Jeff The Killer Appearance and Origins

According to the Creepypasta explanations Jeff’s fixed grin is due to scarring he inflicted upon himself, his eyes stare widely because he burnt off his own eyelids and his skin is lilly white as a result of having been horribly burnt by bullies with a combination of alcohol and bleach.

The ‘photograph’ that accompanies the many Jeff the Killer stories and which looks like a cross between Micheal Jackson and a demented dolphin,is widely known not only from the many derivative creepypastas using the character but die to its widespread use in screamer videos alongside Jeff’s famous catchphrase ‘Go to sleep’.

However, it seems that the details of exactly how Jeff The Killer ended up with his hideous appearance corresponding as they do to this image, were retrofitted, the rationales being written to match the image, rather than the other way around…

Основные черты характера

Внешний вид

До инцидента Джефф описывается как мальчик от 15 до 17 лет общего физического вида..

Однако после несчастного случая его внешность полностью изменилась, чтобы иметь чрезмерно белый цвет лица, порезанный нос, без губ (которые показывают зловещую улыбку), без цвета глаз или бледно-голубой, без век и с черными ожогами.

Что касается одежды, всегда надевайте темную толстовку, джинсы и черные кроссовки.

Поведение и личностные качества

Джефф превратился из тихого мальчика из пригородов в серийного убийцу, который предпочитает убивать своих жертв, пока они спят.

По некоторым данным CREEPYPASTA, Джефф предпочитает убивать чичилло мясника, хотя он также делает это, сжигая своих жертв хлором или бензином.

Кроме того, и в результате несчастного случая, психологическая трансформация была еще больше, так как она показывает признаки шизофрении, нарциссизма, садизма и других форм поведения психопатического характера.

Семейные отношения

В истории не так много упоминаний о семье Джеффа, за исключением некоторых существенных особенностей:

-Родственником часто называют старшего брата Джеффа, Лю. Есть несколько аспектов этого персонажа; в некоторых случаях они показывают его как другого убийцу, в то время как в других он прилагает усилия, чтобы спасти своего брата.

-Что касается родителей, у Джеффа напряженные отношения с его матерью Маргарет.

-Отец Джеффа, Питер Вудс, почти никогда не называют эту историю, поэтому ее актуальность минимальна.

Jeff Photos and Folklore

As with many creepypasta characters there seems to have been an ekphrastic element to Jeff the Killer’s Creation. What the hell does ekphrastic mean? Well, basically it means ‘based on or inspired by a work of art’.

Now, whilst most wouldn’t look at the image of Jeff the killer and regard it as ‘art’ it is commonly agreed the image upon which the story of Jeff the Killer is based actually predates the words making up his story, meaning that the creators began with the creepy image and went from there. The story was written to fit the picture,

Therefore to really get a handle on the the origins of Jeff the Killer it is first necessary to divide the investigation into two parts. First, we need to look at the origin of the image of Jeff The Killer that accompanied the original story, not to mention the many derivative stories and memes that have evolved from it and then look at where the story that grew out of the image came from.

Interestingly, the original ‘Jeff the Killer’ image and its origin has developed a mythology all of its own, with various competing theories and bogus explanations being put forward. Let’s have a go at unpicking them.

The first noted appearance of the famous image is from way back in 2005 on pya.cc a Japanese message board.

The image later appeared in a Japanese Youtube video NNN臨時放送”, a clip identified by some as scary film project, in which names and ages of future victims are listed. The video was uploadedin August of 2007and features a fleeting glimpse of the Jeff the Killer image which can be seen on screen at the 4 minutes eleven seconds mark followed by the words ‘good night’ which may be an early incarnation of, (or the inspiration for) the famous ‘Go to Sleep’ catchphrase with which Jeff is associated.

That this video without a backstory or explanation existed before the story or even the name ‘Jeff the Killer’ surfaced seems to confirm that it was indeed the image that came first.Theassociation of the image with the name ‘Jeff the Killer’ or any related title came in 2008 when a user on the forum Newgrounds uploaded the image using the name Killerjeff with the somewhat dubious claim that the image was a self portrait depicting him.

Shortly following this first association of the photograph with the name, the first incarnation of anything resembling an actualstory for Jeff The Killer (and featuring the now famous image) was a video uploaded by Sesseur on October third 2008, with some sources claiming Sesseur and the previous Newgrounds uploader ‘Killerjeff’ to be the same person.

