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.

“Head to toe”?
Dude.. It’s a house.
Really? People find this trash good? This isn’t creepy. Poor word choice, missing conjunctions, generally terrible English, and to top it off, shitty story.
Honestly. Terrible.
This was very poorly written, but entertaining enough, I guess.
Nice story with a good idea but kinda fell flat at the ending didnt make much sense
Had potential, then…
Ending made me derp.
That honestly sounded like one of those joke creepypastas that intentionally suck
loveed itt!!!! fuck me yeah??
Starts with a good concept, then degrades as it progresses, into a typical ‘everyone dies’, and finally of course the abysmally abrupt ending of ‘they were never seen again’. Sub-average pasta. However, one question remains…
WHO WAS PHOTO?
couldve ended it with his friends found him sliced in the face but overall loved it
Obviously written by somebody with a limited understanding of the English language. Disappointing. 0/10
Fear the Darkness
-Nex
Poorly done, half-hearted, flat ending.
Weird animal thing? lolwut?
sounds like an excerpt from the worst goosebumps book I’ve ever read
Uh.
Half-ass much?
As everyone else said, this is so much like Goosebumps’ “Say cheese and die” I thought that from the mom bit.
And the ending sucked.
Horrible ending. Had the writer kept up what he was doing at the beginning with horrific events predicted in the photographs, rather than what is there now, it would have been a much more enjoyable read.
Ending=lazy
Could have done much better. Also, improper use of “whom”. Using “whom” does nothing to make your story sound more srs if you use it improperly.
The ending was predictable.
It started off good, predictable, but good. I was looking forward to seeing what happened to the photos of his siblings and father. YOu could have mentioned that. BTW, the the hell is going on with the animal? An animal wouldn’t cause third degree burns so it doesn’t really link and why were the friends never seen again? Where they in the photos to?
I is slightly confused…
Creepypasta was………..bleh
The Pasta regarding Candlejack is way bett
DAMMIT. That was great until the last sentence. Probably could have had some more good story with going into EXACTLY what happened to the friends, not just “And they were never seen again.”
Lame.
Also, how did the animal get in there? And how did the whole family get home?
….I was one of his friends. O__O
ending fail!
concept was good. execution up until the sister’s death was okay. after that, it was crappypasta.
End was horrible, no offense.
Just too abrupt and forced.
If you had explained how his family had gotten in front of his bedroom (especially since his mom and dad clearly stayed at the hospital), what the animal was, and what happened to him and his friends, it would’ve been better.
All in all, 6.5/10
THEN WHO WAS PHOTO?!
sooo…. he kills that which he sees in pictures? wth happened to his friends then?
Theres Liike….. A Goosebumps Book Liike Thiis…….ii Fiink iits Called Say Cheese An Diie………..Dunno iit Wos Alriight
I feel like this would have been better if there had been more of an ending to it. “They were never seen again” just doesn’t suffice in this case.
