Howdy, I go by Creepy and I'm the Host of That Creepy Reading! Your one stop shop for anything disturbing!
ThatCreepyReading
, or Tinker, is a YouTuber who got his start making Creepypasta readings but later moved on to countdown videos on more varied topics (though still leaning into the darker side of things). His most famous readings are of the stories 1999: Creepypasta and Abandoned by Disney.
Apart from creating things for his own channel, he is a collaborator on Tats Tops Videos; In addition to working as a script writer for them, he has also narrated some of their videos such as "Top 35 Strangest Fish", "Top 110 Violent & Gory Games" and "Top 22 Gaming Creepypastas", as well as introducing podcasts onto the team.
He used to have another account called "That Brony Show which specialized in topics and rants about My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. No longer available.
That Creepy Reading provides examples of:
- Amusement Park of Doom: "14 of the WORST Theme Park Attractions From Around THE WORLD" takes a look at 14 cases of this in Real Life.
- Berserk Button: Do not Speak Ill of the Dead in Real Life and let him find out about it. He went on a mini-rant in his "12 of the Worst YouTubers" video when one YouTubernote made fun of a recently murdered singer's fans for mourning her.
- Broken Pedestal:
- He used to have Shane Dawson as a personal favorite YouTuber in one of his videos. When discussing his crimes in "Top 5 Even WORSE YouTubers That NEED TO STOP" he brings it up as an understandable case of Old Shame.
- He used to hold Chris Hansen in high regard but no longer does due to Hansen abusing the the YouTube copyright system against people, failing to deliver Kickstarter rewards, and his methodology giving the people he catches an opportunity to use an entrapment defense.
- He similarly has lost his high standards for Butch Hartman given his controversial religious beliefs.
- Cerebus Rollercoaster: His main channel’s topics usually go back and forth between light hearted and dark and disturbing.
- Creepy Doll: Has a countdown dedicated to supposedly haunted dolls.
- Deadpan Snarker: Naturally, he puts a lot of humor in his narration.
- Faux Affably Evil: Discussed when talking about the Zooier than Thou podcast, where he points out how chill and upbeat they are while discussing the things they’ve done to their pets and the things they advocate for (both of which are far too
squicky to go into any detail about). - Genre Shift: His content evolved from horror narration to countdown videos (though the subjects of the videos are often less than pleasant) in late 2016.
- Horror Host: Compared to other horror hosts of his type on youtube, he takes a bite or two of Elvira's snarkiness, making his videos much more entertaining and funny as a result. Being both easy going, and suitably horrifying when the situation calls for it.
- Karma Houdini: A common occurrence in his "YouTubers Who NEED TO STOP" list is the subjects discussed getting away with their crimes for various reasons ranging from cybercrimes not being taken as a seriously as they need to, technicalities (Cosmodore got away with dating a minor because of the age of consent in Germany being 14, Kero the Wolf's actions were either not technically illegal or the statute of limitations expired), or mishandling of evidence (Chris Hanson found a laptop containing incriminating evidence against Onision but his actions resulted in it no longer being possible to prove it wasn't tampered with).
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In his second "YouTubers Who NEED TO STOP" video he criticizes Chris Hansen for this after it came out that mishandling of evidence against Onision rendered it unusable in investigations against him and potentially giving the predators he catches an entrapment defense.
- No OSHA Compliance: Several cases in "14 of the WORST Theme Park Attractions From Around THE WORLD" were due to parks skimping on safety regulations.
- Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: Creepy, a horror narrator, found the actions of the people running the pro-zoophilia podcast, Zooier than Thou, too repulsive to continue research on them.
