This is an ORIGINAL HorrorBabble Production.
If I had to guess, the Creeper sounds like one of the monsters from Pickman's Model. Then again, it could be one of the Martense creatures from The Lurking Fear. Both are subterranean carnivores.
“Trees threw their twisted tips to the sky.” Bravo Bloch.
robert bloch is the best alternative to lovecraft that I've found so far
Ian you are the best and have the greatest taste for stories, just these types of classic goth titles get me excited for what ancient thing lurks from beyond, thanks again for your channel, till next time☺
10 minutes in & I am liking this story . Narration is spot on as always!
I'm considering legally changing my name to Rusty Hinges. 18:52
Be sure to think it through carefully, Mark!
What about Dusty Chambers ala The Fire of Ashurbanipal?
I wish that Arkham was a real place. I absolutely love the lore that has been built upon it. I have always imagined wandering into an alternate reality where Arkham *IS* a real place. With Innsmouth right down the road. And the Necronomicon a real book, kept under lock and key a t Miskatonic University...
nickyiil what are you even talking about?
I'm really kind of glad it doesn't. There was some seriously bad ju-ju going on in that town
Arkham was based on real towns. Lovecraft was a bit hyperbolic, but there old towns like this. The one I live in is such one.
Lovecraft :P
it's based on his hometown of Providence, Rhode Island
Your American accent is impressive. Excellent as always Mr. Gordon and Horror Babble. Thank you.
A big man with the neck of a hog - Awesome.
I listened to your other recording of this in one of the Bloch compilations. I like it a lot. This is a good one! This story can be summed up by a few words or phrases - "Karma" and "clean living" come to mind.
Great story and narration.

Love me some Lovecraft fan fic written by his contemporaries.
Less arcane in language and and in reference than Lovecraft, but in Lovecraft"s Universe, that is to say, the Universe in Lovecraft's mind. Very amusing, I enjoyed it muchly.
The best narrator around
Wow. 😲 Great Story, Y'all!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I appreciate how the ambiguity of the "Creeper" is an additional element of horror. 😬
This was a Really good and CHILLING Morality tale as well.
As we say in The South, "If you dig one ditch, you'd better dig two. 'Cause the one you dig for me, just might be for you!"...and BOOOY, did they GET IT in the end! 😬
As always, Bravo, HorrorBabble!
😄😄😄👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯🙌🏾
Agree... great tale of morality.
I like your old Southern saying. In PA, we say, "Dig one for you, too, while you're at it."
☺ Very good story. Ian Jordan's narration is awesome.
Ian Jordan - I love it.
The Best thing about HORRORBABBLE, is that stories from the 1800s and 1900s, are told and the older the better🖤🕷❗👍🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🕷❗also 1700s ,1600s n older 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🕷
Excellent episode
There are some Banquets without toasts.
Really well read, thanks. It's fun to start exploring the other authors involved in the mythos
An awesome tale. Your narration was excellent. I enjoyed this one very much. Thanks again.
Another great story.If you ever get the chance take a trip through Lowell Mass.I'm pretty sure this was lovecraft's model for Arkham.Wonderful reading.
Thanks for the tip John! Ian
Wonderful, this can be tonight's bedtime story!! Perfection as always, thank you very much!!
This was awesome. Loved the story and the gangster horror mashup. Excellent narration as always!
Great reading as always. Thank you, Ian. Bloch wrote Lovecraft as well as Lovecraft....
If find this very poetic at times or maybe I'm just a bit queer when it comes to people describing their surroundings in horror stories. :D I understand that fellow not wanting to see a dead body given it can be an unpleasant experience even without it being turned into a pile of bloody gobbets on the floor. Awesome read like always.
Agreed - I totally get what you are saying. Also, kudos to you for using "queer" here. Let's take the word back, and use it for that which it was was intended for!;)
I'll take gay back as well, I really like that is used in a derogatory manner for anything other than heterosexuality, even I been called that even though I am a bi-romantic trans-woman. It is a strange world out there that is having issues the use of language or lack there of, maybe Aldous Huxley was on to something in Brave New World ?
