Creepypasta and editing don't mix

While sitting down listening to the TV, which is a common thing for me while I write, I was editing a bit, usually I don't mind doing three things at once, but last night it was not the smart move. I was watching Sy-Fy Channel's Channel Zero series and it was pretty much the strangest and scariest thing I must have turned on. I am sitting there starting at the whole thing and yes, I set down my editing and was wondering why the hell did I turn on the TV at all. The show was pretty scary and to be honest, I was always reading some of the Creepypasta stuff as well...interesting stuff to look at.

Yes, I'm a horror buff, and yes, I love ghost stories as much as the next person, heck growing up, I was always interested in ghosts. So it isn't surprising I will watch The Conjuring and my sister took me to see The Conjuring 2, we're pretty much horror movie lovers especially haunted stuff. My sister and I would watch Poltergeist, she was the one with that look of "OH COOL," while I hid my eyes. Also I think that is reason she hates clowns, unless you count the miniseries "IT" as well.

As it turns out some of my writing was pretty much at one time not on a horror edge as some people might think, though I did attempt when I was younger to write a horror story. I don't think I ever attempted it again because sixth grade was something of a joke. While a teacher was telling a ghost story, I would knock on the under side of my desk and it caused the teacher to check the door. A classmate told me to knock it off, but the teacher thought it was kind of cool that I could add to a story like that. It was a little prank that I used during April 1st and it did not continue, I never told anyone else about that until later on.

When I think about horror movies and writing, I'm not that kind of person, my favorite writer Koji Suzuki who is a horror writer in Japan who was later dubbed the Japanese Steven King was interesting. If you ever read his stuff, I would say read "Ring," and "Dark Water", those are pretty much the works he's best known for. If you know horror movies, you would best know his for "Ringu" or "The Ring" and also if you want to be really interested, "Ju-on" or "The Grudge" is one of his most famous works. I am pretty much a fan of Japanese horror a bit more than American horror, but again, I don't let it stop me from seeing more.
