Another cracking great episode of Tim Curry's FMV Zone, thanks guys!

[@dallydaydream]

I came to the comments to say this exactly, thrilled that someone else is on the same wavelength ^_^

[@johnsharplin]

@@dallydaydream I feel like many of us are on a similar wavelength after years of OX content 😂 wouldn't have it any other way

[@lisah-p8474]

Tim gets better at this every year. Can't wait to see him in 2024! 🎉

[@johnsharplin]

@lisah-p8474 Literally! It's witchcraft

[@bobbie9066]

I did enjoy when he took over Andy's job 😆

[@Ranjaq]

There's another game made by the same company called "Mummy: Tomb of the Pharaoh" and it stars Malcolm McDowell. It's pretty great.

[@weneedaladder8384]

This is starting to sound a bit "World of Darkness". Next you're gonna tell me theres an FMV called "Vampire: The Monster Attractor" starring Jeff Goldblum.

[@mar_speedman]

@@weneedaladder8384 Is this a joke or is Vampire: Monster Attractor an actual game?? xD

[@lisah-p8474]

​@@mar_speedman To my knowledge the only FMV game Jeff Goldblum has ever played Dracula in is Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland. I mean... maybe it happened twice?? LOL

[@mar_speedman]

@@lisah-p8474 I don't *think* Jeff Golblum could've played Dracula twice, but... I *want* to believe the game is real xD

"Parts is parts" is an American saying. Commonly used by mechanics/similar trades and was featured in a popular Wendy's ad in the '80s.

[@Tyr_Magnus]

You guys need to do 90s fmv game "Ripper". Cyberpunk Jack the Ripper story with main character played by Christopher Walken. Also starring Burgess Meredith, Paul Giamatti, and several other crazy names.

[@JonathonWest-te4sj]

I'd love to see that, I never played it, but I saw the trailer on a Demo Disc (feeling old) and it's the first time I heard Blue Oyster Cult's epic Don't Fear The Reaper.

[@Tyr_Magnus]

@@JonathonWest-te4sj heh, I played it and it was the first time I ever heard that song. I remember you had to listen to the lyrics and move symbols in order based on "the wind, the sun, and the rain" line. 😁😂

[@sambridgett]

Andy's completely deadpan "No stairway. Denied." was a thing of beauty 😘👌

[@kattnap92]

Luke and Andy's reaction to "Pork Butt" was hilarious, I played it back twice before moving on. This is the content we are here for.

[@TekMerc]

I love how Luke visibly hates this game.

[@KopaXTani]

Lol! I know right? I think Dracula Unleashed’s difficulty took a lot out of him.

[@randyotte9599]

And the GPF at the end of the game was just the best. I'm pretty sure they cut away so Luke could swear a blue streak.

[@coyoteone6197]

To be fair, the game started it.

[@mychatpalace]

luke visibly hates every fmv game

[@barbararowley6077]

I feel obliged to add I’d watch the rest of the game happily, but only if Luke and Andy want to continue it. You never know, there might be another pork butt waiting to be discovered.

[@AribellaAC]

I remember playing this game when I was 8 or 9. I’m glad it hasn’t been lost forever in the oblivion of MSDOS. 😂

[@Jillbles]

Old person here - there was an American Wendy's ad campaign in the early 80's that featured, "Parts is parts." It was regarding chicken nuggets, & implied that it didn't matter what bits went in to nuggets at lower quality establishments (McDonald's), but that THEIR nuggets were all breast. So, a reference, I guess? Thanks for another successful year of Hallowstreams! As always, you've been one of my favorite parts of spooky season. Already looking forward to next year, and hoping you can source a PSVR2 for a Luke & Andy's FMVR Zone for the 7th Guest (by all reports, NOT just chess puzzles).

[@jormungandrtheworldserpent8382]

i don't care how long it takes to finish the game i will watch every second

[@Ashethetics]

Second year of asking you guys to make FMV Zone a regular thing past Halloween! It’s so good! And there’s SO many bad FMV games to choose from ❤

[@pmonday]

Seeing the lads unhinge completely at 1:50:00 was really something special, on par with "NO SCENE IS PLAYING!!"

[@pmonday]

When he pressed ignore and nothing happened I lost it for about five minutes.

[@BeaBea-54]

the crossfade to the schedule had me howling. the poor boys 😂

[@wa6488]

Which game did they say "NO SCENE IS PLAYING" again?

[@DodderingOldMan]

The Blackadder quote at 8:27 is the perfect example of why I love this channel so much. I was shouting that quote in my head, hoping that someone would say it. You didn't disappoint. Also, I have to say that Tim Curry is just an absolute treasure. I honestly believe his performance in Rocky Horror is the most iconic performance of the 20th century.

[@fixedG]

You have no idea how much I've been looking forward to this one, lads. The antici...............pation.

