Debut Buddies

First Creepypasta - Ted the Caver (2001)

Episode Summary

Hold onto your bits, and bring some extra batteries for your DeWalt drill! This week, Chelsea, Nate and Kelly spelunk through the very FIRST CREEPYPASTA online spooky story... TED THE CAVER. We discuss the Angelfire website (which still stands!), the brilliant pacing, a couple of questionable structure choices, and the existential dread of caving in total darkness. Join us for a crash course on little baby internet horror storytelling! (Plus, I See What You Did There!)
