1999 - “CreepyPasta” Review by Josh
Yet another great podcast from Creep Cast /Creepy Pasta! This one was beyond scary! Also nostalgic with the old-time bunny ear televisions.
Premise:
They story revolves around a protagonist who, as a child in 1999 is drawn to as how he found on a channel featuring Mr. Bear. The thing about this, Mr. Bear, was the show was broadcast from someone’s cellar on an old camera.
Could trigger some people!
Story:
Mr. Bear would have “friends” over in his cellar, all being little children. Aging from 4-16, they would come knock on the door after an ominous scene, like him playing checkers by himself in this cellar talking to the camera. Once they are in the cellar they would play games with Mr. Bear.
As the episodes progress, they seem to begin to lean towards other darker things, one specific episode shows a scene with someone trying to leave and the Bear says you were not invited in loud and serious way. Once the person says he will call the police Mr. Bear runs towards the kid, and the video cuts off.
This was not the only show that was broadcast on 21, but most of them were not nearly as memorable. As the story progresses Mr. Bear while on say write me a letter because I need more friends and send it to this location. Elliot just out of curiosity sends a letter to him and receives one back saying he wants to meet him at the show, and to come to this location. The Dad takes the kid to the location but instead of Mr. Bear the police are there.
Something dark is going on but you don’t find out until much later what happened when the former police officer shows Elliot the tapes from that cellar. As the story progresses you see what happened in the show. I will not spoil that here but will put it below in my thoughts.
Final Thoughts:
This story was incredibly terrifying but also such a good story. They do a great job of leading the audience to where they want to go but without over-the-top antics. I strongly recommend this to anyone!
Thoughts and Spoilers!:
This one was a hard one to listen to too, the possibility of this being something that could absolutely happen shows. Not saying it would go to this extreme but there is a chance that it could. Mr. Bear was probably a pedophile, but you don’t really see this. He is luring kids to this cellar for a very dark reason. He planned on sacrificing these kids to what one can assume is the devil.
You see later in the story that 16 kids are found burned in the woods, there is an episode where he is talking about vitamin D and what looks like he is spiking drinks with some type of chemical. Once and assume it’s a sedative of some kind. You then see him dropping bodies into a giant hole in the floor. Saying this is just one part of the kids. Says the only way for them to help him was to give up their lives. The whole story is absolutely haunting, the fact that back then, you could broadcast from your house and use it to do something along these lines. Maybe not murdering kids, but you could lure them in, to do awful things. The story also doesn’t really have a real ending, the blog that this information is coming from author just disappears and stops updating, which makes me think he found Mr. Bear and was killed.
