@@DevelopingCharacter Part of it is just silliness, which is the main reason I love it, but I assume the reasoning behind the joke is the other authors at the party all became famous during their lifetime, whereas Emily Dickinson was essentially unknown until after her death, so it makes sense that nobody else there would know who she was
jaynaneeya Ahhh, that does make sense. But, what I do like about this series is that I do not get MOST of the literary references and yet it is still enjoyable.
Mine too. Wilde is still around, my other favorite, but for how long? I like Stoker more, but it's a drag without Shelley here as well. Her husband may have a more prolific body of work, but her single novel is more widely known.
Yeah. I've also noticed the treatment of Emily Dickinson's name in every intro is different, even though it is subtle. I hope it means something to the plot.
Oscar's "One must?" made me actually laugh out loud, it caught me so off guard. Also Edgar's "Joke's on you, I love wet willies!" got me. Wish Krishanti could have stuck around longer, she was great. I'm really enjoying the show so far, I'm excited to rewatch it after it's all over so I can see the little clues foreshadowing the murderer that I'm obviously missing :)
I have to say Edger Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party is probably my favorite thing. It's a wonderfully suspenseful and funny delight! You have all outdone yourself.
"She is not able. The past comes into the present. The one who kills for sport. The one who couldn't bring me back. Beware." What if each line refers to someone different?
She is not able - Annabelle maybe being an imposter? The past comes into the present - Lenore? The one who kills for sport - Ernest? He mentioned hunting in the first episode The one who couldn't bring me back - Crishanti
That makes sense-"the one who couldn't bring me back: beware" could be a warning to Krishanti that she's in danger, which we find out is true. He changes where he's looking as he says it, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything because the whole point of his speech is to give clues opaquely.
ernest giving h.g. his alcohol bc he thinks he might be drunkenly hallucinating, only for h.g. to take a drink from it in response to the ghosts, is the funniest gag in this episode so far
Probably just hearing things but it sounded like Lenore's fiancé said "She is not A. Bell" instead of "able". Might be wishful thinking on my part though
Oooooh! I hadn't even considered that! That you for pointing that out. Hmmmm, there are a lot of different ways that I can think of that that could be interpreted.
My friends after great investigation and clue gathering I can determine that the murderer is no other that.... Eddie Dantes. Let's start with clue number one they all had a reason to murder Dantes but at the same time Dantes what'd a reason to kill them all from sport debts to strongly worded poems. We know that every one except Wilde so far had met Dantes before. Clue number two the note in episode three after the writers return to the dinning room there is a note badly written clearly it could not have been written by the authors because they all have big egos. Then there is the tissue with Ana bell initial written on it it can clearly have been a gift from Ana to Dantes. Then there is Wells contraption as we know that Dantes had a knowledge of electronics when he lend Wells money for the time machine claiming it would never work. When the authors where outside the dinning room that would have given Dantes enough time to rewire it. Then how he moves through out the house there is the elevator that connects the basement where the cellar is and the kitchen. That gives him free will to move through out the house. Then there is Agathat Christie and George..... I mean Mary Ann deaths, we know that Dantes killed Agatha because of her expertise at writing and solving mysteries and the parallels to And then there were none knowing this Dantes got out of the house with a knife from where the knifes live and stabbed her several times and as we can see from the bathroom the window was opened that gave Dantes the opportunity to smash the painting onto Mary..... I mean George Elliot head. Then there is the last question wouldn't the gentlemen notice Dantes missing body, and the answer is kind of it is dark in the cellar and they only leave the bodies and then they leave but Ernest stayed a little longer when he grabbed Fyodor vodkas as you can see he gave a suspicious look when he was down there probably noticing Dantes missing body but Ernest ignored that believing that it was the alcohol in motion. And then in this episode there is Dantes missing ghost along side Agatha but agatha missing is likely because she died outside the house, and Dantes missing ghost is due to him not being really dead.
It seems unlikely that Guy de Vere died in the house, particularly since Edgar asks "Wait, who is this?" and I believe that Edgar and Lenore met after Lenore died. Therefore, I wouldn't rule out some fishiness with the lack of appearance from Agatha Christie.
I would also like to point out that Dantes would have been the hardest to kill. He seems to have been pretty clearly poisoned if he did die, and you can't really time poison to kill someone as soon as the lights go out. That murder just doesn't make sense.
yeah i know it was badly prhased, but like at least when i started watching i was so sure they wouldn't change the whole dynamic of the basic characters i guess
