The experiment of revisiting old Midnight Marinara stories continues, this time with David and Slimebeast as the test subjects. Together they go over the empirical data surrounding this popular Creepypasta from the early days of the genre, and see if it still holds up.

David invites Seid and Raevell of The Witching Hour back to discuss the piece that inspired Midnight Marinara's 2nd episode, the tale of a troubled artist and a very weird town. Is the story a true work of art, or did it take a remix from the Pasta Shade to turn a troubled tale into a gallery display?
"The Art of Jacob Emory" is credited to Peterdivine. Read along here.
With Midnight Marinara's 5th anniversary on the horizon, David introduces a new segment looking back at the stories that were adapted into audio drama. Does the source material for the first episode still hold up on its own? David and Kaela check in to find out.
"Just Telling Stories" was written by Karl Drinkwater. The version read here was originally posted on Creepypasta.com and is now removed. An updated version, along with several other short stories by Karl, can be found in his short story collection They Move Below here.
David and Kaela are back from a recent trip to Walt Disney World, and with Disney on the brain pull up yet another macabre Magic Kingdom story. What are the odds that this NoSleep account of a construction worker's weird experience will turn out good when most Disney Creepypasta fall into cheap cliches?
"Working at Disney" is credited to BLEETCH1994. Read along here.
David and Allen keep climbing up this story, but will it be for naught as they're let down by news of possible plagiarism and the sheer tonal weirdness of some sections of the story? Maybe they are better off reading that other pasta...

For an ominous unknown killer, our old friend Jeff sure has a habit of making himself known. In what is UCA's 200th episode in the grand scheme of things, David, Kaela, Allen, Seid and Abysmii are offered yet another attempt at spinning a Jeff story to make it more compelling. Will it succeed where others have failed?

Closing out their performance at Midsummer Scream, the Creative Horror gang reads a couple of stories blind, one of which would go on to be a proper episode you no doubt heard.
For the Part 1 of this panel, listen to Midnight Marinara here.
Performed July 28th, 2018 at the Long Beach Convention Center, featuring David King, Kaela Berry, Allen Chaney, Jesse "Seid," Reyes, Abysmii, Papreeka and Matt Holley. Video recording by Lisa Tom. Special thanks to Zack Sokol and Ben Dickow.
The nefarious cult that is Creative Horror congregates around Archdeacon Abysmii, as they judge the worthiness of several submitted tales of rites and rituals. Herein are contained honorable mentions, as well as readings of the Top 3 Submissions.
It's back to a classic segment as David, Abysmii and Papreeka study a duo of short, unrelated stories submitted by Patrons. One is the beginning of a potential collection, while the other is a well-established piece of NoSleep fiction.
"Patient One" is by Colin, aka Iroko Alien. "Radio Silence" is credited to bencbartlett.
Sickness has claimed both David and Allen... except they're not dead. Mainly it's claimed their energy, but they strive to climb the next set of mysterious stairs as they keep working their way through the weird stories of a search and rescue officer.

David and Matt are stuck in NoSleep this week, but are sent a Patron's Poison to ease things along. With a promising premise right from the outset and storytelling style that seems to work with the NoSleep mold, will this story come out of the bathroom smelling fresh as a daisy, or is it better to flush it away?

Our 13th episode in the new run (and 195th episode overall) features the Creative Horror Crew all together in the aftermath of Midsummer Scream, reading a story they started to cover at the Midnight Marinara panel the day before! David, Kaela, Allen, Seid, Abysmii, Papreeka and Matt Holley (with special guest appearances by Gracey) wonder: is this verbose tale of a creepy cookbook worth the effort to finish?
"The Book of the Ravenous" is credited to William Buckley. Read along here.
If it exists, then there's probably Creepypasta of it: such is the case for Allen and his Monday Night crew as he brings them on to see if there's any good stories that are based around professional wrestling. Will they succeed, or are they just trying to distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table?
"Weird WWE Event" is credited to LOLSKELETONS. "WWF: Cancelled In Your House PPV" is credited to JimmyTheKeybladeWielder.
Sometimes you just have to start a saga and you don't have a ton of time to do it. In this shorter episode, David and Allen start their next multipart analysis of these NoSleep stories, accounts of a SAR officer's weird experiences in an undisclosed woodland.

Summer is here, and David is melting. Lucky for him, Abysmii is also on hand to help scoop up this macabre memorandum set during World War II in the depths of a dark forest. Will the story be the morale boost the duo need, or is this epistolary story a Dear John letter?
"The Call of the Revenant" is credited to Isaac Boissonneau, aka Hopefullygoodgramar. Read along here.
David and Allen take a trip to the City of Angels for this story of a student film shoot gone wrong. Meanwhile, David contemplates the ultimate question by Allen even as they attempt to tackle the narrative and some ensuing technical issues.

In honor of Pride Month, Kaela gathers the other LGBTQ members of Creative Horror to read a "gay Creepypasta." Will it meet their expectations of being both creepy AND gay? Can a story be both of those things successfully?
"Rediscovering the Newness of Sex" is credited to Max Lobdell. Read along here.
Picking up where they left off, David and Slimebeast cover more amusing and confusing anecdote from the mysterious Madman's writings, and finally reach a verdict on their feelings about the story. But did they follow the instructions to the letter?

David's got a new subscription to a very strange guidebook, and luckily Slimebeast is here to help get the instructions clear on how to make contact with the supernatural. Will the Madman's work be a helpful read, or will it leave its readers scratching their heads?