[@tomwarren5580]

Finally I have more evidence that the only way to make a great game is to include full motion footage of Tim Curry. But now I can never forgive Andy or Luke because at the start of the stream they failed to mention that Tim Curry was in the greatest film ever made, Muppet Treasure Island.

[@pmonday]

An absolute affront.

[@michael_mcgowan]

I haven't seen the movie in 20+ years, but Rizzo's, "I'm going as fast as i can," is something I've thought about at least once a week since then.

[@robertnixon1557]

we should bring back lukes FMV zones cause Andy's FMV zone is full of bugs and crashes

[@vamikos]

Luke (and maybe Andy 😜)'s FMV zone is my fav time of the year. Gotta watch from the start, since I've missed the live. Happy Halloween!

[@alexl.6187]

This was fun; can we have a part 2 where Andy does the next part and Luke guides him next year, Please?

From "I _was_ hung" to "where are my nuts," this had all the reasons I love these two men playing together. wait phrasing

[@merissaj4518]

I shall miss Luke and Andy's FMV zone now that Luke has departed. Hallowestream is forever altered.

[@shadowpitched4401]

Games crashing like this one did is why the motto for games like these was "Save early, save often".

[@dallydaydream]

Little known fact, Frankenstein is the name of the scientist, so the proper name for this stream is actually Frankenstein's FMV Zone

[@ethanwebb5334]

Looking forward to eventually seeing which FMV scene makes it into the Presh Mems

[@barbararowley6077]

I think it’s even money on pork butt and the ‘was it a grammatical error or did they really mean hung?’ glorious moment.

[@mattwhite3068]

I understand this is for halloween, but I would watch these two play through every FMV game ever made.

57:20 Yep! We found the new Mid Night Crow, and “Daylight starts to fade away…”

[@austinsebben1402]

I may have failed to make it through the framing device about the creation going to live in the Arctic, but I feel like the point of Frankenstein was the Doctor’s mistreatment of basically his son, and not that the creature was just completely the fullly developed person the brain came from, right?

[@preussen1813]

Thank you for playing these FMV games. I would happily watch more of this

[@trajeudi7488]

i know luke and andy didn't believe when people called this "a strong finish" but tbh this has, without a doubt, been my favorite part of hallowstream, closely followed by dracula unleashed :D

[@Weazel1]

It’s not very often we see a man break in real time. Poor Luke.

[@NathanWeeks]

"Pork butt!" is definitely the new response when someone says to say the Tim Curry line!

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

I'm about an hour into the video, does Luke ever realize that when he's clicking on the doors it's not making him walk through the door, it's just making him take a step forward so he can then turn and finally walk through the door. Every time he tries clicking on a door up and to the side he seems a little confused when he turns and sees a door. For instance- 32:57 , 38:42 and most clearly 40:50 Watch his reaction when Andy says "and through that door on the left." , Once Luke turns and sees the door he's completely lost again because he thought he just walked through the "door on the left" but all he did was take a step forward which is why he seems confused to just be facing a dead end since he thinks he just walked into a room. It's funny how much it seems to mess with him if you just watch the mouse cursor and where he's clicking combined with his confusion on just this type of door you can notice when he's just doing what Andy says because Luke is lost but Andy is totally following it and I don't think he realizes Luke's issue yet. I'm looking forward to this next hour+. 😅👍

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Someone actually does mention it in the live comments, Andy eventually reads it out. 😄👍

[@Icam_here]

poor Luke looks like this broke him but i liked how he said nothing and just put up the end stream thing, i can't believe i'm saying the FMV without Tim Curry in it was the better one this hallowstream

[@flintenstein]

1:49:49 Don't worry, it's just an evil spell that freezes you!!

[@barbararowley6077]

BTW, watching Ian’s playthrough of the first part of The Third Guest in VR it does look like they’ve fixed some/most of the more frustrating bits. I’d guess the radon reference is about how it was viewed when first discovered. People really did think radioactive things were health giving, until the awful truth became obvious. Poor Marie Curie’s coffin is lead because her remains are still dangerously radioactive. P.S. I’m so sorry Andy’s FMV Zone seems to have been cursed this year by the tech goblins. I hope your blood pressures are OK.

[@lizabee484]

Very true, did a whole historical first person interpretation theater project on how the element Marie Curie’s discovered, radium, ended up killing dozens, of not hundreds of young, often immigrant, women and girls due to its use in the paint they used in their factory jobs. They were called the Radium Girls, and the cases they brought against the companies they worked for were some of the significant moments in the fight for workers rights and better health & safety measures. I’ve explained it in not a great way, but there’s a wonderfully written book called, fittingly, “The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women,” that explains it significantly better.

[@Jillbles]

My Dad ended up with a rare form of mandibular (jaw) cancer, because of how fabulous new radiation applications were being used in dentistry in the 50's. Science: the cause of, and solution for, so many of our problems.

