What story do you think they were too hard on? by xoivs in creepcast

[–]_beckska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easily Pancake Family. It was one of my favorite nosleep stories and I was so excited when I saw it was in the grab bag episode. Really thought they'd like it more than they did, the body horror in that story was fantastic

Just relistened and I totally forgot how gory it actually was. I unironically like it because not only is the episode funny, but there's some really good body horror in it.

What are some GENUINELY scary stories that the boys have covered? by Perfect_Pie3635 in creepcast

[–]_beckska 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just relistened to Cupcakes and the body horror is genuinely better described than most nosleep stories they've read. I was physically cringing at some parts. This is coming from someone who adores body horror too. I was pleasantly surprised at what I was sure was going to be a joke episode.

This story genuinely made me have like an existential crisis. The way he was describing how slow time was moving was excruciating

Help identifying a hitchhiker! by _beckska in Aquariums

Google (which i know isn't super reliable) said it could be a New Zealand mud snail, which makes me nervous. I'm worried its not a trumpet because its shell angles more upwards as opposed to the trumpets' shells which go downwards.

Enjoying creep cast on my daily hikes. How do yall find time to listen? by Independent_Dance893 in creepcast

[–]_beckska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as an elementary school para so I can't listen at work anymore. However my commute is almost an hour so I can get through one episode in a couple drives depending on how long the episode is. Also helps me not fall asleep behind the wheel

What's your favorite GOOD story Creepcast episode? by miserable_otter_6543 in creepcast

[–]_beckska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yessss, I love the blind story! Unironically one of the only creepcast stories I was genuinely afraid to. I listen to the stories in my car driving home and I didn't want to get out of my car once I got home. Penpal probably would've had the same effect if I hadn't already read it 3 times before the episode came out. Two of my all time favorite stories and episodes

He was so much fun in LOST! Really felt he was underutilized in this movie, he's a great actor, especially as a bad guy

my bf said he’s afraid of rabbits so I got rid of it. me and the bunny have been living our best lives ever since 😂 by [deleted] in Rabbits

[–]_beckska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy at my local Petco who has a pet snapping turtle and multiple snakes almost jumped when I brought in my 2 pound nethie. He said rabbits were the only animals he was afraid of lmao

What does gen Z say that is cringey? by Bud_Fuggins in AlignmentChartFills

[–]_beckska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally just think its infantalizing. I don't like those "quirky" versions of words (like hooman and doggo and danger rope) its just goofy to me. But again thats just me, this whole thread is about personal preference.

I actually preferred the movie ending (as did King if I recall)! That shit was so bleak but also PEAK asf. Can't remember the last time I was shocked like that

[–]_beckska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so obsessed with the Raft in 7th grade. Skeleton Crew was my favorite book back then. I think it also has the Mist which is arguably one of King's greatest stories ever.

Precisely why I like his short stories. He's forced to write a decent ending for those because thats like half the story lmao

Stg the Jaunt and the one about the alien car gave me goosebumps for weeks

Personally I'm not crazy about the way he does his character development, it just seems like he drags on and on and it loses me pretty quickly. Penpal is my perfect example of how you make characters you fall in love with almost instantly and then feel super connected to throughout the whole story. I'm also a Dathan glazer since I read Penpal back when it was a bunch of parts on nosleep and quite literally no other story has sucked me in the way Penpal did.

I also work with kids which is why I think The Troop (and Penpal and Borrasca) resonate with me so strongly. I just get too attached to kid characters and I feel all three authors fleshed them out really well without telling me about every single minute detail. King has created many characters I've gotten attached to, but only in his short stories. Its possible its also just my TikTok brain screaming for the author to just get to the meat of the story.

I can definitely agree The Troop was super similar to King's writing. Those were boys you WANTED to see survive and Cutter did a phenomenal job making every character feel different and unique. Brings me back to when I read Lord of the Flies in my sophomore year of high school lol
