Description
DISCLAIMER: The following creepypasta contain sensitive materials such as gore, violence, mental illness depictions, suicide, etc. Reader discretion is advised.Note: Please do not harass the original author or anyone who makes content related to this pasta. This review was simply made for entertainment purposes only. This is all based on MY OPINION as well.
WELCOME BACK TO SAUCEZ REVIEWZ: Okay, you get the point
Rules:
-This is all based on my opinions. It’s okay if you agree or disagree with my list.
-I have to have read the pasta before, so there might be tons of pastas missing from this list and it’s most likely because I haven’t read the pasta before. Let me know if there were some pastas you would suggest.
-I would like to make this list a little more unique and not seem like every other best pasta list out there with having the same or similar entries. There might be a couple that a lot of people have put on theirs and it was still listed on mine, and it was probably because I wasn’t aware of their lists at the time, or I like that pasta too much to not make it just make it an honorable mention. The rest of the entries that I agree with will be placed in honorable mentions. So popular pastas like BEN Drowned, Russian Sleep Experiment, 1999, Psychosis, Candle Cove, The Smiling Man, NES Godzilla, smiledog.jpg, etc. would go in honorable mentions.
-I’m also going to specifically exclude any experiment creepypastas from the main list: it’s not that I hate those types of pastas, it’s that I’m a huge sucker for those types of pastas as they usually turn out to be some of the best pastas because of their realistic approaches. If I included experiment creepypastas, then the main list would be almost filled with them.
-Another note is I will be counting NoSleep stories and urban legends as creepypastas. Creepypastas are horror stories shared around the internet. NoSleep stories are also horror stories shared around the internet and Urban Legends are shared around in general, especially on the internet. In my opinion, they should count as creepypastas. I know that’s going to throw some people off since creepypastas, NoSleep stories, and urban legends are often categorized separately from one another. But I still think there are some really good NoSleep stories and urban legends out there..
Part I: Numbers 10-6
Part II: Numbers 5-4
Part III: Numbers 3-2
Part IV: Honorable Mentions
Part V: Number 1 - You are here!
So, it's the moment you've all been waiting for. The number 1 lesser-known creepypasta for my Halloween Special list. Now, let's do a recap of the list. If you've all noticed the themes for the entries on the list.
10- Winds of Regret- The fear of the unknown
9- The Girl in the Photograph- Being obsessed with something to the point that it kills you.
8- My Little Sister Murdered My Entire Family and It's All My Fault- Being concerned about the well-being of your loved ones.
7- Happy Sun Daycare- Trying to put the pieces together for a mystery to discover something supernatural.
6- They Were Missing for Less Than 24 Hours- The fear of an epidemic emergency, ensuring the safety and well-being of others, and surviving the unknown.
5- Japanese Urban Legends- You have to know what you're doing in order to survive.
4- Dementophobia- Insanity and the fear of inevitable terror.
3- The Journal in Storage Unit #25- Letting fear and insanity get the best of you, only to lose everything.
2- The “Forest Search and Rescue Officer” Series- Discovering the unknown/mysterious and the constant disappearance of individuals.
So, you've noticed a running theme of fear: fearing the unknown, fearing the inevitable, the fear of insanity, the fear of losing loved ones, etc. Survival is another running theme that it's important not to let fear get the best of you in order for you to make the right decisions. The last running theme I noticed was figuring out the mysterious and unknown. Is there a pasta out there that has all three of these themes? Why, yes. Yes, there is.
I've got questions for all of you. Does a creepypasta have to be realistic to be creepy? For it to work on a standard concept and level? Can the supernatural work for a creepypasta? Can a creepypasta be gross, gruesome, yet creepy at the same time to work? And most importantly, can a creepypasta be fantastic if you can feel the protagonist as if you were in their shoes for the story? Eh, you've all read the cover art, so you already know.
So, what's one pasta that does all these things simultaneously with its story? Well, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you number 1 of this list...
This series creepypasta does a lot of things right with its concept. The concept of it may sound cheesy at first because it's stories about an explorers whose been on the dogscape for years and another series about a protagonist and his father roaming around away from a threatening mobile land made completely out of dog heads and corpses.
However, it's the execution of it along with the realistic and convincing reactions and responses of the characters that make up for what could be considered a cheesy concept for a creepy story.
