"A Night of Horror" by Dick Donovan / A HorrorBabble Production 

Sorry about that, Craig!

Mission accomplished. ;-)

Cats, not touch food?? Don't know about that lolz. My little fella trys to get onto my bloody dinner plate! Gotta love a cute, cheeky little kitten. I have a perfect little specimen staring at me currently.

@@DocZ82 same at my house. Spoiled dang siamese trying to sleep on my head.

We get it already, HorrorBabble fans have read about the cats of Ulthar

@@thefisherking78 Well anyway, there's not much left to go so it will soon be over.

@@melfreemans Nice lolz! Gotta love that.

They're Victorian/turn of the century ghost stories. Half the authors are American. But the fact this delightful British reader reads them out gives them all such delightful sound.

Raspberry ripple ice Cream. 400 ml Freshly exsanguinated human blood, (any blood type will do) 5g pectin Add sugar to taste and set aside I litre vanilla ice cream Remove the ice cream from the freezer and whisk until slightly slushy. Return to a plastic container and swirl the red sauce through to make a ripple effect. Freeze again until firm and ready to serve.

@cak01vej Well it's from Granny Scruples, Popular recipes from the Home Counties and the West Country (1873) but your point is well made particularly concerning the shelf life and the flavor. Apparently 1873 was an unusually bad year for raspberries.

i second that. your reading was great, but i knew the whole story once i heard that the previous owner had said his wife and child moved to london. it was highly predictable.

Apparently it used be quite a, "thing," during the middle ages.

Spoiler alert. But I think we all guessed...

Perhaps Ian is the Cool Air protagonist?

Modern people have a different experience of the supernatural than Victorians. Modern people see supernatural events on TV, in movies, an on the internet all the time. They don’t even have to be horror fans to see ghosts in TV commercials. This is why even the most hardened skeptic today can still tell you exactly how to kill a vampire despite not believing in them in the least. But they hear of supposedly real supernatural events only in passing. Which is why even believers in the supernatural often dismiss them. Victorians by contrast _heard_ about supernatural events all the time. Most were Christians so every church service provided a supernatural tale even if they never listened to fire side ghost stories or read penny dreadfuls. But they rarely ever _saw_ anything supernatural at all. Guys like the protagonist’s hard headed skeptical friend were common enough back then because supernatural sights were so rare. So when Victorians saw something they believed genuinely supernatural or read even an account of one they got quite a fright. Even if that same account today wouldn’t frighten the most sheltered modern teen.

@@speurtighearnamacterik8230 Wrong. Supernatural events are real and occur. I've witnessed them IRL. Again, they're rare - I've only witnessed two in my entire 50 + year life. And generally that's true for most believers. Even for believers, someone who claims ghosts, fairies, and such are part of their daily life is suspect. And that's an important consideration in ANY era. As for you, you've fallen into a very modern era fallacy. You believe that because people in past times occasionally believed foolish things that they are somehow naturally inferior to your own intellect. Are astrolabes, pyramids, cathedrals, samurai swords, and steam engines the product of stupid people? You are not inherently better than a Victorian just because you inherited (sometimes from discoveries they made!) updated and improved science. I can tell by your tone you're an atheist who probably believes in the Theory of Evolution. Remind me: what era did Charles Darwin live in? You also mistake emotional weakness for mental weakness. It's emotional weakness to bent out of shape by finding out you're related to negroes. A "special snowflake because my feelings" moment from another era. Mental weakness is not being able to think straight and the Victorians were very strong on that front. Or they tried to be and tried harder than modern people. Google the Washington Post article featuring an 1895 grade school test. I know college sophomores who couldn't pass it. Finally, if people in the past were our mental inferiors because they believed in supernatural things, how do you explain our superiority from your own world view knowing so many of your modern peers believe in the same supernatural things? Or even sillier things besides the supernatural? Hell, racism is still a thing in the 21st century and in some surprising areas enjoying a revival.

If you really wanted to terrify them make them watch a few episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians....

The thing would be better

@@miskatonicuniversityavclub202 Alien!!!! That would be the best!

......................................................................no wait ?

That's what you think -- Warren!

Indeed, It doesn't bear thinking about.

@@Eris123451 -- Unbearable, if not Unnameable! Warren!

Wouldn't it be 'You fool, Randy is dead!'? Not that it would be much better, lol.

@@miarencrowsdaughter6434 -- lol, it took me a moment to realize you were talking about Carter! Cheers Warren, whose mind, if not in the gutter, is in the Underworld!

Well said , sir

No , I don’t think Romans built any of that great architecture Not London, not roads , not any of it. That’s English/ British and Anglo to the bone. Why let an official narrative say Romans built it !?!? No way Romans killed and extortion and never built anything. Greeks might have built Rome in fact I just can’t figure it out Mechanical engineering and literature match the architecture Then ... oh never mind Something is going on

Ambrose Bierce ?

@@Eris123451 The British are good I imagine a few others , however, listen and you’ll hear a a distinction. They got this down to a science. The Alien series where British too HG Wells Sir Arthur Conan Doyal On and on and on It’s almost a Write of Passage I’ll be listening to something ans think : that’s good And it will be British 8 outta 10 times I watched Lawrence of Arabia last night Another one In the theater of the mind- excellent In real world goals- not so good Almost self hating / self destructive and a magnet pulling everyone else down while elevating their enemies. Once you see it , it’s difficult to deny Definitely infected America My guess , it’s a Spell -cast - as in cast system- over the consensus I could write a book about it But , the spell would make it unacceptable/ and nobody would read it Haunted Culture- guilt trip ? Germany should have won that dam war. Watching this is like watching Netflix and it’s commercials- unwatchable My guess is that certain people have vast wealth and it benefits them to destroy their own culture- they feel bad about it and strive to add some literary genius to counteract their ignorance.
