night, the mother of fear And mystery - Zábava
"So, what was the monster's name?"
"Pretty sure it was Karen."
ICONIC.
"I had a cousin named Karen. She was _so rude..."_
Iconic indeed.
Fun fact: Frankenstein wasn’t a doctor, he was a college dropout
That joke aged very well.
Ahead of their time
That SENT ME 😂
Protect H.G Wells at all costs.
I'm really willing to and that's why I'm really hoping he's not the killer or something
+Wendy Weber Céspedes I'm convinced that Charlotte Bronte is the killer.
Bronte certainly looks the most suspicious to me so far. Which probably means it's not her.
+TheOtherDibbler yeah she's probably next to die
Yeah. I still think it can be someone outside the guests. I mean, the prologues showed people angry for being excluded. But that'd be cheating, right? It's gotta be that one of them fakes their death, in my opinion
So now I'm shipping HG Wells and a ghost.
He can use his time machine to travel back to when she was still alive.
same
Well H.G Wells died
@@josiahstyer1527 Then they can be ghosts together ^_^
Me writing an essay about H.G. Wells:
"H.G. Wells was the cinnamon roll writer of The Time Machine and The Invisible Man."
Such a cinnamon roll
And is also totally in love with Lenore
Yes?.....really
I love how Emily Dickinson's portrait in the intro is different in each episode and it never clearly shows her face.
Literally lol'd at today's continuation of the pattern. Can't wait for the rest.
Who?
they didn't invite arthur conan doyle because he'd solve it in 2.3 seconds
HomicidalTeaBreak no he wouldn’t Doyle was notoriously completely oblivious. it’s hilarious.
Also Agatha Christie wrote detective novels, and she's most likely late because she would have it solved in an instant
@@ace-fn2hp you mean his involvement with the girls who said they had photos of fairies in their gardens? See your point, but still, presence of fairies is different from a murder mystery. Wonder if Agatha Christie was there that she'd be able to do anything or if she's be oblivious
@@agenttheater5 unlikely that Agatha would ever be oblivious. She once feigned her own death to get away from that wretch of a husband of hers and the only way she was ever found out was because she revealed herself living. Gave the police quite a shock really.
He would have thought it was the work of fairies and magic
The fact that H.G. asks "How did you get into fashion?" after Lenore asks him how he got into inventing is so great. Normally, a female's character's preoccupation with clothes would be ignored and wouldn't even be considered a factor worth mentioning, but he treated it as a legitimate interest and I just love the writers for that.
Lauren and Tom screaming gets me every time. EVERY TIME I SAY
I can't imagine being on set when they were acting, I would so laugh until the director yelled at me.
The director was probably laughing too
Yeah, he was definitely laughing too. :)
Actually, we were all dying laughing silently until he called "Cut!" then we all broke into gales of furious hysterics. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Truly the worst thing to happen this evening
I WAS PROMISED HEMINGWAY EATING A CIGARETTE
He did in the previous episode, after the credits
Alice Aloi Yeah that’s what they mean. It’s a preview of the next episode, and it didn’t happen.
Henceforth, Frankenstein's monster shall go by the name Karen. I'm sure my literature professor will appreciate that.
"i had a cousin named karen. ugh she was so rUDE" i wheezed
@@izzyeis5752
"I don't even _have_ a manager..."
I love that Poe's only defense is that he would be so much better at hiding his crimes
At least this dress is fab.
Famous last words.
This dress is to die for.
@@corvus1374 Those were actually his last words.
awkward pause, glancing around, gesticulating... "buuuurp" shall be my go-to conversation-ender from now on.
Also, Lauren Lopez seems to be channeling Paula Poundstone as George Eliot and it is the BEST!
I literally screamed when I saw Curt. LITERALLY
You're not alone ! XD
I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one! :)
S a m e
Ditto
I know I got SO excited
Eliot & Wilde, the best friends I didn't know I needed.
I will miss there friendship so much :,(
iconic duo.
Loving the Annabel, Ernest, Edgar "love triangle". Her boyfriend just died in his soup, guys, give her some space! Also, Lenore and H are totes cute. And Mary Ann and Oscar are now BFFs for life (which, to be fair, probably won't be for long) after all those poop jokes. That's the rule.
Basically, I am all about the shipping.
+
I agree. Wenore for life!
I'm all about the ships, 'bout the ships, No friendzones
Well let's hope the ships don't get
Shipwrecked
I'm not sorry
I ABSOLUTELY ship H.G. Wells and Lenore!
