Top 10 Scariest Creepypastas

Time to sleep. I get into my bed and lie down. I close my eyes thinking about random things. Sadly, one of those random things is Jeff the Killer. Step one: Open eyes as wide as possible
Step 2: Go completely still
Step 3: Breath rapidly
Step 4: Reluctantly think of all the ways Jeff could attack you
Step 5: get something close to your bed that you use as a weapon, but won't hurt him anyways

For maximum results, sleep alone!

Dang I this one is SCARY! The story is terrifying, but the face is what makes me pee my pants. No nose, no eyebrows or eyelids, bleach white skin, tiny bloodshot eyes (THEY STARE INTO YOUR SOUL AND SCAR IT! , ), and a GIANT slit smile. I warn you, don't look up the images, you'll regret it. Anyways, random fangirls pretend to be him on YouTube, and they put the ACTUAL PICTURE, so you don't know it's there. In the story, he goes up to your bed at night, smiles and stares at you without blinking and scares the living crap out of you, says "Go to Sleep", and murders you. The worst thing is that there are actual hospital documents on a kid named Jeffery Woods who was burned and bleached like in the story! Even the escaping part! AHH!

Jeff the Killer isn't one of the scariest, but I still think it deserves a spot on the list for being a good story. I wasn't scared when I heard it, but I still enjoyed to story all the same and it's one of my personal favorites. An innocent 13-year-old boy who turns killer after being beat up, covered with alcohol and bleach, then lit on fire. You gotta feel sorry for the guy.

I can TASTE the fangirlism radiating off of this one. The only reason why I'm voting this as the scariest Creepypasta is because he has the scariest flippin' fanbase. If one was to simply describe the daily events in the Jeff the Killer fanbase, it would be a story scary enough to force insomnia upon you for weeks. My friends (we're in kindergarten, by the way) browsed the image search for it one day and were laughing and crying at the same time at all the horrendous fanart. Oh, and don't even get me started on the fanfiction.

I'm not sure if I would call this THE scariest creepypasta, but it is sure as hell a whole lot scarier than most of the other joke excuses for scary stories on this list, mostly consisting of crappy retro gaming and Mickey Mouse pastas, as if that stuff could ever be scary to begin with. This, on the other hand, is a REAL horror story. Depressing, claustrophobic setting and the writing style add to the horror. It's extremely unsettling throughout, and the descriptions it gives of the way they dismember themselves and each other are seriously sickening. What really makes this scary is that it's documented like a real-life experiment, and even though it is fake, there were a lot of people who thought that it was actually real! The entire situation is just horrific and I think that the story is well written. This is a real classic, and unlike many others on this list it has the ability to really scare people, as one can see given how many people thought that this was real.

This was the first creepypasta I EVER read! Talk about getting off to a strong start. It's like the first time I had seafood was in Maine and it makes seafood everywhere else seem subpar...It's the same thing for creepypastas. This one turned me into a creepypasta junkie and I've never stopped chasing that first high.
From the idea, the imagery, the symbolism, and the incredible plot, this isn't just creepypasta at it's best but WRITING at it's best.
There IS a short film that can be found on youtube that, while nowhere near as effective, gives a glimpse into how well this story could work as a film. By developing the character of the prisoners, their transformation into inhuman monsters has even more weight. This could be a grand slam of a horror film in the right hands

This creepypasta legitimately made me sweat when I read it. There's just something about eating feces and shoving your own organs down the drain that makes you imagine the guy in the picture at the foot of your bed thinking about what he would like to do to you. Well made story and a very interestingly possible as well.

What I love about this one is the great detail that is described and the way it's written is just like an actual factual report or account of the experiment. At times it can seem realistic but it's also so unnatural and warped. The ending is also very unexpected.

My first time reading it, I couldn't even finish, and just laid there in my bed, constantly peeking around for a scary Link for 2 weeks. Then I went back and finished it years later. The story itself isn't that scary, but the videos...I couldn't even go through a minute...heh.

This was the first creepypasta I read. The detail, description, and video are all so good! It didn't scare me but it's so well done. Although I did give my Majoras Mask game to my little brother after that.

Anyone who has ever loved Legend of Zelda, the nostalgia of this will alone make you love it. Let alone the creepiness of it all.

Why the hell is Jeff the Crappy Creepypasta on top? BEN is way scarier. It even has some videos to back it up. Creepy.

