Are these staircase stories like actual accounts? Are there people going around putting up spooky staircases in the woods?

As far as anyone knows it's fiction, but of course you will occasionally see a staircase in the woods if there was a house with a very sturdy staircase.

Would be kind of odd for there to be a staircase and not, like, a chimneystack or any walls.

I'm watching this low-budget single-location claustrophobic elevator-horror called Wolf Rising. Woman is trapped in an elevator, harassed by Sinister Russian Guy on a video screen who then terminates the video feed and calls her on the phone pretending to be her uncle. Three quarters of this movie are dependent on the protagonist apparently not knowing that her uncle (a person she has known very well since she was 7) is not a Sinister Russian Guy.

VROOM VROOM posted:I just tried to go on nosleep and started reading a story from like three weeks ago about a guy in the woods and guess what shows up halfway through I tried reading no sleep a few years ago and it felt like most stories were just about rape and or murder not ghosts and other supernatural things. There was some clickbait link I clicked on that was something like "creepy pasta we want to see turned into movies" and one of the ones on the list was about a kid who got chloroformed and raped by his neighbor...and just why? Why would you want that made into a movie?

I'm still kinda pissed that they made a movie out of the "locked doorway in forest" thing. I get it'd be creepy to see, and in the movie it was chained up iirc as well as locked. Then, apparently the protags of the movie decide that's a damned fine door and it'd be just perfect for the hall closet and OOPS SORRY SOME SPOOKY GHOST THING YANKED YOUR KID THROUGH THE LIVING EMBODIMENT OF A BAD IDEA THAT YOU BROUGHT INTO YOUR HOME YOU JACKASS.

Random stairs to nowhere just makes me think of Pittsburgh. Yes, Pittsburgh is scary, but in more of an existential ennui way not a ghost way

When I use my phone I type the numbers in and then hit dial, if I use the numbers at all, then it presumably opens the line and dials them in, I don't open the line and then touchtone it like it's the 90s, complete with call drops because you didn't type it fast enough.

Well then I'm wrong on that one I guess. I just haven't had a cell phone in a long time that would even allow a dial tone. You open the phone app, punch in the numbers, and then the line is opened and the number dialed upon hitting call.

You've become a victim of Skeuomorphism.

Even my landline office phone, which is the only landline phone I've used in years, doesn't have a digital tone. You type in the number and then hit dial, and that's when it opens the line.

You type in the number and then hit dial, and that's when it opens the line. The landlines in my office almost do this, but they'll autodial after a few seconds if you don't hit any numbers. So I'll be in the middle of dialing something, forget if the next digit is a 6 or a 9 or whatever, look at my computer screen to find the number again, and it'll dial the incomplete number and make me start over.

I loving hate Jade Wesker. Currently watching episode 6 and it's one incredibly stupid decision after another, holy poo poo. She sucks so hard.

They’re very little shifting floor plans, just rooms that got hosed up. There’s only one place in the whole game where the geometry changes, and that’s right at the beginning. Super fun game though.

Well there's also all the signs and warnings about what to do if/when the building moves on you during your work shift I feel like there were announcements too?

In an episode of “Saved By The Bell” big tv star Johnny Dakota comes to Bayside High to film an anti drug commercial. Mr Belding meets him and has no idea of any of this going on but even more unrealistic than that is the fact that Johnny Dakota apparently randomly shows up to high schools to ask about filming there. A star of his caliber would not be in that position. It would be the job of a scouting agent or perhaps a producers assistant.

I remember reading quite a few SCP stories over a decade ago and enjoying quite a few. When they're good, they're amazing, but there's just so much trash that I kinda gave up on the whole thing.