True. I think it's sad that such fun words as "queer" and "gay"(One of which initially had such a positive meaning) became slurs or insults. Just like how "retarded" and words like that (Some of which were diagnoses) became common insults.
Who's been creepin' in my crypt?
Hazel McGuire Sorry I’ll keep it down in here!
Mr.Beast Rebel of the Hellscape 😄
This guy apparently: vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/elderscrolls/images/0/0a/Creeper.png/revision/latest?cb=20150227143147
The crypts are made for creepin, and that's just what they'll do.
Why is it whenever the line of 'yellow teeth being silent until it hits bone' is played when i listen to this my leg gets a sharp twinge of pain threw it.
a really good story :}. the bad guy gets his heh heh heh 😜
thanks - a terrific reading. really enjoyed this one. not too yucky, just spooky enough. :}
The creeper in the crypt? Sounds like Lord Rothschild counting his sheckles in the basement of his palace
Ian--- THAT was terrifying! Take a Can of Tonya Creole Seasoning when you go in dat cellar hahaha!!
Fantastic reading, as always Ian...love the American accent lol...if only I could master a British accent even half as believable I'd be a happy girl 😊
Ha, it's a work-in-progress - as most things are in life!
I've been searching for this story for about a month now I listen to it when it first came out and I loved it.
, but I forgot the name
Enjoyed that very much. 😊
That lock looks extremely unuseful.
I know this was a while ago, but great reading.
If the pollack character was a polish person an Italian accent has to be THE WORST way to impersonate them hhahahaha
In Arkham ⚡😨
I do hope you will post more of these a little over the top horror stories. They are great..!! I found a 1948 print of an Arkham House publication by Ballantine Books of August Derleth's Not long for this World. With 22 unknown stories, like :Logoda's Heads, The Gold Box, Those Who Seek, The Second Print, A Collector of Stones, to name but a few. Wonder if they still have copyright...?
Thanks Roland! I've got another BLOCH story lined up for Monday - even *he's* more accessible than Derleth. It's a shame really. I think the best course of action for us in the future would be to attempt to establish some sort of relationship with Arkham House.
Great idea, I think it's a shame we can't access the stories ever published in Weird Tales. They published so much writers you hardly hear about today or see in reprints. I have been hoping for years now to come across a Jules de Grandin story by Seabury Quinn. One of the important contributors to Weird Tales. Again, I have no idea about the accessibility of Quinn's stories. But I do have the "Complete Adventures of Jules de Grandin" on PDF. I could send any HorrorBabble enthusiast (who cares to drop me a line) the PDF in a attachment . rowief@tiscali.nl Mention HorrorBabble or Jules de Grandin and I'll send you the PDF. Best of luck and keep those fantastic stories coming.
Thanks Roland - we'll keep working on it. Plenty of time ahead of us yet!
Ian, it is "Pole-lock."
It's been a while since we recorded this one... which word is that, Tom?
@@HorrorBabble You pronounced it like the name Pollock. It this case I believe Righetti was calling the man a pollock (Pole-lock) a derogatory term for people of polish decent.
🔥
Arkoum just drips of twilight phantasms,,if i spelled it wrong,,sorry,,went to libary to pick up a copy of Mountains of Maddness,,not ONE Lovecraft book,,i was told to go online ffs,,not jk btw
Not sure if subjective or not, but everyone else who sound like Lovecraft also sound like an amateur imitating Lovecraft.
+1 for the algo
Your Polish accent needs some work... Not bashing you, it's a *really* hard accent to imitate.
And I *almost* didn't attempt it... *IF* such a character crops up again in the future, I'll give him some extra attention. :) Ian
He’s chinese/polish 😉
Arkham,- where all the ugliest racial stereotypes congregate.
Unfortunately, earlier Victorian writers clearly handed down their classist and racist beliefs.
Joe Rigetti was a bit of a criminal …. who ended up as bits of a criminal 😂. You could quite happily walk around Arkham and pop out from dark corners to shout … “ I’m Batman “ 😂. Everyone would just think you were another nutcase from Innsmouth 😂
A little dark poetic Story. Thanks for that Piece. Good Work.👍