There are different kinds for this concept like the "Tales of the Dogscape" and "The Wander of the Dogscape"
The way the stories are written is well done with its metaphors and expressions to keep the readers interested.
Tales of the Dogscape features logs of how the protagonist whose been exploring the Dogscape for four years gets around the Dogscape with the soil being nothing but fur and dog piles for its first log.
The protagonist had to resort to roaming around the "garden" of the dogscape by feasting on the supposed puppy fruits forming from the trees of the dogscape and had to rely on drinking from the dog saliva river for water. I know that's disgusting, but I think it works because it shows the protagonist stranded on the dogscape with nothing else to do for survival. Their options are limited. You can feel the position of the protagonist being limited to such option.
The second log involves how the protagonist dug down into the dogscape to come across blood. The squelching screams would roar during the process. The protagonist got drenched in blood and gore. The protagonist got deep into the flesh, it started to regenerate before he could dig even deeper, forcing them to flee back up to the light. This just shows that the dogscape can't be destroy that easily as it can regenerate easily.
The third log describes more about the scenery of the saliva river head and more about the mounds of golden fur within the dogscape.
The forth log talks about the campfires they would make with the only flammable substance being the dog trees. Dogtrees and mother mounds are said to be their only food source within the dogscape which shows their limited access to food.
The fifth log features how the protagonist had dog named Carl during the beginning of the dogscape era with how he was being man's best friend by giving him puppy fruits, so he doesn't die from starvation. However, he eventually found Carl to be stretched up and was a part of the dogscape now. The protagonist attempted to pet him, but he got bit by them and wouldn't let go. That let him know that he had lost Carl forever. He goes on to say how he misses Carl. There's some emotional impact in here for you.
The sixth log talks about the dogmother which is said to be mind behind the dogscape and that their shed skin will eventually become one apart of the dogscape, which just shows the growing threat of the dogscape.
The seventh log emphasizes hopelessness and desperation. They said they'd lost the war when their general committed suicide. Soldiers are sobbing out of sorrow and fear, and to let the protagonist know that they have lost it, as he spotted one soldier was talking to a skeleton about how he lost his unit and they were blaming the dogscape for taking everything away from them. "My unit...completely wiped out...I saw those tentacles, and those mouths...they tore them to shreds. I ran away, even when they called for help...IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" "YOU RUINED EVERYTHING! YOU KILLED MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY, GOD---- EVERYONE!" The soldier stabbed one of the eyes with a bone fragment. A dogtree swatted him several yards away. This shows how much of a threat the dogscape is. The soldier broke some of his ribs when he landed on the ground of fur and flesh.
The soldier was dedicated in defeating the dogscape and wouldn't give up that easily. He got up and knocking out some teeth from a mouth and ripped out flesh until digestive fluid spilled all over him. He dug a hole through the grayish flesh to find the heart and brain of the mutant beast. he found a heart as he clawed at it, but the tentacles came to pierce his spinal cord and it made him fuse into the dogscape.
The eighth log mentions how he hasn't seen any other human being in years which indicates the loneliness that you can feel throughout this deadly scape of dogs. He is only writing these entries as a warning to anyone else who comes across his logs.
Oh dear, arachnophobes, please don't read this next part. The ninth log mentions how ticks seem to enjoy the dogscape the most. It was deep arteries of the dogflesh and endlessly leech of the new world's lifeblood. The protagonist witnessed a man at a dog pillar completely covered in ticks. Not even a single spot of him was clear from the ticks. The ticks were literally infested around his body, feasting on his blood for supper. The man tried to say one word to the protagonist but in a very raspy voice as his mouth was all red, Itch.
The tenth log talks about how the protag has vague memories of anyone including his family at this point. He had a few encounters with other human beings such as a women whose mouth was all dried up and red from a dog fetus and other men who were mesmerizing and became a slave to the mother dog. The human race may have some closure as the dogscape does not tolerate the disloyal subjects.
The eleventh log seems like the protagonist has lost it with getting calendar times and days confused because he states that it's year 100 in this one for the Galactic Calendar. It would make sense getting used to the dogscape settings.
The twelfth log talks about how the protagonist almost got merged into the dogscape with paws reaching out to grab him down, but he frantically broke himself loose from its grasp.
The thirteenth log is about a religion about worshipping the dog mother and it was forced upon the survivors to become loyal to the dogscape or be punished and suffer the consequences, that being death. The protagonist knew the dog mother was behind all of this and had to find a way to get rid of her.