This original video which notably contained music by Pixies (which may have been the reason that the video was eventually removed) has been claimed by its creator as the original Jeff the Killer origin story and indeed does predate the more well known Creepypasta version of the tale.

Additionally it is worth noting that Sesseur ( consequently cited by most sources as Jeff’s creator)has been critical of the details given in later incarnations of the story, insisting, presumably in reference to his original conception of the character, that bullies were not involved in the accident that led to Jeff’saltered appearance, but rather that he slipped on some soap whilst carrying acid he intended to use to clean the drains in his bathroom. Sesseur has also pointed out in his version Jeff does not kill his parents and brother and even has different real name ( Jeff C. Hodek rather than Jeff Wood).

The later Creepypasta incarnations of Jeff The Killer, upon which the above synopsis is based, also have a somewhat convoluted history.

Despite being very popular, the original version uploaded in 2011 was derided by many as being weakly told and of low quality with many insisting that the story did not meet the quality assurance standards of the site.

It was eventually moved from creepypasta to a sister site dedicated to badly written Creepypastas. However, owing to the popularity of the character this removalprompted many users to simplyreupload the story. In an attempt to placate these fans and to establish a ‘better’ version of Jeff’s story a competition was launched in 2015 to create a ‘re-make’. The winning story,which exists in an uncut longer version and a shorter version (edited tofit the constraints of the competitions word limit)was written by K Banning Kellum is the version with which most people today are familiar.

источник

Существует несколько версий появления этого персонажа:

-Предполагается, что первые изображения персонажа появились в октябре 2008 года в видео, загруженном на YouTube пользователем Sesseur. Видео было названо Джефф Убийца (оригинальная история). Материал вызвал интерес тысяч пользователей интернета к истории этого персонажа..

-В том же месяце автор опубликовал оригинальное видео на веб-сайте Newgrounds, что позволило лучше понять историю. В то же время они начали предлагать серию историй, видео и даже fanarts, генерировать движение вокруг персонажа.

-Другая версия происхождения этого персонажа связана с самоубийством Кэти Робинсон, которая после публикации фотографии в 4chan стала жертвой киберзапугивания.

-Несмотря на ужасающие образы Джеффа-убийцы (где вы видите бледное лицо, черные глаза и жуткую улыбку), считается, что оригинальная фотография была отредактирована с Photoshop в качестве забавы.

-Публикация статьи в 2006 году свидетельствовала о предполагаемом существовании Джеффа-убийцы, хотя вскоре после этого была продемонстрирована его ложность. Тем не менее, этого было достаточно для сообщества форумов и CREEPYPASTA создать сеть историй и дискуссий об этом.

Other Possible Jeff The Killer Influences.

Though they seem to be less widely acknowledged a number of other pop culture characters have clearly influenced the evolution of Jeff the Killer

Most prominent amongst these is the DC villain and Batman arch nemesis The Joker. Not only does this character share the clown-like combination of a white face and maniacal smile, but in Tim Burton’s version(as played by Jack Nicholson) his face is disfigured by an accident with chemicals, a trope which is also present in various versions of the Jeff the Killer story.

In Christopher Nolan’s version meanwhile, the noticeably scarred Joker (played by Heath Ledger) is thought to have deliberately mutilated his own face in order to create the fixed grin, telling various conflicting stories throughout the film as to how he was scarred in the first place. Again this is atrope employed in the Jeff the Killer stories.

Both The Jokerand Jeff The Killer can trace their origins further back to the early black and white classic The Man who Laughed in which the tragic hero has a fixed maniacal smile throughout.

Even less discussed is the obvious influence of Japanese manga (and later movie) character Ichi the Killer who not only shares virtually the same name as Jeff but has a fondness for knives and homicide and also sports a badly scarred mouth twisted into a permanent smile.

Origins

There are two known widespread versions of the early Jeff the Killer image. The earlier variant uses different eyes and a non-distorted smile compared to the second and more famous edit. Both variants could be seen on numerous Japanese imageboards throughout the mid-2000s before becoming popularized by killerjeff on Newgrounds.

