Life Takes A Horrific Turn When You Go Outside For Once - Nightmare at Famine Springs 

welcome to the I'm Still Standing Club how I'm Still Standing are ya?

Nothing says good parenting like letting your kid go out trick-or-treating all by himself in the middle of a slew of missing children cases.

Kid 1: "I got five pieces of candy!" Kid 2: "I got a chocolate bar!" Kid 3: "I got a quarter!" Protagonist: "I got murdered."

I love how the Father is an immortal serial killer sacrificing children to some cosmic horror, but his son is just kind of a dick who still goes to elementary school.

The funniest thing was that the kid went into the "abandoned" house for candy. Like what? Just go back lol.

That “Mom, I like anime” killed me for some reason. Literally almost made me choke on my food.

The mom insist the kid to go Trick-or-treating despite the kid didn't want to, then a bully comes to the kid house just to bully the kid despite the kid house is located far from the main road, then after bullying the kid the bully stays at the kid house gate. IDK chief, this is some crazy conspiracy.

_"You know, I don't think the front door was locked...We coulda just left"_ The moral of the story is don't be greedy about candy or take a dare from a bully. He could be the son of an Old Ones worshipper. I would love to see a continuation of this in another game. Great music which absolutely was perfect for the atmosphere!

“Police search failed” *crime scene literally just behind a locked door*

Calling someone in ghost costume unoriginal while you're in a jack o'lantern is like calling someone a basic b while sipping Pumpkin Spice Latte.

2:12 “I BET I GET MORE CANDY THEN YOU 😝😝” “I bet you get hit by a car 😒”

Nothing like a good horror game at midnight to help soothe me to sleep

Love how the game is trying to scare people but Manly just kept creaming over the awesome BGM

Numerous missing kids, ghosts, and blood EVERYWHERE. Manly: "Dear God... This soundtrack rules!"

Moral of the story…don’t trust pumpkin headed kids 😢

Ah… That creature at the end is Yog-Sothoth’, The gate and the Key. He’s… uh… usually depicted as a bundle of planet-like globes, so it’s weird that they gave him a physical form, one that more accurately depicts Azathoth. Edit: Whoops. Wrong old-one. Comment edited to avoid misinformation.

Mom: "No, yo aint a weirdo" Manly: "I like anime" Good one manly

"you can always check the old Fulmer house-" "FALMER?!" "no... I said-" "FUS RO DA"

As soon as I heard the date was october 31st, i knew i'd be watching something horrifically mortifying. Classic Manly to play a Halloween game way past Halloween lolz

"life takes a horrific turn when you go outside for once" is a very relatable sentence . My life had rarely gotten better after going outside

This is why you just buy your candy, kick your feet up and watch scary movies on Halloween. So easy to avoid stuff like this. This was a fun little Halloween game, I like how I was able to predict one element of the ending and then it just ran all the way into insanity.

Slightly disappointed your mother wasn’t the killer. She seemed creepy as hell in the opening. At least one alternate ending could have added a lot to it, but not too bad.

Hey Manly! Today's my 19th birthday. Love your uploads so much, I can't wait for my lil Manly plush to ship out so you can protect me from the horror games you play, of course in marketable plush form! Have a great night!

I always love when manly can immediately change his tone to say "Hey everyone, this is manly badass hero"

Adding an X to the year in media feels like something you only see in like 80's stuff. It always gives an immediate air of "far future". Most memorable example for me is Fist of the North Star. I don't know why. It's like the small bit of uncertainty, even if it's just a ten year span like in YYYX is like things are so dire that dudes just FORGOT what year it was. Who cares? Who has time to remember the past or worry about the future when it's a fight just to live in the present?

happens to me every time I go outside

I love the “close up” art in this game! It’s creepy cool

3:27 I like this guy. He gives you candy the second you say you didn't egg his house. Also was it really necessary to call us out like that in the title, Manly?

