Cobb’s performance is totally inscrutable – remarkably so. In another, she marks her face with glow-in-the-dark paint so that she can blend into the constellation stickers on her bedroom ceiling. In one scene, she pauses a frenzied dance routine only so she can let out a few blood-curdling screams. An adult voice is heard only once, screaming at her for staying up until 3am.Īll Schoenbrun really allows us to see is the Casey that exists in front of her webcam, dutifully documenting her descent into madness, whether it’s real, unreal or potentially a demonic possession. We do know that she is isolated and scared – the minute she sees car lights shine on her house’s driveway, she runs upstairs to her room and locks the door, sitting frozen in silence while footsteps rumble outside. We don’t see her school life, her friends, or her family. She scrolls through videos of what supposedly happens next: the feeling of Tetris being played inside your body, your limbs turning into plastic. Radio Silence by bencbartlett CreepyPasta Storytime With Grax. We see Casey (Anna Cobb), a lonely teenage girl and confessed horror fan, work through the steps. Here, Schoenbrun builds a story around a fictional “World’s Fair” challenge, in which participants repeat a phrase three times, prick their fingers, and watch a short video full of flashing colours and ululating sounds. We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, the directorial debut of Jane Schoenbrun, is a film about creepypastas that also feels like it could be a creepypasta itself, unfurling with the same unhurried dread. It’s one part of a larger phenomenon known as the “ creepypasta” – a form of collective online storytelling that blurs the line between reality and fiction. It’s a horror story, first set out in a series of fake forum posts by illustrator and horror aficionado Kris Straub in 2009, and one that’s since been expanded upon by others across the internet. Their nemesis was called the Skin-Taker, who had a ragged cloak, glass eyes too big for his skull, and a hat made of… what was it again? The flesh of children? Wasn’t there also an episode where all the characters just screamed and screamed, nothing more?Ĭandle Cove never existed, of course. You may hear the sound of static, not unlike radio static in your mind. Surrounded by darkness and silence, you shouldn't be able to hear or see anything outside of your own head. It was about a little girl, who made imaginary friends with a band of pirates. Turn off every electrical appliance in your home at night, and get into bed. Have you ever heard of Candle Cove? Rummage through the internet for long enough and you’ll find people reminiscing about it, an old American children’s show from the Seventies.
