      You should avoid the recording of James Joyce reading Finnegans Wake, because it's the same vibe (just not as loud). If I was going to have run a haunted house, I wouldn't play the usual spook sounds and wolf howls, I'd play THAT because it's a lot creepier.

  • @JamesWilliams-rp4ll
    @JamesWilliams-rp4ll 2 года назад +7

    Oddly enough, I adore the poem. Kipling was fond of describing the true horrors of war in his poetry, and 'Boots' evokes the endless regimented trudge of soldiers' feet, and the monotony of spending ages in a foreign land where 'there's no discharge in the war.' The scarier thing is in the way it's said, not the words themselves. 'I have marched six weeks in 'Ell and an' certify/ It is not fire, devils, dark or anything. But boots...' This simplification of the endlessness of war is the true horror of it. Credit to the SERE instructors to finding this horrific recording (by American actor Taylor Holmes), and for using it in the first place. Very apt, and very spooky.

    I thought the poem was spoken with spirit and drama, wished I could have heard more 💖
    The pictures are 100000 percent scarier than the poem XD

    This audio was an integral part of my Fraternity hazing, couple hours on repeat in a dark room staring at a candle was standard. I’m just here cause I went back and listened for fun. Good times, gotta be the right kind of crazy to love that shit. I do.