Ain’t gonna lie miss all the episodic longer lets plays. Hopping for a lets play of that game you promoted little goody two shoes or the night is grey

"Life Takes a Horrific Turn when you go outside for once!" Stay inside and play games, got it.

At least he avoided the horror of making a trip to the dentist and racking up those dental bills.

1:35 who does Manly sound like a dog from Courage the Cowardly Dog 😭

When Yog-Sothoth recited that passage at the end I felt like DiCaprio in that meme where he points at the tv. I was the biggest Lovecraft nerd in high school and I could recite that Yog-Sothoth passage by heart. I loved Bad Flesh and I'm glad to see this dev making more weird horror.

However, the candy our protagonist had in his pocket was actually chock full of razor blades laced with poison! The Flesh Guardian coughs up... a black, sticky substance. Its blood perhaps? "What have you done?! Is this an attempt to trick me?" it shouted with pained gurgles. The father shouted. "No, I swear it wasn't anything like that, your greatness! I only fed you the finest children! Take my son as an apology!" Before the Father could grab his son, the Flesh Guardian began melting as it screamed in agony. Its flesh bubbled like hot water, and its blood evaporated like steam. "Foolish mortals! The Old Ones will have your heads for this! Just like how Adam suffered after eating the forbidden fruit, your great great great grandchildren will pay the toll I imbue upon you!" The Flesh Guardian dissipated into white smoke. The father has his head in his hands, fearful of what could happen next, while the son looks at his father in worry as to what he had just unleashed.

I did find it a bit suspicious that the bully was right outside the kid’s house and was just standing there. And then he suddenly appeared in front of that road before allowing you into the property. And then you meet that person in the caged window, but after opening that second gate, he/she was suddenly gone. I bet that kid’s mother felt horrible after making her kid go trick-or-treating that night. But it’s just a game. Why do I always think into things too much when it comes to games and movies and stories? Why do I always think of things as if it were really happening when I know it’s really just a game? I’m so weird…

Kinda seems inspired by those Sr Pelo spooky season shorts. Especially the bit about an ancient eldritch entity hidden under an abandoned mansion

I saw the notification and was so excited 🎉 Getting ready for bed, I always need me some nightly horror from the one and only ManlyBadAssHero!!

the pumpkin in the preview video reminds me of the boy who had a rotting pumpkin head thanks for that manlybadassheroofjusticeweaboo

Someone probably already told you, but in case they didn't, Pyrocynical used your footage (with credit) in his latest video! (The Hidden Lore of Lethal Company, skip to 11:23)

Wow, the protag certainly became a ghost!

That music was very good indeed.

One of these days, Manly's 'joke' descriptions at the beginning of the video are going to be totally, 100% accurate, and I don't know how I'm going to handle that.

manly: nothing goes wrong. me on my head: "nothing", goes wrong.

Manly I have to tell you that my cat Freya loves watching your videos! We sit on my bed and watch your videos together!

This is why I don’t go outside

It's just natural selection when a kid goes into the abandoned house for some "candy".

Moral of the story, be friendless and stay inside Got it

Man, I'd think kids wouldn't have a ghost of a chance of getting candy in a town called Famine Springs. That one neighbor had a razor sharp wit though. And my gourd, little ghosty kid should have kept the pumpkin head poem in mind: "Keep away from Pumpkinhead, Unless you're tired of living"

"I'm a ghost" *screams like tarzan*

Another digital sleeping pill for my brain. Thanks, Manly :D

The soundtrack reminds me of Dark Seed. Now that game is truly a game of nightmares! There is indie horror and then whatever that was! It was a point and click horror game which was heavily based on the works of H.R Giger. A soundtrack that rumbles from a Sega Megadrive / Saturn or Commodore 64 is much scarier than an entire orchestra. Man… I feel old… 😂

I don't think yog-sothoth was portrayed very well. They usually don't want sacrifices to grow in power, nor would they thank you for it. They're one of the most powerful deities in the lovecraftian mythos. They pretty much have all they want. They usually only ask for sacrifices as a price for knowledge.

