Undercooked Analysis

The wretched minions of Creative Horror extend some horrible holiday wishes this season. Featuring Seid and Raevell from The Witching Hour, the Pasta Shade of Midnight Marinara, Abysmii and Papreeka from Raygun Readers/Trick or Track, and our own David and Kaela for UCA.

Allen’s Eggnog.

More than halfway through the whole thing now, yet David and Allen struggle to muster any sort of enthusiasm as their dismal meandering through the endless expanse of this story continues. Will this part have any sort of unexpected surprises?

(Skip ahead to 3:18 if you want to avoid the sound of the hosts chomping food directly into microphones - their level of caring has hit an all-time low.)

A harrowing disaster means David and guests Beth Morton and Skill Flea are forced to recover from a lost recording by reading a haunted doll story, pulled at random from the depths of the Creepypasta Wiki. Will this make up for that time?

Skill Flea’s Scare My Friends Writing Challenge ends December 23rd.

After putting it to vote, David and Allen are stuck reading a some typical Creepypasta fair with a Don Bluth theme. Suffice to say, neither is surprised by what is contained in this story.

With Allen temporarily out of commission thanks to a blizzard, David and Kaela sneak into a story that's both Disney and Ritualpasta on a whim. How will this one stack up on both fronts? And will pulling double-duty help it avoid being stuck in the cliches of both categories?

t’s the fear of victory, and the agony of the Scarecrow as David and Allen take a reading break this week to discuss their favorite Batman villain with special guests Brian Ward and Dr. Andrea Letamendi of The Arkham Sessions podcast. What makes Dr. Jonathan Crane and his experiments in fear so compelling, how does he compare to the other members of the Dark Knight’s rogues gallery, and is he really insane or simply a man who lacks empathy?

In a twist that surprised David, Kaela, Abysmii and Papreeka, what begins as a fairly straightforward read into a story about nightmares quickly reveals itself to be the hidden backstory of one of the UCAHACU's myriad characters. Does this make the story unintentionally more enjoyable? You bet it does.

It's been awhile, but David and Allen are practically tripping over dead kids as they search for more odd staircases in MurderSatan National Forest, and they're none too thrilled about it.

David has a couple things to say about UCA, where it’s been and where it’s going.

Music: "It's Halloween-Lo-Ween (Dreamy Lounge Remix)" by Vasile Sirli.

he experiment of revisiting old Midnight Marinara stories continues, this time with David and Slimebeast as the test subjects. Together they go over the empirical data surrounding this popular Creepypasta from the early days of the genre, and see if it still holds up.
