  • In this video, I rank all 13 story mode specimens in the original game of Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion from worst to best. This video is full commentary, and is by far my FAVORITE video that I've ever created as I put more effort into it than I ever have before in a video...so I hope you enjoy it. Thanks again for 2,000+ subscribers!
    Disclaimer: I am aware of CZcamsr Wambu's ranking video from 2020 and have watched it only once after it came out. But my video was NOT in any way inspired by his video nor did I use anything from his ranking video for mine. I tried to be as original as possible, especially since my ranking is entirely Spooky's OG based, while his is HD Renovation based.

    Guys, please stop commenting "sPeCiMeN 7 wAs NoT iNsPiReD bY tHe WaLl oF fLeSh". I am fully aware of this and even knew it when making this video, but included it anyway because a lot of people associate Specimen 7 with the wall of flesh. This is a 30-minute video. There's plenty more to comment about besides THAT. 😂
    Also, for the last time...MY VOICE IS NOT AI. It is my real voice. I was reading from a script that I wrote, so that's probably why my voice kinda sounds "robotic" in a way...but c'mon. Is that THAT hard to tell? Without scripts, I tend to stumble a lot...so I wanted to make sure this video was as professional as possible.

    • @TheSpookyKing
      @TheSpookyKing  Před rokem +60

      Akuma Kira confirmed in an interview once that her appearance and school locale were based on Corpse Party. That’s why I recently made a mod where I turned Specimen 4 into Sachiko. Of course, you don’t want to copy the appearance *exactly* or else it wouldn’t be original. That’s why Kira is a legend, they are able to take inspiration from something and turn it into something completely unique and original.

    Specimen 5 is the one I'm most scared of. Idk why, but the imagery and distortion just triggers my anxiety. The description of "Proved extremely effective against subjects with mental issues or weak wills" is pretty fitting in my opinion as I unfortunately have a lot of anxiety and trauma related issues that for some reason this one in particular seems to trigger. I'm not scared of the walking manakin looking thing itself, but when the walls start distorting and just randomly flashing different colours- I mentally can't take it.

    Okay, hope you do the HD Renovation version of this list soon, because let's face it, they got some AMAZING glow-ups, especially in recent years with changes to Specimens 8 and 13 that make them a bit scarier, and especially with Specimen 8. Specimen 8 has uncontroversially the BEST design of any original specimen from a visual standpoint, but it originally had a pretty lame mechanic. It was just the Ringu chase, but slower. However, in a recent update, if the player is behind a wall as the Deer Lord is chasing them, it opens a portal to its own realm, then uses it to travel through the wall at EXTREME speed. Now it becomes a similar case to the Parasite, where you have to remain close to it so that it doesn't get you.

However, his video was still made before this one, and there were a few Specimens who received further glow-ups after Wambu's video. For example, Deer Lord was still in the stage where he was basically just a slower Ringu. Now he has a cool mechanic where he creates a portal through walls to close the distance on you faster if you are out of his sight. Due to that, Wambu only ranked him at 3. With that new power, I'm sure that Deer Lord would have made it to Number 2, or even Number 1.

    19:54 I initially assumed it would have some adverse effect if you attacked it as well, but then it didn't. I presume the thing it's going for is that Specimen 8 is encountered right after you get the axe but is unaffected by it, so if you try to attack it with the axe, you'll almost certainly get hit. It's really not enough to make up for the lackluster stats no matter how much you try to hit it, though.

    If you attack Specimen 1 with your axe during the chase with Deer Lord, it will actually cause you to take some damage. At least when I did it. Now this could’ve just been a glitch, but if it’s an actual mechanic then it would be a cute tie in with the Cat-DOS.

    Specimen 12 has an insanely clever gimmick in hd renovation: hes literally just like you, but better. Seriously, he has the same stamina bar as you, but runs faster, he has a (comically large) sickle that he found in the same spot you found your axe, but he can parry with it. His only drawback is that he walks ridiculously slow.
    Also the entire thing is a reference to the shining as well

  • @jaytakajeremiahtisdale2042

    Specimen 6 has to be my favorite not only for the inspirations and design but his mechanic is one of the most unique in the game, most of the specimens in story mode and other content like DLC and endless mode mostly just run towards us but we can't run from specimen 6 for the most part, this specimen tripped me up so much when I first played the game.

  • @Spikey_Spike
    @Spikey_Spike Před rokem +8

    Ngl, seeing specimen 6 again made me freeze up as it was the root of much of terror and dread I faced when I played this game years ago. I had no idea that I had to look at this thing whenever I encountered it, which led to specimen 6 killing me three times during my entire playthrough (the only other specimen to kill me was the Old Man). Just by watching this video made see that this puppet is even scarier than I thought to the point that I had to pause the video multiple times. It doesn't help that its backstory and death screen are some of most disturbing in the entire game. Words cannot describe how much this thing earned the number one spot on your list, as not only is it the most fear inducing gimmick but also the one that killed most people like myself who played this game.

