Gothic Homemaking Episode Three - A Shame of Thrones Part 1

Distraught by just how terrible their furniture is, Orville and Voltaire embark on finding Gothic thrones worthy of the Gothic Homemaking hosts they are. All goes well until... ZOMBIES!
Then, Aurelio Voltaire finds a way to make gray walls more interesting with help from another realm.
Orville, as usual, is of no help at all!

[@kattriella1331]

"This is why we can't have nice things." "Why?" "*sobbing* Because we can't afford them!" I have never related to something more in my entire life . . .

[@ohno8398]

While a zombie invasion infests the city, Voltaire will be putting up wall decals with a succubus. Good to know he's a man who's got his priorities straight!

[@_Spy_]

*"This why we can't have nice things. Because we can't afford them."* This spoke to my soul and now I'm in pain. And I want it on a t-shirt 😂

[@MorriganJezebel]

That Johnny Depp Tim Burton fantasy tho made me laugh to damn hard lol!

[@thompse412]

Same here! I had to rewind; I was laughing so hard I couldn't hear what happened after!

[@kxl309]

That's just my aesthetic 24\7

[@TigerTigerII]

"Orville, gaze upon it!" for some reason, that was the funniest line for me.

[@sbkMulletMan]

"But if you've cheated us....we'll tear your soul APART!" Which unfortunately translates to "back to New Jersey with you!".

[@lusciousdeath]

So far, this is my fave episode yet. That bed, those furniture, zombies and Johnny Depp and Tim Burton making sweet love. You really need to have Elvira in an episode.

[@lisaannbarriner9633]

I'm not a GOTH, but I love the aesthetics, and the dark humor. This was awesome!

[@ZacKariahSheridan]

"Wow those zombies are dangerous, know what I mean?" [talking to a literal living dead guy]

[@HoaxNess]

I'm just binge watching this whole series. I love how the supernatural is just normal. A Yeti in the freezer, zombies delivering post asking for brains (yes, we don't have any!)

[@rileylouise4333]

i couldnt stop laughing at your reactions to haunt furniture cause honestly same

[@doktor_ghul]

Thrones and beds...oh, man, I feel your pain. Even an extra large coffin is cheaper than those horrors. The decals might come in handy, but all my wall space is already spoken for. The Bad Wolf Must Have Black Shelves!

[@ShawnSJames]

Loving these videos! Martha Stewart and Rachel Ray better look out!

[@kingcornelius865]

I've absolutely loved the flashback in which the maneater talks with your voice, the scene after credits and the phrases: "I hope it's Death" and "Pleasantville New Jersey?" Please go on with this wonderful work! 👹♥

[@ColonelMustache]

In this episode you led TWO attractive macabre ladies on, and then abandoned/banished them just because they tried to "eat you" or "suck your blood." Truly a cold and heartless man.

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

You know this is make believe, right? : /

[@ColonelMustache]

Of course, I was only joking. I didn't think you *actually* got bitten by a succubus that you summoned from a Lament Conf***uration and then banished her back to Jersey :) If that actually happened, I'd probably be too impressed to say anything negative about it.

[@antonvalak9276]

@Colonel Mustache, for future reference: so people don't think you're a maroon, you might want to put an "lol" in front on your comment. . . so people will know you're kidding. 😈

[@LinLuvJoe]

I really thought Voltaire was smarter than his reply to this comment 🤔 derp

[@LedKashmir]

​@@LinLuvJoeyou're highly underestimating the "aggressively unique" people out there that may actually think this is real lol

[@nevermore3928]

Reminds me of watching old Elvira episodes, great humor!

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Success!

[@lamiabats6369]

This show is my new favorite thing.

[@gigers2775]

From all of the things I saw here, I can afford the gluten free cupcake.

[@hideandseek558]

!!! is that the cute mortician clothing designer from oddities?? swooon

[@hideandseek558]

also those decals are perfect! i have stamps just like it that i like to decorate letters with

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Indeed! That's her!