then why would she start to scream. I suspect Annabel Lee. She was the only one whom we didn't know where she was when Fjodor was killed (Ernest was fighting Edgar, Lenore and HG were at the attic, George Eliott and Oscar where getting poop al over them and Emily was in the kitchen). Also nobody had black leather gloves when they came in Edgar's house. Exept Annabel and Eddie. We did not see them coming in so she is the only one with Eddie who could have hd gloves.
Weirdly, this is the first time Eliot has a British accent, even though she was actually British. Maybe the American accent was just part of her alter-ego?
It's not too unusual...most of the first phones were installed in kitchen. Notice thought that she looked right, then left to find the phone, as she knew the general room where one would find the phone but not the exact location.
Oh yeah, I forgot about Louisa May Alcott! The characters seem to have forgotten about Agatha Christie's murder. It was kinda in the middle of a bunch of other murders...
Someone on another video commented that she seems to have died of arsenic poisoning, and Victorian wallpaper often had arsenic in it. Louisa would have had the lowest tolerance for breathing in arsenic, because nature. Her death may have just been an accident, then. It wouldn't explain the handkerchief, but it's an interesting idea, so I'm hanging onto it.
Alcott didn't have much going for her, except for the fact that she was derided for her choice in dress and dull social manner, much like Dickinson. I want to see Mr. Dantes and Miss Christie too!
You're probably right about Eddie..very suspicious. However, Agatha wasn't technically killed in the house so it is unsurprising the seance didn't bring her back.
I did think a few episodes back that Agatha was the one helping him but since she "died" I crossed her out. But you are right. Maybe the three of them are in on something
I see-what-you-did-there with the psychic's death (nice parallels with the motorist''s death in Clue!) If we are sticking to this theme, maybe there are multiple murderers? I can't wait for the next episode!
So it *is* an outside force? I was hoping it was one of the original invited characters. Oh well. The story keeps fascinating me more and more! I just pray my precious Emilt makes it out alive!
Firstly the intro had me in absolute stitches, I keep thinking that there is no way that they can top it and they prove me wrong every week. Secondly, is it bad that my first thought when seeing the killer was Phantom of the Opera? Op-POE-ra? My prime suspect now is Oscar purely because height and who else would have a whole extra wardrobe including leather gloves at hand?
Well, that opens up the list of suspects SUBSTANTIALLY! *Alexandre Dumas:* Eddie Dantes sounds like Edmond Dantes. *Jules Verne:* A fan of Poe, didn't like Wells much, wasn't invited. *Arthur Conan Doyle:* Wrote a lot of mysteries, probably knows how to get away w/murder. *Victor Hugo:* Politician.
I think I've figured it out... As I suspected from the start, Eduardo Dantes is actually Edmond Dantes, also known as the eponymous literary character, the Count of Monte Cristo. The Count of Monte Cristo was a character who went from literally the perfect guy (ie. Barbershop Quartet Eddy), to a guy who spent the rest of his life enacting revenge on anyone who had wronged him. As we all know, literally everyone here has some kind of beef with Eddy. No problem while he was alive, but obviously something is up, and Eddy is back, but not as Eddy anymore. As a possible sub-theory, I've noticed the deaths to be similar to character deaths in the authors' novels. Louisa of course died coughing, for dear Beth's sake. Mary Shelley was electrified, perhaps symbolizing her use of electricity to create Frankenstein's monster, quite the killer. Dostoyevsky's most famous work, Crime and Punishment, is all about a guy who kills an old woman with an axe. Agatha Christie could have been killed any number of ways; she was a murder mystery author, but don't worry, she had characters die by multiple stabs in the back. As for Mary Ann... George Eliot is next on my reading list, so I really don't know, but as far as I've heard of her novels, they're not really the death type. I couldn't find any evidence of /any/ literary character dying because of a painting, with the obvious exception being Oscar Wilde's work himself. Perhaps Mary Ann's death was a coincidence, or a red herring? After all, she was actually alive to talk afterwards. Or maybe I was wrong, and Oscar Wilde has been the killer all along. I can't say much of Krishanti's death, I don't really know much about psychics, they freak me out.
I meant to add, it's curious that both Eddy *and* Louisa don't show up in the séance. I can understand Eddy, but why also Louisa? Is she in on this too?
Probably a coincidence, but the only literary "de.Vere" I know of was the guy some people suspect wrote Shakespeare's works. I don't really see a tie in, but interesting to note
At first I thought "OH MY GOSH IT IS SO OBVIOUS IT IS AGATHA EVERYONE!" Then when Agatha was murdered I thought it was Emily as well (especially given the intro now). Then I thought Lenore's fiance's ghost was implying that the psychic was the killer and that the way she left the room proved her guilt but then that seemed unlikely because I thought "how could she have gone around the house unnoticed enough to kill that many people?" (another reason I thought it might be Emily). So now I realize I just have no idea lol.