The first known appearances of the earlier picture began with a Japanese media sharing site called «fileman.n1e.jp» by an anonymous user on July 24th, 2005. It was accompanied by the caption «夏の夜の恐怖・・・» (roughly translating to «The fear of summer nights…») and the description «整形前の某有名人・・・» (meaning «A certain celebrity before plastic surgery…»). Some of the comments mention seeing the image on other sites, suggesting that there were previous posts.

The image later appeared on other imageboard and forum sites such as gazo05.chbox.jp, gamushara.net, blog.livedoor.jp/warata2ki, pya.cc, and more, along with hundreds of reposts on 2channel (now under the URL of 5ch.net), mainly with the purpose of scaring people.

The first repost on a non-Japanese website was on speedguide.net, dating to October 23rd, 2005. Although the picture was unarchived, the image’s name «prettyFace.jpg» aligned with the same image name posted to gamushara. The user behind the post was contacted, confirming the image he posted was the early Jeff variant, and later made a blog post about his experience with the image. Ever since there were no found reposts of the first variation of the image on a western site in that time period.

The second variant of the image that later went on to be used in the Jeff the Killer creepypasta first appeared again on media sharing site pya.cc by user «omegavolt» on November 16th, 2005.

Debunked Rumor

On April 20th, 2008, the image was commonly believable to originate from a user’s sister who committed suicide. On 4chan’s random board, /b/, the OP attaches a picture in the post claiming it got taken the final hours before her alleged suicide. Rumor has it she got made fun of on the forums because of her appearance and internet users went on to photoshop the photo. Consequently, she passed away the next day, leaving OP shocked.

During an investigation of the early Jeff the Killer image findings, some users stumbled upon a MySpace account presenting the woman’s photo labelled «Katy Robinson.» An early version of the image measures back to early 2005 on a Christian parody site, «TrueChristian.com.» The woman’s actual name is Heather, and she is still alive. Heather insists she has nothing to do with the «Jeff the Killer» images or the bizarre 4chan rumor.

The whereabouts of the images are still unclear, and thus, the origin is still an underlying mystery.

Theories

On an anonymous imageboard site known as 4chan, some users speculate the still image is a screenshot of a girl’s video call from Livestream website, Stickam. The story follows the girl who appeared to be unattractive and was autistic. A snapshot of her Livestream mysteriously floated around 4chan’s random board, /b/. In the post’s captions, the original poster (OP) impersonates the girl asking if they were pretty or requesting to make the photo look more beautiful. Eventually, many responders participated in tampering with the picture by progressively making it more repulsive. The OP proceeded to complain about the photoshops as more were made. As a result, the poster left the board.

Another rumor scattered that an additional photo was either attached to her Stickam page or shared privately. It was a photograph of her standing next to a family member, wearing a sweatshirt. One of the first notices of this was on a paranormal post of /x/.

Mr. Mulholland, the person who posted the early variant on pya.cc, claimed it arose from a Japanese video of a middle-aged woman. Considering the photoshops emerged from Japan, and Japan’s stickam site did not release until 2006, these claims are dubious at best.

Overview and Synopsis of Jeff The Killer at a Glance

Firstly, for those unfamiliar with the character ‘Jeff the Killler’the most widely known Creepypasta on this character can be found here. The story is usually linked to a version of this image in which the character is shown to be noseless, with bleached white skin, a leering permanent grin and lank black hair.

For those wanting a quick overview, the story of Jeff Killer goes something like this:

Dark Images and Darker Stories

Whilst the above explains the backstory of the Creepypasta tale itself, the question remains, where did the image come from in the first place? Here is where fact and fiction begin to blur with even the photograph’s origins being obscured by half truth and myth.

For some time it was believed the photograph was a photoshop manipulated image of a girl identified as Katy Robinson. The story went that this young girl, who was considered by some internet trolls to be overweight, was eventually driven to suicide by online bullies. Her image was then photoshopped and used as the basis for the most widely known Jeff the Killer image.

It’s a tragic story which though it exists entirely separately from the Jeff the Killer Creepypasta lends Jeff’s image of the bleach skinned wide eyed smiler, an even more sinister aspect and a legitimate reason to find the image unnerving, depicting as it did not only a deceased girl, but a victim of the same species of bullying that the fictional character endures. Unfortunately, this story also turns out to be nonsense.

