Gargoyles peer down at us from buildings, pop up on our TV screens, and exist within the fantasy worlds of role-playing games but do you know where they originated from?
Before these stoney grotesques became monsters they were just water spouts. We still adorn our buildings with the carvings and sculptures of the frightening, funny, and exaggerated forms-but why? Learn all about the strange history of the gargoyle monster and how the power of imagination turned some odd looking architecture into a legendary creature. #gargoyles #Gothic #MonstrumPBS

The world is full of monsters, myths, and legends and Monstrum isn’t afraid to take a closer look. The show, hosted by Emily Zarka, Ph.D., takes us on a journey to discover a new monster in each new episode. Monstrum looks at humans' unique drive to create and shape monster mythology through oral storytelling, literature, and film and digs deep into the history of those mythologies.

One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age of gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night, We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and we live again! We are defenders of the night! We are Gargoyles!
Jalapeno!
Is it a cartoon reference
To the animated cartoon gargoyles

Thank you it’s been a while
Darth Vader is on the Washington National Cathedral that I always thought was a gargoyle but looking it up now it's actually a grotesque.
maccabeeodin in middle school, I went to a school trip to NYC and Washington DC, and I remember the tour guide pointing out Darth Vader for us.
It technically is a gargoyle. It diverts water.
@@davidnotonstinnett it doesn't divert water. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darth_Vader_grotesque
maccabeeodin The Darth Vader grotesque is one of many grotesques that are part of the National Cathedral's rain control system. The grotesques deflect rainwater by bouncing it off the tops of their heads and away from the stone walls.[3]
From the first paragraph of your link
It'd be interesting if Vader was a gargoyle (as in, water flowing through and out his mouth), and perhaps a difficult design quandary: since his mouthpiece is shaped like grating, how do you carve so many narrow slits out of stone?
Heck, I don't even know how they hollow out *regular* gargoyles.
“I’m losing to a bird!”
As someone with a rescue pigeon...this hits differently now 😄-*Dr. Z*
I see you are a man of culture too
Ah yes... the “best” representation of the gargoyles.
Happy to find another Lindsay Ellis fan in the comments!!
I was sure i was going to find this comment
It’s October, this channel is at the peak of its power.
Do you eat bones
The stars are starting to line up...
Fun fact: Dr. Z grows fangs every year.
They fall on november 1st as long as she gives out candy on halloween.
eertikrux May I present to you the Monstrum poem. Ahem!
The pumpkins glow a yellow orange blaze, the full moon rises upon the night skies.
Hands begin to pop out of the graves, coming out are a horde of undead guys.
Meanwhile in a church from Pennsylvania, its creature-like water spouts begin to crumble.
Fangs are exposed like your typical vampires, the monster wakes with a sound of rumble.
In a land of supernatural creatures called Yokai, one of these monsters comes out its cave.
A beauty on the outside but a horror on the inside, it’s got young samurai flesh to crave.
Up in the mountains of the Himalayas, a familiar face wanders around.
It’s like Bigfoot but covered in snow, and extremely hard to be found.
What are these monsters doing here you’d ask? Well to put it simply, it’s the month of Halloween!
And they’re all here to celebrate a time so spooky and fun, now you understand what I mean!
Now join us as we explain all these monsters, from unknowns of the sea to nasty fox tricksters.
And if you’re too scared to come along, Emily Zarka will say to you this line:
“Don’t worry, they’re just..........monsters.“
666 likes.. Ill make it 667 then! :D
At the stroke of midnight, on October first.. Dr. Z's eyes snapped open. Her body floating 4 feet above the bed... slowly, there rose a chuckle, then a giggle, then a guffaw... and finally a full blown peal of evil laughter... causing the entire neighborhood to cower under their covers. Once again... her time had come!
* thunder rumbles in the distance *
Do you like make books or something i was deeply interested in your writing there
The gargoyles sitting at my window in a rainy day:May I come in?I will fly you to work tomorrow
ME: “I wonder if they’ll mention the Gargoyles cartoon?”
Emily shows up wearing a Gargoyles t-shirt
ME: 😍
Terry Pratchett's Discworld features what has to by my favourite (and possibly best thought out) depiction of gargoyles; as a sub-species of troll that's adapted to an urban environment, colonising the rooftops of crumbling stone edifices, subsisting on mineral rich rainwater strained through their ears and out their mouths, along with any inattentive pigeons, and deriving mild entertainment from the hustle and bustle of the city below.
Wow what book is that?
@@sianavassileva403 They appear in several of the later novels. Pretty sure they´re in Going Postal (they´re really good at sitting still and observing, so great for the clacks). and one even ends up in the Watch.
i love the fact they speak as if water or air is rushing through their mouths too.
