Fun fact: In the very early days of the internet, around the Windows 95/98 era, rotten.com was originally named thecreepingeyemorgue.com
Yes I’m that old LOL! I only know this because my friend’s dad was a cop, and when he’d be at work, we’d browse through his internet search history. Turns out friend’s dad was a bit of a psychopath…
Reminds me of a time when shock and horror websites were still marginally more disturbing than regular news.
Nice site, just wish I saw it when I was much older instead. I wasn’t ready to learn visually what happens when you jump under a running helicopter when I was 12. Also the snake that ate an adult man made sure to make it’s return in my nightmares many times.
Ahh, good times. Thanks to rotten, i don’t get fazed anymore.
There was one great thing about Rotten.com and that wad the Rotten Library, which was a treasure trove of suppressed information. A lot of people first found out about MKULTRA there.

yes… seeing things as a kid that one shouldn’t have.
The meth’d out biker couple that killed the woman’s husband and then had sex on his dismembered corpse and the dude who used a heater to heat his bathwater, died, and was cooked to the bone, just an evaporated goo scum at the bottom stick with me. Were the Jack the Ripper crime scene photos legit? It was possible, never sure if those were fakes but damn, they were something.
It was cruel and horrifying. I saw stuff there as a kid no one should have to see. The worst parts of humanity.
Used to go to Bestgore as well but the admin turned out to be a literal nazi
This is the first website I ever saw. My brother is an asshole.

Before that we watched Faces of Death videotapes. I don’t know what it is about that morbid curiosity in your later teens… Grew out of ot though. I just couldn’t stomach it. Barely ever checked out rotten.com.
I always liked the picture of the body in the morgue bent over with its own head up its ass, even though it was fake as fuck. Great reaction pic for telling someone to pull their head out of their ass.
