Featuring videos of a glitched-out ROM of Majora's Mask, BEN Drowned follows the narrator through a terrifying playthrough where he's followed by statues summoned by the Elegy of Emptiness and repeated phrases that take on a sinister meaning, such as, "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" Majora's Mask is something of a creepy title to begin with, making this story a natural choice for creepypasta. But this story took the now-cliché idea a step further by maximizing the potential of the internet for storytelling. Here we take a look at some of the most famous video game creepypasta stories of all time.īEN Drowned is one of many 'haunted cartridge' creepypastas, in which the narrator finds that the cartridge of a beloved childhood game they've bought or found from a dubious source is out to get them.

This is especially true of video games, which are a childhood staple for many internet users, and also frequently accused of inciting violence, hatred, or rampant sexual behavior by critics. Like the internet's version of urban legends, these stories tap into the things that scare us, frequently taking familiar ideas and making them frightening.