I have got to expand my portfolio of Terry Pratchett‘s works!! That sounds so in depth!! Gargoyles would definitely be observers sustaining themselves on rainwater! And, And!! Turning to immobile stone during the day I presume. There is so much nuance in that!
@@AndorRadnai Day-active trolls actually use sunscreen in Ankh-Morpork XD
I loved that Gargoyles animated series, I used to watch all the episodes on Saturday morning, I was so sad when it stopped airing... What a shame
There is rumors now that a live action movie or series is in development with Jordan Peele behind the production.
Agreed, but it is on Disney+ now. Literally the only reason I signed up!
1000 year ago, superstion and the sword ruled. It was an age of myth and age or fear. IT WAS THE AGE OF GARGOYLES!
I was at work. Someone was drawing instead of working.. told me about show where pic came from...got curious then hooked. Watched until went off air.. brought dvds. Stopping at season,2p1 .p2 wasnt available.Yrs ltr finally got it disney direct. This was probly one of the best.animated series. Of 90s and dis. I even managed to get the first few comics from 2000s...
Me too. One of the best 90 cartoons.
Seeing the title of this vid, I was like: " if the Alien gargoyle isn't mentioned in this video, it isn't a good video and I will dislike a Monstrum video for the first time ever"
Thank you for the clean sweep of likes on your videos!
Same, but with the Darth Vader grotesque for me. :)
I won't dislike the video, but I was waiting for the Gargoyles from "I, Frankenstein" to be mentioned, since like the animated ones, they are protectors.
Except she missed the gargoyle weeping angels...
To me, it actually looks like a Blue Eyes White Dragon.
"Gargoyles protect. It is our nature. Our purpose. To lose that is to become empty. Corrupt. Lifeless..." - Goliath, "Gargoyles: Reawakening"
Who else wants to be a gargoyles
"Molesting Them with its gaze while still technically preserving Their chastity." now that's just pure awkwardness
Yeah, I'm really, really confused about what that sentence means.
He... gave them a dirty look?
@@edisonlima4647 Likely linked to the "evil eye" belief common to the era, that a look could curse or otherwise bring injury to someone. Today, we call it the "male gaze."
"Humans call me Goliath"
As an art historian, I am ssssooo glad you said gargoyles can be grotesques, but not all grotesques are gargoyles! Thank you! If it does not gurgle, it's not a gargoyle!
The Disney Gargoyle's shirt made this even more perfect!
Given the presence of Weird Tales in this episode I have to say that I’d love to see you guys do an episode on the monsters of the Cthulhu mythos and other Lovecraft stories.
I'm sure they will, one day
+
And I as well
Weird Tales is a treasure trove for new Monstrum material. The Curse of Yig would be an extraordinary story to explore, but the crazy vampires, shape shifters, and outsiders that WT brought to life is a nearly endless list!
Ahh cosmic horror :)
“They see us, but we don’t see them.” There was a movie (in the 1980s I believe) and I cannot remember if it was Tales From the Dark Side or Outer Limits, but there was a gargoyle story as on of the segments in it. A female gargoyle falls in love with a human man, they get married and have two kids. All is well until he finds out exactly what his wife and kids are... It has been years since I’ve seen it, so I can’t say for sure how it ended. At any rate, this movie is what gave me my love for the gargoyles and the grotesques!
That's easy, Tales From the Dark Side movie Lover's Vow, that female gargoyle kills the guy for breaking his vow to never reveal what he saw or describe its appearance to anyone.
I don't want to be "that guy" but I thought you might like to know or find interesting that, the story is a straight up lift of one of the tales of the Yuki-Onna from Japanese folk lore.
@@GhengisJohn what was that tale called from the Japanese folk lore?
@@GhengisJohn How much of it?
Because if is just the "fell in love with mythical creature in disguise, made a vow to them, lived a happy marriage for years and had kids, broke the vow, tragedy ensues", that is an universal element of most folklores, be it Portuguese, Swedish, Brazilian, German...
@@edisonlima4647 I don't understand the intent of your post. Do you feel defensive towards the segment because you like it or is it that you genuinely don't know? I feel like the attempt to boil things down to the vaguest possible themes is very deliberate. "a vow" for instance, instead of specifically "a vow to silence" or "tragedy ensues" as opposed to specifically "the lover is revealed to be a deadly monster". But giving you the benefit of the doubt here I can tell you that it's basically the whole thing and a lot of specifics. From meeting the creature first in it's monstrous form as opposed to first encountering it in disguise, to the aforementioned vow being one of silence, to the outcome of the broken vow.
