The story is very reminiscent of "The Thing On The Doorstep", which came out earlier that same year. But I like that this story actually has the protagonist be the one trapped inside the body of a Deep One. It makes it much more viscerally horrifying.

Better put extra crunchy Warren chunks in the Horrorbabs' Research & Development department's feed trough. Their toil in fungal grottoes beneath the Delapore Manor is greatly appreciated. Glad the they are outnumbering the rats, too. The Salem Horror is like a lost Lovecraft story. Some of Kuttner's stories seem rushed but when he hits it, it's up there with the best.

I’ve always wondered that myself. Not just on HorrorBabel but many other channels that have no real reason to be down-voted. I almost wonder if the system just automatically assigns a certain number of down-votes to a video after its first couple of up-votes. Like some kind of weird balancing system. It seems the only ones who will ever know are the higher-ups at KZitem and Warren.

14:00 - It's a pity that even the old time writers often got trapped into the familiar narratives and plot devices that screenwriters today use in horror movies; the chief grievance being - namely - poor judgement and bad decisions on the part of the protagonists. 😅
@ezrablock3218
3 жыл бұрын
It's not necessarily a plot device. Scary stories are designed to be morality plays chiefly, so having characters make mistakes is often important to the warning of the work. With that said, stories where the character's don't make any major mistakes but still get murdered or traumatized are usually scarier.
