Creepypasta isn’t scary noodles, it’s the 21st century version of the campfire ghost story, only spoken around computer monitors instead of flames. The creepypasta wiki is full of the best ones, and SyFy has been doing something novel by taking some of the most popular creepypasta and adapting them into seasons of Channel Zero, their new anthology horror series. Season 1 premiered last year and was based on Kris Straub’s viral tale “Candle Cove,” about an unnerving kiddie puppet show from the 60’s that turns out to be more than just a program. This year they’re adapting “No-End House,” which is honestly one of the best things I’ve ever read from someone who wasn’t getting paid to write it (hopefully the royalties from this show will take care of that). It’s a fantastically scary tale about a man who takes up a dare to enter a house with nine rooms. If you can reach the end you get $500, but legend has it no one has ever made it through
