Creepypasta Prompts
I’ve had a few people on twitter and email who’ve expressed frustration over having ideas for creepypasta, but not the talent/time/drive to actually write them. A couple people have asked if we had a space for them to leave their ideas so that, perhaps, someone who wants to write but needs help with the idea part might be able to use them.
So here we go: this comments section is where you guys can post your creepypasta “prompts” – ideas for creepy stories that you might have, but for whatever reason, aren’t going to use yourself.
Just a couple ground rules:
- This should be obvious, but just in case – make sure that you don’t mind someone else using your idea before you post them!
- If you are an author and you use one of the prompts posted here, consider giving the original creator of the idea a shout-out in your credit section if you end up submitting the end result. It’s not mandatory, but it is polite.
- Your prompt can be an image, video, or piece of audio as well as text – for images, use html img tags in the comment field. Nothing unsafe for work, please. For videos and audio, please just post a clean link to the content, no html – otherwise it might get eaten by the spam filter.
That’s all I can think of for now, but if I’ve overlooked something, feel free to tell me!
Beyond that… get to prompting~

Podrian hacer una historia de BEN y Slenderman colaborando para atar desde las sombras
Me no speak spanish.
X’D LMFAO
buena esa mi homie
He said write a story of a collaboration with Slenderman and Ben. A historical one I guess too.
Close, the second part was to control the shadow realm
How do you post a story on this website? !?(･_･;?
It says:
”Sumbit your pasta”
on the top right. :/
A collab with Ben and slender man….. Sound cool
B En drowned is surprisingly weird
No estoy seguro de cómo se podría hacer eso, ya que sus orígenes son muy diferentes.
Yeah I think there was an ancient civilization of ancient giant stone golems and there heads got cut off.
Every hundred years or so, the inhabitants of Easter Island would build stones to commemorate those who have passed… it is said that their souls forever haunt the stone that was made for them. sometime in the future, they might just prove they have not died yet.
I’m thinking about writing this one.
and the Roanoke Colony
I’ve actually started writing a web series about Roanoke island
As long as it doesn’t include vampires. I read a story about the Lost Colony with Virginia Dare as a vampire. It was essentially historic Twilight fanfiction. Rubbish, if you ask me.
Man convinced his parasitic twin is speaking to him through telepathy, drives him to commit suicide. Was he crazy, or did he have a monster inside…? End twist: the coroner who does the autopsy and finds the twin starts being communicated with too.
Whispers.
The following is an excerpt from Joseph Brown’s journal, cause of death: Suicide
June 16th, 2007:
I got home from work yesterday, and, damn, I could’ve sworn I heard whispers. I think I may be going crazy.. Of course, I did work a bit too hard yesterday. I’m sure it’s nothing.
June 18th, 2007:
I woke up at 3:56 A.M. today. I heard a shout, or a scream, argh, I don’t know. It sounded like me, but…I don’t know. Weird dream, I guess.
June 27th, 2007:
I hear whispers. Murmurs. Still sounding like a demented version of my voice. I can’t make out what they say…Fuck, I’m tired.
July 3rd, 2007
GOD DAMNIT!! This fucker at work WON’T SHUT UP!! I could kill him. It’s be easy. Those whispers…I can almost make out a familiar…
July 7th, 2007:
I couldn’t even enjoy the Fourth of July because of that jackass. He didn’t do his job, and we’re all paying for it. The whispers become louder when I get near him. He’s going to die soon.
July 10th, 2007:
I did it. I did it I did it I did it. He’s dead. I invited him over and slit his throat. The whispers, the whispers. They’ve quieted down. I feel great. I’ll be going to bed.
July 12th, 2007:
I understand the whispers now. They’ve been saying "kill kill kill kill" over and over.