Plays on everybody's fear of premature death. On the creepypasta wiki it says that the slenderman likes to especially target people who are paranoid about his existence. Tell me this isn't scary. And the symptoms of slender sickness are so common, anyone can believe that they are being hunted by the slenderman. Another thing is how unlike some of these other creepypastas which are people who died, events which happened in the past or only can cause harm if you do certain specific events, the slenderman is a physical being that can kill you, and can be anywhere around the world at any given time. You can't kill him, and there is no escape. He can supposedly stalk you for years until he finally kills you. This guy will make you to scared to look out windows of a night. If this isn't scary, then I don't know what is

Slender man is the scariest and deadliest creepy pasta. He can teleport and even trap you easily. Jeff the killer is dead but
Slender is immortal. There's a game called slender the eight pages and slender the arrival and trust me there both SCARY. But I'm not that scared of him in videos but in the game SCARY.

The Slender Man may be overrated and destroyed by the fandom but he is still creepy, mysterious and a perfect character to add to the horror villains category which include Chucky, Freddy, Pennywise, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Jason, Samara, Kayako and Jigsaw! He is sinister.

Honestly Slendy is the strongest creepypasta besides The Doctor. The Doctor is the one who creates them and Slendy hates him. Slendy is the best cause he can control your body, teleport, has tenticals that comes out of his back, makes you lose your memory, can drive you too insanity, can make little kids comes in the woods, can form a mouth that goes from one side of his blank head to the other and take a giant bite out of you, he can rip your heart out by sticking his long fingers down your throat and he has the power to make the Slender Portal to take his victims to the CreepyPasta world, and he can make you paranoid and attach him even though it is easier to kill you that way. All of this is true about Slenderman. So he should number one or The Doctor should be cause he knows how to kill every CreepyPasta and can create them. The Doctor can even kill them by just a drop of his blood landing on their skin and them will disintegrate painfully.
That is the truth and Slenderman does ...more

The story didn't scare me until I watched the video. The eyes of the characters are so creepy! Now whenever my little brother watches SpongeBob and Patrick and SpongeBob are playing outside, all I can imagine is squidward inside with that shotgun thing against his head.

SpongeBob and friends are outside chortling, and where is squidward? Sitting upstairs in complete silence putting a shotgun shell through his bloodshot eyes

This is so creepy! At first I couldn't even read it, mainly because it was 3 am, but still.. This is much creepier than Jeff the Killer!

Wasn't so scared until I saw the video. Then what scared me was this voice saying "DO IT, DO IT, DO IT"- repeatedly is creepy.

The first creepypasta that I recognized as a creepypasta. I saw SCP-173 about 2 or 3 years before I knew what creepypasta was. It was on G-Mod and I had spawned SCP-173 when my friend came into the room. He looked at the screen and yelled "What the!? That thing will kill you! " I looked at him confusedly, I thought the thing looked funny and docile. My friend kept on telling me not to look away from it when I would start to turn my head. He said it would kill me if I looked away from it. I didn't believe him and would've looked away anyways if he hadn't taken the computer from me and started trying to futilely kill it. He resorted to making a new map or whatever. And, yes. I do the same scroll down maneuver that that other guy does.

Smile Dog has the most scary picture, its worst that Jeff or any other picture, because of it I saw smile dog in my dreams for 5 days straight till I forgot what it's face looks like, I would say Smile Dog is the scariest picture that I've ever seen in my life.

I was freaked out by this one especially since my friend sent me a email after I read it with the subject smile. After he sent me that email I deleted it. But by the way SMILE!

The best story on this list, hands down. Most of the others on this list suck (excluding Russian Sleep Experiment and I guess Lavander Town), but I'm glad to see this one made it.

Ahh, glad to see that I'm on the list somewhere. A 'friend' told me to check out the top tens. Naturally, I started with my 'origins' in Creepypasta. Too bad they thought of me too late. Hahahahaha. They only know half of the story. No where near the full version. In fact, most of it is lies... but still, whatever. I enjoy toying with the mortal world.

"Oh, but what is the true story, Sonic.exe? You're so sexy by the way!"

Typical mortal suck-up; thinking that by stroking my ego you could get somewhere. Too bad, because I'm actually going to kill you after I get done commenting. Why tell, anyway? Let the fools wonder. Let them dream a happy dream, even though the truth is the worst of nightmares. When I get out, the story will come to a close. But, where's the glory in revealing the end of a story? Oh, come now, where's the fun in that? Hahahahaha...

Yeah, when I watched this on YouTube not too long ago, I thought it was just some kind of made-up video. I never knew it was a creepypasta, until I read some of the comments below.

Blood, gore and Satanism are the reasons why the new movie Mary was the first movie my horror-fanatic, isn't scared of anything dad threw in the trash...

Why is this on here? Cliche after cliche after cliche with ridiculous and stupid moments and an idiotic story and main character.