    • @TheSpookyKing
      @TheSpookyKing  Před rokem +1

      Fear of Specimen 6 was the reason I waited over a year to play this game after discovering it. He legitimately terrified me. But once you get used to a game and play it so many times, it almost becomes like family. I know exactly how he functions in OG, even the technical stuff as well, so he's very easy to manage. But since a lot of it is very technical, I can understand why people would struggle with him. The biggest issue people have is where and when he spawns in each room, since GameMaker has its limitations. I hope to make a video explaining this sometime.

    Honestly I still find it so ironic how I feel the exact opposite with specimen 5 and 10, I absolutely ADORE 5 because of just how unique and odd is the atmosphere it sets in, just the thought of being chased by something you can’t win against, but it takes it’s time, because it knows that you have no chance against it, and maybe it doesn’t, but does it matter? You are losing your mind in an endless maze, and maybe, you can take it slow, but at the end, your own undoing isn’t the mannequin, but rather, yourself letting you get consumed by the horrors of the mansion… but yeah, it’s just such a cool scenario for me!
    And then there’s 10, I do not have any idea why, but I really hated his chase, I do get why people can enjoy it, but for me, it was just this walk through the park with this stalker following you except that he barely has any power against you, but I know that the reason behind me disliking the chase was just because I felt like there was not much of a rush or any danger, and for me it just got boring… I really enjoy the times where it’s just this feeling of doom and despair, because it truly shows how impotent you are, but with this specimen it really didn’t feel like a chase at all. (For me at least).
    Anyhow, setting aside that, I really enjoyed the video! And even if I do disagree with some of the rankings here and then, it’s quite interesting to see your point of view and specially shown in such entertaining and well done way! Well done mate!

    Always been fascinated by specimen 11 since I first saw him and I’m glad to see him getting the love he deserves here. The concept of making something as mundane as a McDonald’s a horror location is so unique and brilliant. You nailed it on the head by describing his room as liminal but before the concept of liminal spaces was well known I always considered it to be kinda surreal and honestly I think that’s why it was always been my favorite. Such a unique monster and location it’s hard not to love specimen 11.

    • @TheSpookyKing
      @TheSpookyKing  Před rokem

      thanks for the comment! Yeah, it always bothers me when I see people bash Specimen 11 as a “lame specimen” just because of his simple design or floating mechanic. The whole introduction area and build-up is what makes him high up on the list and I was genuinely terrified of him chasing me when I first played the game. Liminal spaces are one of my favorite concepts ever, and I definitely feel like Spooky’s OG is an unintentional liminal space game. I love it.

    This was a really well made video, better than most top 10s I've seen. Also while I would love to give my ranking, I've only played a *tiny* amount of the OG game. I've only played HD really aside from making an unfinished mod for the OG game that changes the old man into Neighbor Man from the hit 2070 indie game hi nurbur. So my opinion is ivalid here, but I will say 8 is my favorite and the original version of 10 us my second favorite (Why can't I find version 2.7.1 I need my eel boi).

    • @TheSpookyKing
      @TheSpookyKing  Před rokem

      thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed. You should give OG endless a try. It’s a lot different mechanically than HD’s. But there’s just something about the OG art style that makes it feel more liminal and nostalgic than HD. It’s one of the many reasons why I prefer it, despite the many visual glitches in it. I also prefer the majority of the specimen designs in OG over HD’s 3D designs (except for Specimen 3 and 8’s, those models are awesome).

    Very interesting commentary on a ranking video.
    I'm curious to know, which specimen 6 do you prefer, OG on HD, in terms of mechanics?
    I agree with Specimen 6 not looking at you makes it really odd and I don't really like it either, I also prefer how he could go through walls/above gaps rather than just teleporting on top of/behind you.

    • @TheSpookyKing
      @TheSpookyKing  Před rokem +4

      This is a great question. I know I've mentioned it in my 500 subs Q&A video from back in 2021, but obviously a lot of you weren't around at the time. I mentioned that Specimen 6 was my LEAST favorite specimen in HD Renovation...and that still applies today. I really can't stand him at all in that version, and it kinda pisses me off what they did to him. They completely destroyed my favorite specimen, and there's no forgiving that. Aside from what I mentioned in this video, I really hate the fact he teleports after a few seconds even while looking at him. It completely defeats the whole purpose of what he's supposed to be, which is a weeping angel. Sure, it makes more logical sense having him come down from the ceiling and such, but there's something about him spawning in the room after a few seconds in OG that adds to the creepy factor of him. I also hate that they have his laughing sound cue play EVERY SINGLE TIME you enter a new room in HD. It just starts sounding goofy and it gets quite annoying after a while. And above all, his OG design is 2000x better! (see what I did there?)

In older versions of HD Renovation, he looked at you, now he doesn't, kind of a weird change.
