Fazgoo is the next generation mimic. That’s why it clones people, it’s mimicking them. It’s probably cursed factory slime that’s posessed by ghosts.

(Sorry for the late Tumblr update; Rachel's laptop is attempting to join the happy haunts.)

CONTENT ADVISORY: because the 2023 film version of The Haunted Mansion involves convincing a living soul to die and join the happy haunts, this episode discusses suicide.

Welcome, foolish mortals, to Wonderful World of Darklords! We are your hosts--your podcast hosts. Kindly load the full episode, and make room (on your hard drive) for every byte. There's no turning back now. Unless you stop listening five minutes in, I suppose. There's always that way out...

This episode is primarily drawing on the 2023 Haunted Mansion movie since it has a darklord and a plot, but if you prefer other versions of the Mansion, don't worry; we're incorporating as many as possible. Topics discussed include:

How to give Alistair Crump, a fun but cartoonishly evil villain, an element of tragedy and relatability;

How to essentially turn the Haunted Mansion into Hill House, Hell House, or the Overlook;

Alternate versions of the domain that highlight other ghosts as the darklord or boss, including Ramsley the butler, Constance Hatchaway, Henry Ravenswood, or even Madam Leota;

So, so, SO many mechanics from the older material to represent hauntings;

And more!

sometimes you just want a taste of that poison paradise I guess.

tried out a game called whitestone, it seemed interesting...it was like a dungeon crawler type game with rpg elements. It was so buggy it became unplayable though, like on multiple occasions the game would softlock because some element wouldnt load or a boss would glitch out. One of the more egregious examples was a portion where you were travelling downwards via an elavator, to progress you'd have to periodically leave the elevator to fight enemies...one problem though, once I did this I couldnt get the character back on the elevator...I even tried staying on the elevator as I killed the enemies, but the elevator still wouldnt work. I was only able to progress by letting my character die in that portion for some reason. Its unfortunate, because the story was honestly really interesting. It was focused on this research ship that descended into chaos due to people pursuing forbidden alchemical knowledge and stuff. The characters were honestly pretty endearing, but all those bugs and badly designed levels just made the game completely unplayable....Pretty dissapointed about that.

behold Freddy fast bear. Ok so I did a redraw of the lonely Freddy illustration. I like how the whole thing had goosebump vibes, but specifically revolving around a bear themed pizza chain and its many cursed creations. I used to be really into horror land, which was the goosebump spinoff in the evil theme park. I did redesign the lonely Freddy a bit, like I simplified the body to make it look cuter and I guess cheaper to replace? they apparently just immediately throw these things out instead of cleaning them. This was fun for practice :D.
