It's a weird thing to see an account of an apocalypse in the 19th century and know that this event leads to Hermann Munster.

Good old chains of consequences.

I am happier than I should be to be able to put up a spooky article on Halloween. It's the little things.

Just wait for Part 2 we're doing Empress Eugénie and Count Duckula.

Great article for Halloween. If you don't mind me asking, was it deliberate to publish this spooky article on Halloween?
Happy Halloween, everyone.

Oh, yeah. I bugged poor Ryan something terrible about it. He actually sent me the draft on september the 13th and was like, 'dunno when you want this to go up, I'm thinking maybe early october' and I was like 'Halloween, Halloween, Halloween'.

Completely rearranged my schedule just so you could do the whole 'on halloween, SLP look into the history of horror' thing. I have history on this, I also completely rearranged some articles just so a review of Shakespeare ah could go up on his birthday.

All utterly meaningless but very much worth it from my point of view, cos I find it fun.

Someone clever should use this holiday as a POD for an alternate birth of horror, perhaps drawing upon another great iconic location of horror stories.

 

[SenatorChickpea]

Oh, and someone even cleverer would read that story and decide that they wished to explore more alternate history horror fiction, handily available on ess ell pee dot com.

If only there were some way to promote that on today of all days in conjunction with the article.

Alright, alright, I had to get across the building to a computer to do this, you'd better be grateful.

Wha? Did you read some sort of implication in our posts? Don't know how that happened but thanks all the same.

Admittedly the lab was on fire at the time (long story) so I didn't take much persuading.

I have questions.

This seems very appropriate for a thread about horror fiction.

Was it late one night? Did your eyes behold an eerie sight?

Particularly the subject of this article. If @Thande has told Ygor once about that lever that will destroy the castle he's told him a hundred times.