This is what an HD remake of an Atari 5200 game would look like.

This game was good but things escalated way too fast and the kid could've and should've turned around and left the second the saw blood but kept going for some reason, which is very unrealistic, also it makes no sense to go looking for candy in an old abandoned house.

I’m loving these midnight uploads, as I usually stay up late most nights :)

why the music be goin so hard in old man fulmer's house?? we makin it out of Famine Springs with this one yall 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lovecraftian lore can literally come from anywhere and I love it

Dunno why but I like a lot how you say "which is a horror game" love yur vids bud keep it up

The soundtrack and the light effect when walking past the bars reminds me of the into to Zero Tolerance on the Sega Mega Drive.

Famine Springs? What's next? Plague Hollow? War Hill?

Hm, by Gate, I think the monster meant The Gates of the Silver Key, one of HP’s “Randalph Carter” tales. I think it was some Dreamworld door, or a time travel portal, it wasn’t his best work and “Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath” overshadowed it.

The names in that book from 10:59 - Fairly certain those are all Lovecraft gods. Still bad news to mess with it either way.

I feel like we've seen games where the kid takes other kids to thr murder house and games were they kill to feed a monster... Never combined tho, so it's pretty nice ig 😅

It surely isn't Halloween without the Old Lovecraftian Gods making an appearance

This is why I never go outside and instead watch ANIME all day

A mashed potato looking monster with eyes similar to those of a spider certainly is a unique and cool monster design

Manly is the best horror youtuber change my mind (you cant)

That was a game if I've ever seen one.

i wasnt expecting your ghost sounds but i enjoyed it

"My friends are on the computer-" "Get off the computah. Stop all the downloadan"

Soundtrack IS good.

Lesson learned - never go outside....

I have sympathy for horror protagonists who are dragged into their horrible situations, but when a kid makes this many obvious bad choices, i just can't

Sleep? Nah, rather watch manly play some games

As someone with agoraphobia, the title is nightmare fuel.

This kid is working, too hard for this candy, geez. Could have left any time 😂

*scary looking abandoned house* _"LeT's Go HeRe FoR TrEaK oR tReAtInG"_

Too scary for Trick or Treating

Thank you, Manly, for not saying the soundtrack "slaps" or that "it's a bop," or "a banger." Thank you for thinking of us seniors watching.

Manly cracking jokes had me dying, kinda unusual i loved it

Oh this kid made it into the basement...oh, this is getting...

the bgm gives me strong BioMenace & Vectorman nostalgia

6:37 it’s Nothing There Yes manly there is Nothing There

If your mom looks like that, run. That's a skinwalker if i ever seen one.

the pumpkin kid specifically waited outside his house to mock him

Makes me think of Shadowrun music on Genesis.

The title is so accurate 😂

Oh yeah, those were some Genesis chords in there!

Manly ghost noises are best noises

me when life takes a horrific turn when i go outside for once (it's why I don't go outside)

I'm a ghost, I can't hold eggs I never want to be a ghost

Manly imitating a ghost looks like he has a stomach ache

hey Manly just got to say I think you're a really good gamer and great commentating your play throughs. Love watching your channel, keep it up my friend. Cheers T.

I went outside once. I got stung by a wasp. it was awful.

My favorite is the Buckshot Roulette Dealer.

Damn, that's a nice time to see a horror game

That kid was trespassing, they were only protecting themself from that kid

6:38 There is nothing there! Nothing there breached the containment! Ayin help us....

Those ghost sounds sound very familiar... I want to say Many A True Nerd, but I am not sure. Also heard it in a mod for New Vegas, but it's all so long in the past... EDIT: NOt MATN, the voice reminded me of Al Chestbreach!

My legs r asleep but I'm still standing No excuse