[@JustineCerise]

I loved the show Oddities so much

[@RoxasCanFly]

mementomori I thought she looked familiar! I loved her, she seems so cool!

[@nfadaloo]

It's such an utter shame to hear these videos aren't getting the views they need. I'm impressed, personally.

[@brybaby89]

Eagerly awaiting the Baphomet head!

[@spencerwelchii573]

My wife of 25+ years was a 'Jersey Girl' born in Red Bank, but her fam left when she was like 4 or 5 so she was a 'Cali Girl' having lived there for 17 years, or maybe she was a 'Vegas Girl' considering she lived here from 1992 to 2017 like almost 25 years - so there's that...

[@JennapherLawson]

"Are your walls still lavender?" FTW!!! LOL

[@noniefuss]

Episode three, and I am officially addicted. Close my casket, I am slain by the Awesome here! xxoo

[@Fungus_Pilot]

2:20 don't you ever cry my dude, I can understand your pain...... BUT!, Your awesome videos on Gothic Homemaking are coming in handy

[@kingcornelius865]

I'm still thinking about "The future rockstar handbook" (that I found really well done), and about the fact that most of your work is made of talking to us and make us become nearest and nearest to you and your Art. So, by the way, I thought: isn't it funny that we make you live while you make us Live? Of course each Life has more than one reason and joy to be (I hope), but surely you're one of them 😼👹♠

[@MoriDarkmoss]

Look at her, she's like the sweetest thing. . .*teeth covered in blood*

[@LadyJaggerX3]

Mori Darkmoss Aesthetic.

[@ellenjester7035]

In the Tomb of third Repute She's a rotten kinda cute

[@WraythSkitzofrenik]

"I took a step into the tomb of ill repute. That's where I met her...the Zombie Prostitute."

[@dollybdarling]

LAURA! Anyone else remember her from the show Oddities!? she's so wonderful!

[@maggiemae3026]

Not goth but i love re-watching this series for home and deco ideas.

[@Vlogsoup]

I want some of those trees and the crows. I already have a few crows in my decor and those would make a great addition. That furniture kills me I wish I could afford some

[@SpaceChampi]

I need a tutorial on how to summon a succubus using a rubik's cube, for research purposes of course !

[@Jessica-us3gh]

Oh my gosh its Laura! I've missed her! I used to love seeing her on Oddities. 🖤

[@paulovictorsilvaferreira7824]

Finally this episode =3 I was waiting to see all the decals you talked about on your update video

[@superapplesauce5218]

Him looking at the thrones, with all the Gahs! And wahs! Is EXACTLY how I feel online shopping when I know I caaant afford theeemm! 😂

[@tiatorus]

i have been waiting years for these episodes and they do not disappoint

[@GrizzlyHansen]

Finally a time I can watch this the day it comes out. I'm so happy.

[@Elligons]

My neighbors probably think I'm some kind of a crazy lady, since I was up at 2am laughing at the bakery bit.

[@KrystalPerez85]

My husband is from Paramus, NJ. I agree with the succubus!

[@truedoughnut1458]

Geez that furniture is expensive nice work though, Those decals are awesome and I'm loving the show.

[@MikaruXDenka]

I love this so much, it gets better and better every time! Thank you so much for making these.

[@milenasantacruz]

Shame of thrones... oh! you predicted the GOT finale

[@alexlun4464]

I just can't live without voltaire...

[@kathrineheisler4328]

AH! I live in Houston. loving all the furniture. And yes, damn the New Jersey girls.

[@WolfShadowhill]

Zombies: Braaaaaains Voltaire: we don't have any!

[@eldritchnonsense1419]

This just keeps getting better!

[@PeteyHoudini]

Luved it!!!

[@just_sum_punk]

Hahaha Paramus , new jersey! Oh man. What's super great is when he finished the first decal, without the eye makeup he just looks like a really proud Goth Dad. haha love everything about this series.

