EDIT: just realized this episode is blocked in the USA try this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JETND4sqnco I’m using the pre-existing HD upscales and doing some touch ups on them to enhance the details, remove some of the flickering artefacts from the pre-existing AI work , upscaling with traditional methods to 4K and doing new colour corrections in Davinci Resolve. Softening some of the sharpness with Dehancer and adding some light film grain in 4K to dirty up the upscaling a bit as well. I’m about halfway through the first season episodes and should take me a few months to get through the entire series but that’s the plan!
I’ve loved AYAotD since its first episode! I animate horror and had been working on this story for awhile before animating it and that got me thinking… maybe I should start sharing what I write animate here? Maybe other people here write stories too? Maybe some of those should be animated? Just sharing thoughts this Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
For me it’s bugs or being in the middle of the ocean.
Main character Allan Price is generally depicted as a spoiled brat. There's some evidence to suggest that this attitude partly stems from his wealthy lawyer father neglecting him while putting a great pressure on him academically due to having "big plans" for his son. Also it's generally shown that Allan Price is certainly not used to his father cutting him off financially after spending his entire allowance. My theory goes that, annoyed at his charge's entitled attitude and poor treatment of him, somehow convinced his employer to fund an elaborate prank to make it seem like the Wisdom game thing had come alive to put Allan and his new friend Jimmy Miller on trial for "stealing wisdom" (Allan was still holding a video game Jimmy wanted when the owner of the store basically threw him out and without knowing it took the game with him) as a means to scare him straight. Part of the prank is a Batman gambit, a plan predicated on someone acting in a way that you anticipate. In this case, Trevor knew that Allan's better nature would win out over his selfishness when he revealed that Jimmy had bought hockey tickets for the two of them to go see a game, causing Allan to go back and confess to stealing the game after initially convincing Jimmy take the fall for him. The rest of the episode was just to make sure that learned the lesson that just because his father is rich doesn't make him any better than anyone else. After Judge Day "possesses" Trevor into driving the two back for their executions to be carried out. When they arrive they will see the staged "execution" of the Fool for the high "crime" of breaking the Wisdom Glass. Afterwards, the guillotine will break, forcing their sentences to be postponed until morning so the device can be repaired. The guards will "forget" to lock their cell. And they subsequently escape and return the game. Trevor will later return with no memory of that day and Allan, not knowing if returning the game could have appeased Judge Day or not, would avoid the area of "the land of wisdom" and try to stay on his best behavior.
In my opinion this episode is the best and it isn’t even close…
Anyone have recommendations for movies and tv shows outside of AYAOTD that are comparable to this episode?
Maybe with a video game aspect to it as well?
I took a photo of my recently finished Ghastly Grinner mask and used it for a base image in an ai generator, I let it create images in different styles then combined them all into a gif, think it looks pretty wild.
Hey guys, does anyone have access to french version of the 90’s serie? I grew up with this and I’d like to also make some dope vhs of them for my son. Thanks!
I think I remember in Ghost Island, they mentioned a character from Curse of the Shadows. I wish the show didn't get cancelled so we could see if the theory stands but yeah. I don't know I had an itch in the back of my brain while I rewatched it this past halloween.
Some AYAOTD episodes are similar to the goosebumps episodes.
Curious camera- Say cheese and Die
Guardian's Curse-Return of the Mummy
Reanimator -Stay Out of The Basement
Silent Servant- Carecrow Walks at Midnight
What do you think guys?
There could be a new crop of kids setting around the campfire telling a different story each week. IMO, that’s what they should’ve done all along with the revival.
Anyone know where the aunts' house was at? It wasn't a set, they filmed this episode in a real house.
Hope everyone is having a good halloween🎃🎃🎃
It was one of the few "young love" stories. The boy works at a bowling alley and is falling for a ghost girl. Honestly that's all I remember.
This episode might have started with the main character having a strange dream but I only remember the ending where 2 boys get into car as they run from something but when they look at the driver it’s some kind of monster and they scream and the episode ends. I also don’t know the name of an episode about some kind of cabin in snowy mountains but I can’t remember any details at all. Thanks! 😁
