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::

Ai ai!

*scrambles over to say hello*




*clings to Zarii*

I'm quite happy here, but I can always say hello there.





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

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)
 
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...
 
At first i tought okey.. a painting is missing at it says dark on the wall so I wrote in darkpainting.jpg and ended up at the picture that was displayed at nr 55 xD

Lol me :P

What leads?
 
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:
 
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.

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 =)
 
one thing i was thinking about that might help...

who painted all these paintings?
 
*visits The Graveyard Of Dead End Thinking*
*places flowers on another tombstone*
 
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?
 
I'm worried that when I head home from work in an hour I will have missed everything, lol
 
*ties a line to Greg's leg*

We'll remember to bring you with us *grins*

*ties the other end of the line to a bulldozer aimed at the 'Dark' wall*

He's a great writer though... I wonder what it would have been like to have a conversation with him :rolleyes:
 
*pulls on Greg's line and brings him back from The Land Of Meandering Side-Tracked Thoughts*

Oh no you don't! We've still got a wall to crack!

I've tried using a magic potion :wink:
 
*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...
