What makes creepypasta so scary?
Our online culture panel dives into the creepypasta genre, and the number one place to scare yourself silly online, the r/NoSleep subreddit.
Every week, q's online culture panel gets together to bring you up to speed on the big headlines taking over the internet right now. Today, Buzzfeed's social media editor, Elamin Abdelmahmoud, and WIRED's Angela Watercutter join Tom Power to talk about the r/NoSleep subreddit, an online forum dedicated to some of the scariest urban myths around. They discuss what makes the "creepypasta" genre so scary, and if TV adaptations of these online stories can stay true to the creepiness of the originals.
