>>37643451>>37645521Yeah, mix of both of these. Walked into it as a kid and the opening notes of the music starting up scared me so much I ran right out to the bottom route. The beginning of lavender town's music is very unnerving and starkly contrasted to all the other music in the game til then, it sounds threatening and wrong.
>>37643470Nothing to do with creepypastas, the vast majority of the kids who played and got creeped out by the atmosphere the music makes only saw stuff about it on the Internet later. The creepypastas exist because kids got scared, not the other way round.
