Sean’s house was covered from head to toe in family photographs. Some from family retreats to Ireland, others showing lost family relatives. Most of these photographs would include Sean in them, so it was only natural that he would look at them from time to time. However, one day he noticed something rather strange about the pictures: His mother seemed to have a red face in all of the photos. Rather shocked by this, he immediately ran downstairs to ask if anyone had done something to the pictures. They all answered no; even his mother, whom was quite worried. Later that day Sean’s mother went to the hospital due to horrific 3rd degree burns caused by a grill catching fire for an unknown reason.
Sean’s father decided to stay at the hospital that night and thought it best to send Sean home with his big brother Thomas and little sister Maria. As Sean walked into the house he caught glance of the family photograph in which he noticed the change to his mother’s face, and found that Maria was not in the picture.
He ran upstairs to her bedroom only to find that she was nowhere to be seen. Alarmed by these strange events Sean called the police. Sean informed them that his sister had been kidnapped and that someone was in his house, possibly vandalising his family’s belongings. The phone immediately went dead, and as Sean went to put the phone down he caught a glimpse of an animal in the corner of his eye. He rushed out of the safety of his room to go and find the beast, but what he found was far worse.
The mangled bodies of his family lie in the corridor in front of his room, their faces frozen in a state that almost makes him vomit. And then it struck him. All the photographs had been removed from the walls, except for one which was a picture of Sean, with his face scribbled out.
The next day his two best friends went to visit him, because he was not answering his phone and was not at school all week. As they arrived, they noticed that the door had been left open. So they let themselves in, and were never seen again.

The ending was a little too rushed. More details about the family members’ deaths would have been better. 3/5
I, as the original author will edit ‘Photoslash’ and re-post it on its original source page, Encyclopedia Dramatica.
It was pretty epic until the end.
The ending fell flat.
I love the response this one got. A friend of mine wrote it, and how it ended up here is beyond me, but…it’s creepypasta. I liked it (Sean thinks it’s terribly written), and at least it’s true to the real-life source material.
Thanks for the responses, the writer would love to see this.
the idea of this is outdone.
The one thing I really liked was the fact that his face on the photo was scribbled out. Faceless monsters always creep me the fuck out. The rest is meh.
THEN WHO WAS PHOTOSLASHER?
I’m gonna use a metaphor to describe this, so be ready. The pasta (basic idea) was good. The sauce (the end product) was not as good as it could have been. Good pasta, bad sauce, and it was too fast.
its a weird back to the future kind of rip off with a crappy ending.
So…His friends check up on him the next day, after the murders(?), but he hadn’t been to school all week?
That lazy drop-out Sean deserved what he got!
This whole thing was random as fuuuuck.
I liked it. =)
So…He calls the police reporting a missing child and possibly intruder … The phone goes dead … So they don’t bother investigating? They just figure “Oh, phone died, couldn’t be that important.”
HMMMM
it was rather good where you never told that cameras steal your soul lol
that was ur first mistake second was not listening to the warnings you are a fool
Normally I’d take time to re-write a pasta to fix the syntax/grammar/spelling/etc… But this one, oh Lord, this one…
My brother’s name is Sean… xD That probably creeped me out more than the pasta would’ve using a different name.
Okay, that ending seriously needs work. What the hell did his friends have to do with it if the entire story was focused on family pictures?
Love it.
If they were never seen again how do they know the friends were there in the first place? 0.o
Kinda liked it – it’s told so unexcited, as if it were about “And then I went to the supermarket, and there I met…”. Makes it less creepy but more cruel.
“NO! I must kill the photos” he shouted
The radio said “No Sean, you are the photos”
And then Sean was a bad creepypasta
Ah…well, I actually kinda liked the beginning. I liked it all the way up until the point where he went after the beast that had shown up in the corner of his vision. After that, I agree with the lot of these commentatorotorotorotorers.
Or maybe I hated it and I just wanted to see myself go a teeny bit higher up on the Top Commentators list! AHAHAHAHA!!
AMEN where have all the good pasta cookers gone>:)
But the call was coming from inside the ghost of Christmas past’s hooked hand in the rearview mirror!!!
Too many plot twists. It’s like, right as you started going down one alley, you suddenly got kicked in the side of the head and made a sudden detour. It doesn’t work for M. Night Shyamalan and it doesn’t work for you. Awful pasta.
Started out strong and slowly declined as it went on. Though I’m kinda reminded of a myspace chain bulletin, I was waiting for the re-post this five times or be met with some manner of horrible death.
Could have been really good. But holy crap was that a quick ending. I’m usually not one to complain but, come on. I’d say if the ending was changed this would be really good.
Just as I finished reading this an msn thingie popped out and I leapt out of my skin. A great pasta no matter what other people are saying. Allthough the dissapearing ending is kinda over used and it ends kinda abruptly.
sounded to me like it was written by a 12 year old
BOOOORING. Not creepy at all, trying to hard to be creepy….the ending was crap too, the dissapearing thing is so over-used. where have all the good writers gone?
…Wait, that was a bit harsh of me. XD
The beginning was promising, but then it quickly fell into an OMGTHEYALLDIE…MYSTERIOUSLY-LIKE thing.
It’s like the author started it out nice… and then suddenly realized the deadline was in ten minutes, so he/she just stuck in something generic.
2.5/5
…That one sucked.
