That's what you get for reading these stories...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In rural southern Illinois a toy company began selling "realistic" baby dolls to expectant mothers. But apparently after the mother had her child the toy baby would start crying. Eventually the "rocking motion" advertised to calm it down wouldn't work, and you couldn't get it to stop without shaking it. Eventually when it started crying the parent would have to beat it, and the beatings and thrashings would have to get harder and harder to get it to be quiet. The only thing that seemed to shut the baby doll up permanently was the bash its head against the wall to destroy whatever mechanism triggered the crying. On more than one occasion though, neighbors called the authorities to report child abuse, and when the police arrived they found the bloody remains of infants smeared across the walls and the floor. In most cases the mother couldn't understand why the police were there, she just "got rid of the stupid doll" as she rocked a baby-shaped bundle in her arms.

That one is quite good. Sleep deprivation combined with hormonal nervous breakdown can really do that shit to you. I'm so NOT going to let my gf read that, she already freaks out when I tell her that baby-bones are rubbery and they actually bounce back up if you throw them on the floor, I tried it yesterday!

What happened?  I missed it.

My favorites are the You Fail -Insert Scientific Field- Forever creepypastas.  Like the one about how nightmares are real because the memories are stored in the part of your brain that stores real memories.

I actually cried when you did that. You hurt my feelings.

D:

Im sorry dude. Im really impaired in my thought processes right now. Havent slept for like 3 days.

It's mostly a joke. But I must say I should've seen that coming. I spent all of five minutes typing that paragraph up.

Well damn. Eh, i was at the point where all your tiredness catches up to you and everything is hilarous.


Oh, and im not sleeping for so long cause of a combination of loads of homework, drivers ed, and college apps, not the stories. Although the smile.dog thing did make me look over my shoulder a bunch when i first saw it.

[Cthulhu]

Why?  The smile one is the least scary of all of them.

And I skimmed through the story that came with the parrot.  It kind of ruins it.  Isn't the point that the image itself is what destroys your brain?  If some fractal parrot comes after you later, that's stupid.

Eh, i just have a vivid imagination, and it helped that i was tired and not expecting it.

I like the stories that make you get creeped out, then scared, then terrified that its right behind you.

The point is that being reminded of the image kills you. Looking at an image and living in fear of ever being reminded of it is a far more frightening concept than looking at an image and dying on the spot.

The image is what destroyed his brain.  Hence the "He had seen it through too many angles."  Seeing it through those cracked lenses he wore shielded his mind from the immediate effect.  But later on his mind pieced each of the parts back together into the whole image.  The parrot "stalking" him was him trying to block the image from forming in his mind.

I just skimmed a bunch of those and a majority werent' even scary. It was like "if you find this mystical car wash in Idaho, it will fix all the dents and dings on your car!"
My favorite from the OP was the Narnia-like stairway that led down into an endless savanna with bones everywhere and mysterious creatures just out of sight. Sounds like the basis for some kind of surreal novel.
it also reminded me of that one short story where the kids have a virtual-reality nursery and it turns into a savanna with lions and the parents go in to find the kids and get eaten.

"The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury, for those that might be interested.
