know what the right hand's doing, and is more realistic then some CEO purposely risking lives for a few more bucks.

The 38 people returning to the Pit is a lot more tragic than sinister actually. According to Trevor's QnA from November 2021 they were just survivors who rushed back to desperately search for loved ones and friends who were still trapped (and likely already dead) in the Pit.
That's something I like about the disaster. Ultimately the monster didn't really do anything wrong or malicious. The 2007 tragedy was all our own fault. It choked on water pouring into its lungs because our equipment failed, then got sick and threw up because we filled it drugs to make it stop coughing. None of which would've happened if park management hadn't extended operating hours.
All those people died because of human error, not the Lovecraftian horror beneath the Earth.
That price gouged water becomes even more egregious when you find that, in one of the poster, there's a note that warns guests to drink more water as the pit is "known to leech water from guests".
There’s another notice where they tell you not to bring outside food and water. It figures they force you to throw away your water as you enter the park gates just like any other park that will require you to walk long distances. People are going to be forced to buy inflated waters. *sigh*
Atleast there's all this cheap, healthy, Coke Heartthrob!

@@whyisitsohardtomakeahandleman that’s crazy you should probably cool yourself off using the massive abomination in Texas
Another note on how massive this thing is: it takes six months to inhale and six months to exhale. Visitors were only allowed in the "lung" structures during Winter and Spring during its "inhale" cycle.

@@mintsmooth860breathing while asleep is comparatively quite slow. The heart rate can dip to 40bpm. Coughing however is a rapid, involuntary set of muscle spasms. The fact that it took that long to cough, when a regular human takes like a second, is already a huge deal
Not to go off topic, but this is why within their universe, the SCP foundation are absolutely necessary, because without them, every single anomaly would be turned into a theme park.

I ran a dnd one shot with this as an inspiration. The pit was a giant slumbering god of madness and the mining companies were collecting a gas that would let you have vivid completely lucid dreams when inhaled, but slowly allow the creature to influence your thoughts.
I think the vibe of “big smart words” really pulls it together because almost all of those words just so happen to be used in biology and geology, and the mesh together is kinda weird with the vibe that “this is entirely possible”.
Trevor did a good job at making the geobiology sound REALLY REALLY REAL

Things like this are proof that Hollywood isn't out of ideas. People are just scared to take a risk.
Or don't have the funding?
@@trippy0752 that kind of aligns with what I'm saying. People are scared to back a project like this because it wouldn't be a "safe" bet.
I wish they were more courageous, it's like how scp articles could make the perfect shows or even full length films and yet no one even tries to adapt them
@@trippy0752 it may happen eventually. People do adapt them into games and short films right now so it’s headed into that direction. We saw a few Creepypasta get a TV adaption and (not the best examples narratively, but still something that started online) Slender Man and Five Nights at Freddys have become mainstream and made into movies. We’ve even seen viral Twitter threads adapted. TVs shows and musical artists have started using the ARG/unfiction format to advertise. Hollywood has started looking more and more into internet creations for ideas. I think it’s only a matter of time before it becomes the norm to adapt internet stories, creations, and other viral media.
I don't agree with that semtiment, some movies are just easy cash, then you have movies like Lamb or Underwater, at least recently.
I would love an HBO mini-series that was like a faux documentary/expose of the history of the Mystery Flesh Pit encompassing the whole story so far.
This also works as a horror story for giant flesh pits, as they have to worry about their body being used commercially as a tourist attraction and hundreds of people every day exploring through their insides, taking parts of them as souvenirs and to use for themselves, and ultimately having no control over what these hoards of people do inside of them and how they treat the various parts of them that are keeping them alive

Chrystals can have a resonant frequency, basically they make sound at a very precise rate (which is how quartz clocks work, it's super interesting) so my theory is that the contingency measure involved running power through that mineral and it emitted a certain sound probably outside of the human range of hearing that made the creature go into a dormant state again. Could be that the rock came from a mountain or something that got struck by lightning while the "dragon" was in the area.
I like that the first event on the timeline mentions a 4th of July concert and fireworks display that had to be canceled because of rain. Curious as to whether that would've been fortuitous or not. I imagine loud music and fireworks would have been just as dangerous and problematic but thats the point of this story. The hubris of humanity in the face of cosmic horror
This would have been the perfect 80s horror movie. The corporate cynicism, the bodyhorror, the satire. I could have seen John Carpenter direct this.
They actually seldom went after corporations in film in the 80's. That's a 90's like with Fight Club and such.
@@coreym162 I see where you are getting at. But 90s movies like fight club hated corporations and consumerism in general. The 80s on the on the other hand had a weird hard on for the evil MegaCorp like in Robocop, Aliens, Terminator, and Blade Runner. The mining company that controls the flesh pit will fit in perfectly with weyland-yutani and Omnicorp.
Hahaha that's actually a pretty accurate assessment, so a blend of They Lives timeless corporate/political cynicism/the body horror of thing..with some of the satire of big trouble?
Carpenters movies always had a cynicism about the Reagan nightmare they lived in, especially NY/LA, starmans like his only optimistic movie

i'd love a Chernobyl-style miniseries going over the 2007 disaster and the events leading up to it
The fact that the Caddo people's story of sacred medicine water is a legitimate story told by the Caddo people and the creator of the flesh pit ARG wasn't necessarily even referencing it when he first came out on the subreddit is some of the best pieces of storytelling that i've seen in a while
I love that some of the biggest details are things like making the accidents that have happened exactly the sort of thing people would do today, like the circus performers doing a tightrope routine over the freaking maw, is precisely the sort of dumb shit people do today. It adds immersion to me since it’s set in a version of real life.

