According to the story, the alleged rogue game developer who created the cursed game had a history of producing bootleg games. As the protagonist progresses through the levels of the game, they begin to notice increasingly strange glitches and anomalies. These include distorted graphics, characters behaving in unusual ways, and even instances where the game appears to be self-aware and is mocking the protagonist. As the game continues, it becomes more and more unsettling, with progressively bizarre and terrifying occurrences. As the plot of the NES Godzilla Creepypasta unfolds, the protagonist is haunted by increasingly bizarre and unsettling occurrences that seem to extend beyond the confines of the game. The protagonist hears Godzilla's roar coming from outside their window and finds that the game has somehow infected their computer, taking over their life. As the game's hold on the protagonist intensifies, they question their own sanity and begin to wonder if they are imagining everything or if they have been cursed by the game. In the climax of the story, the protagonist confronts the game's creator, who reveals that he had created the game as a means of unleashing a powerful curse on anyone who played it. The protagonist is then forced to play the game to the end, unleashing a terrifying, Lovecraftian monster into the real world. The story concludes on a cliffhanger, with the fate of the protagonist and the world left uncertain.

{{See Also|Akai Heya Complete Version}}
The animated "Red Room" legend involves two friends discussing a rumor about a mysterious internet pop-up ad posing the question "Do you like —?" with fatal consequences upon closure. Despite initial skepticism, one friend investigates, finding no information online. However, the pop-up appears during routine browsing, featuring a voice repeatedly asking "Do you like —?". Despite attempts to close it, the pop-up persists, with the voice becoming distorted until it asks, "Do you like red?" As the character persists, the voice eventually poses the complete question, "Do you like the red room?" Subsequently, a website displaying a list of names appears, and the protagonist senses a presence behind them. The next day, school gossip circulates about two students who purportedly took their lives by painting their rooms red with their own blood. The protagonist's computer screen then displays their name at the bottom of the list before shutting off with an eerie sound. If pop-ups are enabled, a pop-up resembling the story's ad may appear after the video concludes.

This shock video has an associated [https://trollpasta.com/wiki/1_Guy_2_Spoons creepypasta] written about it, which has since been deleted from the Creepypasta Wiki and moved to the Trollpasta Wiki for its low quality and perceived lack of scariness. The pasta largely just describes the actual video, but adds the twist of implying it has the supernatural ability to make people want to pluck their own eyes out with spoons. The narrator also name-drops other notorious shock videos, namely [[1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick]], [[1 Man 1 Jar]], and [[3 Guys 1 Hammer]].

There is a creepypasta based on the nonexistent “shock video” ''3 Orangutans 1 Blender'', which provides a backstory for the urban legend: according to the story, the video was made by an extremely violent cult-like group and consists of the titular orangutans getting chopped up in a giant blender-like contraption for the group’s sadistic amusement. It similarly [https://trollpasta.com/wiki/3_Orangutans_1_Blender:_The_Story_of_the_Most_Vile_Video_on_the_Internet ended up on the Trollpasta Wiki] for its comically edgy, low quality writing and general ridiculousness.

The story of [[Sonic.exe]] is an urban legend that revolves around a creepypasta that tells the tale of a cursed game cartridge that causes anyone who plays it to experience horrifying events. According to the story, Sonic.exe is a demonic entity that inhabits a cursed game cartridge, which is a modified version of the classic [[wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]] game [[wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]. The story begins with a gamer named Tom, who receives a mysterious game cartridge in the mail from his friend Kyle. However, when Tom starts to play the game, he notices that something is not right. The graphics are distorted, the music is eerie, and the gameplay is glitchy. As Tom progresses through the game, he encounters evil versions of Sonic's friends, who have been brutally murdered by Sonic.exe.
Sonic.exe is a fictional character that originated from a creepypasta story in 2011. The story describes [[wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]] turning into a demonic and murderous version of himself after being possessed by an evil entity.

In most depictions of Sonic.exe, his body is black with red eyes, and he has razor-sharp teeth and claws. His eyes are usually larger and more prominent than Sonic's, giving him an eerie and unsettling appearance. In some versions of the story, Sonic.exe is depicted as having a distorted, pixelated appearance, as if he is glitching out of the game. The character was created by a user named JC-the-Hyena<ref name="Daily">The Daily Dot. "Is Sonic.exe real?