Shadowhawk28 The specific version is _supposedly_ the one in Lafcadio Hearn's Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things, titled simply "Yuki-onna".
In Discworld, Gargoyles are related to Trolls, who in Discworld are made of rocks. Several are actually in the employ of the Ank-Morpork police because of their ability to watch over everything and stand perfectly still for hours. But, they evolved thus ability basically to trick pigeons into landing in their mouths.
Constable Downspout ftw!
Someday, I will adorn my gutters with over-the-top gargoyles inspired by the monsters from this series!
Awesome!
I'm imagining your house as perfectly normal but with these huge, ornate gargoyles ...and a bell tower
"It was the age of gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years..."
Wow, really brings back fond memories!
For the first time, Disney produced Dark and Brooding Gargoyles. Too bad it was cancelled
Well , it’s back now in comic form!
I like to use these videos to sleep. Not because they are boring but because her voice is so clear that it is relaxing
Thanks Doctor Zarka. This was interesting.
Nice Goliath Shirt.
Loved the Xenomorph gargoyle! That's an outstanding stonemason bringing a modern horror to the structural architecture of olden times. Brilliant.
Holy crap! LOVE LOVE LOVE the T-shirt!!
Right?!
Same. I love Doc will talk about recent pop culture rather than turn her nose up from it. Love this series.
A gargoyle story wearing gargoyle T-shirt
I waaaaant it.
I need some gargoyles merch
The story of the NASA gargoyle is a fascinating one. Maybe they do exist after all. Or maybe not who knows.
And that, as they say, is that
I mean...they dont exist.
@@Douglas_Props yeah they do they are water spouts bro!!!!
the sculptures may have been modeled on real winged humanoids
@@Douglas_Props You must be fun at parties.
Gargoyles are my favorite creatures after the Loch Ness Monster and above the Mokele Mbembe. I love their protector status and how Gargoyles raised the lore to an amazing level
Goliath, Demona, Angela, Brooklyn, Broadway, Lexington, Bronx and Hudson...Love those Gargoyles.
My interpretation of the Hunchback gargoyles was that they were a projection of the emotions Frollo taught Quasimodo to bury. He justified his desire to escape the tower by telling himself it was what the gargoyles wanted.
I reckon there's some serious psychological themes going on with the gargoyles in that movie imo. Everything in that film is so dark that the gargoyles are necessary to lighten the mood for the children. And even then I think they're a result of his extreme loneliness and emotional abuse.
That’s the interpretation the stage musical uses. You should check it out if you haven’t already, it really slaps!
The ironic thing is that the chimeras/grotesques of Notre-Dame were added in the mid-19th century restoration by Viollet-le-Duc because of the fame of Victor Hugo's novel.
oh my god i love the gargoyles shirt!
Me too!
Thus descends down the from the rooftop, a creature carved from stone. Thought to be but a statue, but given life by some dark elemental magics. The creature stares onwards with glaring red eyes that only shine when it views its prey. Itself an ironic existence, a being of stone that flies cannot be logical, yet it not only exists, it also terrifies. Swiftly into the night sky, the prey is whisked away. The person is unable to let out an audible cry as the Gargoyle flies off into the night amongst the cityscape, the rain masking its departure. The next morning a chimney sweep will find the discarded remains amongst the smokestacks of the cathedral and think none the wiser as the monstrosity stalks again the next evening.
Gargoyles was definitely my favorite cartoon when I was a kid. I remember watching it everyday after school.
Somehow I knew Goliath from Gargoyles would make an appearance... wasn’t expecting it to be on the Dr’s Top.
Nice top though.
I love Gargoyles! Got a large collection around my home. Perfect B-Day present - thank you!!!! 🎂
P.S. Love the t-shirt 👍
Happy birthday!-*Dr.Z*

Please do a video on the Lich lore!
It's a good idea. But it's not going to happen.
@@Demolitiondude Why you think so?
@@MauM. two reasons.
1. Suggested werewolves and mummies at episode one and nothing.
2. Political bias.
Paladin Demo political bias? Explain how Lich has political bias..
I 22 it
You left out Terry pratchett's Discworld gargoyles, who are basically cops and security guards
It's true.
I heard that story from a audio book!🐱
You just reminded me how much I _love_ the Disney gargoyle series
Literally when ever I hear gargoyles I hear "one thousand years ago"
Thank you so much for making this video! 😺😻
Two more depictions of gargoyles that werent in the video:
There is a town hall in Northern Germany somewhere that has figures of officials of a rival town (i think) in less then charming positions :D
The Gargoyles on Terry Pratchetts Discworld cant close their mouths, and thus cant make any sounds that require them to do so. Makes for a very interesting language (espacially if you try to read it as a non native speaker :D)
Gargoyles was a GREAT movie! The scene where he pops up at the foot of the bed always scares the crap outta me! Good show!
