The Door Under The Stairs (1990) - Vintage Spooky Pop-Up Book by Keith Moseley - Halloween Horror
Aww yeah, this was one of the first board games I ever had when I was little!
I got this from a second hand store but the rods are made of steel and it's the thick plastic version but all black on top. Edit: Me and my 13 year old son have had good fun with this.
I think I bought this from you online a few years ago 🤣
It looks like a walnut.
Could you use these with five parsecs from home?
You've convinced me - I've just won an eBay auction for it!
Let me know what you think once you've played. :)
Thank you for bringing me back in my memory land!! You are a very charming host!!! BTW.. I could do without Reptile games. One game used to give me nightmares was a game called SNAKES ALIVE. (I don't want to talk about it!!)
I have 2 copies of 80s version because I cannot find the 90s version. I would play the 80s version adapting the 90s Rules.
I played the 86 version as a kid. After a gap of many years we started playing it again with my nephews. I thought the dolphin protected you from a shark but not the sea serpent, a dolphin could carry you all the way home if you use all three moves at once and the people were dumped straight into the water when removing a piece of land. Either my version is slightly different from yours or I'll have to re-read the rules.
I still remember those plastic teeth on my 4 year old fingers...such a cruel toy lol
I used to have these when I was a kid
I've never seen the simple one
I had this game I loved it
Finally found my password for my account again! :D Thank you so much for this awesome video, it's a pure joy to see you crafting such an amazing creature and covering the game! Best greets from Berlin, Flo
That's great that you're back in. Looking forward to seeing what video content you come out with. :)
Thanks, me too😂
13:51 nice catch
came here becuase of Funni Swedish man
OMG... You should have some disclaimer warning for the "Toy Story" fans on the beginning of this video. 😉
Sorry; I'd say "No toys were harmed in the making of this video", but well, that'd just be a lie! lol
I Brought this game from ebay with no original balloons. The Mechanics in this game remind me of The Golden Egg from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Where if you open it and not put it underwater, it lets out a horrible, horrible screech.
Worked that out pretty quickly.
Love the artstyle.
6:10 That sound as it wobbles is even more satisfying than the sheer drop.
Background musics are sea shanties from AC 4 BF.
Mate I remember these books so well as a kid! I absolutely loved them. Any idea where I could buy some decent copies for my son? We live in the states. You may also want to try Haunted House by Jan Pienkowski
All of the copies that I've picked up have come from eBay. Been pretty lucky with condition. I'm on the look out for Haunted House, but yet to come across one in the wild. It's been reprinted a number of times, but I'd like to get a vintage copy.
@AtticRaidersRetroReviews I have one but it's pretty beat up from my escapades as a kid, just like my copies of the Keith Moseley books are! I am going to try to find some better copies of the Moseley books.
Had exactly the same with Action Man and Dr. X skin and characters !
Reminds me of Ghost Castle.
The fact that the bootleg pop up pirate is 1% better because the swords are not attached to the mold thingybabber
This was great, thanks for doing this series. it was really cool to be able to revisit these books which had previously sort of lurked around, semi-remembered, in my sub-conscious. And to get to see the ones that I never had as well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks! Enjoyed this series a lot 👌
I thought this was a game. My mistake.
Nice executioner costume!! Neat pop up book too 😊
I have found a copy here in the Philippines cost me £6.5 (₱500) including shipping to my province. I looked for a RUclips video about this game and this is the only one I can find. And I'm so happy about this review. Very well put review and tutorial.
Had to rewrite this comment cuz RUclips’s auto censorship didn’t like some words I guess. Wish this had more views, this was very interesting. I never knew where the original characters came from as a kid. I just bought this board game again for $45 plus shipping and my wife’s kids have been playing on it nonstop. I told them I was younger than they are now when I first played it in 1992 and it was my favorite board game besides Dark Tower (which is too pricey for me to get at $200-300 😢) Did you ever happen to do a game review video for the omega virus?
Yes I'd love Dark Tower myself, but only if I can ever find it at an affordable price! I have not reviewed Omega Virus yet, but I'd recommend checking out Luke's review of it over on Down From The Attic if you've not seen it yet.
Oh that's awesome! I used to own a copy of this as a kid, I loved it. I also had 'The Weirdies of Wailing Wood'. I'm excited to see you cover the other titles in the series.
In the Deep Dark Dungeon is out already and Mystery of Maggoty Mill comes out tomorrow, then Weirdies of Wailing Wood on the 31st. 😁
Very nice art work
cute and clever i love it they thought of dso much detail
This is the guy from Toy Story 2.
Thank you ! Very helpful. Just bought a second-hand game which I thought was not working.... bc it was not working/switching position like the one where we can borrow games... I had it open and was wondering WTF... Thank you for the idea of this video and how full of informations it is.
One of my favorite books. Still have Mine at my parents home ✌️
Mark, congratulations - I take it you completed your collection of this queasy quartet. As for this book in particular: Hardcore, isnʼt it? Thereʼs a sense of lingering existential dread and fatalism unusual in fare for the kiddies. Looking forward to the next haunting installment!
Yes, I finally tracked down Deep, Dark Dungeon for a decent price (for some reason it’s usually 4 times dearer than any of the others). Then of course I had to spend a good chunk of time repairing the bent mechanisms in it! Story-wise, this is probably my favourite of the 4. Part 2 coming tomorrow!
Nice one. You will do the other pop up books?
Yes, I will be doing all 4 over the week. Look out for part 2 tomorrow!
I really want to like these, but the splayed legs necessitating a substantial base is a turn off.
Great review!
What I would do with the alien pod mission is number each pod 1-9. Each number would correspond to a specific alien. That way each alien type only turns up once.
Lots of washing up liquid and very hot water, soak for a while to let the water cool to a point where you won't scald yourself and scrub HARD with a nail brush, scrub again in plain water to shift soap, dry and spray with matt varnish, then paint as normal with a heavy matt varnish to finnish. If keeping the integral base, score with a knife or roughen with sandpaper before gluing.
this game deserves a comeback but updated 11 donut colours more gears and a dodecahedron dice
I remember a bit from the ad.
I really liked this game as a kid.
Diggin the Stan Rogers music
Big fan of your painting style, wondering if you’d make a video assembling or kit bashing a frostgrave war band? Or maybe you’ve done that already, I’ve only just found your channel. Enjoying myself so far though, keep up the good work!
I’ve done a few videos assembling Stargrave kits, but no Frostgrave ones (though I have a sprue of every kit released sitting in unbuilt). I’ll definitely consider it.
Great video. Now I am curious about alien zoology..
It’s great fun! The links for it are in the video description (and it’s completely free!).
