    r/nosleep and r/creepypasta are unironically goldmines for this sort of thing. Just give the OP $20m and let them run wild with it I would watch the fuck out of that.

      I dunno if you already know about it but, if it is the type of thing you’re into, Channel Zero ran for about 3 seasons and was basically that.

        I watched Brand New Cherry Flavor which was really good, I will have to go back and finish giving the rest a shot. The first season didn’t quite grab me like the aforementioned though.

          Yeah; that’s fair. The whole thing – admittedly – sort of felt off, both in terms of tone and acting. Like, I’m glad it exists just because I (likewise) like the idea but I did struggle to get through all the seasons. Season 2 is the strongest (in my opinion).

          I hadn’t heard of Brand New Cherry Flavor; gonna add it to the list of media to check out.

            It’s based on a novel written by an author that got their start in the same creepypasta sub the others were pulled from. It’s really really good and is essentially the final season of that series they just changed the name because the guy actually wrote a book and published it.
