They both take on the superficial appearance of a pleasant, harmless TV program, but really have some nefarious purpose in mind. Nobody's face got eaten in this case, but... who's to say what's next?

== Candle Cove ''was'' a real show... ==

 

== Candle Cove isn't just dead static. ==

The last poster probably heard about it from a friend, but was a [[Cloudcuckoolander]], and watched dead static. Everyone else, i.e., kids who weren't [[Cloudcuckoolander|CloudCuckooLanders]], actually watched it.

* Alternatively, he made up the story about watching static, actually he's just a message board troll who loves messing with people's heads. The show was real and its supposed creepiness was just a combination of low production values, incompetence of its makers, and the imagination of the kids who watched it.

*** Or, there's a third theory. It wasn't dead static but it was a television show on a station that didn't come in very clearly. That conclusion wasn't reached by many younger people (most of those who know the creepypasta) since many young people grew up with cable and satellite, and thus only know something either coming in clear or not at all. Back in the day (boy, do I sound old), kids would often watch TV channels that only partially came in, which if you weren't watching it and just passing by (as we can safely assume the mother was, as she would have no reason to watch a children's show about pirates) looks like dead air and sounds like dead air or it was close enough that she just called it static. I can remember things that I taped as a kid that were very snowy chanels that only partway came in visually and audially that my parents thought of as just static, and when I played them back, sure enough, they were intact. The only mystery is how they knew the ship was red, but it could be that the kids (remember this aired in 71-72, not long out of the 60s, so there was still black and white TV) saw enough red on black and white that they were pretty sure that the Laughingstock was indeed red (notice that no other colors are explicitly named), or perhaps it came in clear enough at times that the snowy picture had some color to it from time to time. Kids are a lot more willing to watch TV stations that only partially come in than adults are.

**** Actually, the forum thread seems similar to a psychological phenomena I heard about, where one person comes up with a vaguely defined memory, another person invents details to add to that vague memory, which convinces the one who reads or hears about them that he/she has "remembered" those details from before and elaborates on them, which in turn prompts other people to "remember" those elaborations in so on. Notice how almost every reply on the thread after the first entry begins with something along the lines of "Oh, yeah I remember (repeats some detail brought up in a previous reply)..." followed by some addition. I think this could either be Confabulation, False Memory Syndrome, or some other phenomena that I've forgotten the name of (I'm not a psychologist after all) related to mass hysteria. In essence, you could say that there never was a Candle Cove and that all the memories the characters have are inventions of their collective conversation.

 

== The "last episode" was not actually the last episode ==

* On this note, [[Tethercat Principle|it's possible the later episodes were additional screaming and similar creepy things.]]

 

== The "last episode" made much more sense in context ==

 

== Candle Cove ''was'' a regular show. ==

 

== Candle Cove ran from the early 50's to the late 90's. ==

As shown in this archived 4chan thread (Remember, because this is 4chan Ads are definitely NSFW!)

 

== Candle Cove was in fact a real show. ==

 

== Candle Cove heralds the Arrival ==

* Do you need an orb repairman or something? I know one on the corner of 207th that could help.
