Theory: the fog machine in room two was drugging people, which is why all the rooms after that were bad.

I had imagined that before the story picked up from the girlfriend's perspective, that the fog machine fog was laced with a hallucinogen, and $500 was paid to whom ever kept their shit together long enough to leave without assistance, and the 10 on his door when he got home was his house number and just the coincidence fueled his laughing fit.

"And I laughed as I saw..... the small 10... etched into the wood." No written line in any story will give me more goosebumps than that.

Probably the 100th time I've heard "Peter Terry was addicted to heroin"

$500 in this economy will get you a coffee and maybe a croissant

David: Finally, I'm back at my apartment, the house is behind me now!
opens door
HOW'S IT HANGIN'? I'M DAVID PUMPKINS, AND I'M HERE TO SCARE THE HELL OUT OF YOU!

I'm listening to this in 2017 and when he said the part about room 8 and he said "David- and I was like DAVID FUCKING KING

"Peter Terry was addicted to heroin"

Off to a good start...

Forgot that was how my favorite Creepypasta series started...huh...

I first read this creepypasta probably ten years ago, when I was still in high school. There’s something so comforting about coming back to it, I can pretend I’m at my mommas house again, and that she’s still here with me. Thank you for keeping this up, it’s a wonderful time capsule.

My biggest fear in this video... was when waiting until the video to load and see what was about to come next... two ads... two fkn yellow ads waiting to strike.

So, I've got this theory.

Door one- mockery. David Laughs at how pathetic the decorations are.
Door two - doubt. David does not expect anything bad to happen.
Door three - realization. David knows now that what he's dealing with is serious.
Door four - fear. David fears what is to come.
Door five - panic. David is freaking out.
Door six - regret. David knows now that he should not have done what he did.
Door seven - denial. Life goes on as normal for a short time, as David thinks everything is fine. Door seven also represents dread.
Door eight - guilt, followed by a loss of moral value. David feels guilty at first, but then doesn't care.
Door nine - depression, loneliness. After the horror he experienced, David feels the worst when he is alone.
Door ten - Hiding negative with positive. David tries to keep himself intact by convincing himself that he is happy.

Ok, so to me, this sounds kind of like the stages of having a breakup or falling out with someone. At first you think it's nothing serious, followed by realization that it is. Then you fear for what you have, and panic. After a while you regret what you did and feel guilty. Then, you stop caring. When all is said and done, you're left with an empty feeling inside you. And after some more time, you may or may not try to smile even though you aren't happy.

Maybe it's a stretch. I don't know. By the way I wrote this on the original story by Brian Russel, I didn't have time to listen to the whole video so if I left something out that's why. Thanks for reading, if you have any comments I'd love to hear them and discuss.

as soon as got out of room nine and said he was out I started laughing and said "no you're not"

I really like the longer ones it helps me sleep at night

It would be amazing if someone turns this creepypasta into a video game.

All that for a months worth of groceries

Major Stephen King “Room 1408” vibes, this must be at least partially inspired by it

did anyone else hate the bug part as much as i did simply because of the buzzing

Anybody else excited about the syfy adaptation of this next year?

I first heard this story when I was 11 years old safe to say it scared the shit outta me. Now I’m 18 still hits me the same.

This sounds like a creepypasta version of "Spooky's house of jumpscares"