Same!!
Me too!!
likewise, they are adorable
Wellenore 💕💕
The real H.G. Wells was nowhere near this attractive, so I don't know how he was getting so many side chicks before this dinner party. Also, if he ever wants a side dude I'm available.
1)OH! I'd be SO THREATENED if I wasn't already DEAD!
2) She just caught the influenza!! ...which killed her.
3) Feisty Anabelle.
4) H.G.'s pronunciation of "camera".
5) Everything about Fyodor in this episode.
6) "At least...this dress...is fab."
7) Curt Mega
8) "I was...pretty sure it was Karen"
9) Crow bar jokes
🎵 these are a few of my favorite things🎵
hg trying to deny that he thinks time travel is real: then giving in shortly after due to the look lenore gives him: him laughing akwardly at her joke: and the way he stares at
her after not so sudliy giving the impression that he has a thing for her
Everyone is too funny and adorable and I simply cannot take it
same
Meh, except that Charlotte Bronte, she just makes me sick.
@@erni414 I actualy realy like to dislike her, ehe is a brillantly and charming acted villain
I SHIP WELLS AND LENORE SO HARD YOU DONT EVEN KNOW
SAME
Just realized that they don't include the placement of the card for the people who died! Damn that theme song is going to be really short at the end
+
Oh I didn't notice that! There are still quite a few characters we haven't met yet, though, and I think the theme song may incorporate them when they arrive (Agatha Christie, Krishanti, the detectives).
"At least this dress is fab." -- Best last words ever!
Dostoevsky needs a hug
I love how Oscar calls seeing a mouse the worst thing to happen that night
Everything George Eliot does is freaking hilarious.
Lauren Lopez does such a great job.
Dostoyevsky dead? Such a crime. I hope there will be punishment! ...I'll see myself out.
Jesus. That’s terrible. But in a good way... You’re right though, what A Nasty Story.
Fun fact that probably no one cares about: I read that book when I was 12, damn it was good. I was very sad when he died in the episode
I love HG Wells, please don't kill him
same
Uh oh
Woops
I reckon Eddie faked his death and is now killing all the people that owe him something - the deaths are tying into Christie's 'and then there were none' and Eddie's the red herring in the rhyme
Maybe Christie is working with him, hence why people were able to be killed while Eddie was still lying "dead" at the table?
Well H.G. does think she wasn't poisoned at the dinner table, so if Eddie's the killer it's possible he did something before?
there's a Christie story about a guy consuming poison that acted slowly so it was very difficult to pinpoint when he was "murdered". I find it possible that the killer has also read Christie and is emulating some of her methods? But, once again, Christie wrote so much you're bound to stumble upon a method she used in a murder mystery
yeah, I agree, but that's the wonder of a locked-room mystery, innit? it's about whodunnit and howdunnit and whydunnit. I hope it's only one person, but we'll see!
Wendy Weber Céspedes just what I thought about eddie doing something to louisa before hehe, I know just excited for agatha to rock up and explain everything!
"I guess that leaves me with the most murdere-y looking person here !"
I loved the way Charlotte (Ashley) delivered that line.
In which Lenore learns she has a sensitivity to red meat...
Oh yay! So fun for me too :)
At this point if Emily Dickinson did it, I wouldn't blame her. Lauren is amazing as always. Also Sinead steals every scene she is in, yes the dress is fab. You make such a gorgeous bride. I'm loving the mystery so much.
I agree, she would be justified to get away.
HG Wells is my favorite kind of dork: awkward “ha” when he gets a joke too late, but can still join in on an insult and agree the dress was hideous.
hemingway continuously pulling out more cigarettes as theyre taken from them is such a small touch but it has me dying. joey never fails to make me laugh
I need more George Eliot and Oscar Wilde fun times. "Blue-Footed Boobie-bar." XD
The fucking look Lenore gives Poe after he's like "Here's exactly how I would kill Eddie" is fucking great.
so many good things: everyone's fACES; when h.g. has the goggles on; "i'm not going to waste a good study insult on someone who hardly speaks english"; EVERYTHING.
Annabel and I will explore the *upstairs* .
Perhaps the murderer left a *hair-*
OR PERHAPS HE LIVES *THERE.*
I love this part.
lmao Oscar Wilde's FACE when he's humoring George Eliot's "Duke of Coventry and Humphry Cadwellatter" And I love how even though Oscar Wilde obviously knows that George Eliot is actually Mary Ann, he still lets her carry down Shelley's body to the cellar.
