creepy pasta idea 2
I'v been fairly stressed lately, so its no surpise that I have been haveing wieard dreams.
today I woke up extra early I had an interviwe and I was really nervous about it, but, thats not why I'm here.
I was so tired eventuly I fell alseep even if it wa the middel of the day.
You know those dreams that feel all too real, I had one of those
Back in the early 90's, Someone in my famaily had a conspiracy theory kick.
We would go down to the local video reantal palce,Tthere were two in town you went to the big corporate one to get movies family friendly and stuff like that.
It was one big room with blue carpet.
It sold candy and toys, It was wall to wall in tapes from big studios. you'd rent from a big counter in the middle.
The other palce in town that's were you went if you wanted well, difrent stuff, It had a lot of crappy home movie kinda things.
some guy shaveing in a mirror and calling it a magnum opus kinda stuff.
It was even set up weird having a taxademry bear in one room and an inflatable crocodile pool toy haning in the other.
We rented something there I cant rember the name of the vhs tape or anything, I was too young to write anything down, or care.
It was a compilation of odd occurrences from around the usa, but like done poorly.
Like 100 guys took a video camera went and recored stuff for a bad horror movie.
As far as I know, this never happend in real life, but I swear the dream was more like a memory than a dream.
I was sitting on the floor my family sitting on that old ugly couch from the 70's and dad in his rocking chair.
we where makeing fun of it.
"Haha look look you can see the strings."
"That is so obviously fake."
stuff like that.
Dad spoke up "well its past 9:00, you kids had better get to bed"
my siblings spoke up.
"oh come on dad we havent even goten to the good part."
"Well ok" he said trying to compromise.
"You guys can watch a couple more but thats it then you have to go to bed."
"Can we fast forward to a good one?"
"Well ok I guess."
I took a look at the back of the box each littel part of it had its own title. "A haunting in midtown"
"Disappearance on runaway road"
"When mannequins attack"
"That one sounds good" one of them said as the tape whirred away, fast forwarding past images of cardboard cutouts and sheets on strings.
"Disaperance on runaway road" the announcer said in a booming voice.
"This strech of I-90 is like every other Interstate in every other part of the good old usa, But the locals in this small town call it runaway road"
"Well, its the main road out of town teeagers trying to leave town or some times even kids deside they've had enugh of livin' at home walk down there, some dont come back"
a man in a sherrif out fit shurgs
"My son went down that road on a drunk dare one night, Him and his friends got up to that old shop and, and we never saw him again!"
a grandma starts wipeing a tear from her face
"We go looking for the kids and the younger teenagers, they don't know no better."
"The older ones tho we don't bother once your 16 or 18 your old enugh to make it on your own, The story is they made it to the town down the street and thats that."
the guy in the sherrif out fit shurgs again
"Boreing!"
"Ok last one." dad says firmly
"But dad."
"Last one." he says agan even more firmly
"When mannequins attack" the announcer said in a booming voice.
This one had eerie old sci-fi music and that cheesy 1950's font like on the old movie posters
"This quiet little town in the mid west" the announcer started up
"Just off I 90 is said to be home to one of the most haunted hat and dress shops in old america"
"Well it was an old hatters shop, You know the thing about hatters in the old days, They where all a littel crazy they dident know those chemicals where bad for you."
a grandam sat kniting on her front porch
"He was a little odd even for hatters, said he was 100 years old, No one complaned tho he made the best darnd hats in the whole country"
"The mad hatter of the mid west they called him"
a cop was on screen now but his face was blurd
"This was back befor the indsutral revolution pepole could still make money in a small shop, But times change, the old man coulden't take it, they say he would kill young women,"
"Ok thats enugh!" dad said "bed time now!"
"But" one of my siblings tryed to protest
"No bed time now!"
Thats where it should have ended, But it didn't.
even now I remember, Or dreamed remembering, I'm not so sure
brushing my teeth and going to bed, Getting into bed the blankets the covers.
After that I was there on runaway road the night those kids went missing.
"There it is." one of them siad "The old shop where that crazy old guy killed all those girls."
"Yeah they say he made them into mannequins."
"It's not a ledgand you guys it was real my grandma said her sister got got by that guy!"
"No way!"
"Yes way, My grandma said her sister was the prettiest girl in town, When the old man asked her to help him make dressed everone thought she be famous."
"Why would any one trust a crazy old man like that?"
"They just did, The old man lived in town for so long nobody thought anything of it."
"What happend?"
"The way grandma tells it, Her sister went there almost everyday she said the old man was useing her as a model to make dresses, evently she stoped comeing home."
"What was that? Did you hear that?"
"No theres nothing going on out here this time of night, What elce happend?"
"After a wile grandmas' dad got up set he got a bunch of men from the town and busted his way in, They said there where five girls in there stuck up like mannequins with pins and needels in them, All of them dead but still wearing the dresses he made."
"What did they do with him?"
"Drug him out and hung him on a tree then the burnt down the shop."
"Well that can't be true the shop is still there."
"But it has been burnd."
"Let's go check it out"
Strangly the door was open, everything was coverd in dust and smelled like ash.
A bord creeked and something suffeld in the dark.
"What was that?"
"Nothing you dumb ass, now be quiet"
"Might be a rat or something."
There was a sound like raspy breatheing and the, a cough
"What was that?"
"That was just one of us calm down."
"I dont think that was one of us."
Sudenly there was a thud and a bunch of knocking sounds
"there's somebody here!"
"quick everybody run!"
Almost the whole group ran from the old building, I or who ever I was looked back. A boy was standing there a cool looking guy abut 16 or so was hanging in the door way.
"come back here you chickens theres nothing in this old palce!" he shouted befor a hand reached out and grabed him.
we heard his scream and I or who ever I was lost it.
I, they truned and ran screaming not paying attetion they triped and looked back to see a skeleton looking figuer come out of the building and start running after everyone
the kid, I scrambled to my feet running and runing but, I triped again just befor i could cross the rode and that thing caught me...
I bolted awake, its the the middel of the night i had to write what I remmber or I might forget.
even now i think its kinda dumb, I havent thought about anything like that in years. havent even seen any scary movies latly maybe if i rember about it I'll ask one of my siblings about it
