Time For a Seance on Grave Mood Rings

Mixing vampire humor and 1970s tropes (like pet rocks, lava lamps, disco music, bell-bottom pants, mirror balls, and of course mood rings), the web series Grave Mood Rings pokes fast fun at classic slow-moving Gothic soap operas like Dark Shadows and the Canadian series Strange Paradise. In addition to a vampiric Viscount, a castle is home to a groovy Doctor (a phlebotomist, naturally), a jolly housekeeper with her own laugh track, a werewolf Vicar, and an arch-nemesis riddler wearing a Sphinx mask. Corny wordplay, the occasional bizarre sing-a-long, and haunted doughnuts punctuate the proceedings, in the tradition of the sketch comedy of MadTV, Kids in the Hall, and SCTV. This surrealist, dadaistic, even post-contemplationist spoof comes from the minds of Jonathan Caws-Elwitt and Prof. Oddfellow.

I'll take psychopompos into the week ahead. It will come in handy in at least three conversations 😎

[@ProfessorOddfellow]

Same! "Psychopompos" comes in handier than one has any reason to imagine. 🤪

[@Makapolu]

You can have any color you want as long as its beige, or black or khaki. I cackled, politely, at that. As to the poor Sphinx, so he's getting lottery tickets, or in the sense the Sphinx is to be evicted and sent to new lodgings?
Never mind, probably the latter as the Sphinx probably "found" all of the Pharaohs treasures buried in the trackless sands.
Also, Penetralia is on the lineup, at last!

[@ProfessorOddfellow]

My best guess (I have to reverse-engineer what I might have meant back when I wrote this script) is that the Viscount wishes Sphinx to get blasted with billets in the sense of little slips of paper (like those Sphinx pulls out of his riddle box). But if he meant lottery tickets, that would be surreally funny. Meanwhile: czcams.com/video/HSm8YLH4shg/video.html

@@ProfessorOddfellow Ah-ha, now I understand, you were being punny, i2u. Well, I'm sure people will get a bang out of it.

[@KlingonCaptain]

I demand a novelization...

[@ProfessorOddfellow]

Thank you! I actually am working on one, but it's slow, painstaking going. 🧛🏻‍♂️

[@BillyBrujoShow]

dont let the soapopera take over the show.... i still like the regular show too.

[@ProfessorOddfellow]

I could actually use some suggestions for future Penetralia show topics. 🧐

[@BillyBrujoShow]

@@ProfessorOddfellow I need to talk to you about some vintage clipart. I'm still at the same old email adress. Tumblr's gone tho. But maybe we can hook up through discord or something?

[@ProfessorOddfellow]

I dropped you a line via e-mail. 😻

[@Ylecasmusic]

lol Khaki

[@ProfessorOddfellow]

Hahaha-- yes, that 70s color palette is something else, eh?

[@Ylecasmusic]

@@ProfessorOddfellow Lots of brown too!

[@ProfessorOddfellow]

In TV shows from the 70s, when characters are dressed in earth tones and are standing as if camouflaged against brown walls, I'll be like, "Where did everybody go?"