[@haravikk]

Yeah 7th Guest VR looks like an actually good game, and the way they seem to have integrated the original FMV in 3D is seriously impressive. I desperately want to see them do the same thing for some of my favourites. Microsoft has the rights to Zork now after acquiring Activision, I'd love for Zork Nemesis to get the same treatment, as done well the full ambience in 3D with its phenomenal music could be incredible.

[@Jillbles]

@@haravikk I don't think it's the original FMV? It IS FMV, though; just newly recorded.

[@haravikk]

@@Jillbles Is it? They've done a really good job of matching the style then as the characters look exactly as I remember them!

[@weneedaladder8384]

For "life stone" to have an atomic number of 86, it would have to be a noble gas with a melting point of roughly 200°K, or roughly -70°C (-95°F). Meaning it would be basically impossible for it to be a stone outside of a pressurized environment.

[@oneofscavs]

The scientist's name is Franken Curry.

[@claretravels783]

Personally I first knew Tim Curry as the voice of the Mouse King in Barbie in the Nutcracker...really elevates that film

[@xstarsystemsx]

That feeling when you get home and it says "streamed 31 seconds ago" 😂😂😢

[@bearcat1868]

I really enjoyed watching this, hoping you continue it later on. Perhaps Andy should have a 10 or 15 minute timer for saving progress in the future...?

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

I appreciate your hard work whether you are doing a livestream or a list video.

[@AquaMaryn.]

Thank you for the joy that is the FMV Zone. I wish it wasn't a Halloween-only thing. Would love to see you two play some of the newer releases.

[@TheYorkRose]

Yay for even more exciting content from Michael's FMV Zone! The best bit is from 2:10 to the end of the video. Plenty of both Frankenstein and his father aka Frankenstein's real monster 👌🏽

[@jmgriffee]

This game made me consider that if this falls under "FMV," Myst would technically count, too. And now my head hurts. Editing to add, now that I've seen the end: Someone needs to put together a walkthrough that's just Tim Curry barking which direction to turn at any given time.

[@Jade-St28]

FMV Zone is one of my favorite parts of the hallowstreams, along with the vampires masquerade bloodlines playthroughs

[@brentage5000]

The most terrifying thing was, of course, Luke's silence at that moment.😂😂😂

[@maliciositygames]

The monster sounds a lot like Osmund Saddler from the original RE4 (but it definitely is not).

[@arnulfomartinez2486]

A really great (Sorta FMV game) is Stasis: Bone Totem. I havent finished it yet but it is so creepy and entertaining. It also has great death scenes to try and collet. lol

[@mintyr9368]

Hallowstream ratings! Content warnings: capital punishment (first scene), emetophobia Horror rating: 1/5, for those FMV classics, inscrutable mazes and crash screens! Entertainment rating: 5/5, I want to go back in time and make more terrible Halloween-related FMV games so that this series never ends. Great work lads! Favourite moment: Tim Curry's gender armfirmation surgery and "That's why they called Mario" That's a wrap on this year's Hallowstream! Really enjoyed this year, such a good showing. My favourite stream overall was Dracula Unleashed (especially part 2), and my favourite moment overall was from the Bloodborne stream (you can guess what)!

[@haravikk]

Man I do not remember Frankenstein being so tedious with its navigation at all, I guess that's the benefit of rose tinted glasses! If you guys are looking for recommendations for good FMV games next year, I'd suggest Zork Nemesis, it doesn't have LOADS of FMV but it's a really good game and the GoG version should just download and run, I played it earlier this year and it ran fine. Grand Inquisitor is really good too (and has more FMV) but it's a lot less spooky than Nemesis; could always run a non-Hallowstream FMV Zone?

[@tzovlask]

Next time you meet with Tim Curry, you should ask him if he remembers when you made him rant during Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster. I think you will find his memory to be quite excellent

[@pathindsley]

1:28:00 I love how many times they passed the corridor that went left without seeing it. Interestingly designed game....

[@humaj19]

So Frank-N-Furter was at least slightly influenced by Frankenstein, and I'd have loved to see that Tim Curry's doctor in Through the Eyes of the Monster was in some way influenced by Frank-N-Furter. But quite possibly not at all.

[@taurinr]

[@tonyb6555]

It's a shame the doctor's signature wasn't legible in any of his notes, finally putting a name to the creator of Frankenstein would have meant this story really added something to the lore. I guess no writer is prepared to commit to that kind of major addition. However, the fact that clearly neither of you is old enough to recognise 8.3 filename limitations in action depresses me.

[@sewed102]

If you're referring to the creator of the creature, he is named in the novel as Victor. If you're referring to Dr Frankenstein's father, he is Alphonse, again according to the novel. If you mean the creature, he is called Bob. I may have made up that last fact 😊
