Tag Alias: creepy -> nightmare_fuel

Aliasing creepy -> nightmare_fuel.

Reason: Basically the same thing.


It's been discussed in forum #29444. We wanted creepy to mean spooky, scary, Halloween stuff and nightmare fuel to mean "ah my eyes! Why would you draw that!?" There is a really spiffy wiki on it.


Then the wiki page for creepy needs reworked.


Wiki reworked. I'll go back later and clean up the "See also" pages it is linked to. I see that creepy needs a little cleaning up as well so it's next on my list.


There's a very thin line between creepy as fuck and I'll have nightmares for weeks.

creepy as fuck is the same thing as nightmare fuel. Creepy, spooky, scary, horror, etc. is being used to refer to the genre such as humor or scifi. Once I think of a better word I'll replace creepy with it because I agree it kinda gets mixed a lot.