As a person who grew up with the 1990's Gargoyles TV Show, it's fun to see how previous iterations influenced the lore of the show. Examples: Reynard being the main character of the novel --> In the show Halcyon Reynard being one of the characters that faces off against, and later becomes an ally with, the Gargoyles. And with Reynard meaning "Fox", his daughter going by the name of Fox. Additionally, it seems that the show from the 1970's influenced the fact that Gargoyles traditionally live in caves and that their children hatch from eggs.
that is a very cool t-shirt, loved that cartoon. If you haven't read him try the late Terry Pratchett's take on on gargoyles in a world where magic causes evolution
Isn't there disagreement on their origins? In one of the early Vimes/Watch books they're discribed as a subspecies of troll/urban trolls, which have evolved to survive on the nutrients strained out of the rain water that runs through them (like whales/basking sharks, I always think) with a side helping of pigeon whenever they get the chance.
I don't recall the magic stuff being a confirmed alternative. But I always welcome any excuse to revisit the Disc! 😁
Her shirt makes me feel very nostalgic
I love your shirt. And gargoyles are awesome!
I love these videos! My grandfather would have also greatly approved, he had a saying by which he judged many things. If it was not up to scratch he would say 'Too many words and not enough monsters'. Definitely lots of monsters here :)
Since you've now brought up hellhounds in this video, would that one be next?
Just been binging on your past Monstrum episodes will each and every one as good as the last.
I love the way that you narrate each video, giving emotion and suspense where needed.
You do a fantastic job with the videos and I appreciate all the hard work that you put into making each one.
I love that shirt, Doctor Z!!!! "Gargoyles" was one of my favourite shows growing up :)
I like the idea that gargoyles are benevolent protectors, sort of like a reverse fallen angel. A rising demon, if you will.
Oh my i love your T-shirt I used to watch that cartoon as a kid😊
One of my favourite monster!! Truly enjoyed this episode
Mine, also!
Okay the "Alien" gargoyle is cool. 😊😊😊😊
OMG Doc Z! I want your Gargoyles t-shirt soooooooooooo bad!
I was just literally about to check if there's a new update. 💕
LOVE THE SHIRT!
The absolute perfect shirt to wear for this video and that show is the main reason why I’m watching this. Love it!
That short is excellent!!
Was this your Halloween / October project? Excellent! So creative :) thank you!
Also.... gotta say, freaking love the shirt. On point as ALWAYS with the outfit ;)
Oh no. There’s so much more to come!-*Dr.Z*
Storied ahhh I love you guys!! Thank you so much! October is the best month 🎃👻🎃
You might want to re-watch that episode of Doctor Who, because I'm not aware of the Doctor ever killing the Master. As I recall, the Doctor's friend's willingness to sacrifice herself caused a creature the Master was trying to make a deal with to self-destruct.
Also, I like you choice of shirts.
This is so awesome~! Thank you so much!
LOVE the shirt by the way!
I literally gasped when I saw your shirt. Very jealous.
surely there must have been some link before Dr. Who's "the daemons" since they recognized the idea of the gargoyle coming to life. Since it was recognized as part of the trappings of the very occult oriented adventure.
It would seem like maybe something from Hammer films.
Thanks for the new content! And love the shirt!
Haha! Way to rock the Gargoyles T-shirt! I must say I've battled D&D gargoyles since around 1979!
DOUBLE POINTS FOR THE GOLIATH T SHIRT!!!
One of the best animated series ever... aka Gargoyles: The Next Generation...
I thought the word "gargoyle" came from the word "gargle," as in the sound made when water pours from their spouts. Also, Doctor Who had a gargoyle story? I'll have to check that out.
Both gargle and gargoyle are derived from the same French origin. :)
Can somebody remember the cartoon series "gargoyles" 🤔🙂
me. i loved it.
I can
I do.
Who doesn’t?!
@@lennyfais5040 what you said
😍I love that you're wearing a Gargoyles shirt for this episode!😍
Love that you had the "Gargoyles" TV series shirt on during this video, it's such a good show
One of my favorite modern interpretations is in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books, where the city watch figured out that a creature who’s perfectly happy sitting unmoving on rooftops all day is the perfect person to put on stakeouts.
I heard that story from a audio book.🐱
I still remember that TV movie. I used to have "fan fiction" dreams based from it. It was terribly hokey, but enjoyable and an interesting premise.
I had always heard as a child that gargoyles would come to life at night to protect the building on which they lived or town, turning to stone in the day light.