And don’t walk off the path or else you might crack through the ground and fall into boiling water. Oh yeah and sometimes everything catches on fire cause that’s just how trees breed out here. And also sometimes it all floods so severely we have to rebuild everything. And everything smells like rotten food because of the bacterial colonies and sulfur fumes.

No one like this anymore, we at 666 rn
I heard this described once as, you lie down for a nap and when you wake up, ants have built a colony in your lungs, stomach, and bones. Of course you would panic. At the bare minimum, you would start a coughing and trying to expel the ants from your body.
Reminds me of that one video of a girl who accidentally drank an ant infested sprite can, eugh
That is literally terrifying 💀
Shouldn't have slept with an open mouth smh
@@davidkonevky7372 i did that a month ago, my friend took my experience and wrote a story about it for school which was pretty cool
It's more like if sentient bacteria turned your body into a amusement park
You missed the artist's rendition of what the monster would look like if it werent underground, which is a skyscraper tall starfish with an impenetrable flat shell on top
It's funny that in your intro, you open with "horror settings that are familiar settings" as like...the vanilla. The start. Because, at least as far as movies go, horror was usually about being a fish out of water. You go to the black lagoon. You go to Dracula's castle. You go somewhere far from home, from which you may not return. Which I feel is intrinsically linked to human curiosity and exploration.
HOWEVER, many people cite Night of the Living Dead as one of the first movies to popularize danger closer to home. The horror could happen in small-town america. Domestic terror, probably in response to the likes of Manson. The slasher genre really took this and ran with it.
I agree that setting and atmosphere is probably the most important aspect of horror. But I think that it's easier to make something unfamiliar scary, than it is to twist the familiar into being scary. That's why I tend to love stuff like FNAF, or haunted dolls, or corrupted TV stations, or zombie outbreaks. It makes home feel unsafe....(Omg I'm having an emotional breakthrough about my childhood rn)
This place needs a Defucntland style mockumentary about this park OMG.
Dude i love you for saying that
Omfg yes!!!!
Yes yes yes
I love you for saying that, you’re a legend
Yup
Imagine getting a letter that said “it bleeds. God, how it bleeds”
"If it bleeds, we can kill it"
If I got a letter that read that I'd be like "put that shit the fuck back and never think about it again."

Rewatching this before I watch mark’s playthrough of the game. I’m always so blown away by the scale of this, both the story and the creature
This may be some of the best world-building lore I've ever heard of. So detailed and so realistic given the scenario. I'm extremely impressed.
I'd love to see a fake documentary of this concept. Victims with slightly healed digestion wounds, footage of the inside as it collapses, acted out footage of events they couldn't capture such as the calcified performers, etc.
imagine one of the testimonies being from one of the brains connected to a computer, and before the camera crew walks in you could see lines upon lines of "kill me" getting frantically deleted by its caretaker

@@_Cato_ An animatronic of Five Nights at Freddy's that was a man who got into a robot and got smashed by the systems so hard he basically turned into a rotten body mass that can't die inside the suit. Also, because the local was turned into a horror attraction the animatronic he was inside of was used as the main attraction, so yeah, checks out
@@robertz.5199 yea but instead of being fused together with 49 other people he was impaled from all angles and revived 30 years after his death

I love how plausible the writing and scenario is for the incident report. It sounds like every incident report i have ever read. A couple ordinary, but poorly thought out decisions meet with a series of only slightly adverse events in such a way that turn into a cascading shit-show
The idea of going into a *living* creature and treating its body like an amusement park is pretty disturbing. On the other hand, I’m literally imagining this thing to be like the Alaskan Bullworm from SpongeBob, and how Sandy just casually strolled in. It makes it *slightly* less creepy 😂
I love the horrific yet slightly comedic tone this entire world building has
Yes.
They def based it in reality and especially the way humans will use whatever materials they can get their hands on to make profit. Knowing what people use from animals or deep from the earth in our foods or mass production; I could see humans going into a live creature just to use their body parts or fluids for profits. Eerily based in reality and therefore so much more enjoyable
the guy who made this is not only a genius, but you can tell he's having fun with it.
Ah yes the "pleasure domes"
Trick or treating! The trick is