HG'S GOGGLES I LOVE HIM HES SO CUTE
Me *has 15 minute break at 11 cst*
*opens CZcams, Poe Party episode is **15:05** long*
Me: "The fates have smiled upon me."
This attic scene with Wells and Lenore is one of my favorites in the whole show!
Herbert George, btw, in case you were wondering
Could be worse... I was imagining it was something like Hubert Godfrey haha
haha indeed!
Wendy Weber Céspedes I think his name would be less humiliating if it was George Herbert Wells flip the H and G
Spoilers dude
@@fangirllifealways1916 lmao you're absolutely right
I love how every time someone dies, they’re removed from the intro sequence.
I know I’m two years late but still
Better late than never!
A RAVENbar
Hemingway and Fyodor just having alcohol on them at all times is the most in-character thing I've ever seen.
George Eliot is a delight and a gift.
The Emily Dickinson intros are killing me
They are such a good joke 😂
Can I just say how perfectly the music scores line up in the beginning? I could listen to that a hundred times if it didn't make me think of H.G. and the gang inevitably kicking the bucket.
Why thank you sir~
you can't comment gifs on youtube, but if I could it would be that iconic Mark Ruffalo "Is that Paul Rudd?" meme, except in this instance "Is that Curt Mega?" because that was me in this scene
H.G. Wells is my favorite by far. Everyone did amazing, but I his portrayal of the character just hit the mark for me.
It's official: H. G. Wells is the cutest.
12:25 lauren and tom screaming kills me every time HAHAHA
The pronunciation of camera was everything. The screaming between Wilde and Eliot gave me all the giggles! & oh no what a bloody way to go; I can't even begin to guess who's the killer. Another great episode!
...at least they can't kill off Lenore!
Literally love this so, soo much. Amazing job you guys!
Haha I was thinking that too! Maybe we'll get the entire cast as ghosts in the last episode (except the murderer).
Well hey, Krishanti should be arriving soon and apparently she's great with ghosts
Makenzie Mergard But they can kill all the others!😭
Hahahahhaha Fyodor Dostoyevsky killed with an axe. You guys are so good! (also, I realize I sound like a sadistic psychopath. I'm really just a Lit student. Promise!)
That was my favorite thing. Have you ever read/seen "Variations on the Death of Trotsky?" by David Ives? Trotsky spends the whole play with an axe in his head, and his wife keeps coming into his study going, "Leon, you have a mountain climber's axe in your head. Have you noticed?"
+Amy Thomas I was in "All in the Timing" once. I wasn't in that particular sketch, but the play featured all of them and that one was always a hit! :D
Yes! I performed in that play once (I was Mrs. Trotsky), and that was the first thing I thought of seeing this :-D
I didn't think of it at once, but you're absolutely right, that is such a good detail
"Mysterious illness...happens all the time." Just gets better and better!!
I love how everybody just ignores Emily Dickinson
Who?
wait, emily dickinson is in this?
I didn't even notice her there! I think she must have left early.
I can't decide between "at least this dress is fab" and "I am enjoying this gaiety, but I am covered in excrement" for my favorite quotes
"I wonder what it's like to wear pants." XD
Favorite episode so far! Also, I totally ship Lenore and H.G. Wells.
NOOOO, NOT FYODOR!!!! :"(
Right?! He was one of my favorites 😭
he was too good for this world. Or at least this party
he was too good for this world. Or at least this party
Also i realized re-watching these and re-reading the poem from And Then There Were None that they switched the third and fourth deaths...this is just so good!
Yeah he was my absolute favourite I'm so sad :((( (now I'm hoping Wells is gonna survive this...)
OMG H.G. Wells is so adorable!!
When i first saw Lenore’s dress i thought “wow that looks like a wedding dress!” Now i feel bad.
Everyone slays so hard in this episode (no pun intended)
Dostoyevsky was definitely one of my favorites. Underappreciated king with a stellar accent
George Eliot and Oscar Wilde crying about mice is the best thing.
I think Agatha Christie is working with Eddie, and he faked his own death to have "revenge" on everyone else... That's my theorie! :)
That is rising to the top of my list of theories as the most plausible one currently!
Aw, it's getting harder to watch them die, now that I'm getting attached to them!
