Creepypasta is the collective term for short horror stories, fanfiction, videos or other media, shared online with the aim of freaking out the reader. Takes after the act of "copypasta", postng the same thing again and again across the net, creepypastas can take the form of animated gifs or games as well… they can also include supposedly lost episodes of TV shows that feature death, or something downright odd.

The most famous creepypasta is probably the horror figure Slender Man, or the fictional arcade game Polybius, which have crept into urban legend, but there are many more including the fake lost Simpsons episode in which Bart Simpson dies, a haunted version of the Majora's Mask game that have led players to take their lives, or the Lavender Town level of Pokemon that was meant to feature frequencies that only children could hear.

So who better to visit this than Clive Barker? Taking on the legends of Slender Man, Jeff The Killer and BEN Drowned…. as a series of short films from Machinima called Clive Barker's Creepy Pasta, and adapted by Barker from submissions sent to him from the creepypasta community.