So now Emily knows who it is... and we know it isn't H.G.Wells, unless he could get to the kitchen really quickly via some shortcut, and that probably also rules out Charlotte Bronte. Anyone who left the room after Edgar Allan Poe, who would definitely know the fastest route inside his own home, is essentially not going to have been able to have done it. This also rules out Ernest Hemingway, who went in a different direction to Edgar, and so would have had to sprint to beat him and Annabel there. As Emily appeared in the same frame as the murderer, she is easily ruled out, so that only leaves Annabel Lee. She left before Edgar and Ernest, and soon enough after Emily that it is possible that she could have made it round to the kitchen before Emily. Also, Lenore could potentially have walked through walls to get there faster? I don't know the full extent of her ability to do something like that.
While this makes a lot of sense, I don't think it was any of the female characters. Unless the females are accomplices. Remember, the person that killed Chrishonte (Is that how you spell her name?) physically overpowered her, and I don't think any of the girls are strong enough to do that. So the murderer has to be male. Not only that, but she looked up at the person doing it, so the culprit is likely taller than her.
It's not necessarily someone who is still alive, or who is in the house. It could have been a woman, though. Even though none of the women here seem to be very physically strong, the psychic lady whose name I can't spell also didn't seem to be strong, so it would make sense.
I agree that its entirely possible that there could be more than one murderer, whether they are working together or not. That seems to be the way the evidence is currently pointing, although it could be one person working very hard to frame other people, such as using Wells' machine to kill Mary Shelley or using a knife to kill Agatha Christie right before Hemingway came back with the knives from the kitchen. I am determined to work it out before the reveal, so i think I'm going to write down a list of everyone who was accounted for during each murder, and try and work out if there is anyone who could have done all of them.
OddUndeniably Honestly, though, I don't think it's possible to say who's accounted for during each murder. The only one I can think of is that Emily can't be the sole murderer. If she's in on it, there has to be someone else. But for every other person, we really can't know.
There are some people who were with other people when some of the murders happened though. Is it bad that I'm hoping for other murders to help with the deductions? Also, I have no idea what Guye de Verre's comment means or if its even going to be related to the murderer.
I suspect Annabel. When George was murdered, Hemingway said that Annabel went to go look for Edgar, and now Annabel leaves to find Krishanti. Then again, this is only from the last two episodes, and I need to rewatch everything again. :P ETA: She also looked around the upstairs by herself for the majority of episode 4, and reappeared right before Dostoevsky's death, also 'finding' the poison on her own.
I have to say though I'm really disappointed with the portrayal of Oscar Wilde - okay for starters, he was Irish. That's an interesting Irish accent there...sounds so ENGLISH! Secondly Oscar Wilde wrote about debauchery and all that bc he was trying to make a point about society but he was such an incredibly intelligent man and in this he's represented as a shallow gossiping fool. I love Oscar Wilde and I wish he had been portrayed a little more true to form in this
+JustAnotherGirl Yes, but they're not going for realistic portrayals of any of the authors, they're presenting them as a silly caricatures for comedic effect. If they were being realistic with them all it would be a lot less funny. So of course Oscar Wilde wasn't really like that, and neither was George Eliot, nor any of the others. It can be hard to turn off the part of your brain that says 'no, that's not accurate', especially about something or someone you're a big fan of, but maybe it will help if you try and remember that these are fictional characters, made up out of whole cloth, and just sort of loosely based on real people, and not really meant to be accurate portrayals of the real people themselves.
I would just like to say: the music in this episode was absolutely superb! It set the atmosphere for Krishanti perfectly and then completely upped the tension at the end! Gorgeous!
I have to say that this is super hilarious, and each week it gets better...however can anyone imagine what the outtakes were like? SO want to see those! :D
For a second I was afraid they would kill off my precious baby H.G. Wells, so I basically screamed "I WILL BOYCOTT THIS ENTIRE SHOW!!" at the screen - not my proudest moment. Also, Oscar gives me life.
"You know, I should mind my own business... but it's so boring compared to other people's." I wish this was around when it was time to make my senior quote!!
Spirits of the Dead is such a great episode!!! Wonderfully directed by William J. Stribling. Loved the camera work, the pacing, and the lighting. So much going on here!! Loved everyone's comic moments!! Love those ghosts!!!
It's really suspicious that Emily didn't scream until the killer was done and gone, I think I would love it if she was a part of it, payback for being ignored and unseen. Yay! Can't wait for next week!
The Annabel is the murderer theory is supported this week by the fact that she was scared about the seance and she followed everyone out the room. Also Emily is probably in cahoots with her. Or maybe her silence was just being smart so she didn't die next. We'll have to wait and see...
the amount of times they took Emily Dickinson's name tag off hahaha
Brilliant
Charity O'Donnell she has a nametag?
Who?
Charity O'Donnell lol
She definitely has something to do with these murders
I'm pretty sure there has never been a funnier or better-executed running gag than everyone ignoring/forgetting about Emily Dickinson
jaynaneeya Okay so now we’re just making up characters