I think I’m insane. If you read this, please, find out why I’m like this. Goodbye, I’ll

The mourge worker sighed. He had already cut into him. They had checked him for drugs. Nothing. Ab-so-lute-ly nothing. The only place left to check was his head. Not a very nice place to visit, but he had to. He sawed open the man’s head. He noticed right away it was very tightly squeezed in the man’s head. Then, he noticed a membrane. Not witholding the brain, but..something else. A parasitic twin. He noticed it looked..evil. Almost like it had a grin. But that was nonsense, he thought.
Then, he noticed a faint whisper.
Sorry dude, but I kinda bagsied this one, look at the comments below…
shut up you dick. you cant "bagsie" an idea that is not yours. if you wanted to do something with it, you should have done it sooner.
Yes, I get that. I realise now his was way better than mine. So John, it’s all yours…
John….excellent! But was wondering if you could add a wee bit. I actually work in a morgue and if you read some of the real life stories of people with parasitic twins….Like the cliche, the best stories have enough reality that it just could happen
Thanks for the idea. I’m not writing a creepypasta but just a free-write for my own personal benefit. I enjoy writing horror stories so I thought I’d look here for some ideas and I’m glad I stumbled across yours!
that was a real event boo
I am not crazy…
I hear my dead brother…
But that can’t be! he was poisoned years ago… unless…
NO! IT CAN’T BE! MY BROTHER IS DEAD!
I am going crazy… yea… that’s it… crazy…
Thanksgiving is coming up soon… maybe i could make the pie this year… add some turpentine…
IT WENT TERRIBLY WRONG! THE PIE WAS NOT EATEN BY ANYONE BUT ME!!! shame…
soon I will die, get an automatism doctor to finish me…. soon… oh, so soon…
NO! I feel the scalpel in me, tearing my flesh, i must tell the doctor to stop… but how???
..what?
if your twin gets a wet dream does that make your bugers really his jizz?
. . . What the sweet fucketh did I just read?
I think it’s trying to communicate.
Kill it with fire anyone?
Is anyone thinking basket case?
Sounds almost like a character from ‘Dr. Bloodmoney’
That actually has happened before. A man named Edward Mordrake. He had an ‘evil face’ on the back of his head. Committed suicide at age 23.
been read bout that
Ironically, I was going to come here and write a prompt, then I realized I had too much of an idea how I would want the story to go, I need I be the one to write it
You know, I’m always an idea guy myself as I often come up with story ideas all the time just by walking around from place to place and observing natural scenery. However, a few stories I don’t think I’d do come to mind on just given inspiration for struggling writers. How about, say, with all the cliche writings of famous pasta figures like Slenderman, Smile Dog, BEN, and Jeff; someone could expand the Mothman mythos. This could lead to a number of possibilities; from a period piece to journal entry style to whatever you want. There’s always ways of modernizing old folk tales too. Or; if you’re a bit more purple in prose; go for something Lovecraftian. I’d be glad to pitch ideas I’m not using in more depht if requested to by authors but for now; I think this’ll help.
so. Iv been visiting creepy pasta for some time and just recently decided to view the "creepypasta prompts" section. I like the idea of bringing back old folk lore and crytzoologist creatures such as moth man. the fact that creatures like moth man are theorized to be true, I believe togeather we could create a strong story with this for the masses to enjoy. I would like to work with you on this, however im a highschool student so. i will help you when im not at work or in school.
-Josh
iv drawn mothman! although i picture him as more of a mutant or super hero
Like mothman? Check out my drawing of him

Boo, that one still going yet to be wrote?
I’m not doing anything with it, feel free to use it. I just had a decent idea and wanted to put it in the stew- er, pasta.
And since I once again thought about it; with over hype of other pasta monsters why no Zalgo stories since like 2008? I mean, I can only name off most of them on my finger. Idon’t think I’d ever write one myself so just throwing that out there for you inspiring writers, too.
I’m a fan of the Slender Man stories on creepy pasta.
Would u like me to make one for u? I know alot about slenderman.
Thanks boo. I’ll get started. Would you like to be credited?