[@BingBongDillyDong]

I hope you continue series like these in the future they are quite enjoyable.

[@roundishwhale]

He sad he would do 5 more episodes, if I am not mistaken. But he also sad that if he wont be able to gather more Views, he cant continue this show longer than that. (Check his newest Update Video, if you want to hear the whole thing^^)

[@nope8827]

I had your same reaction when i saw the thrones

[@pinelosbreak8550]

that lady is amazingly scary beautiful and in this ep, you kinda down... well your co-host is doing his job very well in this ep, he realy got you. xD

[@shulabayley6270]

Please keep making these videos.. I love everything you make and videos. Thankyou

[@m.a.miller6926]

As someone who had to spend a few months in Paramus, I can say that it is truly the worst circle of hell. Although the sucubi I encountered there were not as easy on the eyes as that one...

[@alienalis]

This show is just perfect!

[@lyrilithmalache4799]

I can't wait to have a room of my own to decorate in such elegant gothic fashion! But that will have to wait a few years.. Sharing rooms means to compromise. But thanks to your show I'll have all the ideas I need when that time comes. :D

[@decepticonskyshock279]

I feel your pain, I too am on a tight budget. It's so tight that even a noose firmly wrapped around my neck would be much more loose. I would go on about it, but I just got more to binge watch, loving it so far.

[@kevin6596]

I'm loving these videos! You've got me hooked.

[@AxiomofDiscord]

Your zombies are both giving me flashbacks of Spokane Valley living and the movie Dead Shit. At least you did not go that far with the cute zombie.

[@Frost6553]

This show is ghoulishly delightful!I adore it!

[@Ewok91]

I really love these videos. There very helpful and supper funny! Can't wait to see more. Keep them coming!!!

[@deedeeblackwater8354]

Gah! I wished I had watched this earlier. It's so much fun to see how your lair is evolving. Unfortunately I don't yet have a permanent enough residence yet to really go all out decorating, but once I do I'll be armed with some great ideas thanks to you!

[@LadyofFaewood]

Lol love your videos, so fun! How good is haunt cult, been drooling over the furniture from there for ages 🙂

[@Candys-Killer]

Voltaire´s reaction to watching gorgeous furniture on internet it´s is painfully ACCURATE!

[@eileenbaran7040]

AbsolomRoche has amazing furniture. They run sales about 4 times a year. One sale was buy 1 get 1. Petite thrones on sale are $199. I love this site. Like their page and you'll get their sales when it happens.

[@NightWillowCrafts]

Oh my goth (hehe) I love this series! I hope this continues for several weeks!! You are doing such an amazing job at this!! 💜💜💜

[@irunamuk]

Just a thought, but maybe if we all contributed $1 or $5 on Patreon he might be able to afford to produce many more episodes or even a couple different series.

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

That would be nice!

[@suburbohemian]

Loving this series! I adore the decals!!!! I have to say though, V, that when I read the title I kinda thought you were doing your bathroom!!! LOL "Thrones" etc. So maybe when you *do* get around to it, you can add the tentacles there! You know, a kind of Davy Jones locker theme? Cus let's face it a lot of people do sea themes in the bath...and you could do a claw foot tub! (or at least maybe paint the image of one on the side of the typical apartment-style tub...) Can't wait to see the next episode!

[@Zenia666]

Those decals look amazing! I've always been iffy about buying them...but they look great! Great video, thanks for the laughs! XOXO

[@KaylaTeets]

I was convinced he was going to get a wall decal of a ouija board onto the wall xD that would've been so cool!

[@PhyreI3ird]

SO much quality in one video, this is criminal Voltaire!! STAHP

[@nyxshadowhawk]

Right when I thought I'd found my new desk chair, I find out it's over 2,000 dollars...

[@sunniflowers4542]

I love this series!

[@Dnbfan]

Everyday i hope that something will be out about the new album. Love the great job you're doing Voltaire, keep it up.

