I happened on this channel only a week ago, and already it's one of my favourites. I didn't know I needed dark fiction in my life and now I can't do without it. Fantastic narration. Fantastic stories. Thank you.
@@blu_maboo enjoy! The Silver Key stories continue Randolph Carter's story although I'd save them for later they aren't Lovecraft's best. If you want to read the Cthulhu mythos stories that inform Black Kiss, Dagon is an appetizer and The Shadow Over Innsmouth is one of my favorites. The Call of Cthulhu is related, too, and a banger :)
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.
@@panzerjagear The Statement of Randolph Carter. Ian just re-recorded it. It is very short and very Lovecraft :) I'd recommend The Festival alongside it. In my head it sketches out who is giving the Warren Update!
@@panzerjagear I'm not sure reading too many spooky stories counts as enlightenment :). Thank Ian his narration is the best. Lovecraft's work is free online in text, too, I needed it to understand the gibbous squamous-ness of it all :)
Nothing like a Bloch tale to conclude my workday, he can bring me to laugh and fear for my life like no other. Kuttner and Bloch together??! Now I must hear this
Absolutely riveting. The abstract and the real merging, captivating and ultimately redeeming the protagonist. Beautiful story, marvelous reading. Thank you.
Gorgeous, I always get my inky-black Horror Babble cup and fill it with inky-black liquid (coffee that is) to enjoy these stories... Bring on Warren (or maybe not!).
everyone loves you, Ian and i’m not even jealous. LOL 🌷😛 but, as we all listen to your readings, we imagine our own images and feelings and no one can take that illusion away :) 🎭
That is not dead which sleeping lies... ...and in strange aeons even death may die! Warren is coming back I tell you. They said I was mad but I'll show them hahahahahaha....er. pardon me.
Thank you Ian for your nightly tales. When I wake up late at night my brain starts up immediately. I just put on The Fire of A. and I get lost, Yar and Steve sooth my squirrel brain and I am soon sleeping again in the lost city of R'lyeh. Warmest Regards, Raven
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 TH-cam and Warren.
Indeed! Get out of my head!!! I don't comment often on anything, but I hit the comments button to make the exact same statement. Some stories are better than others, but that's only because of personal tastes. Seems no place is safe from miserable jack offs.
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’d love to know how they arrived at this common theme. I’d guess it was maybe somewhat from run ins with grungy sailors. Maybe just a halarious aversion to sea life. 5 🌟z.
That's a happy discovery, looking forward to more of these guys and all the catching up I have to do. There's nothing creepier when out on the water than seeing unidentifiable shapes in the water, until they brush up against you and the you step on...something. ...And then there's THIS, aw HELL NO!
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. 😅
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.
@@ezrablock3218 I was merely making a humorous observation. In reality I have come to love the work of Robert Bloch. But I do agree 100% with your statement.
You fool! Warren is dead.....dead serious about the savings you can make at Randolphs House of Dreams! Sale on now! Keep up the good work fella and stay safe!
Okay, i'm confused. The sea horror, as i believe it was called, ejected marela from its body after her own body died, according to the story. So she was left wirh out a body. So how did she suddenly come to have the body of one of these things if she was homeless, as the story goes? I don't get it.
Locals pronounce it: San Peedro. Of course, only people that live in San Pedro, California cringe every time they hear it pronounced incorrectly. Just sayin.

Fantastic narration.
Fantastic stories.
Thank you.
You fool! Lovecraft is dead!
Listen to The Statement of Randolph Carter if you are wondering who Warren is :)
@@Wombats555 Thank you! That will be my listening material tonight 😊

You’re me a little over a year ago, I’m still stuck here
definitely one of my favorite channels as well, the narration is superb.

Warren status check complete. My day may proceed.
Dead as a doornail but oddly chatty on the phone.
Hate to be a rookie, but which story is he referencing in the intro? I’ve always wanted to listen to it

@wombats555 thank you! I appreciate your courtesy shown towards my own ignorance as well

Yes please more Bloch and Kuttner in the future
I love the character voices, it lends so much to the already awesome narration! Thank you!
What an incredible story! I loved the ending!!!! Thanks as always, we appreciate you and keep it up Ian!!!
Oh hi I'm saving this one for tonight when it's peaceful!
Nothing like a Bloch tale to conclude my workday, he can bring me to laugh and fear for my life like no other. Kuttner and Bloch together??! Now I must hear this

