Give us a nice rating. It really does help us out. Now, without further ado, today we are reading... The Spire in the Woods. Now, Isaiah, can you give us a nice backstory as to why no one's touched this story?
Yeah, so The Spire in the Woods, also known as The Bells, is a story that was written by Tony Lundy around 2013, 2014, I believe. And everyone really liked this story. I don't think I ever read it, but I remember people talking this thing up as being like one of the greats. As a matter of fact, it got so much traction that the story got optioned for a film, I believe, that Steven Spielberg was set to produce.
Steven fucking Spielberg is producing it.
Yeah. It was going to be a huge deal. But when the story got optioned, because of that, the story became the copyright of the studio. So anyone who... had ever covered this story got nuked into orbit. Like all the creepypasta readings of it got taken down. All of the reposting or audio versions of the story got taken down. The story itself got removed from r slash no sleep and creepypasta.com.
r slash nosleep, also the physical copy that was on Amazon has been removed, and the only listing that I see of the Amazon book is on eBay for $250 fucking dollars. If you have a physical copy of this, you're sitting on gold, my friends, okay?
Yeah, it is like lost media territory of like treasured relics, right? Because it was a very beloved story that now you cannot buy, you cannot read anywhere because of the way optioning works. Now, it was to be made into a movie, and to my knowledge, it's still in kind of like production hell or purgatory, so to speak, right? Of like, we don't know where it's going. Now, typically, this is where me and Hunter's martyrdom comes into play. Yes. Typically... with these optionings, the way it works is whenever the story goes up for option, there is an amount of time where like a company buys it and then they remove like other people who are, it's so dumb, but they remove other people talking about the story, other editions of the story, because that's what happened.
That's what happened to my cartoon wabbit season, literally wabbit season got nuked into oblivion. I found this out later was because one, They did a deep purge of everything with Wabbit bugs and everything whenever HBO Max came out because they were putting that Looney Tunes property up on it and they were wiping everything as off of the Internet of it for an incentive for people to sign up for Max to watch Looney Tunes. In 2020, as if as if we're, you know, we're children in 1965 wanting to watch Looney Tunes. So there's that.
That is so absurd. It's ridiculous. It's very stupid. Now, here's the thing. You can currently right now still upload stuff related to Wabbit or Rabbit, right? Because that period's done.
Yeah, the heat around that time is done.
The heat around it's done. So even though everyone who's talked about Spire in the Woods has been launched into orbit, Hunter and I think that it has been long enough that this story can now get posted without us immediately getting shot in the back of the head. This is going to get deleted so quick. So fast. It's going to get deleted. But here's the thing.