Bread Cat In all honestly I do not get the joke. The execution is in fact funny, but why?

I just really want a show starring Lenore and Oscar Wilde gossiping about everything now.

I didn't realise that the name cards got replaced with Emily's once they died O.O FORESHADOWING!?!
No wait... SHE SAW THE MURDERER!?!
Not necessarily. The murderer is wearing something black, hiding their identity from us and possibly Emily. Krishanti said "you," but who knows.
Oh, I'll have to watch for that detail. Definite foreshadowing from a visual perspective if you are right.
I’m loving the bromance between Ernest and H.G. in this episode
"So, who's with me in saying that Dostoevsky is rocking de dead vibe? Am I right?" i'm crying i love oscar so much... also I totally agree
Did anyone notice Emily Dickinson's name being removed a lot in the intro????
Yes, I love it!
Yeah. I've also noticed the treatment of Emily Dickinson's name in every intro is different, even though it is subtle. I hope it means something to the plot.
Oscar's "One must?" made me actually laugh out loud, it caught me so off guard. Also Edgar's "Joke's on you, I love wet willies!" got me. Wish Krishanti could have stuck around longer, she was great.

Wait... who was that screaming at the end? Is she new?
I think her name was Emilia or something like that
I’m pretty sure her names Irma

I think her name was Emily. Oh wait, I'm thinking of a different Emily....
guys it’s queen elizabeth ii
"She is not able.

What if each line refers to someone different?
She is not able - Annabelle maybe being an imposter?

It really didn't sound like able, but A. Bell would make more sense! I couldn't tell what he was saying at all.
That would make so much sense because he points in Annabel's direction and she's the only one who looks uncomfortable when he starts speaking...
this also has me thinking about the handkerchief with the bell on it
I also think that it could be Annabel, she was also determined to 'accompany' Emily.

Well then what happened to Ms. Alcott? Her soul did not appear.
Miss Alcott is and was one with Nature and peace
How would Lenore's dead fiance know about that, then?
It seems unlikely that Guy de Vere died in the house, particularly since Edgar asks "Wait, who is this?" and I believe that Edgar and Lenore met after Lenore died. Therefore, I wouldn't rule out some fishiness with the lack of appearance from Agatha Christie.

Honestly I love Annabelle but she is being SO suspicious rn... also I mean no one /really/ expects the murderer to be Poe, Annabelle or Lenore
I'm pretty sure half the people watching suspect Annabel
yeah i know it was badly prhased, but like at least when i started watching i was so sure they wouldn't change the whole dynamic of the basic characters i guess
You gotta love them perfectly cut screams
Well I don't see poor Emily living if she saw the murderer
But everyone ignores Emily.
He probably didn't see her as he just walks away instead of killing her too.
She may be working with the murderer.
same
then why would she start to scream. I suspect Annabel Lee. She was the only one whom we didn't know where she was when Fjodor was killed (Ernest was fighting Edgar, Lenore and HG were at the attic, George Eliott and Oscar where getting poop al over them and Emily was in the kitchen). Also nobody had black leather gloves when they came in Edgar's house. Exept Annabel and Eddie. We did not see them coming in so she is the only one with Eddie who could have hd gloves.
im crying at the amount of times they removed Emily’s nametag
So, "the one who couldn't bring me back" seems to be Krishanti. And it was only then that she seemed to realize who the murderer was. Ideas?
Wait.. Krishanti knew where the phone was. WHAT?
Weirdly, this is the first time Eliot has a British accent, even though she was actually British. Maybe the American accent was just part of her alter-ego?
It's not too unusual...most of the first phones were installed in kitchen. Notice thought that she looked right, then left to find the phone, as she knew the general room where one would find the phone but not the exact location.
Zachary Cuba Ah, okay. That makes sense!
I didn't see a ghost of Agatha Christie, Louisa May Alcott, or Eddie Dantes.