I'm not a huge fan of shipping any two people who make eye contact, but Lenore and Wells have great chemistry. Actually, I take it back. I don't ship them. They are my new brotp. Lenore can't die (I hope), but I'd be super sad if Wells died. It's looking like he will, though, since each episode ends in death.
Also, before Wilde revealed that he knows that Eliot's a girl, I was hoping for a subplot in which he falls for her, and she has to have a super awkward conversation...
Things I didn't intend to happen ever: Slightly shipping Lenore and HG Wells. This has honestly been the best episode yet though!!
i thought "haha what if the opening got shorter eVery time bc they take out the characters that die" and checked and THEY DID
So I looked up H.G Wells during the episode on Wiki and well he got around (if you catch my drift) so him flirting with Lenore is pretty damn accurate. I love this series time to rewatch.
oscar flirting with Fydor is everything
non-obvious favorites:
Fyodor, not-so-confident accuser 1:25.
HG, victim of Cupid 2:19-2:21
Lenore, who rejoices in the blood of her enemies 3:47
Awfully nosy Poe 4:59
Ernest, cigarette magician 5:24-5:28.
HG, Godfather of Minority Report 5:50
Fyodor, thin-skinned hair model 7:05
No one:
H.G: CRIBBLESTICKS
_At least... this dress... is fab..._
I'm watching this after midnight and I'm shoving my face in my pillow to keep from laughing.
Lenore: "...It was my wedding day."
Me, automatically: 🎶 "IT WAS OUR WEDDING DAY! WE WERE GETTING READY AND THERE WASN'T A CLOUD IN THE SKY--" 🎶
My favourite character? I have 3.
Firstly, Charlotte Brontë, this is a huge achievement by Ashley Clements, as Charlotte is exactly the type of person I hate the most, totally full of themselves and highly critical of others (or should I say, full of pride and prejudice).
Joey’s Ernest Hemingway has electric presence.
I found Clayton’s forlorn Fyodor endearing. He had me at “I bring Vodka”. RIP Fyodor.
Warren Day any character joey plays always turns out amazing. have you watched him in starkid or tin can brothers? he's an awesome actor
Ernest: I am being relatively suspicious, and great. Let’s split up.
Everyone:
Everyone: GREAT IDEA
"or a raven bar" oscar is the best
No matter how terrible things are, an episode of Poe's Party makes everything so much better. I have not been this happy watching an online series in years. I don't know if I am okay losing anymore characters. Everyone has done the most amazing job and you can tell how much they enjoy their roles.
I’ve decided that I kinda hate Hemingway. But I love Joey so much that I was confused for a while.
"I wonder what it's like to wear pants"
SO MANY CLUE REFERENCES!!! Most of them are silly and fun, but some of the similarities suggest possible solutions. Are these actual clues, or red herrings, or mere coincidences? Honestly, I don't really care; they just make me ridiculously happy.
I'll really miss the Russian.
Poe Party is the only reason I look forward to Mondays. 😍

Same here

i love all these characters so much i get so bummed each time one dies off i wish they could all come back and haunt like lenore, im glad george didnt die tho he's one of my favs i also ship lenore and HG so hard
"so whats the name of the monster?" I question I always wanted to ask, fabulous episode as always!
Edgar! we said NO RAVENS!
Charlotte is looking more and more like the murderer. So by rule that means she is not the murderer... right?
Okay but why do I have a crush on H.G. Wells now
oscar wilde's nervous little 'bottoms up' gives me life
So they all die in a way related to their books.... ignoring Eddie, Louisa May had that coughing fit, which connects to the tuberculosis that Beth in Little Women had. Mary Shelley was electrocuted, the opposite of how the monster in Frankenstein was brought to life. And Fyodor was struck in the head with an axe.... just like the victim old lady in Crime and Punishment.
This is getting even more exciting.
My only problem with this webseries is that I don't want any of them to die! They are all such fantastic portrayals it makes me horribly sad that most of them have to die. Can we have a spin-off with their ghosts?
Oscar: Bottoms up
After three years I finally get the joke
Poes monologs about how much he knows about Eddie is always so funny. Delivered and written so well :)
also, each episode is even better than the last, i love this show, its my fav watch right now
YOU EAT THAT SOUP, SARAH!
SOUP THERE IT IS!
[mr. edgar allan poe, who died probably drunk and alone, calls ernest hemingway a drunk]
loved Curt just casually making an appearance
Now I have a crush on HG Wells. 🥰
