The Madness of Moo Manor - Part I

Added 2023-09-19 22:35:45 +0000 UTC

Seven strangers are invited to stay a single night at a strange house. The reward is significant. To get it, they not only have to survive the night, but want to leave come morning. The house was built long ago by an odd man with odd goals. The most recent owner has gone missing, supposedly dead, and definitely more eccentric than the public knew. Other wild rumors have circulated the nearby town. Satanic rituals, secret sex games, and other strange events are bound to have happened at the manor. Still, it's only one night...what could possibly make anyone want to stay?

Hi all! I continue to workshop different Halloween themes, but this one is making it to the page at least. This 7k section starts off the evening at Moo Manor with a lot of talking and introductions as the board gets set, but some spicy stuff sneaks in at the end.

The premise is lifted from old horror movies in general, but particularly House on Haunted Hill from 1959. One of the credited actors is "Skeleton" who plays the character Skeleton. This is due to the film using an actual human skeleton as the prop instead of making something artificial. That's the type of tangent chasing that usually distracts me from working.

Part II next week, and maybe the next part of the HSA mini-arc. Happy Reading!