The story then cuts to a scene where Tom's girlfriend, Sarah, is playing the game. She too experiences the same horrors and is ultimately killed by Sonic.exe. The story ends with Kyle, who reveals that he is the one who created the cursed cartridge as a twisted joke.
 
In addition to the original creepypasta story, a popular [[Sonic.exe|2D side-scrolling platformer game]] based on Sonic.exe was developed by MY5TCrimson and released on August 14, 2015. The game closely follows the original storyline,<ref name="Daily" /> with the player controlling Sonic's friends (including Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik) and encountering unsettling occurrences as they progress through familiar levels such as [[wikipedia:Green Hill Zone|Green Hill Zone]], albeit with darker and more disturbing twists. This remake proved to be highly influential in the horror game genre, inspiring numerous fan-made remakes and sequels that created a subgenre of ".exe" games. These games typically feature well-known video game characters, such as Mario or Sonic, who have been corrupted or possessed, and the player must navigate through a dark and twisted version of their world. Fans of the genre also began creating their own games based on these stories, using game engines like RPG Maker or Game Maker. Some of the most popular ".exe" games that followed Sonic.exe include [[Luna Game]], [[Yoshi.exe]], and [[Uchakip]], among others. These games often include similar themes to Sonic.exe, such as corrupted game files, distorted music, and [[jump scares]].

[[Wubbzysuicide666.win]] is a creepypasta that originated in 2014, created by [[Devin Millar]] using his alias "I'm So Sorry Please Forgive Me.mp4". The story revolves around a lost episode of a children's animated series called [[wikipedia:Wow Wow Wubbzy|Wow Wow Wubbzy]], which supposedly depicts violent and gruesome scenes. The episode allegedly starts with Ukrainian text and a bleeding mouth, followed by Wubbzy playing with a kickball before suddenly crying with black eyes and donning a cloak. He then proceeds to bang his head against a rock until he starts bleeding. The viewer is then shown all of Wubbzy's friends running away from a mysterious force that is hanging them. Daizy, one of the characters, goes on to kill everyone in the town of Wuzzleburg, with gory and hyper-realistic scenes. The episode ends with real-life footage edited with scary elements, including footage of a man killing himself and then coming back to life to join the horror with Daizy. The story concludes with the narrator revealing that they have been diagnosed with "CreepyWuzzle", a disease that requires the infected person to be killed to get rid of it. The narrator writes the story as they await their own death, revealing that their family was also killed by Daizy in the real world, leaving no hope for them.
Dead Bart is a creepypasta written around January 2010 by GameFAQs user K.I. Simpson<ref>gamefaqs.com/users/KI_Simpson</ref> as a creepypasta similar to [[Suicide Mouse]]. The story is about a lost The Simpsons episode made during Season 1. The author of the story says that he visited Matt Groening, and asked Matt Groening about the episode. Matt Groening then gives the author a link to the supposed episode. The author then decides to burn it onto a DVD.
 
The episode is about the Simpsons family going on a plane trip. While Bart was being in his usual behavior, Bart was fooling around. Bart would later break a window on the plane and was sucked out and was falling to his death. After then, it shows a "hyper-realistic" view of Bart's corpse. The show's second act features the Simpsons family's grief. Later on the third act, there is a title card saying that one year has passed. Homer, Marge, and Lisa appear to be sitting at the kitchen table with no sign of Maggie or the pets. The family then decides to visit the grave of Bart, in which it appears that Springfield is completely deserted. The family then arrives at Bart's grave and Bart's corpse is lying in front of his tombstone, appearing similar to the image of Bart's corpse featured in act one. The family then starts to cry. They then stop crying a few moments, and blankly stare at Bart's body.
 
Near the end, the camera starts to zoom in on Homer's face. Homer then tells a joke. A update would later be posted by the same creator of the creepypasta, which reveals the joke that Homer said was "If only we were all that lucky"<ref>creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/A_Dead_Bart_Update</ref>. The episode then ends with a zoom-out of the cemetery; featuring all of the names of every Simpsons guest star who has not died yet, all of them having the same death date.
 
Another official version of this creepypasta was made as a [[User:LuaGunsX/Archive/Creepypasta:Dead Bart Script|script]]<ref>https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/203-cartoons-and-animation/79726736</ref> made by K.I Simpson. It is currently unknown what this version of the creepypasta was written on.
