Edgar Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party Ch. 8: The Cask of Amontillado

Just to be clear, boxing match is a metaphor for...... yeah..... right? Or am I reading into this too much?

[@CallaLily2818]

"He's a drunk!" "Oh, that's a shame." "Not really - he's terrible." "Sounds like my dad." I just about cried laughing. This episode was too funny, even if our fave lovable nerd was killed off. RIP Herbert George Wells. Your name wasn't THAT bad.

"...I was here at 6:25." I absolutely loved this quote! I even thought that the first part was a direct quote from Oscar until I Googled it and found nothing. His character is perfect!

This is probably yet another reason why Ernest hates writers

Besides the fact that my fave died, this episode was hilarious. HG better either come back as a ghost or only be unconscious...

[@flopius1]

The murderer must be Agatha Christie because the car abandon is a reference of her real life disappearance where she appear a sometime later without being able to remember what happend

I agree! That was the first thing I thought of when the constables said why they were there.

I now very much want a spin-off series called Jim and Jimmy, with them solving classic literary mysteries, but with twists so the ending is never the same as the original, and the characters who are supposed to solve them still get the credit even though Jim and Jimmy actually essentially give them the answer (unintentionally).

[@Frizzbiscuit]

NOOO!!!! But also "Look if we're being honest, I don't recall leaving the house in the last ye- month. In the last month." Lol, I feel you Poe.

[@nicksmith522]

i feel they will all die and Poe will die as he did in real life wandering the streets in someone else's clothes in a delusional state

Omg please no.

If we use Charlotte's comment that her sister died last year, that would make this take place in 1849, the year Poe died.

The writing is always excellent but my favorite parts are almost always silent. In this episode, Hemingway pulling the (full) tumbler out of his coat (3:43) had to be watched repeatedly.

The masons of Shipwrecked completed the eighth tier. A succession of loud and shrill screams, bursting suddenly from the throats of Wellenore shippers, thrust them violently back. For a brief moment they hesitated -- they trembled. Then they picked up their trowels and resumed the work. Only three tiers remaining...

"What is a car?" is one of those lines it took me 3 watches to catch and it might be one of my favourite lines of Poe Party, it's such a clever little extra touch

[@zc5130]

I'm pretty sure that this confirms that someone other than the alive authors + Lenore is the culprit, as everyone was accounted for when H.G. got poisoned. I'm suspecting that it's Dantes. I also would like to pose that Bronte and Anabelle Lee are accomplices, as not only are their previous actions suspicious and would help to hide the fact of Dantes' death, on the KZbin header for the page, only those two are covering their mouths, a sign of deciet.

“pleeeeeeeease?” best line ever

[@NicoleBonnet]

*spoilers* noooo...not Herbert George! (gotta say, HG rolls of the tongue better than that). Loving this. Love how it was the upside-down meditation that triggered the policeman's suspicion among so many other things. Anyone else think Charlotte has an attraction to Hemingway, (who doesn't see it)? And despite the sadness of there being only 3 more episodes left, I'm relieved that there are >3 characters left so it won't be completely "And Then There Were None." Am still hoping for Edgar and Annabelle to maybe have their chance... and of course HG and Lenore. For those of us less literary-minded, could I request posting somewhere (your tumblr? other?) a list of all the literary references? I'm sure there are so many clever incorporations of these authors that are going right over my head. And (maybe when it's all done) then I'd have the list to go through and enjoy for longer? Just a thought. thanks for the excellent work you lovely people!

[@yyrael]

"Not really. He's terrible." :')

[@MadHymek323]

"Were you at the Vivian Nightingale Memorial Ball" is that a Gilded Lily reference I hear

[@babaloo55555]

See, what makes me sad about this episode is that Oscar Wilde was legitimately a great boxer. Sure, that aspect of his character doesn't quite go with his foppish portrayal here, but man...I was really hoping he'd goad Hemingway into fighting him and then laying him out with a single punch.

[@marocat4749]

Yes haha

[@Mori-wy8my]

(arriving seven years later in this comment section with this exact beef) EXACTLY plus we have have one if the most iconic Wilde quotes about boxing *that could in this case also be incriminating since it‘s literally like „the Oscar Wilde rule is shoot on sight“* and i am deeply shocked they didn’t use it

[@TheAceUpYourSleeves]

That Agatha Christie thing where she went missing actually happened, It’s a really interesting story! She went missing in the middle of the night after she learned that her husband had been cheating on her. Her daughter woke up alone in the house. Then they called the police and the police started a search for her even calling hound dogs to look for her. They also found her car which I think had a note in it but I’m not sure. It was eventually discovered that she had gone to a small town where she checked into a hotel under her husband’s misstress’ name and asked not to be disturbed. Another patron of the hotel recognized her and informed the police. It’s a really cool story and I don’t know if many people know about it!

[@elizabethklaers]

Thank you for sharing ! I feel like I had heard it was real but not many details! So it is really cool to know more
