Sending Your Story
-Send your story to midnightmarinara@gmail.com
-All stories must have titles
-Send preferably as a .doc or .pdf, but can be put in the body of the email
-Please only add your name in the subject area of the email. Do not put your name anywhere in the story, whether it is in an attachment or in the body of an email.
Writing Rules/Guidelines
-It has to be set in the parks. It can be about a ride or experience, or it could just take place within the context of the parks. It should have its main incident within a Disney park or resort property.
-Avoid writing only about Marvel, Fox, or Star Wars (The idea behind a Disney Creepypasta is the juxtaposition between a corporation, normally seen as “magical” and “innocent”, and unexpected terror. Focusing on the above franchises alone defeats the purpose).
-Can be as realistic or as supernatural as you like
-We’re looking for engaging stories, that capture that creepiness factor about Disney that people often forget. The story should easily interweave the family-friendly reputation of Disney with horror
-Judging criteria might favor stories that have a sense of grounding and detail, but that's based on understanding the setting and tone.
Kaela convinces David that it’s time to read another mediocre Disney-themed Creepypasta -and from deviantArt, no less - but this time seems to have some sort of agenda. What could she be up to?
“The Costume” is credited to Soulful-Sorrow. Read along here.
Another banterclass episode wherein David, Allen and Mike talk about a bunch of stuff, eventually read the story, and then talk about more stuff. This might not be the one for you if you want a simple straight read, but for those who like hearing asinine conversation, this is the one for you.
"Boothworld Industries" as a whole is credited to Christopher Bloodworth. Read along here.
David’s never really been a cat person but is alright being cat-adjacent, while Kaela had a cat growing up and likes them pretty well. That’s important because this episode, guests Eli and Kylie from Animal Fact Files are bringing some feline frights to peruse. Will these two tales make the groups whiskers stand on end, or are these cats better left in the bag?
"Feline Shadows" is credited to Dengrath. Read along here.
"Found Cat" is credited to Needle553312. Read along here.
This episode is nuts.
“My buddy Ed had himself three balls. He got one removed, but I think it was maybe the wrong one” is credited to nslewis.
The meaning of life, the universe, and everything has nothing to do with this episode, but it is fitting that David meets with AJ, Gwen and Nate from Random Encounters 41 episodes later, somehow. This week brings a horror story of neglect, apathy and possible murder all buried in a gross detritus of human garbage.
“Meek” is credited to Mystreve. Read along here.
David and Prasokour don their protective gear and trudge into a Nosleep story without a NoSleep title, which is already a good sign. Will this anomalous arachnid account manage to snare the hosts in its narrative web, or will it be a the prose equivilant of a can of bug spray?
“The Forest of A Thousand Legs” is credited to Lovezinski. Read along here.
It didn’t start out as a Short and Shivery, but David, Kaela, Allen and Abysmii found the first story offered a little too short (but at least a little shivery) and decided to, at last minute, tack on another one. What follows is a pair of stories with very different tones and very different reactions from the panel of readers.
“The Gun Game” was initially uploaded to the Creepypasta Wiki by RetardoTheMagnificent. Read along here.
”BooTube” is credited to Tbok1992. Read along here.
Lord Bung’s Confinement series provides ample fodder for yet another trip to the SCP Foundation, as David, Kaela and Allen read up on the entries used as inspiration. How does the webseries hold up in terms of adapting the spirit of its source material, and which SCPs will be utilized?

Joined by Seid and Raevell of The Witching Hour, David offers a story from his early scourings of the internet for a “potential Midnight Marinara” list. Will this tale of a town under an ancient curse stand a ghost of a chance?
“Mary” is credited to The Fox God. Read along here.
Technically this is the third time this “icon” story has popped up in David’s life, but it’s finally the one that gets pinned down and recorded for posterity, with a little help from Mike MacDee. Does Toby Rogers suffer from the same terrible cliches as his fellow Creepypasta brethren?
“Ticci Toby” is credited to Kastoway. Read along here.
It’s the further adventures of Dr. Apathy, now adding detective to the list of things he’d done in this asinine trip into the troubled dreams caused by Ubloo. David, Kaela, Abysmii and Papreeka only now realize how long a haul this saga might be…
“Ubloo” is credited to DifferentWind. Read along here.
Ever wonder what a silent podcast would be like? Wait, nevermind... Here's David, Kaela and Ben Spiegel talking about a spooky silent film story, featuring an in-story cameo by Allen's ancestor, Lon Chaney.

Plenty of searching, not a lot of rescuing. Allen and David shotgun the last three parts of this story in one sitting, and are surprised when something genuinely unexpected happens.
"Search and Rescue Woods" is credited to searchandrescuewoods. Read along here.
It's a podcast within a podcast as the semi-retired crew of Coffee and Pie have invaded UCA. Join host Allen and his co-hosts Sean, Brad, De'Markcus and guest Vivian as they read a story that takes...one hell of a turn.
(Skip to 7:13 to avoid eating noises)

The wretched minions of Creative Horror extend some horrible holiday wishes this season. Featuring Seid and Raevell from The Witching Hour, the Pasta Shade of Midnight Marinara, Abysmii and Papreeka from Raygun Readers/Trick or Track, and our own David and Kaela for UCA.
Allen’s Eggnog.
More than halfway through the whole thing now, yet David and Allen struggle to muster any sort of enthusiasm as their dismal meandering through the endless expanse of this story continues. Will this part have any sort of unexpected surprises?
(Skip ahead to 3:18 if you want to avoid the sound of the hosts chomping food directly into microphones - their level of caring has hit an all-time low.)
"Search and Rescue Woods" is credited to searchandrescuewoods. Read along here.
A harrowing disaster means David and guests Beth Morton and Skill Flea are forced to recover from a lost recording by reading a haunted doll story, pulled at random from the depths of the Creepypasta Wiki. Will this make up for that time?
“The Doll Named Lil’ Nancy” is credited to ELGB333. Read along here.
Skill Flea’s Scare My Friends Writing Challenge ends December 23rd.
