    Reminds me of a time when shock and horror websites were still marginally more disturbing than regular news.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Users probably just moved to Reddit /r/watchpeopledie instead, before they decided money was important and blocked all the questionable shit.

      It still lives at watchpeopledie.tv, presumably scarring a new generation of 12 year olds.

    It was cruel and horrifying. I saw stuff there as a kid no one should have to see. The worst parts of humanity.
