Amazing clever Korean horror webcomic

Use the ole "page down" for maximum effectiveness.

Found via Scott McCloud's (of "Understanding Comics" fame) blog.


Split off from the great creepy images thread for maximum exposure.

This is not another screamer, is it?

edit: nm, it is :/

 

[Le-mo]

I thought that thing was going to pop out of the screen and kill me. My heart literally stopped for a few seconds.

 

[survivor]

In case someone doesn't want to click it but find out what it's about

Spoiler

Basically, it's a girl walking at night when a bloody guy follows her. As you scroll down the comic, the bloody guy's face will jump at you.

 

[Byakuya769]

That was pretty good.

 

[AbsoluteZero]

It's a screamer or sorts, so fair warning. But it's so well done and unexpected that it's worth a go-through once. Make sure your speakers are on, but not to deafening levels.

 

[Stealth Editor]

So it's another screamer basically? Being startled is not the same as being scared

 

[Roi]

fffuuu

 

[meltingparappa]

This is not another screamer, is it?

edit: nm, it is :/

I'd argue its a little more clever than an ear-deafening sound on a youtube video, just because

Spoiler

it uses javascript in a pretty interesting way

. Your mileage and cynicism may vary.

 

[Dude Abides]

Nope.

 

[crazy monkey]

un not scary may be for kid

 

[Metroid Killer]

It's not really a screamer...

 

[cajunator]

Not quite. How did they make it do that? that's kind of cool.

 

[Metroid Killer]

Btw the other comics on that site are really awesome. I wish I understood korean, but I can still appreciate the art and scale though.

Awesome art!

Succubus?

 

[meltingparappa]

Awesome art!

The artist is brilliant. Even if the art style isn't quite everyone's thing, I love the use of image scale in this one.

This really is Scott McCloud's manifesto on design taking advance of its medium, actually being fulfilled instead of being a series of jpgs that are meant to match the size of standard comic pages.

Wish I could read Korean to navigate the site though.

 

[freenudemacusers]

luckily I can't read any of it so I just closed the window.

 

[lethial]

Lost interest after 3 panels.

 

[theinfinityissue]

This got me earlier today, the first time I've actually physically recoiled in horror from my monitor in years. It gave me a really nasty feeling all along my spine. Awesome.

Tragically, if you're expecting how bad it is, there's no way you're going to get the whole effect.

 

[MedIC86]

lol, it kinda bugged with my 20 scroll lines xD

 

[DemiMatt]

man this got my heart going.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

I can't read Korean.

 

[meltingparappa]

lol, it kinda bugged with my 20 scroll lines xD

Ha!

Through randomized testing and giggles in the workplace, the effectiveness of the page is highly dependent on your browser and method of scrolling through a given webpage.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

Wait how do I navigate the site?

 

[Uno Venova]

I grabbed my chair arm in fright :lol.

That's good stuff.

 

[Jme]

Neat browser trick. Good work for a startle.

 

[zomaha]

It...won't....SDJLGJD:SALG:SDLGKSJDGKSLKGJ:SDGJSDGJKHFAFKAHF

 

[Nemo]

Man FU- I thought it was one of those but thought maybe it was just a comic after seeing the long scrolling bar

Speaker on max made it uncool

 

[meltingparappa]

Speaker on max made it uncool

The debate on whether or not this is technically a "screamer" highly depends on the volume of what you had been previously been listening to.

And whether or not you're willing to adjust it after the first noise.

 

[bigmakattack]

A friend linked me to this last night. Shocked me as you don't really expect that to happen while browsing a page.

 

[Warrior_Keoni]

Yeah, I sent this to a friend of mine asking him to translate it before I got a chance to view it. Poor guy spilled water everywhere.

 

[Desmond]

Christ on a bike! That got me

 

[wenis]

The debate on whether or not this is technically a "screamer" highly depends on the volume of what you had been previously been listening to.

And whether or not you're willing to adjust it after the first noise.

It has nothing to do with the volume. Anything that involves a maximum up front shot of some creepy thing with a scream track laid over it is a screamer.

Screamers are boring and I'd take a good creepy pasta over it any day.

 

[blame space]

what the hell am i supposed to click on

 

[Backfoggen]

More like "This will surprise you in the middle of the day".

 

[mantidor]

So it's another screamer basically? Being startled is not the same as being scared

yeah this pretty much, I hate screamers, I've catch myself jumping even at mild explosions from a light bulb breaking. And even not taking that into account, It's a pretty cheap and lazy trick at the end of the day.

 

[Granger Danger]

Jesus Christ, I had several heart attacks.

 

[ElPolloPeligro]

Saw this last night at 4am, without any clue as to what it was, LOUD speakers, and a very large monitor. It's the first thing that actually scared me enough to keep me from sleeping soundly since I was a kid.

 

[Persona7]

Lame attempt.

 

[Dizzy]

lol, I started peddling the scroll wheel as soon as it started to move. Made me jump.

 

[Moundir&Tony>you]

Is it wrong that it made me laugh ? I really wasn't expecting that , but the sound effects made it really funny to me .

 

[Orcastar]

That was pretty cool.

Spoiler

Was startled a bit by the first moving panel and thought that was it. Way to lure you into a false sense of security.

 

[freenudemacusers]

what the hell am i supposed to click on

scroll down

 

[Steelrain]

Thread title is false.

 

[Sword Familiar]

Awesome. Guess I need to learn hangul.

 

[meltingparappa]

Thread title is false.

Yeah sorry, skews too heavily to eastern standard time at the moment.

Calling it "comic demonstrates creative use of javascript" would give it away, and to say "startle" or "surprise" possibly implies its another godforsaken thread about kittens in a microwave.

 

[blame space]

scroll down

oh. haha.

that was pretty good

 

[Neoriceisgood]

I like how they did this.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Interesting trick

 

[Fantasmo]

Nothing happened?

 

[meltingparappa]

Nothing happened?

Apparently varies depending on what browser you use, or if you have javascript disabled. Scrolling to the top, reloading, then scrolling down using "page down" gives the best results.
