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…
It was cruel and horrifying. I saw stuff there as a kid no one should have to see. The worst parts of humanity.
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.
Used to go to Bestgore as well but the admin turned out to be a literal nazi
Ahh, good times. Thanks to rotten, i don’t get fazed anymore.
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.
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.

Archive?
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.
This is the first website I ever saw. My brother is an asshole.
What was it for?
Gruesome pictures of rotting bodies and accident photos stuff like that. It was a thing to be a kid and show other kids these sites until you all got grossed out then played outside or video games or what ever.
Yikes! I thought it’d be something gross. Like goatse.
It’s actually kind of hard to find the og goatse pic now. I have all 4 angle saved on my phone, I send them to spam numbers. They never text me again for some reason.
Seriously; can you DM them to me?
Sent the two I have on my phone. Maybe there are only 2, can’t remember now. Will see if I have the others later.
Wow. Good move. But keeping them on your phone… and I didn’t know there was more than one angle…
There was a whole set of 40 images called gap.zip
E: if you dig a bit you can find it on the internet archive.
The best part is, my text app allows 256 pics to send at once, I have 256 copies in that folder to attach. If they receive pics, they’re getting pounded with goatse.
They’re in a hidden folder that can’t be pulled up accidentally
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.

This was mindfucking bullshit that fucked up our minds.
