Top 10 Best Gaming Creepypastas

Ben Drowned (The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask)

BEN Drowned is a videogame-themed creepypasta and alternate reality game created by Alex Hall, who is also known online as Jadusable. The story revolves around a haunted Majora's Mask Nintendo 64 cartridge possessed by a malevolent entity named BEN. It became popular for its use of eerie storytelling... read more

One of the best creepypastas out there, in my opinion. The one that started clichés, and gaming creepypastas, for that matter. Yes, Ben Drowned deserves to be first on this list. It is by far the scariest creepypasta I have read.

It's indeed really scary, showing a haunted game probably haunted by the dead spirit of "Ben."

Majora's Mask has to be one of my favorite Zelda games, next to A Link Between Worlds. I just love this creepypasta.

Sonic.exe (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Sonic EXE, also known as Sonic.exe, is a creepypasta based on the classic Sonic the Hedgehog video game. It presents a horror-themed reinterpretation of the game, where players encounter a sinister, supernatural version of Sonic. The core story revolves around a teenage boy named Tommy, or simply Tom... read more

Ok, so I love Nintendo and generally hate Sega, as well as Sonic. But this creepypasta turned it all around because it was amazing. I played the game, and the I AM GOD scene made me love Sonic games, as well as the blue-spined hedgehog himself. In fact, I named my Sonic amiibo.EXE.

This started a big cliché in creepypastas. It goes along the lines of, "The title screen was the most deadly, demonic thing ever, but I thought it was a glitch and played on."

His game is short but kind of fun for people who love creepy things like me.

Mario (Super Mario)

Guess what? I didn't sleep for 10 weeks and 13 days, and that demon is going to get a punch in the face. 0_0 Hehehe... Sorry, 0_0 and I'm a girl.

I am a huge fan of Mario games, and I will therefore jump to read a creepypasta like this.

Is the creator of the hacker... the killer?

Herobrine (Minecraft)

Oh come on! Do you know Herobrine, the creepy Steve with no white eyes who haunts people in Minecraft?! To my surprise, Herobrine is Notch's dead brother! Oh, come on, people!

I love Minecraft, so I had to pick Herobrine!

It's just amazing how people made HIM a creepypasta!

NES Godzilla (NES Godzilla Creepypasta)

This creepypasta is a nostalgia overload, and it is by far the best gaming creepypasta for several reasons:
1: It doesn't depend on excessive gore. That simply is not scary.
2: The antagonist develops a complex personality, which is quite rare in gaming creepypastas.
3: The final battle was the most satisfying thing in any gaming creepypasta.
There are many more reasons, but I will leave them out so this doesn't take up much space.

I honestly think Ben Drowned is the best gaming creepypasta, but since it's already the most voted, I decided to go with my second favorite. NES Godzilla is such an underrated story, and I would suggest this to anyone who hasn't read it yet.

Lavender Town Syndrome (Pokémon Red and Green)

It was the first creepypasta I ever read, and my heart was pounding during the song and everything.

Mm, this one's neat. The music is very creepy. I tend to avoid it because the beeping gets on my nerves.

I don't know this one, but the name is cool.

Pokémon Lost Silver (Pokémon Silver Hack)

Lost Silver is where this creepypasta addiction of mine started. This is why it is good:
To start, all of the clichés in the story were not clichés when it was originally created. Also, the symbolism is impressive. The story represents the inevitable death of 8-bit games, as Silver is the last Pokémon game on the Game Boy.

Dang it! I voted for NES Godzilla because I didn't see this one!

He has no arms or legs. How is he supposed to throw a Poké Ball or hold a Pokémon?

Polybius (Arcade)

I actually liked it for its known seizures. By the way, I have seizures though.

Strangled Red (Pokémon Red Hack)

Definitely one of the best gaming creepypastas out there! Beats Lavender Town Syndrome, Creepy Black, Buried Alive, and Lost Silver too, in my opinion...

A shocking turn of events will leave you disturbed.

Come Follow Me (Pokémon Hack)

One of the better creepypastas. This one actually surprised me when I read it. The writing is good, I loved the plot, and the climax is very well done. This is a creepypasta for the ages!
I would recommend reading this blind, so I will not spoil anything. I will just say this: once you find out what is in the game causing all the suicides, you will have a shiver down your spine.

Scariest gaming creepypasta ever.

This is literally the scariest creepypasta I have ever read. It took a while, but I finally did it.

Possessed Amy Rose (Sonic the Hedgehog)

If you don't know how this works, it's simple. It's a cursed Sonic Generations game, and you start as Classic Sonic, who is running from Amy. But, no matter how hard you try, Amy catches you anyway and decapitates Classic Sonic. Then the same thing happens with Modern Sonic.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Horror of Chernobyl (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.)

Tails Doll (Sonic R)

Tails Doll is a character that first appeared in the video game Sonic R, released for the Sega Saturn in 1997. It was created as a robotic imitation of the character Miles Tails Prower and is featured as a hidden racer in the game. Although not originally intended to be frightening, Tails Doll later... read more

I have played that game. It's not that scary, but it's fun to play. Where Tails has to get out of his nightmare, he has to fight the Tails Doll.

Tails Doll <3
In fact, today I drew a picture of her on a paper towel, front and back, stuffed it with more paper towels to make it look slightly real, and put it on my brother's bed. With a knife next to it. He screamed so loud.

Sonic.exe is my favorite. I love the Mario series, so Mario is creepy, but this one has got to be the scariest!

Giygas (EarthBound)

Giygas, also called Giegue, is the main antagonist in the video games EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound.

He is an alien being with immense psychic power who opposes the main characters in both titles. His presence influences many of the events in the games, making him one of the most iconic... read more

Shadows (Super Mario Galaxy 2)

Oh, I didn't see this one. I wish I voted for it. I like Sonic.exe, but this one might be tied for my favorite.

I never even noticed that until I saw the creepypasta video.

Glitchy Red (Pokémon Red Hack)

Mr. Mix (PC Game)

The ending of Mr. Mix made me laugh.

The Theater (PC Game)

Noli (Pokémon ROM Hack)

Hidden Message (Sonic CD)

Pokémon Dead Channel (Pokémon Hack)

Pokémon Black (Pokémon ROM Hack)

BRVR (Pokémon ROM Hack)

He is a horror Pikachu, and he eats people. How is he not scary? And he says, Do you still love me?

Super Mario 64 Damned (Super Mario 64 Hack)

Jvk1166z.esp (The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Mod)

This story I liked. I liked this creepypasta because it's a story that actually makes me afraid.

Personally, this is a video game creepypasta done right. It doesn't use many clichés and isn't just another "spooky haunted game" creepypasta. It uses a mixture of the surreal and realistic, as the events in the story could likely happen.

This one is cool. It really messes with your mind.

Hell Valley Sky Trees (Super Mario Galaxy 2)

Poking around in the game files, the data indicates that these are called "sky valley hill trees." Even though they look nothing like trees, they resemble three figures staring down at you.
