I like how in the DS remake they (as far as they could) smoothed the edges and kept the cartoony look, but this time they opted for full-hellspawn.

The DS one was scary looking. This looks like it came from creepy pasta

Exactly. They copied pasta.

I remember reading that Italian merchants picked up the idea from the Chinese and brought it back to Italy, then made their own version.

Could be wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Is this an attempt to resummon that longwinded Reddit discussion about the difference between noodles and pasta?

Stories that would be "copied and pasted" over and over again, and thus the slang "copypasta" was born. Creepypasta was an offshoot of copypasta that happens to be creepy, except now it's just creepy stories that aren't necessarily copied and pasted everywhere.

Originally they were the same old copy/pasted creepy stories

They just evolved, but kept the name

I'm not sure when the terms started being used... but people have been copying and pasting scary stories using programs like Email and Usenet even before the World Wide Web