Just rewatched. (Ashley's reactions are brilliant at 7:22).
Looks like THE MURDERER is wearing black gloves and cape.
I really do think it's Eddie who faked his own death and I think Annabel is helping him
I think Christie and Eddie are in on it together faking their deaths (I can't help but notice that their spirits weren't summoned)
I agree. Also think Lenore's husband is in there somewhere.
You're probably right about Eddie..very suspicious. However, Agatha wasn't technically killed in the house so it is unsurprising the seance didn't bring her back.
If Annabel is helping him then that is just really messed up and Idk if I would like her anymore :(
I did think a few episodes back that Agatha was the one helping him but since she "died" I crossed her out. But you are right. Maybe the three of them are in on something
This was so delightfully CREEPY. I LOVE IT.
Also Annabel's pockets.
and H.G.'s invention-knitting
the fact that emilys scream got cut of is so funny to me
I see-what-you-did-there with the psychic's death (nice parallels with the motorist''s death in Clue!) If we are sticking to this theme, maybe there are multiple murderers? I can't wait for the next episode!
So it *is* an outside force? I was hoping it was one of the original invited characters. Oh well. The story keeps fascinating me more and more! I just pray my precious Emilt makes it out alive!
Found this show by accident and totally hooked!! Loving Oscar Wilde, Ernest Hemingway, and HG Wells. Especially loving Lenore and Annabelle.
Now me know the true masters of the perfectly cut scream
THIS WAS TOO SHORT GO BACK TO 15 MIN EPISODES THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!
Did anybody else shatter when Guy De Vere appeared?
Lenore, apparently :(
I hate to say it, but I had the exact same reaction as Edgar...
Kayla Gaines I thought he was Dantes, actually
A few weeks ago, I was convinced Guy was the killer, now I'm not so sure. But I do believe that it was a ghost that is the killer.
Hemmingway and poe bumping into eachother in the background at 7:27 is so good ajdjd
“We must not tell her about the murders.”
“Don’t worry, it’s merely the ghosts of those murdered in the last hour...”
Firstly the intro had me in absolute stitches, I keep thinking that there is no way that they can top it and they prove me wrong every week. Secondly, is it bad that my first thought when seeing the killer was Phantom of the Opera? Op-POE-ra? My prime suspect now is Oscar purely because height and who else would have a whole extra wardrobe including leather gloves at hand?
Of course! Rudyard Kipling!😂
Well, that opens up the list of suspects SUBSTANTIALLY!
*Alexandre Dumas:* Eddie Dantes sounds like Edmond Dantes.
*Jules Verne:* A fan of Poe, didn't like Wells much, wasn't invited.
*Arthur Conan Doyle:* Wrote a lot of mysteries, probably knows how to get away w/murder.
*Victor Hugo:* Politician.

