CreepyPasta Chapters?

I think we all know what a creepypasta is, it's a short lil horror story made for some spooks. But if a Creepypasta got into DBD, what would it be, and how would it work? There's some popular stories like Jeff The KIller, or maybe The Rake. Slenderman could work, but at this point I don't think he counts as a creepypasta, more as his own thing. I could see Jeff being more of a legendary skin for Legion since, they're both just edgy teens with knives.

So, thoughts about any creepypastas coming into DBD?

    In my own personal opinion, I would rather any other kind of chapter. Even FNaF over Creepypasta. I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion, but I find a good portion of creepypasta's just plain out horrendous. I never understood the popularity of Jeff the Killer. Even when I was younger I wasn't scared by it, and looking at it the writing is pretty bad. Again, IMO. He just screams "Over the top edge bait" to me. Even more so than Legion. I VASTLY prefer SCP. I'm sure there are some decent creepypasta's though.

    I also don't really know how the licensing would work with characters like this. Like Public Domain, it sounds like it'd be a mess of international licensing laws.

    I mean, we all know that the original story is pretty bad, but you never know, DBD has made backstories like The Trickster and The Clown so maybe they'll manage to give Jeff an actual horror backstory

    That's true, but I'm gonna be honest, everything about Jeff the Killer is stupid to me. This isn't meant to bash on anyone that does like him, literally everything is subjective, I just never liked him. I just hate his design with a passion.

    Maybe DbD could pull something, but I doubt anything could make me like the character.

    Some of the killers can be Creepypasta characters, like Jeff the Killer, Slenderman, Zalgo, Sonic.EXE, The Rake, Eyeless Jack, Clockwork, & even Laughing Jack. Albeit they can be Ultra Skins for killers like the Titan skins, the Crypt TV skins, Krampus & Baba Yaga. Most likely for the Legion. You know, Jeff The Killer for Frank, Ticci Toby for Joey, & Hoodie & Masky for Julie and Susie. But there is some potential for a Creepypasta crossover chapter with a killer and survivors from the Creepypastas.

    What in Davy Jones' locker did ye just bark at me, ye scurvy bilgerat? I'll have ye know I be the meanest cutthroat on the seven seas, and I've led numerous raids on fishing villages, and raped over 300 wenches. I be trained in hit-and-run pillaging and be the deadliest with a pistol of all the captains on the high seas. Ye be nothing to me but another source o' swag. I'll have yer guts for garters and keel haul ye like never been done before, hear me true. You think ye can hide behind your newfangled computing device? Think twice on that, scallywag. As we parley I be contacting my secret network o' pirates across the sea and yer port is being tracked right now so ye better prepare for the typhoon, weevil. The kind o' monsoon that'll wipe ye off the map. You're sharkbait, fool. I can sail anywhere, in any waters, and can kill ye in o'er seven hundred ways, and that be just with me hook and fist. Not only do I be top o' the line with a cutlass, but I have an entire pirate fleet at my beck and call and I'll damned sure use it all to wipe yer arse off o' the world, ye dog. If only ye had had the foresight to know what devilish wrath your jibe was about to incur, ye might have belayed the comment. But ye couldn't, ye didn't, and now ye'll pay the ultimate toll, you buffoon. I'll ######### fury all over ye and ye'll drown in the depths o' it. You're fish food now, lad.

    Wait wrong kind of pasta

    It may work, if they picked the right character. Some may be outright "No's" such as the Sonic.exe and Inverted Mickey, due to licensing and such. But some may work:

    Slenderman is the obvious one, but a less likely one which could work well, especially thanks to the short film made on it which is a bit creepy and comedic, but could be pulled off as a frightening killer: The Smiling Man

    I just came here to say "duh, Jeff the Killer is just an edgy teen with a knife, ie maybe make him a Legion skin", but OP beat me to it. What a Ninja!

    Someone created these characters, you would probably have to track down the original creators (With Jeff The Killer, no one knows who created it, it dates back to old archives in Japan in the early 2000s) and ask their permission. He would I think be the scariest killer to me though... 😬

    Creepypasta/SCP/etc stuff is impossible for licenses because of copyright and intellectual property ownership nightmares.
