"2Spooky" is an abbreviation of the phrase "too spooky" that is typically associated with pictures and animated GIFs of skeletons and the song "Spooky, Scary Skeletons" by Andrew Gold.

Origin

According to a thread Facepunch forum member Seed Eater, the abbreviation "2Spooky" was inspired by the creepypastas "And Then a Skeleton Popped Out" and "Mr. Bones Wild Ride" from the /x/ (paranormal) board on 4chan. Forum members began making using the term "2SPoOkY4U" after forum member Mr. Royzo posted the song "Spooky, Scary Skeletons."