Perhaps Mary Ann's death was a coincidence, or a red herring? After all, she was actually alive to talk afterwards. Or maybe I was wrong, and Oscar Wilde has been the killer all along. I can't say much of Krishanti's death, I don't really know much about psychics, they freak me out.
I meant to add, it's curious that both Eddy *and* Louisa don't show up in the séance. I can understand Eddy, but why also Louisa? Is she in on this too?
Probably a coincidence, but the only literary "de.Vere" I know of was the guy some people suspect wrote Shakespeare's works. I don't really see a tie in, but interesting to note
I mean, "the one who kills for sport," totally adds onto the Count of Monte Cristo. Revenge is the game he plays.
guy de vere is bae in e. a. poe's poem "lenore" (www.poemhunter.com/poem/lenore/).
deryn joy Ah, ok. I had read the poem but must have forgotten her lover had a name. Thanks!
I was sure it was Emily but I'm clearly wrong.....now I have no idea!
At first I thought "OH MY GOSH IT IS SO OBVIOUS IT IS AGATHA EVERYONE!" Then when Agatha was murdered I thought it was Emily as well (especially given the intro now). Then I thought Lenore's fiance's ghost was implying that the psychic was the killer and that the way she left the room proved her guilt but then that seemed unlikely because I thought "how could she have gone around the house unnoticed enough to kill that many people?" (another reason I thought it might be Emily). So now I realize I just have no idea lol.
She could be working with the murderer.
rewatching now, there are a few hints that point to Ernest but i'm not 100% convinced yet.
Emily could be in on it, screaming would make her seem innocent. I mean, she waited until the murderer left.
I was thinking the same thing
I love how krishanti can tell there is a ghost but then is suprised when it appears/lh
This series makes me so happy. :D

So now Emily knows who it is... and we know it isn't H.G.Wells, unless he could get to the kitchen really quickly via some shortcut, and that probably also rules out Charlotte Bronte. Anyone who left the room after Edgar Allan Poe, who would definitely know the fastest route inside his own home, is essentially not going to have been able to have done it. This also rules out Ernest Hemingway, who went in a different direction to Edgar, and so would have had to sprint to beat him and Annabel there. As Emily appeared in the same frame as the murderer, she is easily ruled out, so that only leaves Annabel Lee. She left before Edgar and Ernest, and soon enough after Emily that it is possible that she could have made it round to the kitchen before Emily. Also, Lenore could potentially have walked through walls to get there faster? I don't know the full extent of her ability to do something like that.
While this makes a lot of sense, I don't think it was any of the female characters. Unless the females are accomplices. Remember, the person that killed Chrishonte (Is that how you spell her name?) physically overpowered her, and I don't think any of the girls are strong enough to do that. So the murderer has to be male. Not only that, but she looked up at the person doing it, so the culprit is likely taller than her.
It's not necessarily someone who is still alive, or who is in the house. It could have been a woman, though. Even though none of the women here seem to be very physically strong, the psychic lady whose name I can't spell also didn't seem to be strong, so it would make sense.
I agree that its entirely possible that there could be more than one murderer, whether they are working together or not. That seems to be the way the evidence is currently pointing, although it could be one person working very hard to frame other people, such as using Wells' machine to kill Mary Shelley or using a knife to kill Agatha Christie right before Hemingway came back with the knives from the kitchen.
I am determined to work it out before the reveal, so i think I'm going to write down a list of everyone who was accounted for during each murder, and try and work out if there is anyone who could have done all of them.
OddUndeniably Honestly, though, I don't think it's possible to say who's accounted for during each murder. The only one I can think of is that Emily can't be the sole murderer. If she's in on it, there has to be someone else. But for every other person, we really can't know.
There are some people who were with other people when some of the murders happened though. Is it bad that I'm hoping for other murders to help with the deductions? Also, I have no idea what Guye de Verre's comment means or if its even going to be related to the murderer.
I always lol when Ernest hands his flask over to H.G. Like, "YEAH YOU NEED THIS FAM I GOT YOU.'
ok but the way krishanti looked behind her, said 'you' and then got strangled, if that wasnt a clue reference i have nothing left to live for
I suspect Annabel. When George was murdered, Hemingway said that Annabel went to go look for Edgar, and now Annabel leaves to find Krishanti. Then again, this is only from the last two episodes, and I need to rewatch everything again. :P ETA: She also looked around the upstairs by herself for the majority of episode 4, and reappeared right before Dostoevsky's death, also 'finding' the poison on her own.
Protect Emily and HG at at costs please.
The pause before the scream was amazing
Oh wow the music is EXTRA fantastic in this episode! Actually everything is EXTRA fantastic!
Thanks!~
HOW DOES THIS FUCKING MASTERPIECE ONLY HAVE 41,000 VIEWS
Big mood
Maybe it's just me, but I really think the thing with Emily's name card is just a Red Herring.
I agree.
This just keeps getting better!
Btw, the min 7:26 with Joey and Sean was hilarious xD
I simply ADORE OSCAR WILDE!!!! What is his real name? I want to follow him in social media. I love him.
His real name is Tom DeTrinis and he is amazing and we love him too! His twitter is @teedetee and his instagram is @detrinis.
I think Oscar's the murderer, he was sitting next to Eddie and was absent during dostevitskys murder. Or it could be Annabelle

