Fun/sad fact, Houdini got along with Lovecraft so well that he commissioned H.P. to ghostwrite for him some more. Among the works produced were an anti-astrology article and a book criticizing superstition overall. Tragically, however, Houdini was killed only two years after he met Lovecraft, so we never got another true Lovecraftian Houdini story. Another reason we live in one of the worst timelines.
24:32 If you hear random muffled music in the background, it's an Old *OLD* OSP reference from when Red was doing Shakespeare Summarized before she did hand-drawn animatics. In her Romeo and Juliet Summarized video.. whenever Tybalt shows up, the song "Here comes trouble" by Bad Company plays in the background when he catches Romeo and tries to fight him.
The detail diatribes goes into Red’s (and Blue’s) specific thoughts about all the stories and movies she had to watch and read to make the Halloween special.
The best version of mummies are the Tomb Kings from Warhammer Fantasy. Because they can be either mindless zombies, resurrected rulers, magic skeletons, or all three. It also has some of the best undead characters and the best mummy characters in fiction. Namely Nagash, father of Necromancy, Khalida the serpent queen, Arkhan the Black, technically Neferata the first vampire, Apophus the mummy made if scarabs, and Settra the Imperishable.
There's also the Necrons in 40K, who have that too, but also incorporate a heavy dose of Lovecraftian Horror and have the setting's single biggest troll, Trazyn the Infinite
I don't mind Nagash, but I _really_ hate his trope where the first is eternally the best. He should be the worst at necromancy since he was the first but fantasy rules in dumb ways.
You mean mighty Settra, Great King, the Imperishable, Khemrikhara, The Great King of Nehekhara, King of Kings, Opener of the Way, Wielder of the Divine Flame, Punisher of Nomads, The Great Unifier, Commander of the Golden Legion, Sacred of Appearance, Bringer of Light, Father of Hawks, Builder of Cities, Protector of the Two Worlds, Keeper of the Hours, Chosen of Ptra, High Steward of the Horizon, Sailor of the Great Vitae, Sentinel of the Two Realms, The Undisputed, Begetter of the Begat, Scourge of the Faithless, Carrion-feeder, First of the Charnel Valley, Rider of the Sacred Chariot, Vanquisher of Vermin, Champion of the Death Arena, Mighty Lion of the Infinite Desert, Emperor of the Shifting Sands, He Who Holds The Sceptre, Great Hawk Of The Heavens, Arch-Sultan of Atalan, Waker of the Hierotitan, Monarch of the Sky, Majestic Emperor of the Shifting Sands, Champion of the Desert Gods, Breaker of the Ogre Clans, Builder of the Great Pyramid, Terror of the Living, Master of the Never-Ending Horizon, Master of the Necropolises, Taker of Souls, Tyrant to the Foolish, Bearer of Ptra's Holy Blade, Scion of Usirian, Scion of Nehek, The Great, Chaser of Nightmares, Keeper of the Royal Herat, Founder of the Mortuary Cult, Banisher of the Grand Hierophant, High Lord Admiral of the Deathfleets, Guardian of the Charnal Pass, Tamer of the Liche King, Unliving Jackal Lord, Dismisser of the Warrior Queen, Charioteer of the Gods, He Who Does Not Serve, Slayer off Reddittras, Scarab Purger, Favoured of Usirian, Player of the Great Game, Liberator of Life, Lord Sand, Wrangler of Scorpions, Emperor of the Dunes, Eternal Sovereign of Khemri's Legions, Seneschal of the Great Sandy Desert, Curserer of the Living, Regent of the Eastern Mountains, Warden of the Eternal Necropolis, Herald of all Heralds, Caller of the Bitter Wind, God-Tamer, Master of the Mortis River, Guardian of the Dead, Great Keeper of the Obelisks, Deacon of the Ash River, Belated of Wakers, General of the Mighty Frame, Summoner of Sandstorms, Master of all Necrotects, Prince of Dust, Tyrant of Araby, Purger of the Greenskin Breathers, Killer of the False God's Champions, Tyrant of the Gold Dunes, Golden Bone Lord, Avenger of the Dead, Carrion Master, Eternal Warden of Nehek's Lands, Breaker of Djaf's Bonds, and many, many more?
You should check out the detail diatribe about the mummies soon. Red goes into more detail about all the stories she read for this video and rates the mummies in them
Also please - rewind a bit after you paused. Especially since you pause like 3 times in some sentences/paragraphs and it's hard to get full meaning of it that way. For us and for you. I think.
"Lord Caernarvon" is the title given to the Earl of Caernarvon (also spelled Caernarfon), an area in Wales around one of my favorite English castles (they might be in Wales, but they weren't built for the Welsh - and I'm particularly fond of Caerphilly). The name comes from the old Welsh "Caer-yn-arfon", which apparently meant "the fortress on the land opposite the island Mona (Anglesey)" back in Roman Brittania days. The guys actual name was George Herbert (really, George Edward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert, because the British aristocracy loves having not only all the antiquities and all the land, but also all the names).
The iconic Universal Horror cavalcade: Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolf-Man, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Abbott and Costello.
Yay Arier! Reacting to OSP is always great. Though I'm not an English major and English is not my first language, but I knew that Edgar Alan Poe also wrote a bit of "Comedy" and/or social commentary. It is a bit funny how sometimes someone as uneducated as me can know not very useful Trivia that an English major doesn't 😜
You need to check out The Mummy Returns. It's a REALLY good sequel! (ignore the third one though.) The "karate fight" isn't that weird. Also, it was the acting debut of The Rock!
@@DDlambchop43 Oh absolutely. I have it myself and I need to properly watch it too. But also the one from 1959, because it's got Christopher Lee as the Mummy!
I have an old Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic where a ten-year-old Pharaoh Atem - Prince Atem in this case - is kidnapped, dragged kicking and screaming into the future, and sold as an illegally trafficked slave to people giving money to his kidnappers. On top of abusing him, overworking him, and making sure he knows as little about the modern world as possible so he's completely dependent on them, his owners also drag him to an ancient Egypt exhibit where a bunch of his loved ones' belongings - including his late mother's necklace, his best friend's study notes, and his dad's *DEAD BODY* are on display. This is a ploy to break his spirit, and it works: seeing this and the slow, dawning realization that escaping and going home isn't possible because home doesn't EXIST anymore causes Atem - who, reminder, is a ten-year-old child - to first pick a fight with the curator, screaming at him and calling him a thief, and then break down crying in the middle of the museum. Sadly, the fic is dead, and I never posted it, but this video reminded me of it.
Your remark about Edgar Allen Poe and Louisa May Alcott reminded me of a series you might like, Edgar Allen Poe' s Murder Mystery Dinner Party. It's a ten episode series on RUclips by Shipwreck Productions. It's about Edgar and one of his famous characters Lenore hosting a murder mystery dinner party inviting a bunch of famous 19th and 20th century authors, but soon people start actually dying. Also two of the characters, Ernest Hemingway and Mary Ann aka George Eliot are played by Joey Richter and Lauren Lopez who were just in The Art of Murder as Giorgio and Princess Almond Blossom.
When Lovecraft of all people is less overtly racist than the ancient aliens people and some other modern """"historians"""" thay says something. Look there's a reason why a lot of stories are "do not open this sealed thing".
36:00 the 3rd one has those clay mummy you were just talking about,separate note Christopher lee play a mummy and Frankenstein monster same as bores carlof just find that funny,oh and most famous version of the Frankenstein monster wasn't bores coarlof but belay legos in the 3rd Frankenstein film i think the arms out poss was because the monster was blinded at that point and think was also a mute as in bride of Frankenstein the monster was able to talk normally
I think I lost a response in there somewhere. I believe you were thinking of The Ghost of Frankenstein. Bela Lugosi was playing Igor (or Ygor, I think they changed the name for some reason) and Lon Cheney Jr. of 'The Wolfman' fame played the monster in that one. I dimly remember the blindness having something to do with Igor/Ygor's blood type being wrong.
@@HBHaga right i just vaguely remember the detail the most famous version of the Frankenstein monster arms out moaning that used a lot wasn't karloff, even though he always who people think of when thinking of Frankenstein monster.
What up again putting this before watching your reaction,just putting those suggestion again mark hamill as frieza,the lords in black being existential terrifying that could be a way you get into starkids work same as that yellow blue face girl instead of the source you watch information on the character just a idea,and the usually 2 chainsaw man musical and hauntlich
From what I've read about what Lovecraft's (Jewish) wife had to say, he didn't actually get better at the end of his life, he just got less vocal and paid some lip service to walking it back, when he wasn't behind closed doors. Thus he looked somewhat better, but was still pretty much the same in private and in his letters.
The whole idea of “This non white masterpiece must have been made by an outside force” is just the ancient aliens theory condensed into a sentence.