Hey everyone, this is an idea I have that I don’t want to orchestrate. It’s kind of an experiment, if you will. SlenderMan and Rake all started small and took on a life of there own, I want to see if something like this can be coaxed into fruition. So, here’s the spark:
CandleWalker
If you want to get in on this project, email me at theshadowscribes000@gmail.com
I tried reaching you at the email address, it didn’t work. Here is the email.
I know your post is a little old, but I just recently got into creepypasta, if you’re still accepting collaboration on this concept I have some ideas.
Humanoid
Taller than the average man, about 6′-7′ tall
Emaciated features w/ bloated stomach
Glowing fingers and toes i.e. like walking on candles
Bipedal but like the rake prefers quadrupedal movement
Long legs and arms disproportionate to the size of its torso
Faint glow where skin stretches over bones
Over represented spinal features
Glowing rings around eyes
Crouches in a frog position rather than stands at full height
Awful smell, like burning flesh (you smell it before it days before you see it)
Attacks animals like pets and livestock
Jaw can open wider enough to engulf a human head
Teeth Glow at the tips
Visits you while you sleep and waits for you to wake up. It stares into your eyes and inch from your face and breaths hard on you, it then screams loud spraying your face in spittle then leaves. But the spray is how it marks you, it then stalks you until you lose your sanity and fade from public scrutiny, then it comes for you.
You need it to have a very long neck, much like a giraffe. It’s creepy because it’s unnatural.
Also half of what you wrote is just ripping off of the Rake.
Couldn’t contact.
Description:
Humanoid size
Long arms, that glow at the tips, becoming wispy
Same for the feet
Jaw can detach
It swallows souls to feed its lights
Bony
Eyes glow reddish-white
Sharp teeth, wispy looking but sharp as knives set in a fire.
It’s a dark night, you’re walking along when you hear a noise. You turn around and stare into beaming red eyes, filled with hatred and curiosity. It mumbles, “I have been watching you.” (there ya go, hope that was good enough ^^ what was the thing? why did it want you? and how long has it been following you?)
I really like this idea, I might use this
Thnaks a lot
Hey, thanks! That’ll be sweet!
It’s an interesting idea, vague enough to leave many possibilities of a story, but yet detailed enough to know what the goal of the story is.
I think I might use this as a personal writing prompt, but if I ever publish it I will be sure to link back here
It’s Thursday, 3 a.m., you’re walking along on your merry little way and you begin to feel nervous, abruptly. You feel the presence of another being behind you. You turn around and stare into beaming red eyes, filled with hatred and curiosity. In a distorted hush it mumbles, “I have been watching you.” Trembling, yet paralyzed, both out of fear, you stand in front of this entirely grey beast with horns that of a goat and teeth of a shark. Mesmerizing, the beast continues, vowels swimming out of his mouth, and consonants popping and hissing like white noise. “You’re an evasive one. A walking mystery, in the same way I am.” The ground abruptly collapses and falls into a deep dark abyss. The whole world runs away, out of reach, out of touch, and it’s just you and this beast in what seems to be another dimension. Mirrors, mirrors everywhere, replace what you used to recognize as your home city. Mirrors, everywhere you look. Disgusting, foul, creatures can be found in the mirrors but for some reason you can’t see them in front of you. Only in the reflection. which of course scares you worse than the un-human beast that was just before you seconds ago in the comfort of your hometown. Now you’re crying and go into shock. “This isn’t real… This can’t be happening,” you manage to croak. The beast chuckles. “Oh, but it is real. It is happening. And you are going to die.”
“Get the hell out of my head!” Louis said as he tried to desperatly run away from the horror that was following him. “You will suffer louis..death cannot save you now” As louis ran, the danger got closer…closer. “Soon you will be the rest of your kind louis, soon you will know what it feels like… To Burn.”. “F#CK YOU” louis yells. (There it is, try to make a story out of it. I’m not good at story telling or making pasta, so if anyone has an idea with this go ahead and make it. c:)
Hmm. I think I’ll use your prompt. Probably different voice and everything though… And with tweaking.