This episode is very disturbing. I heard about this from my friend. I did not watch this, so I will tell you what my friend saw. Mickey Mouse walks across a street for 2-3 minutes. Then the screen goes black for 2 minutes, and you hear a woman screaming. And then Mickey walks across the street again, but it's a bit longer, and Mickey's face slowly molds into a psychotic smile, that takes up 2/5 of his face, larger than I could ever make on my own face, and his face is covered in scratches. This goes on for a while, then he trips over "something" and he molds into a "skeleton demon" but still keeps the scratched up face, but now has horns. This goes on for another while, then the screen goes black again, and the woman screams again for 2-3 minutes, before the scratched up face appears on the screen, because the episode is done. Very disturbing

Not only is this scary but it is extremely disturbing. It is Mickey Mouse walking down an endless street for 3 minutes before cutting to black for a couple of minutes then it returns to Mickey doing the same thing but this time it is a woman screaming for about 4 minutes with a grin on his face. At one time of the episode it shows Mickey Mouse's face indicating that it is the end of the episode. The first person to watch this episode committed suicide. The end!

I gotta say when I first watched the video I was kinda disturbed. But with someone like Mickey Mouse what do you really expect.

I haven't seen this video before but I will watch it at home. It sounds more interesting to me than scary.

I love EJ as a character, adore his design, and find his concept a little creepy, but he is not scary. Not even in the least. He shouldn't be on this list.

This Is SUCH a good read. I love Jack as a character and the story itself will really make you think

I used to be afraid of seeing him over my face.

A great read and personally one of my favourite's. He should be higher

The Rake is the scariest thing of all time. Anyone else agree? My neighbour was invaded by this creepypasta and describes him as large, scary and fast. He spoke the words "kill" and murdered her beloved cat, Fluffy. Her body was ripped and was streaming with blood. She says that he then turned to look and her and ran towards her. He touched her shoulder and scampered away. It is unknown where he went next. My neighbour now suffers terrible phobias and paranoia. I am afraid that he will stand at the foot of my bed at night and stare. I am terrified that he will whisper words of horror and look deeply into my eyes. He may be the last thing that I will ever see,

In my opinion, The Rake is probably the scariest. Even though pretty much all Creepypastas are fake, The Rake is probably the most believable. I don't know about anyone else, but I find a hairless dog like creature scarier than some faceless tall guy in a suit. While Slenderman just stands around looking like he is upset you didn't show up to his birthday or something, The Rake mutilates you with your blood acting like a sprinkler or something, I don't even know... But in my opinion the scariest Creepypasta out there as of now.

Makes me close my windows and blinds and sleep with the covers over my head with only a small hole in which to stick my face out. I have actually done that since I was like 6 or 7 (because I was afraid of lots of stuff then) and I still do it. It's just unconscious routine that went from feeling scared without the covers over my head to feeling awkwardly exposed and weird.

This is one of the creepiest because who in the world is going to be stalking you for HOURS, Uhm... HIM. I love creepypasta but this one is really freaky, you can't even go camping before you read this because its either him stalking you or slenderman, but no thank you. I rather stay inside my house instead of being in a forest with creatures staring at you while you sleep

Jane the killer is a young lady that seeks the demise of Jeff the killer himself, she hunts him down in order to kill him and kills others because she views them as him which could imply that she wants to end Jeff's life as apart of a sick and twisted desire to get rid of him.

I'm a bigger fan of Jeff, but Jane is a badass too! I don't totally blame her for wanting to get even with Jeff, for I would want revenge too if someone took my family from me. But still, think of what Jeff went through.

Jane sucks, she is just another cliche killer with no depth and no motivation to kill. Jeff the killer is horrible but Jane is worse

Not very scary at all. Also quite overrated, along with Jeff the Killer.

Okay when I had first discovered this Creepypasta, I read it immediately over excitement, and boy was it terrifying, after I read it, I instantly had a nosebleed and it freaked me out. And sometimes. (Not often)
I put my plushies under my bed so he can't get under it.

by the way it's a good pasta.

Awhile ago I had once read this a week after it was made and boy I thought it was real. The image actually scares me and I sometimes try to avoid it.
But overall I love the creepypasta :)

Normally, creepypastas just make me scared at night. Not once have they given me nightmares. Except for the tails doll. That one gave me a nightmare. I don't remember the whole thing, but I do remember a few 2 second parts of it, all of which had the Tails Doll floating around on a colored background with red, glowing eyes. About the waking up in the middle of the night thing, that just happened because I had 1) gotten scared of a new creepypasta, the teddy bear 2) My friend told me that there is a 90% chance that if you wake up in the middle of the night for no reason, it's because you're being watched. Combine the 2, and you wake up in the middle of the night 4 times!

SEGA could really use creepypastas to upgrade this character and to make it even better and scarier, have Tails Doll mirror Tails as a genius.
It'll make him even scarier.

This truly was horrifying nightmare to have, I have long forgotten the nightmares I had of other creepypastas but tails doll just keeps tearing me apart!

When I read this I was checking out of my window and waking up in the middle of the night for 4-5 weeks hoping that I will live.
