Peephole

This is an experimental project I've had cooking in the back of my mind for the last few days that I've been lurking creepypasta threads in /x/.

Special thanks to the folks at /x/. I did not write this material, it has been taken and modified (for simpler storytelling) from material posted on /x/.

The original creepypasta is as follows:

"My dad told me this story when I was twelve years old and we were on a camping trip in the forests of Texas.

He had just moved into his own apartment for the first time. He was going to college and he had a job, and he had rented a small, one bedroom apartment near his job and the campus he was attending. On one of the first few nights he spent there, from outside his door came a loud knocking. Someone was knocking at the door, but not his door. They were knocking on the one across the hall. My dad didn't think much of it, of course, but the knocking continued for awhile and it began to annoy him. It was loud, frantic, irregular in its rythym, and each knock pissed my dad off a little more. Eventually he decided to go look out his peephole and see what the commotion was all about. When he looked out the peephole, there was a woman standing right outside of HIS door, staring into the peephole, right at him. My dad was shocked and he backed away from the door. He had expected to see someone across the hall, with their back to him. He checked that the door was locked, then he looked back out the peephole. No one was there. The hall was empty. And... the knocking had stopped.

He stared out into the hall for a while, confused as to what was happening, when suddenly the door across the hall opened and a man stepped out. He was around 50 (my dad was in is mid-twenties at the time). The older man looked down the hall in both directions. He was obviously frightened and confused. He went over to my dad's door and knocked quietly, hesitantly. My dad opened the door, and asked what was going on. The older man admitted he was just as confused as my father. He had been coming home to his apartment a few minutes before, but as he was walking down the hall he saw a woman at the other end, staring at him. He said her face looked like pure evil. He was scared of her so he quickly opened his door and went inside, then locked it. He watched out his peephole as the woman came slowly down the hall to stand in front of my father's door. The look on the woman's face scared the older man so much that he began frantically knocking on his door, hoping to alert whoever lived across the way (my dad) of the danger outside. The woman just stood there for the longest time as the older man kept pounding on his door in warning. After a while she turned and ran off without making a sound.

I don't know if that's very scary to you /x/, but when I was 12 years old in the middle of the dark woods, it scared the hell out of me. Anyway, there you go. True story, as far as I know."

Sound editted and recorded using GoldWave.
Music: Confusing Melody by Yasunori Mitsuda from the Chrono Trigger Original Soundtrack.
Video synthesized in Windows MovieMaker.

Addendum 7/8/08: Heh, I just noticed one of the related videos is Team Fortress 2 How to play Sniper (which actually has some decent advice, though it doesn't match the quality of EvilDaedalus' How To TF2 videos), probably because the peephole does kinda look like the sniper scope.

Addendum 7/12/08: I'm about an hour away from uploading my second video. Doing a quick check on this one for comparison. I've noticed the volume's kinda loud on this one; I've recorded my second one much quieter.

Also, apparently Storm Trooper Smash is now a related video. I suppose it is pretty creepy on several levels...

@KizukiYamada

It both alarms and impresses me that so many people instantly recognize that song.

Before viewing this, I thought this one would be about the red eye at the keyhole... the creepypasta in the hotel I think?

Anyway, good work. Creepy.

[SCPantera]

See my other videos.

That was cool! When it was talking about the face of pure evil I kept expecting an aspect of a screamer vid, I kept expecting a creepy shit face to pop out at me! I think the amount of suspense the music created was perfect. ♥

[SCPantera]

In retrospect maybe I should have done something there, but I guess I'm still pretty satisfied with it as is. I didn't want it to be too gimmicky.

BUT WHO WAS DOOR

[MercurialIris]

[KizukiYamada]

[endersgame55]

Okay, well, that was a whole lotta nothin'.

[KayKaylovezyouzz]

That was really good it kept me is suspense through the whole video. I was expecting you to show a picture of the woman that you were talking about. Or at least something scary for that matter. Was there like a story behind what happened like did other people see what you two saw??!!

[VicariousReality7]

What.

[1straptureb4antichri]

HOW FREAKY! i found this video from a related video (Confusing Melody long version from Magus' castle from Chrono Trigger). It's freaky b/c the video had 9,999 views when I watched it here and Magus' HP is 6,666 (the inverse numbers of the view of this video)!!!
