If i take a creepypasta quiz i bet my cheetodoritos i will get slenderman.

i expected to  be  faceless tentacle guy. LEMME DO THAT AGAIN!

yep. i got slenderman. Please don't mention them. This may sound childish I'm scared of them. Ok. But they are just like my stories. Not real. And they never will be. I was once scared of them too. I had so many nightmares. I faced my fear. I knew i was not alone in this. Other people were scared, So i faced it. They arent real. Just a figment of imagination. The only time they got to me was in my world of fantasy. They would always lurk in the corners. And i was scared. But now they cant hurt me. I got to read them. I enjoyed it. Now they walk peacefully. Not in my corners of my fears (Tattletail, Evil dolls, AND fnaf? WOW.) But in my vast stretched meadow of joy. You're braver then i am. You can face this fear too. I used to have nightmares of FNaF, I faced that. Animatronics in general *yup... Animatronics used to be my weakpoint* I faced. I faced most of my fears. You can definetally do this too. I knew if i didn't they would haunt me forever. But i faced them. So can you. And if you need help i will be there every step of the way to help. Unfortunately it isn't always as easy as that. The strongest fears are nearly impossible to face and even though we are all very aware they don't exist it's difficult to convince our brains not to make up shadows on the wall turning into something else. I'm fearful of the dark, 1 AM, 4 AM, the basement, spiders,  and silence in the house at night, and I will most likely always be scared of them- urban legends and horror games being the very reason. It's not a piece of cake to "face my fears" by getting out of bed at 1 AM (worse yet, 4 AM), walking slowly out of my room, through the hallway, down the stairs,  down more stairs into the basement, crawling into the big hole towards the ceiling, ignoring the giant, ugly spiders scuttling past, and screaming "I'm not afraid!"

I'd say those games haunting you forever is a stretch, as you'd probably be less scared once you grow up. My primary fears, though built around things that don't exist, are very real and will never go away.

There's also the Babadook to worry about.