I think I’ll use this.
I would love to make something out of this maybe! I shall see what comes up X3
[I'm a huge writer myself. I'll write a Slenderman fic, a Rake fic, but I was thinking of working on that thing ShadowScribe said. Sounds interesting, but I'm not sure I got it right. Anyhow. Where do I post fics of certain things and am I allowed to write as many as comes to mind?
For other writers, have this as a starter!]
It’s night. But you look at your watch and it says:
11:00
It’s only eleven in the morning. Then why is it so black?
In the distance you hear the faint remnants of a sound. High pitched too. Was it a scream?
“I’ve got to get home. NOW!” you mutter to yourself and you start off down the path you know better than the back of your hand in the darkness.
You turn the corner into the alleyway you are used to taking. When a darker shade of black makes you stop suddenly.
Silence….. Heavy, labored breathing….
[I got carried away a bit, but have fun and go wild!]
Gives me some ideas kitty, I think I’ll think off the likes of that.
Here’s an idea I’ve been toying with lately but probably will never use:
A person, possibly a child, has some sort of very dangerous power or control over some sort of demon or monster but they are severely autistic and are completely oblivious of this power, have no idea how to use and control it, and don’t realize that they are hurting
I think I can do something with this. Assuming I ever post anything at all, (ha!) would you like to be credited?
Hey, has anyone used this idea yet? It’s actually very intriguing to me and I’d like to consider writing it.
Stephen King did that one, it’s called Regulators.
Skrillex- First of the Year (Equinox) music video; thats what i thought of c: lol
This- I might do.
Hmmmmm. Yes, but the thing is, you’d have to avoid the whole ‘imaginary friend’ thing. That’s been used too much. You’d have to pull it off in a different way… like the person doesn’t even know they have it. Things just happen, often what they want. So they get angry at someone, and the next day that person ends up dead (or something). Then everything starts taking a turn for the worse.
….or something like that.
I might do this one. I’m not gonna spill any of my brilliant ideas (sarcasm) but think: “Momma said I couldn’t have no cookies. But then there was some cookies on my bed. I dunno where they from, but they was good.”
The idea of having a severely autistic child having a monster or some other creature under the child’s power is similar to a character in the Stephen King tv series Kingdom Hospital. It is an interesting idea and could result in numerous different stories.
^hurting people
This sounds a lot like Dean Koontz’ The Door to December…
Sounds a lot like Paranormal Activity 4
sounds alot like the gone book series,oh dear…

Nice username
This is gonna sound like a stupid idea. It’s a small piece of information that I’ve been trying to find a way to write a creepypasta on, without it being too cliche. You see, when I was around 6 or 7 my dad would always tell me, “People are afraid of what they don’t understand.” whenever I was frightened by the noises our house made when it settled. Seriously, this is what he’d say. Now, I think it has a rather nice ring to it, and it could possibly start a great idea for a pasta. If anyone has any ideas, or is thinking about writing something on it, let me know.
I’ve actually started writing a pasta that goes along with the whole being afraid of what you don’t understand thing. But the problem/benifit is that there are so many things that could fall into this category. Anything from an alien lifeform to a simple misunderstanding. The one I’m working on centers around an unaturally wholesome family. They look and act like people… but something seems kinda off about them. The uncanny valley is a bottemless well of horror.
Does that mean that I don’tunderstand my own shadow?
Yes. And that means you are scared of it!
I lke the idea, can’t wait to hear it.
Dammit Stephan… I wanted to make a Stepford joke here but I really loved that story of yours I read the other day (Harlequin #7) so I can’t be all snarky and sarcastic at you now…
Well, shit. Spoil my fun why don’t you. D:<
(But nah, seriously, that story was brilliant. The realism in the mortuary parts especially, just… omg~ °⌣° ♥
Details ftw, and so well written. Want more. MORE.) xD
So yeah, Stepford Family creepypasta, you say? Hmm… I'm keeping my eyes open for your name on the credits from now on, anyway, whatever theme you're running with at the time.