The protagonist became weaker and weaker, suffering in search of the Mother of the dogscape. The protagonist becomes weak and desperate for his thrist to point of drinking blood from an artery of the dogscape. The protagonist comes around an actual manmade building that turns out to be a quarantine zone from the dogscape. One detail I like is that the place was alien to him because he got so used to the dogscape settings. His hands were purple and could not feel them at this rate. He could not understand the signs placed on the entrance to him, as he was too weak and out of it to understand. His vision was getting blurry as he "fell asleep and did not want to wake up".
"Epilogue
"My name is Charles Mountel, of Arctic Ice Station one. The abomination is not here, it is too cold. Tigger and I are the last survivors. We are 14 nautical miles South of the North Pole, directly North of Vancouver. Triangulate our position based on this radio signal. This message will repeat in five minutes."
The radio broadcast the message again, as it had thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of times. A cold, dead, desiccated body sat huddled before the radio systems in a chair. At its feet lay the curled, dead body of a mutt."
This epilogue makes the whole thing disturbing as if the whole thing with dogscape has spread around the world. I'm confused about what the dead, desiccated body at the radio systems and the dead body of a mutt is supposed to be. Is that supposed to be the Protagonist with Carl? I'm having a hard time understanding if the dogscape is supposed to be in their heads or a reality. I'm not sure because "the abomination is not here, it is too cold." indicates that the arctic is one of the safest places to be during the dogscape epidemic.
That's it for the "Tales from the Dogscape" proportion. There is the "Wanderer of the Dogscape" series which starts off with a boy and his father going camping in the woods when the father heard a massive amount of howling in the background, and eventually saw the "thing" and ran away with his son. They get into a car wreck, struggling to survive. The father wanted his son to be a grown man to help out with the emergency they were having with the dogscape spreading. They had to find shelter with the city being empty from people evacuating which shows how an epidemic can do a lot with humans when it comes to fear. They had to steal goods from a store that was empty for survive, but the dad made sure to leave money on the counter. They needed to find the supposed quarantine zones to be safe. The dad wanted to protect his son so badly from this epidemic. It's pretty much a mutant dog that mutates and its flesh spreads and covers the earth and engulfs humanity in its flesh, and humanity has to survive by fighting to eat and living on dog meat. It's just terrifying to read about what these people had to go through for this dogscape setting.
I apologize if this was underwhelming, but I think dogscape has kept me invested with its story because I believe it does things right that other pastas have failed to do where it has supernatural stuff involved but it still feels like it's in the shoes of some real person trying to survive.
The thought of having to be loyal to a mutated dog settings and mutated hounds that survey the scape every once in a while is unsettling to think about. The author has one heck of a twisted yet creative imagination.
You have to eat dog meat fruits and drink dog saliva to survive. It's survival of the fittest in a land made of dogs pretty much.
The strange thing about the "Tales from the Dogscape" and "The Wanderer of the Dogscape" is in "Tales", cutting through the dog flesh drenches you in its blood while in "Wanderer", cutting through the dog flesh burns you like acid.
I may have not said everything single thing about the Dogscape series, but I think it's for a good cause because I think you guys should give the series a look sometime.
But you see what I mean by how fearing the unknown, survival, and figuring out the unknown are themes of this pasta as well?
Is the pasta disgusting? Yeah, especially with the parts about salvia, but that's the point of it for the survival of humanity. Is it creepy despite being supernatural? Definitely, because you can picture what's going on with the details the protagonists in the series give away. I legit had genuine reactions of intensity and fright reading this series. That's what I like about the "Dogscape" series and why it is number 1 on this list. It's not as known, but it deserves more recommendations for fellow creepypasta readers. After all, it's a creepypasta and it has done its job at being creepy... in a good kind of way.
Aaaaaaand that's the end of my Halloween Special!!!
Thank you so much for your suggestions and patience.
I legit had fun making the cover arts for the special.
So this begs the question, will there be another list for Halloween next year?
I don't know.
But, for now, it's time for me to return to Pokepastas once again. I don't know which one I'm doing next whether it's Top Percentage, Glitchlett, PMD: Explorers of Death V2, or any others that I get the most motivated in reviewing, but we'll just have to see.
Thank you for reading!