Egyptian lazers... dude, YGO Abridged was pulling that shit off over a DECADE AGO and my god does that make me feel old!

Mummies Aka Zombies but with extra steps. Such is the power of Nagash.
Oh God, I just realized that the Necrons are literally Sci-Fi Mummies!
Ancient Egyptian Laser Beams!
So YuGiOh is actually accurate about that! :P
So where's the duels to the death with games?

and his old estate, Highclere Castle is where they shot Downton Abbey. Just a weird fact.

10:00 Yes, Carnarvon is a name and also a place in the UK

first he NEEDS to watch the '32 Mummy, immediately. It's unforgivable he hasn't yet.
@@DDlambchop43 Oh absolutely. I have it myself and I need to properly watch it too. But also the one from 1959, because it's got Christopher Lee as the Mummy!
I guess we can add ancient Egyptians to the (short) list of people Lovecraft wasn't terrified of/repulsed by. Neat
All this and I'm a little surprised no mention of Anne Rice's "The Mummy: or Ramses the damned"
26:02 "And here's where the British stole all of our stuff!"

if you want a neat mummy-ish movie; check out a tv film called "Curse of King Tut" from 2006. It's basically b-list Indiana Jones, loads of fun.

Undead rights is humen rights hell yeah xD
40:28 the destruction scene from 1 movie right after all water turned to blood if remembering right
Lord carnarvon house in the downtown abbey house. it is old

That was still Boris Karloff. Bela Lugosi played Igor in that one.

Airier, were you on the Natural History side or the Art side of the museum? Does it really matter at the Carnegie Museums?
Please, please, please watch the Detail Diatribe. It's literally them going through all Red's notes that didn't fit in the first video.

I think the African ruins you mention are in Rodesia. (sp) I do know Blue does a bit on it.
Clicking on the OG video I expected tons of Yugioh jokes but Red disappointed me