The Katy Robinson story and the entire idea that the Jeff the Killer image used the photograph of a deceased girl as its basis has been debunked. The girl featured in the photograph alleged to belong to the unfortunateMs Robinson is actually a girl named Heather White, who has confirmed that the images alleged to have been manipulated have nothing to do with the famous image of Jeff the Killer.

Another theory which has gained traction in recent years is that the original photograph was of an unnamed stickam girl. This girl, who is alleged to have been crying for attention, was said to have used images in which the flash from the camera or monitor illuminated and overexposed her face giving it the bleached out white appearance familiar from the Jeff Killer images.

Her image was subsequently screenshotted and adopted by another anonymous user who then posed as her using her photograph to ask “Am I pretty?”

Responding to what seemed to be naked self promotion or hunting for sympathy clicks, viewers of the image gradually added to a thread in which they manipulated the image, so that it gradually became more and more distorted. These photoshopped images are believed by some to have evolved into the original Jeff the Killer photographs. Well that’s one theory at least and currently the one that seems to be given the most creedence.

Other theories as to the image’s origin are that the root image is in fact simply a manipulated photograph of Jeff The Killer’s original poster Susseur wearing a latex mask. This is actually what he claimed, though the fact that the image has been identified in videos and other sources a number of years before he posted his story makes this claim seem somewhat unreliable.

As is the theory that the image is a manipulation of the ‘overly attached girlfriend’ meme because of the similarly wide eyed and smiling pose. This theory can be debunked almost immediately owing to the fact that the meme in question (based on an image of Laina Morris) features an image from 2012, meaning that it came into existence long after the earliest known version of the Jeff image and indeed the original Jeff the Killer story.

So far the farthest back anyone has been able to trace the image is to a Japanese site called pya.cc where two versions of the image were found, both faces are noseless, though one has added contour shading around the eyes and the area where the nose would be. It has also been noted that the two images have different eye shapes, with one looking more like the eyes from a stuffed toy or cartoon character.

история

Есть два основных подхода:

По словам Сессера

История Сессера, которая, как полагают, является отправной точкой для рождения Джеффа-убийцы, фокусируется на аварии, в которой Джефф пострадал, однажды он решил убрать ванную комнату в своем доме..

Из-за скольжения галлон кислоты упал на его лицо, обжигая кожу. Несмотря на помощь соседа и поддержку его старшего брата Луи, именно с этого момента он знает, что Джефф никогда не будет прежним.

По словам Creepypasta Wiki

После появления Джеффа в сети, фанаты не заняли много времени и создали собственную версию истории..

В этом случае аргумент фокусируется на переезде Вудс в новый район, из-за работы его отца. Несмотря на изменения, которые будут представлять, братья Джефф и Лю были взволнованы этим фактом.

Однако через несколько дней оба становятся жертвами насмешек и преследования хулиганов в школе.

После нескольких атак Джефф решил столкнуться с ними до такой степени, что ранил двух из них. С учетом сложившейся ситуации полиция провела соответствующие расследования, и Лю взял на себя вину за инцидент..

Во время празднования барбекю (или дня рождения, некоторые версии варьируются), Джефф подвергся нападению снова, на этот раз с отбеливателем и огнем. Вскоре после того, как его отправили в больницу для лечения ожогов.

Рождение Джеффа Убийцы

После нескольких операций врачи позвонили своим родителям, чтобы сообщить им, что их сын получил сильные ожоги и что из-за этого ему будет почти невозможно вести нормальную жизнь..

Джеффу удалось увидеть его изуродованное лицо в зеркале комнаты, которая была в больнице. Когда он смотрел на себя в таком состоянии, он решил подрезать веки и удлинить уголки губ, чтобы казалось, что он всегда улыбается.

В конце концов, Джефф закончил калечить свое лицо и убивать своих родителей. В том же безумии он искал своего брата, чтобы покончить с жизнью, и именно в этот момент судьба Лю считается неопределенной: в некоторых версиях Лю умирает в руках Джеффа, а в других Джефф покидает его. бесплатно.

Jeff the Killer Origins and History

You wake at 3AM. Disturbed by some subtle shifting sound within the room, just on the edge of hearing. Propping up on one arm you survey the room looking for some source for the noise, hoping beyond hope that you won’t find one. At first, your hopes are raised, everything seems to be silent, everything seems to be still. But it isn’t.