Fantastic story! Excited for many more to come!
Gorgeous, I always get my inky-black Horror Babble cup and fill it with inky-black liquid (coffee that is) to enjoy these stories... Bring on Warren (or maybe not!).
I've read this story before, it's marvelous. You can't beat Bloch and Kuttner. Excellently told! Thank you!
These sea tales are great! Definitely my favorites, as the ocean is naturally creepy.
Wonderful story and wonderfully reading. Great job as always, Ian
I see Robert Bloch and instantly click!
"Bring it on." In this accent was really a treat.
wow really great story thanks for sharing, was hooked the whole time! also excellent narration as always
That was one of the most interesting stories I've heard. I loved it. I hope to hear more from them.
Truly a great prize. Wonderful narration.
Absolutely superb! Now that is some kiss! 😘
Bloch & Kuttner together are a fine example of synergy in art. Please do read more of them.
Awesome, thanks so much....!
Very cool !
This one is quite good. Straight to the point. Reminds me of some more modern horror films.
aloha 🌺 mahalo for this gem 💎
looking forward to your readings of more writings by Bloch &/or Kuttnet
More tales? Yay!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 loved it
Thank you so much Ian. Going through a trial separation and gems like these keep me sane. Lee
All the best, Lee.
@@HorrorBabble thank you. Didn’t expect a comment from your good selves. You are helping loads of people. Thanks again
Both of my favorites!! Thanks!!
everyone loves you, Ian and i’m not even jealous. LOL 🌷😛
but, as we all listen to your readings, we imagine our own images and feelings and no one can take that illusion away :) 🎭
What a very clever story- fabulous twist to the tale!
Warren gets more comments than the story. LOL Thanks, as always. I always look forward to your offerings.
That is not dead which sleeping lies...
...and in strange aeons even death may die!
Warren is coming back I tell you. They said I was mad but I'll show them hahahahahaha....er. pardon me.
'More Robert Bloch ' is just what i want to hear...
Thank you Ian for your nightly tales. When I wake up late at night my brain starts up immediately. I just put on The Fire of A. and I get lost, Yar and Steve sooth my squirrel brain and I am soon sleeping again in the lost city of R'lyeh. Warmest Regards, Raven
I’d like to know who is persistently giving a thumbs down for every video you put up… I’d give them a piece of my mind 🤺
I bet it's Warren.

Bloch AND Kuttner!? Hooooo boy~ *gets the popcorn*
Great story, and very excited to hear of the further Block stories that will be available.
The description of the creature really reminds me of Kos from Bloodborne.
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.
Great story! Thank you ❤
Bloch AND Kuttner? Awesome!
More of this?! Yes!!!!!
Good stuff
I love your narration man its awesome
I’d love to know how they arrived at this common theme. I’d guess it was maybe somewhat from run ins with grungy sailors. Maybe just a halarious aversion to sea life. 5 🌟z.
Oh this is going to be good!
More stories available? Bring it on GM!

Poor Warren I knew him well....💀
Read on...I'm ready.
👍 here’s another thumbs up, i can only like it once lol

Bear in mind that these stories were written well before those "devices" became cliche.
I have a serious issue with your content. There just isn’t enough of it. Keep up with the good work my friend 🥃
Brilliant choice! very happy you have picked this one its a fun one isn't it? :)
bring it on! yes!
Thanks
Great story only made better by the narration.
🙌 *INFU€KINGCREDIBLE!!* 🙌
Robert Bloch the best!
welp that plan fell into the water guess she underestimated the marine to terra transition.
Who thumbs flown such cool content and narration?
This would make such a cool mivie
You fool! Warren is dead.....dead serious about the savings you can make at Randolphs House of Dreams! Sale on now!
Keep up the good work fella and stay safe!

So how did she suddenly come to have the body of one of these things if she was homeless, as the story goes? I don't get it.
This story turns the myth of a beautiful mermaid into a nightmare of a serpent from the depths.🌊🐍
How long has warren been dead for?
A long, long time... Or so we've heard...
I really like the "You Fool! Warren is DEAD" merch 🤓
Good on Dean. He got the best ending he could have hoped for at that point
For a different perspective play the charming adventure game/walking simulator "Call of the Sea".
Great story Ian thank you so much Warren is dead
Is “Psycho” in the public domain?
I haven’t read that Bloch classic
I don't think it is, Toby.
@@HorrorBabble thanks 🙏🤦🏻♂️
Im kinda disappointed he didnt get his body back but at least he got that nasty thing back
Honk if Warren is dead
~~ ROTFL ~~ :)
Now there's a bumper sticker.
i'd be somewhat disappointed if this is not considered an actual, canonical Mythos tale
The Salem Horror could be.
HorrorBabble narrated it.
Kuttner writing solo.
0:05
And then she kissed me
Humanoids From The Deep anyone?
