Happy Halloween Poptropicans! Slip here.
What a spooky time to do a creepy post, eh? Today, we’ll be reviewing some of the scariest moments in Poptropica! I might as well tell everyone to beware of nightmares and trauma. Read on, if you dare…
Chupacabra
Let’s start with the cryptidsโspecifically, the Chupacabra. A creature that is said to look like a coyote-wolf hybrid that has green glowing eyes, sharp quills on its back and leaves a drain on the victim with a fang-like mark. Who wouldn’t be scared of this guy? Did it made you jump? Let’s check the fear meter!
Jersey Devil
Ah, of course. Who wouldn’t forget the time when the Jersey Devil, also a cryptid, was peeking at the window looking at your player? You wouldn’t forget that time, right?
That’s the winged creature that looks like a half-horse and half-goat. That face is a face that we all remember when playing Cryptids Island. Let’s check the fear meter!
Zomberries
It’s the zomberries of Eastmanโthese guys give me the creeps. Well, they became zombies from a substance mixed with blueberries, don’t eat brains, and are scared of lights. These guys are really crazy; lurking in dim places and chasing you every time you meet them. Let’s check out the fear meter!
Count Bram’s obsession
Oh, Count Bram. He still hasn’t mastered the art of letting goโ perhaps what he needs is a consultation from the doctor? It’s sad to lose a loved one, but he reached a ridiculous level of insanity when he turned our player into a vampire and bit Christopher along the way. He did show a soft side at the end, though, and was reunited with his love, Annabelle. โค
Giant Eel/Leviathan
This Leviathan is one of the scariest prehistoric creatures I have ever seen on Poptropica. Before you meet this creature, the lights go outโsetting a great mood for a jumpscareโthen it peeps through holes on the wall, shows itself โ and tries to eat you! The giant eel left fear on me and I never came back… after two tries. Oh fear meter on the wall, is the eel the scariest of them all?
Fiona’s voice
One of the creepiest things in the history of Poptropica is this scene from Ghost Story island. Before SUIs (sound-updated islands), sound was pretty rare โ making Fiona’s voice all the more spooky when it was heard.
What actually made it scary is that I thought that someone was behind me! I was shocked to know that the voice was from Poptropica. RIP headphone users.
Another bonus point is that the person responsible for Fiona’s voice was Creatorย Dr. Langeย โ amazing! What does the fear meter tell us?
Myron van Buren
You might not have seen this coming, or maybe you did; I don’t know. Well, this list is not complete if it doesn’t include Poptropica’s most despicable villain โ Survival Island’sย Myron Van Buren! His face his creepy, his butler is also creepy and his motives are frightening.
“Mister van Buren sat on his tuffet, eating his steak away,
Along came a player, who asked for some supper,
and he invited him right away.”
What does the fear meter have to say?
The Puppet Man
For the last scariest moment on Poptropica, it would go to Monster Carnival Island’s Puppet Man. At one point, we have to enter the Haunted Lab at night when everyone’s been turned into monsters. If you go in without a flashlight, you can come across this eerie fellow lurking in the shadows of the Haunted Lab โ carnie by day; scarer by night. What does the fear meter have to say about this one?
…and that wraps our special Halloween post! Which of these moments scared you the most?ย Let us know in the comments if you agree with these ratings, or if you have another moment to add to the list!
Happy Halloween, Poptropicans!
-from the PHB.ย ๐
Some of the PHBย authors have been speculating on this new island for quite a whileย now, and it seems we may be correct about some stuff. For one,ย we’ve been speculating about getting framed by a doppelgรคnger.ย We’ll have to wait and see some more official details, but the Creators gave us a few little hints on the plot in an island synopsis. The official island synopsis reads:
