Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Thank you.
Welcome back to Creepcast! We are going to be doing something I don't think we've ever done this before. We're going back, so we've read things before, we're like, that was fun, and usually we don't go into the sequels or anything. This is the first time I think we've gone back into a series.
I know people have wanted us to go back into the Tales from the Gas Station series, people want us to finish the... The thing in my basement, whatever, and all that stuff. But this was one that we were pretty excited, and we've been talking to the author, Gabby, and she even gave us a little exclusive to sweeten the pot.
Yeah, so if you'll remember a while back, we read a story called... Let me get it right... Every month a parade would pass through my hometown, but we were never allowed to look at it. We read that story, and it was pretty awesome. It was about a group of kids who there's a parade that passes through town, and the parents tell all the kids they can't go outside, so then a group of them sneak out.
We never see what it is, but it seems to be a sort of sacrifice saying that The kid's inducted into, it's like this small town has to appease some ancient deity. Very cool. We also read two other stories from her in that same episode. One of which is the most upvoted story on No Sleep.

Chapter 2: Why are the boys excited to revisit the Point Pine series?
My sugar daddy asked me for weird favors. And she wrote the story about the guy who follows me everywhere. About the guy that turns around and just counts down. And we read another one of her stories about If You See Me, Please Kill Me. About the girl who had the boyfriend who slowly became her. More recent recording, yeah. Yes, and more recent recording.
Everything we've read from Gabby's been awesome. And everyone who has read the rest of her stuff has been like, guys, you liked the first part of the Point Pine series? The one about the parade? You have to read the rest of it. That's what we're going to do.
The reason that we're even diving back into this, too, is that the Patreon was, they were like, you should read the rest of it.
Yeah, we had a poll on Patreon what series you wanted to see while we were recording and person and overwhelmingly Point Pine won everyone wanted to see the rest of Point Pine so we reached out to Gabby and Gabby sent us you know the whole series said we could read it and she gave us another Point Pine entry she's never posted called the history of Point Pine so I'm pretty excited.
Well, the first one we're reading today is every 13th of the month, a new apartment appears in my building. Guys, if you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, please give us a nice rating there or consider listening there. It does help us out.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of the Point Pine Oaks building?
Looked around. Seemed pretty normal. Again, all the apartments seemed normal. It's things that live inside that aren't normal.
Hey guys, come out here.
Gwen called into the apartment.
Would you like some water? Oh, no thanks.
I turned at the sound of footsteps to see two kids and another woman walk out into the kitchen.
This is my wife, Laura, and our kids, Kimberly and Christopher.
Nice to meet you. Laura stuck her hand out and I shook it. Again, it was normal. I'm Eric, the owner of the building.
Nice to meet you.
There's a brief moment of awkward silence. So, uh, do you have any questions? Kids took off as I stood there with Gwen and Laura.

Chapter 4: How do the characters perceive the new residents in Point Pine?
The potential to have a street teleported to dinosaur land. How are they going to play? You know the problem with Lee Cronin's The Mummy? I mean, there's a lot of problems. But a problem was it did not know what it was. It was far too serious for the campiness of the story and stuff like that.
Yeah, I think that it was trying to do like a Evil Dead 2 black comedy thing. But the thing with Evil Dead 2 is that it's like slapstick humor with Ash. No, it should have been black comedy, but it wasn't. No, that's what I'm saying. I think that it should have been.
Yeah, yeah. Or like the original Mummy, the Brendan Fraser one. That movie knew what it was. I would say that's like a...
I would say that's like a horror comedy.
Yeah, exactly. But when it wants to be funny, it knows what it's doing.
The trailers, sorry to derail this, but the trailers to this were so bad. Heinous. I seriously believe The Passenger looks like one of the worst movies. It probably will be. Let me finish my thought.
Not of all time, but the year or whatever. The dinosaur one. There's no way that film takes itself too seriously. 100% it does. There's no way. 100%.
Because if they... If Jurassic Park doesn't take itself that seriously... If it was Anne Hathaway and Mark Wahlberg, I would agree. Okay, yeah. Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, they're playing that to be like, these are actors. Yeah. That kind of thing.
It's going to be this whole story about family, too.

Chapter 5: What unsettling events occur in Point Pine?
All ye who enter abandon hunger here.
Oh my god!
That is terrible. If I didn't see a Jeep Patriot drive through the front doors of that place. Yeah, just a bunch of homemade nail bombs.
Ah!
The owner's just like, stops him. There's a truck, there's a VBIT just coming over the hill 100 miles an hour. Propane tanks line in the truck.
Holy shit. All you who enter Abandoned Hunger here is so good.
All you who enter Abandoned Hunger is so unbelievable. Oh my god.
Jesus Christ.
Good fucking lord. Oh my god, kill us. Ugh. But no, it would be the other way around. Yeah, because it's abandon all hunger, ye who enter here. Yeah. Oh. That is 100%. Also, they would have the Saturn eating his son, but it would be a giant burger instead of a person.

Chapter 6: How do the characters react to the pumpkin monster?
There should be two of them, I think. I think there's two of them that Gabby recommended we don't read for this straight run through. But if you want to check them out, they're on that master list. So there's even more Point Pine. But, you know, obviously if the author says there's a better way to read the series, we're going to do that.
So our next story in order then is Point Pine's newest visitor came with a warning. Mary Lou Burningham took my sister Genevieve's tooth this morning. She was the one mentioned in the apartment who takes the baby teeth, right? Under the pillow. The child. She's a child. The tooth fairy. Oh, she's a child? Yeah. She's a kid. Because remember, there's only one man. Old Man Jones. Oh. Old Man.
Of course. Of course. I saw her leaving the house when I got up to make breakfast. I only saw the back of her head as she walked out of the front door. But I would recognize those bright red curls anywhere.
wasn't anything out of the ordinary at least not in point pine that's just what the collectors do collect stuff no one really knows why or what they do with it except for mary lou we've seen her wearing jewelry made from the teeth of the people of point pine she obviously doesn't wear all the teeth that'd be weird and so i've always wondered what she did with the rest of them
It'd be weird if she wore all the teeth. Some teeth are fine. Wearing a couple is fine. Wearing a couple, you know, let a girl have some fun.
I wonder if they just mean because there's so many that it'd be like, how would you even wear that? It'd be like just covering her. A giant long cape of teeth. That'd be pretty cool. See a little girl walking down the street that's like 20 feet of teeth.
Yeah. Last year when our... not i'm not gonna lie we probably need to cut this but it says last year when our hamster pennies died i straight up read that as penis that's your winner hamster named penis last year when our hamster pennies died curtis man came to take it from us he collects dead animals
Those are the only two collectors that I'm familiar with, but there's 12 total, and they all live at the Point Pine Oaks.
With the amount of close-ups, too, that Lee Cronin's the mummy, that'd be a gross movie. He would put the camera slightly above them like that. He'd put it so close to them, or it'd be somebody ordering up close. There'd be a little bit of blur, and in the background, you'd see someone just eating a burger. It'd be that. Anyways, go ahead.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the pumpkin monster's appearance?
Well, I don't know how much of this is narratively. That's true, yeah.
Why would I be all right? Scared at her, not really knowing how to answer. Haven't you heard about the visitor? I shook my head slowly and then glanced over to see if anyone was on their way with my pie yet. No offense to Mary Lou, but she had a tendency of making people feel uncomfortable. Mary Lou sighed again, then reached out and placed her hand on my arm.
She wore a ring with a tooth on it on each of her fingers. Try not to gag.
Be cautious with your eyes, Lee. I would hate for you to lose them again.
she said, staring at me intently with her huge green eyes. I watched as she walked away. The spot where her hand had rested on my arm felt noticeably colder than the rest of my body, and I rubbed my arm until the feeling went away. I finally got my pie and headed outside.
I looked down the road and saw the collectors were back in their two lines, walking in that weird way that they had been earlier. I watched them for a few seconds. Mary Lou turned around and we locked eyes. She brought both of her hands up to her face and covered her eyes before turning back around and continuing her walk.
I turned around and started walking back home, thinking about how Mary Lou was quite possibly the most unsettling 11-year-old that I had ever met. On the walk home, I overheard a few different conversations about the collectors. The people of Point Pine were starting to become irritated with them, convinced that they were playing some sort of prank on everyone.
When I got home, my mom was talking about them too. Can't you believe it?
They told Sandra's kid that he needed to keep an eye on his arms because he might lose them. I mean, who says that to an eight-year-old?

Chapter 8: What is the fate of Cassandra in Point Pine?
I tried my best to ignore it and went to bed at my usual time, tossing and turning for a few minutes before finally falling asleep. I awoke when I heard the front door creak open. I turned over in bed and looked at the clock, 7.55 AM. My heart sped up in my chest as I realized that the visitor was here.
I could hear the footsteps coming up the stairs and I turned so my back was facing my bedroom door and shut my eyes, trying to even my breathing. As the visitor got closer, I noticed that he was humming a very familiar tune. It took a few minutes before I realized that it was the same music that played whenever the Point Pine Parade started.
The visitor never stepped into my bedroom, but I heard him wandering around the rest of the house for what felt like hours. Finally, I heard him walk back out the door. I breathed a sigh of relief as I slowly turned back around to look at the clock. 8.08 AM. Five minutes until we could be up. I laid there, staring at the ceiling, waiting for the town alarm to ring.
Before it did, however, I heard a scream pierce through the morning silence. It sounded like it was coming from the house next door. A frozen bed, not wanting to take a look and risk seeing something that I shouldn't. Mary Lou's voice kept echoing in my mind as I laid there, waiting for the town alarms to go off. Be cautious with your eyes, Lee. I would hate for you to lose them again.
Finally, the town alarms went off and I climbed out of bed and made my way downstairs. The rest of my family, Cody, following me. I walked over to the living room window and pulled the curtains open a few inches to look outside. Most of the neighbors were now out there, crowding on the Humphreys lawn.
My dad opened the front door and Cody and I followed after him, making our way through the crowd of people to try to see what was going on. We pushed through until we got to the front of the crowd and finally managed to see what the big deal was.
On the front lawn was the entire Humphreys family, all four of them, laying on their backs and facing up towards the sky, their eyes darting around the crowd of people above them. Their noses and mouths were completely gone. Everything below their nose had vanished and was simply replaced with smooth skin. No nose, no nostrils, no lips, just eyes and smooth skin all the way down their faces.
Above their heads was a copy of the flyer that I had gotten last night, stuck in the grass by a rusty butcher knife. Only this flyer was a bit different. It was written on white paper in red font and it read, welcome the visitor at the top.
the rest of the flyer said as follows resonance of point pine tomorrow at 7 00 am you will have a visitor you have been chosen to interact with him congratulations he will use this time to wander around town at even your homes when you hear him get up and say hello it's an honor to be chosen He is here to see you and only you. Be happy. Be nice. And don't put up a fight. It won't be worth it.