I’ve been away from this series for a while because it wasn’t coming up in my notifications but I’M SO GLAD TO BE BACK WATCHING !!!!!!!
fun fact: Gargouiller (gar- goo- ee- ay) is French for to gurgle
I heard that was the origin of the word gargoile, that they were named after the gargling sound the water made as it flowed from their "throats" and onto the streets bellow.
I'm only here for the monstrum episodes
found this channel about a month ago. i have already watched all of the Monstrum videos and love them all. thank you and keep up the good work.
A gargoyle does not whine... He Roars!
There was a episode of Mona the vampire that she and her friends fought the gargoyle king! 🦇
so you telling me that gargling and gargoule have the same root? :p
I can guarantee it, yes
OH MY GODS! GARGOYLES!
I watched the movie repeatedly, and laughed my butt off repeatedly, I love the cheese factor.
I also love your shirt.
The grotesques that are being installed these days bring a smile to my face, showing that the sense of fun is still alive and well
For many years, the movie would be shown once a year on one of the local UHF channels (yeah, that's how long ago this was). It became a family tradition among my family to watch it and eat pizza, so we could watch the cheese while eating the cheese.
I have really come to love this series on this channel. Thank you and please keep it up!
Love the shirt!!!
I thought gargoyles were meant to scare away evil? That’s what I was told when I took a tour of Notre Dame
3:35
BonaparteBardithion yeah only the tour guide there talked about it like it was a fact, not just a theory. It’s like how the Winchester House might have nothing to do with ghosts
Well, that's the nature of tours. They're as much about creating a narrative for the location as teaching fact. It's a walk-through docudrama. In the case of a gray area like that I think it's acceptable for the tour's script to pick a side on the debate.
The most basic provable fact is that gargoyles are fancy rainspouts and there probably was no single explanation for their form at the time. Someone made them scary one day and everyone else followed with varying reasons.
It took me four minutes to realize you had that Gargoyles shirt on! It used to come on FOX at 6am; I used to get up WAY early for school to watch it. :D
St. Patrick's Gargoyle is one of my favourite fantasy novels and watching this video made me want to re-read it.
Not gonna lie the show was fire 🔥
Well yeah! Of course it was!
So technically, gargoyles are similar to golems. Both are hideous beings that are made out of stone and are brought to life by magic or something similar. The only difference is that golems are made to help people while gargoyles are free to do whatever they want.
Aren't golems made out of clay?
@@kaelang12 I only just realized.
Traditionally Gargoyles are protective figures, so animated ones would probably be guardians of whatever building they are on. I
by far my favorite show on youtube. keep'em coming Dr. Z! thank you! :)
A monster a week for October, maybe? Love this series, please keep being amazing.
This was a good episode and all, but when are you gonna give us that Baba Yaga episode?
There is also a highly entertaining YA book series by Jennifer L. Armentrout about guardian gargoyles that keep us safe from demons. They are human and turn to stone gargoyles while on watch. Like I said very entertaining.
I love listening to your episodes. So much enthusiasm. Even the outtakes
The gargoyle blep is so adorable😭😭
Btw gargoyles are probably my favorite monster/fantasy creature along with mermaids and foxgirl/kitsune/nine tailed fox creature.
Werewolf video 🤷🏻♂️
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah please do that PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to hear about lykaios an island tribe of mystical race of human who worship the sun God and wolf goddess to bless them with lycanthrope. So yeah a mystical human race of werewolf who got there power from Apollo and Leto a wolf goddess.
Now I wanna see a Lycan-garg. SO. BADLY.
When I was little and saw pictures of gargoyles in books and magazines I thought they were demons, and it scared me that they were just casually hanging out on churches and everyone was okay with it. In my head it seemed like the Church was in league with the Devil, and I was too afraid to ask about it cos I was worried about the answer. 0.o
'Molesting them with his gaze.' Oooooh - terrifying.
The Gargoyles cartoon shirt is the icing on the cake for this vid? I miss that show...and my childhood :(
Poor Gargouille, I find the Dragon as misunderstood.
I mean....he was killing sailors.
@@PyroGothNerd The Dragon didn't do anything wrong, it's the Priest's fault
@@kevinobill4818 HOW IS THE PRIEST TO BLAME FOR THE DRAGON EATING PEOPLE'S DAMN BOATS?! The priest didn't tell the dragon to do that, the dragon chose to do that himself!
I like dragons, too, but let's not pretend every single one is innocent. There are good dragons and bad dragons, and that was a bad one.
If the dragon wasn't killed, thousands of more PEOPLE would have died.
@@PyroGothNerd hmm good point
