The Straight Dope 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.

I’m envious of someone who can watch only the final episode of a TV series. Their subconscious must be “filling in the blanks” of what happened previously, creating an alternate reality series that combines with our reality in the end.
You're so right -- they're creating an alternate reality! And their imagined TV series might very well be better than the broadcast version. 😳
Professor Oddfellow is the prescription for Miasma of Despair.
Yay! Thank you, Ms. Adrian Black! 😻
Maui Wowee! This episode is smokin,' baby!
Hahaha -- thank you! 🧛🏻♂️💨
There is so much “potted humor” in retrospect. Centuries of comments about cooking and plants were just waiting for their future as double entendres.
Indeed! Thank you, as always, Ken!
Very entertaining!
Thank you so much! 😍
The ancient lights doctrine - like an HOA but with more robes and cauldrons no doubt haha.
Hahaha, yes! The trusty dictionary reminds us that landlord "covenants" and witchy "covens" share the same Latin root, so you're really onto something picturing the special robes!
OMG!! 🎉🎉🎉
🧛🏻♂️❤️
I guess if I was as old as the Count I'd be a grouchy busybody, too!
Indeed! As I am personally the same age as Grace Jones (5,000 years), I can attest to never having been so crotchety as now. In the 1970s, I was merely crochet-ity.
A surprising Star Trek reference that makes me feel right at home... I'm a doctor, not a...🎉
Oh, we're so glad you caught that reference! Yes! 😍
Please make this a series
Thanks, Billy Brujo! We've been crafting a bunch of still-secret episodes, and you can get a sneak peek here: www.mysteryarts.com/grave-mood-rings/
Thank you, Billy! I replied earlier with a link to a bunch of still-secret episodes, but it seems that got deleted by the powers that be?

Not the HOA association!
The HOA reared its ugly head again! Sorry for any flashback it may have triggered. 🤪
First of all, I want that shirt. And B, I wanted a Grave Mood Ring, but the store only had Foul Mood Rings. I guess that suits me better but it ruined my day.
First of all, Foul Mood Rings -- those cheap knock-offs! And B, thank you so much for watching, Rosscoman!
'Miasma of Despair', a reference to Dante or Deathmetal ?
As a wise person once said, "Why can't it be both?" 🤪
Well, this episode ended on a high note.
Hahahaha! Yes! ☁️
But it cost us a subscriber as soon as it went up!
@@ProfessorOddfellow I wonder why? Ah, Why wonder... Some people just don't get grave humor. Which, of corpse, is probably the answer.
I think you (coffin) nailed it.
@@ProfessorOddfellow Just don't tell the Viscount, too much is at stake. Speaking of which, the old Carol Burnett sketch involving a stick, a stake and a shtick comes to mind.
Homeowners Association? Now I know he's evil. 😒
Hahahaha -- indeed! 🧛🏻♂️