[@uggie]

This guy is going places

[@LoisIsATimeLord]

Lol This is fabulous, Voltaire! Can't wait to see more :D

[@SleepywitchVibes]

Love this man.

[@l0vemisfits]

I love this!!!

[@runesage]

Found this series just now ) have 6 years to catch up xD nice xD True Gothic show for me

[@glampira2646]

Fantastic!!

[@LestatEternalLover]

Looooove this! I've been looking for a throne for Ernie that's worthy of his evilness. I'll have to hunt around on eBay too. Voltaire this show is what the Goth Community needed! Love you! 🖤

[@kristenlindesy95]

This is honestly pretty adorable

[@flair541]

V, I thank you for this beautiful madness.

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Stay tuned. It gets weirder!!!! LOL!

[@flair541]

The Lair of Voltaire I look forward to it. Also: Thank you for writing my favorite song when I was a kid. Namely: Brains.

[@werelemur1138]

That zombie girl was definitely "a rotten kind of cute." ;)

[@littlepixieme1]

Yep. Morally, he's destitute in his tomb of ill repute

[@azurafae]

It's coming along nicely. I might need a creepy tree decal in my bathroom. Our grey paint is similar to yours.

[@rankpup8268]

Your makeup is amazing here!

[@FalseKings]

When you went flirt with the zombie girl I thought Zombie Prostitute was gonna start playing xDD Great episode!! The walls are looking AWESOME

[@blackharvest13]

If you haven't heard if sin in linen yet you should check them out. You would love them.

[@lostinafaerietale9406]

Those decals are gorgeous! I'm looking forward to seeing what those chairs are like, I'm always nervous about buying furniture from ebay.

[@kimthongdee1]

Your show has inspired me to make some stuff like a hanging coffin jewelry box

[@goblinzed3078]

this episode made me laugh so hard i can't explain i love your sense of humor ahahahah

[@sonofriggnarok9320]

This is hilarious, and helpful.

[@mistressmacabremassacre7403]

Voltaire I have been a fan of yours since I was 12 years old you recently came to Austin in my state! I had tickets and was looking forward to it for weeks but was admitted to the hospital and couldn't attend it just broke my heart I realy hope you enjoyed your time in Texas I hope to catch you again soon

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

I'm very sorry to hear that! Don't worry, I'll be back! I play there at least once a year.. sometimes twice!

[@catherinemiss6360]

This series is just amazing. Don't listen to orville, he clearly has hair envy.

[@mariposaqueen1671]

i love your ending that was so cool 😎

[@dedeshikaalabi-mensah9471]

This show is full of puns I love it😝

[@itsnotaphasemom4789]

It hurts how expensive gothic pieces are especially as a minor.

[@shadowbrookroad1844]

Maybe it's just me, but every time I go to Haunt's website I just get a timer counting down...

[@generalreiko1305]

love it! good work! a hug from spain! hope someday you can be here in madrid

[@sharon3286]

Binge watching you ☠️💀 Black Friday sent me ❤️

[@RoxasCanFly]

I notice the lamp you modified in the last episode is now purple insead of white, did you do that with a colored bulb? It looks awesome! Also: WALL DECALS ARE THE BEST IDEA EVER. I can't believe I never thought of it! My walls are already a light grey (score one for my awesome landlady allowing it), but please excuse me while I run off to Etsy to find myself some of those amazing designs!

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

I just put a purple bulb in it instead of a white one.

[@DarklightAmy]

This reminds me that I have a window decal I need to get up..

[@themoonflowerfaerie]

I love this show and have really gotten some wonderful ideas from you. :) I did check on Black Craft Furniture and All of their furniture is sold out! Absolom Roche has nothing but white and gold things now. Quite disappointing ;( However, I will check around on the net and see if anyone else has surfaced that sells nice goth furniture. I have seen Haunt before and their prices are high, however if they are the only ones around now, I may purchase from them in the future when finances get loads better :) Take care and keep up with the wonderful programs