The creator has since confirmed that the people who crawled back into the pit were attempting to rescue loved ones still inside.
oh my god that's so horrifying and sad
@@wywrd_mtnt fr
fuck that's tragic.
Unofficial, but it's too good to not mention (and is my personal headcanon): At least some of the people that went back in were addicted to the amniotic fluid and wanted one last fix.
(Read that somewhere, I take no credit for it)
Aw that's a shame. I actually think the idea that these people WANT to go back in there makes it far more creepy and mysterious. The idea of people willingly do something that moments ago they were fighting for their lives to avoid is a trope I really like. It raises so many questions about what has happened to their minds and what other forces are at play that are beyond our comprehension.
Wanting to go back to rescue loved ones is obviously still horrifying but it's in a more of a real-world tragic kind of way as opposed to an unknowable/incomprehensible horror kind of way. But then maybe this whole thing is better if we just consider it a huge living creature rather than anything supernatural with any kind of psychic abilities or anything. I guess it depends whether you're more interested in "what if we discovered this new huge life form?" vs "What if we discovered a god-like Great Old One style entity that is unfathomably old and utterly alien to us?". I'm a big fan of cosmic horror with supernatural elements, so I'm more drawn to the latter, but both options are still very Lovecraftian so I'm a fan either way.
I love that at first you'd think "why would anyone want to make a tourist trap inside the guts of a lovecraftian entity?" but then you remember that Yellowstone and Florida exist. Turns out the true Lovecraftian horror is actually unchecked late-stage capitalism.

There's one more thing people seem to look over, this thing has a chemical that makes people "in the mood" which means this thing can breed. Which means there's more of them.
Welp, I’m gonna just go ahead and say that humans had a good run and we should probably all blast off towards Mars.
@@justin2308 who says Mars isn't "one of them" ._.
it could be an unintended effect, simply a quirk of its interaction with human biochemistry, that or the perhaps the creature has some inscrutable reason to want things that enter it to breed.
@@antimarmite yes, but this is a horror story and the most horrifying choice is normally the correct one
@@justin2308 NOPE NOPE OFF TO ANDROMEDA FAR AWAY FROM THESE THINGS
The way that the creator realistically comodified this cosmic horror is incredible
1:10:00 The moment you had described the weapons they had I immediately thought that this would be an AWESOME setting for a video game. Glad you agree Isaiah. It would have an Alien Xenomorph kinda vibe as well as Dead Space. You can even use amniotic fluid as a healing salve.
The most unrealistic part of the story is Anodyne actually getting prosecuted.
I mean, no matter how rich and slimy you are, the court of public opinion will always be the most brutal and people needed someone to blame
To be fair, I cant recall the last corporation that fucked up so bad the Government was literally prepared to go nuclear to solve the issue, so exceptional circumstance.
@@corvid.monarchy4875 they probably selected a few scapegoats but the majority of people responsible probably escaped prosecution either because they were wealthy and influential or because the goverment needed their expertise to run their own projects regarding the pit
The last sign at 1:08:29 has the anodyne logo on the bottom right but with the new name of 'permian basin recovery corporation' which reads as rebranding to me. I don't think they really got punished

Well, if you didn't know people have guns to shoot bears and cougars. And I hate when people use 'people' as if every fucker wants to go spelunking through the deepest caves in the world.
For those just discovering the Mystery Flesh Pit - it has since become a highly successful Kickstarter for a DnD/Cypher system campaign setting.
The most fascinating part about this is how some of the people who were rescued crawled back inside the pit. That and the fact that the sign on the electric fence said “it does not have a gift for you” makes me think that the pit has some kind of psychological effect on people that make them want to be inside it. That also might explain why the people in this universe are less afraid of the idea of exploring and building a national park out of it than we would expect. Whether this only effects people that have been inside it, or it effects the people around it, I’m not sure.
And the whole clown thing being "beautiful", essentially the monster brainwashing people to be consumed.
Even the guy who found it got that impression. Mr. Simple oil man didn't contact a priest when he found a bloody hole in the ground, he saw dollar signs
@@lithuaniaball To be fair that's American capitalism for you. If anything can make them money, even if it puts people in danger, then they'll still do it.
That strange psychological influence WAS ACTUALLY INTRODUCED AND SUBTLY SET UP! We know that the concentrated amniotic fluids have very strong psychoactive and mind-altering effects. People in contact with strong doses felt a very deep physical and emotional resonance. All this time, they assumed that those feelings were for the other people around them, but maybe the true purpose of the amniotic fluid was to draw people towards the superorganism itself, like flies to honey paper. It's entirely possible that the 38 people who returned to the organism had been exposed to the strongest pools of amniotic fluid during the vomiting event. The brochure even mentioned that people should get religious and psychological counseling before attempting the strongest amniotic love domes.
When I heard that the people were seen clambering back into the beast, I immediately thought that the people inhaled or ingested some kind of hormone that forced them into mindless, seemingly natural subservience to the pit - doing the only thing their inner mind can do which is to return to their perceived mother.