I have to say though I'm really disappointed with the portrayal of Oscar Wilde - okay for starters, he was Irish. That's an interesting Irish accent there...sounds so ENGLISH! Secondly Oscar Wilde wrote about debauchery and all that bc he was trying to make a point about society but he was such an incredibly intelligent man and in this he's represented as a shallow gossiping fool. I love Oscar Wilde and I wish he had been portrayed a little more true to form in this
+JustAnotherGirl Yes, but they're not going for realistic portrayals of any of the authors, they're presenting them as a silly caricatures for comedic effect. If they were being realistic with them all it would be a lot less funny. So of course Oscar Wilde wasn't really like that, and neither was George Eliot, nor any of the others. It can be hard to turn off the part of your brain that says 'no, that's not accurate', especially about something or someone you're a big fan of, but maybe it will help if you try and remember that these are fictional characters, made up out of whole cloth, and just sort of loosely based on real people, and not really meant to be accurate portrayals of the real people themselves.
lauren lopez appears for like five seconds but she's so cute without the mustache and accent too shes just such a cute person
I'm so happy as a starkid fan and a fan of the Lizzie Bennet diaries about the casting
"Yes, yes, yes, we understand, you are all very verbose, now get to the point--this is why I despise writers" AND ERNEST SAYS IT I'M GAGGED
Next time on "How Many Times Can We Forget About Emily Dickinson?"... lol
The way the music swells during ermas monologue is so good and adds so much to it
Emily's added and removed and then added and removed AGAIN o,o
I would just like to say: the music in this episode was absolutely superb! It set the atmosphere for Krishanti perfectly and then completely upped the tension at the end! Gorgeous!
Thanks!~
I'm obsessed with the opening credits. They are fantastic every time.
Best.Birthday.Present.Ever
A very happy birthday to you!
Maybe it was Eddie! He didn't come back in the seance! So he's not really dead!
Happy birthday!
OMG, today is my birthday too! So I guess happy birthday to us!! Also, I couldn't agree more.
It's also my birthday!
I really thought the "next on" clip would just be a continuation of Emily screaming
The moment of Erma standing up then tripping to stand up again never gets old. It is just so clever haha
I have to say that this is super hilarious, and each week it gets better...however can anyone imagine what the outtakes were like? SO want to see those! :D
This is starting to remind me of a Victorian-era Clue, and I am loving it =)
For a second I was afraid they would kill off my precious baby H.G. Wells, so I basically screamed "I WILL BOYCOTT THIS ENTIRE SHOW!!" at the screen - not my proudest moment. Also, Oscar gives me life.
the running gag of ignoring emily dickinson is the best. Also... new suspect is Annabel lee
"You know, I should mind my own business... but it's so boring compared to other people's." I wish this was around when it was time to make my senior quote!!
Lenore and Oscar’s friendship based on roasting others’ fashion sense is the best.
I love this series even more every week.
i already miss george mary anne elliot 😔 and her dynamic with oscar
This whole series is pure gold I love it so much
I love that you cut the final scene just as Emily screams. Brilliant! I love this series!
I love that they remove those who have been killed off from the series on the intro, it just lets you know who's still alive.....or so to speak.
Charlotte Bronte's sneeze was very suspicious--just saying
Thank the Lord I read Crime and Punishment, or else I would NOT have understood what the ghosts were doing. Great book
Spirits of the Dead is such a great episode!!! Wonderfully directed by William J. Stribling. Loved the camera work, the pacing, and the lighting. So much going on here!! Loved everyone's comic moments!! Love those ghosts!!!
Curt is making me cry, and this is not okay
"The one who kills for sport" 5:24
my birdbrain imediatly went "Shia laBeouf"
It's really suspicious that Emily didn't scream until the killer was done and gone, I think I would love it if she was a part of it, payback for being ignored and unseen. Yay! Can't wait for next week!
PERFECTLY cut scream
The Annabel is the murderer theory is supported this week by the fact that she was scared about the seance and she followed everyone out the room. Also Emily is probably in cahoots with her. Or maybe her silence was just being smart so she didn't die next. We'll have to wait and see...
First, and I bet the ravens did it

Poe has been secretly training them.
