The Director of Horror Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I was looking through my house for old books to put in the witch room for RHH and come upon a bit of "Poe's Prose Tales". It was dated by my great grandfather from 1923. While it doesn't include all of the his featured work in Nevermore, I will read the ones that are; and read the read online. There's nothing more atmospheric than reading Poe from a small, eighty-three year old, worn and torn book under dim candlelight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbriar246 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Just re-read Berenice and The Black Cat. I really hope they're featured in the house, great HHN material. The Oval Portrait also seems like something suitable for HHN, but it's only about three pages long, so there's not much to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Saw a video walk through of this house. Detailed and a little trippy. There are little clues all over the house to Poe's works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faceleg Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 That character has to be from The Black Cat. Only Poe story I know of where a woman gets axed in the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonk Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Looks like Inside the Magic has posted both Walkthroughs to their YouTube channel. After seeing these, and the characters, it's going to be the longest 7 days of my life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jimmy Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I have decided a bit of Cats n Combs style fun would be appropriate for this house. The obvious choice would be a plush Raven, but I already have this little fella: An Edgar Allan Poe finger puppet! He will go with me through this house.

cwoolboy Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) hahaha, awesome!!!! great finger puppet, I'm sure the scareactors will LOVE him (you should name him little Poe...or maybe just Edgar). The walkthough vid looks twisted and amazing in all the right ways!!! I think I'm officially psyched for this house.

Oysterhead00 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 After watching the video, I couldn't help but think it was like the game Condemned....I know, has NOTHING to do with Poe, but just the sound, editing, shooting style, etc reminded me sooooooo much of the flashback sequences of Condemned.

Neko Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 The video was awesome. I am even more excited for this house now. Great finger puppet, Jimmy. I would think anything related to the works of Poe would be appropriate fodder for this house and open up for a bit of variety. Black cats, ravens, etc. I have a black cat puppet and a small stuffed black cat. Perhaps one will make a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumboshrmp Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 If you are unfamiliar with some of Poe's stories, and want to read some of them to possibly enjoy this house more, they are all in the public domain and can be read here for free: http://poestories.com/stories.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonk Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 After watching the video, does anyone have a guess as to what the room after the "Masque" and Picture room could be (right before the Raven sections with the funky windows)? It looks likes a stone storeroom/cellar of some kind, but I am having trouble tying a story to it. The rest of the scenes are pretty easy to decipher, just can't seem to figure that one out. If I had to wager a guess, I would say it is from the Black Cat, since we have already seen the character that is most likely tied to that story and none of the other scenes shown seem to match up with that particular story. That could be the cellar where the gruesome murder takes place. I'm interested to hear what you all think though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronPaHHNFan Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Why? Why not? If Dr.Jimmy is going to have fun and entertain himself and his group with his finger puppet he has the right to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonk Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Cask of Amontillado. Thanks Legacy, that was going to be my next guess. Although I'm curious as to what the characters in this particular section will look like. Maybe we will just hear laughing/coughing/screaming from behind the walls as we walk by. Either way, we will know in a few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already seen what looks like the wife from The Black Cat, but I'm sure that The Cask of Amontillado will make an appearance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Who thinks that most of the music from nox arcana's the raven will be played??? It's a pretty good possibility because that whole album relates to the different stories of Poe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it does make sense... My guess is that Mike may not have been familiar with the whole Cats n Combs phenomenon last year. To explain, after Catacombs had bun dubbed "Cats n Combs" by Andrew Shrimp, I for laughs brought a plush toy cat and a comb into the house. This caught on, and soon many fans of this house began taking in toy cats. Then toy dogs started being taken into Havoc. So, I am attempting to recreate some of this activity this year.

I knew why personally but I figured he was just being a jerk, oh well. I'm glad you explained it though. I see a money making opportunity with these finger puppets, count me in for one if anyone takes the bull by the horns on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