Theres a movie like that called the mist
Okay so you have an idea and you lack the time or the skill to write. I’m quite happy write for you.
Email me here: funfunfunfunflanders@gmail.com
And we can exchange a few words.
I’ll even make sure you okay the piece before it gets submitted.
You tell me what you want, style and what-not and I’ll write.
Hey everyone, this will be my second post about the CandleWalker project. Several have already joined and are busy writing stories about him. If you want to get in on a group that is not only writing about a mythos but CREATING one, then email me!
theshadowscribes000@gmail.com
email me and I’ll send you some information about the CandleWalker’s attributes we’ve decided on and you can get started writing a story and creating our very own entity, much like the SlenderMan or Rake!
Don’t just write about scary stuff, create it…
I would love to help on your CandleWalker project.. Email me please! I tried twice to Email you but the message wouldn’t go through..
I’d love to work on a CandleWalker story, but the email didn’t go through. please email me
I got an idea for the most cliche pasta ever:
to start off, the main character had a wierd experience that they know only creepypasta.com can help them with. it’s a journal style pasta
the main character buys a promotional pokemon box set featuring a DVD of the tv show, a copy of a game and a stuffed animal. the DVD has a lost episode on it where a bunch of people die and stuff, the game has a haunted save, and the stuffed animal comes to life. Then they find out that the stuffed animal was actually slenderman in disguise, he kills them mid senta-
then it turns out it was all a recurring nightmare that the main character has been having. they go into some detail about how it has been making them insane and they think there is a supernatural cause.
The last paragraph reveals that this was all found on a note in a dead person’s house. who died in the way that a different cliche character usually kills people (I honestly can’t think of another one right now) and the murder has remained unsolved because eventually the police stopped caring
if anyone can think of anything I missed feel free to add it, otherwise just go for it
And then ur making out with yur honey and the phone rigns…
Please post this. Oh, and he was killed bye smile dog who drove him to kill his
Parents and he didn’t know it. Sorry for my spelling, smartphones are awful to type with.
So basically a double-subversion (i think) of a parodypasta. I like it!
shotgunfish, it has to turn out the writer is a villain. -.-
I found this story awhile ago that I really like and was hoping that someone could help me find it. Its about this kid that hears a sounds coming from his parent’s room. When he went to look he found a thing killing them. The kid went back to his room and lay frightened in his bed. The thing put his dad on the bed with him and his mom in the rocking chair. When he thought the coast was clear he opened his eyes to see, ” I know you’re still awake.” Written on blood on the ceiling. Can someone please help me find this story?
God, I know the one, I just can’t remember it! I loved that one, too!
It’s called Him
Or under the bed.
http://images.wikia.com/creepypasta/images/1/18/1282385043712.jpg
Yup! I believe I found it on deviantART, I’ll get back to you on that :3
It was AMAZING one of my all time favorite short creepy stories!
Try looking in creepypasta index. I’m sure it’s there.
Its The Rake, I think….. I dont know. Sorry if its wrong.
It’s entitled “Masterpiece”.
i read this and it started hevaly raining
Hahaha the most cliche pasta, huh? Shogunfish, you’re a genius.
The story goes like this….
The main character is obcessed with some kind of game like elder scrolls,gothic or of any similar type .He becomes so much obcessed with the game that he cannot distinguish between the real world and gaming world.He is soo lost in it that he thinks real world as a game and starts killing people.
This idea just came across my mind so if anyone likes it plz let me know.This can be modified and make it more creepy or pshycotic.
Its actualy an movie wich has that story, but whit an zombie game instead. And I cant remember the name of the movie.
i saw that on a tv show or sumting, but they stopped the kid in time
@tentacleTherapist : That is basically the plot for Stephen King’s (writing as Richard Bachman) The Regulators. Please think of something a bit more original
