thats scary..i dreamt about it too!..:eek:
haha, serious, I saw Lovecraft's portrait more than a few times while I was dreaming, and I had a weird dream about Beyond the Wall of Sleep, because I read that short story before I finally went to bed...

This is crazy...

Someone who hade many names is probably dead.. and "it is their creation" is probably referring that we might not be looking for that person with many names, and instead we might be looking for a creation about the person with many names...

not off the top of my head, but let me look real quick on something I've heard of...
 
  • #1,463
i skimmed an article that said something about Lovecraft mixing literature and science...Their creation perhaps?
 
  • #1,464
This riddle makes me irritated.. I've been constantly chewing on something since I woke up this morning :)
 
  • #1,465
okay people, you DO NOT need more information about lovecraft. get off google for a while and just think
 
  • #1,466
Spontanius thoughts here is that the relics/the painting is missing.. and that dracula had many names

By the way, I established an "official" Dracula's Riddle forum which you can continue the discussion on if you want to.
some people have asked for a forum so I started one.

This just seems wrong to me...let people gather in their own groups. An "official" riddle forum takes away even more of the mystery.

However, it would be nice to have a forum that people couldn't just look up...I've been thinking about making a "secret" gathering place. ::evil laughter::

Uhoh... I think Omega is getting infected by the evil of the mansion! *Screams*

haha :)

Has anyone gotten a bit further with this? :P
 
  • #1,475
I've still been mulling over, but now my mind is crisscrossed.

Half of my mind is trying to make rational sense of the clues coupled with Dracula/Vampire/...things we've gone through during the whole adventure.

The other half is trying to make rational sense of the clues coupled with Lovecraft.

(And this part is frustrating since I know little about LC)
 
  • #1,476
I've had several interesting leads, all turning up dead... You know the feeling you get when you think you're right, but then you're disappointed...
 
  • #1,477

Lol me :P

What leads?
 
  • #1,479
lol, I've done that before Zarii ^^ Can you imagine if you didn't remember you just came from that riddle and you kept going in circles @.@



And yep Greg... you think you've got all the right pieces... and then you get smacked by that wall... with the carved word Dark... and you're back to square one ^^

Haha.. you almost described me there :smile:
 
  • #1,481
Hee-hee confused minds think alike ^^
 
  • #1,482
I guess so :)
 
  • #1,483
Well, my mind is also poking me with niggling questions...

Who is 'their' referring to?

Is their any significance to knowing them? Or their creation? Is it 'their' creation that's missing?

Oh.. don't mind me, thinking out loud x.x


Is it LC and ?
Dracula and ?
Or maybe LC and Dracula's scary monstrous child...

Melody: I'm not sure, at first I thought it was vampires, and the answer was also vampires, because vampires can create vampires...

but I've all but buried those thoughts.
 
  • #1,485

Good point. That is what I felt as well but I guess I fell for group pressure. I will do it again by taking away the forum =)
 
  • #1,487
one thing i was thinking about that might help...

who painted all these paintings?
 
  • #1,488
*visits The Graveyard Of Dead End Thinking*
*places flowers on another tombstone*
 
  • #1,489
I'm also wondering who "their" are referring to..
 
  • #1,490
Thinking out loud... if it won't spark me, mebbe it'll light someone else up.

Who is 'Their'?

'What' is missing?

Who is 'he'?

Is 'their' creation what's missing?

Is 'their' creation a being (he)?

Is 'he' with many names missing?

We figure out who 'he' is... or what 'he' is...? Is 'he' the answer?
 
  • #1,491
I'm worried that when I head home from work in an hour I will have missed everything, lol

*buries an old thought in The Graveyard Of Dead End Thinking*

See.. at first I thought it had to do with Lovecraft's 'The Haunter of the Dark'...

Their creation > Cultists, or the Starry Wisdom cultists were 'their' (they 'create' gods or summon them)

Something Missing > Windows/Light ..the Dark Steeple...

The light was missing because the Dark Haunter couldn't go to where there was light...
The windows were sooty, and there were pictures on them, I think...
The dark steeple was the room where the shining .. I'm not even going to try to spell it offhand... was

He Had Many Names > Nyarlathotep (the cults worshiped him)

The Dark Haunter is an avatar of a god with many names (Nyarlathotep)

Robert Blake was a character made after Robert Bloch.. he wrote and painted... the seven canvases of unnamed horrors...

Lovecraft and Bloch created the trilogy of where The Haunter In The Dark was the second of the three stories...

So yeah... *pats the buried thought* It was good while it lasted...
